We can forget about proliferation concerns at this point. If North Korea can make a nuke and a long range delivery system, anybody can. Things like opposing breeder reactors or propping up the Russian space agency are no longer an issue.
The backplate does provide some cooling on higher end cards. I have a water block on a 3080 and it’s not recommended to run it without a backplate.
If you invest in the sp500, you’ll have something around 8% return per year. This is highly variable year by year, of course, but in the long run, that’s what you can expect to average out. You can do better than the sp500, but generally not without accepting higher risk.
With those returns, you will double your money every 9 years. Roughly. It’s going to vary by decade. 2000-2010 was flat, while 2010-2020 was unusually good.
If you max out a 401k, HSA, and IRA on this strategy from a young age, you should have millions for retirement. If you’re a millennial or younger, you’re going to need a million or two (at least) to have a reasonable retirement.
How do you turn that into a billion? Doubling every 9 years won’t do it in your lifetime. Not unless you started life as a millionaire and never withdrew a dime until you were 90. Starting with $1000 and doubling every year for 20 years, consistently, would do it.
How do you double your money consistently for 20 years? Either extreme luck or doing something extremely shady. Probably both.
In other words, they are not the genius captains of industry that right-libertarians want you to believe. They got lucky or are deeply unethical or both, and they do not deserve your respect. Most likely, they deserve your disdain. Every one of them.
Measure of a Man is legally and philosophically nonsense. It doesn’t grapple with any of the history of questions around consciousness, and there has got to be dedicated JAG officers on the Enterprise who are better equipped to handle the case.
The issue is that they’re being counted extra times because of multiple people logging into the same machine.
Strictly speaking, the war with the North never formally ended, but that’s a whole problem in itself.
Nah, they’re stuck. The most recent 2xx series Intel chips are actually on a better TSMC fab than what AMD’s 9000 series chips are using, but you wouldn’t know it from almost any benchmark available. Their architecture is just bad, and a fab improvement can’t even save it.
Almost certainly too late to get Nintendo. According to Nvidia insiders, their work for the Switch followup SoC has been done for ages, and they’re a bit puzzled that Nintendo hasn’t released it yet. The reason seems to be unfavorable exchange rates between the Yen and USD, and Nintendo’s board of directors has worked themselves into analysis paralysis over the “best” time to release.
Aren’t those subsidies for building new fabs? They aren’t able to use those funds for general operations.
They are. Modeling has shown that getting Australia to 98.8% renewable is highly achievable.

Every time Intel makes a release when AMD is about to release their own competitive product, Lisa is seen sitting in a big comfy chair, next to a fireplace, calmly sipping tea at them.
I don’t watch LTT anymore, but they do have my favorite example of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuaiqcjf0bs
tl;dw: Intel did a last minute reschedule of the embargo on their new HEDT lineup to lift hours before the new AMD Threadripper chips did the same. Those chips could barely keep up with AMD’s current offerings, and everyone involved knew that the new AMD stuff was going to crush it (which it did). Intel bumps the timeline so reviews have to go out (because reviewers have to get them clicks) without being compared to what’s actually going to be sitting on shelves alongside it. Linus sees what they’re doing and absolutely rips into them at the start of the video.
Steam hardware survey is questionable. There’s a lot of computer cafes in east Asia where people login to their Steam accounts and happen to hit the survey. Those machines are often running very low end cards like the Nvidia 1050. This is common enough that the results are heavily skewed.
The competition for CPUs can be AMD vs ARM vs RISC-V. It doesn’t have to be between two x86 giants.
That’s better, not necessarily for instruction set reasons, but because ARM and RISC-V are more open to multiple companies stepping in to produce chips.
Eh, he was handed a company in a bad strategic place and he did not fix it.
Lisa Su was in a similar position when she took over AMD, but she managed it. While I don’t want to put too much emphasis on the CEO alone, AMD’s turnaround is quite remarkable. They very easily could have collapsed at one point.
Right, that’s what I’m saying. It’s a rehash summary of the Gamers Nexus vid interspersed with advertisements before getting to the point.
We all complain sometimes that people don’t read the article. But when the article can be so easily summed up like this, why should we bother?
Would it be like a chest burster alien, or more like what Neo did to Agent Smith?
What the Trisolarans are worried we’ll do to them. For mostly fair reasons.
Right. I feel like they were a self correcting problem all along. They get buried in Sturgeon’s Law and that’s the end of it.
Except for that one guy who tried to copyright claim Steph’s channel. That guy needs something more. Like any kind of consequences at all for false copyright claims.
Bandwidth is one. Going from 30fps to 60fps doesn’t necessarily double your bandwidth (due to how video compression works), but it doesn’t help.
On the recording side, things get even worse. You want very light compression, preferably none if you can. At higher resolutions, that can stress the limits of hard drive throughput, and flash storage is still expensive.
At really high resolutions and framerates, the CPU usage of just moving data around can be a stress point. You don’t want to have a CPU fan running in the background during a shoot. You need either a passive cooling solution on a low end CPU, or a bunch of thermal mass to absorb heat for the length of the shoot and then let the fan go crazy as soon as you stop. Oh, and that heat has to stay away from the camera sensor or you get thermal noise.
Then there’s lighting. Doubling the framerate means half the light hitting the sensor per frame. So you use more light. But studio lights remain expensive because they need high CRI and (especially at higher framerate) need to be flicker-free. The power supplies for LEDs to be flicker-free tend to be less efficient or more complicated, so they’re not mass market with economies of scale. Or you can use older, hotter, and even less efficient forms of lighting. The kind that can literally cook an egg on its backside.
Alternatively, you can turn up the ISO, but now you’re introducing thermal noise again. Edit: can also use a lens with a big apature, but this is also expensive and affects the depth of field (the part of the image that’s in focus).
It’s all stuff that can be solved with some amount of money, but even the LTT or Mr Beast level channels struggle to get there.
