    30,000 NVIDIA Engineers Use Generative AI for 3x Higher Code Output

    AI code is verbose (to an extreme, sometimes with weird loops requiring pages of code when 4 lines could do the same thing). Human code is optimized. I'm surprised it's only 3x. And it's weird counting success by amount of lines in code. I'd count success with fewer lines of code with the...

    Aoostar WTR Max. 6+5 Bay NAS. Good?

    Has anyone bought or used the Aoostar WTR Max 6+5 Bay NAS? https://aoostar.com/products/aoostar-wtr-max-amd-r7-pro-8845hs-11-bays-mini-pc How is it? Is it as good as it seems and reviewers say (ex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnpCWHRiMqQ) I'm going to get rid of the very, very, old Dlink...

    Solar Breakthrough

    I don't want to break up the text into snippets. I'll address it as a whole. Feel free to break it up if you reply. Cost isn't an issue. Cost is negligible vs if we don't go that route. It's actually not complicated. It's only complicated if you don't want to do it. If you calculate that...

    Solar Breakthrough

    Alright, lets go past my idealistic summary with real world examples! But I want to address the "selling it at a loss" statement first. Yes, produce it at a immediate monetary negative income (recover later). Electricity should also be free for the most part for at least residential use up to a...

    Solar Breakthrough

    There is plenty of raw materials, including copper to build interconnected grids. It's not a new grid you build, but expand and refine the current one. The challenge is technical (and political), not raw material shortages. If every house and commercial building was required to install solar...

    Solar Breakthrough

    No need to store it. Just generate all the power you can, send it to grid. Interconnect the grid across networks, states, and countries, west to east and east to west. Permanent power. No storage solution needed for immediate use. Classic, polluting power should be shut down and solar panels...

    Microsoft Recall becomes a dependency for File Explorer in Windows 11 2H24 and is thus mandatory.

    Stuttering/hitching in gaming (not microstutter) with 9800X3D

    You have a sweet system, and its hilarious (to me anyway) that Sound Blaster comes back and screws up systems still and again. Not easy to toss expensive stuff, but I would toss the soundblaster. It sounds (kek) like a ram/timing issue.

    When will I see..... MSRP?

    MSRP? The biggest retailer listed a 5090 here for over US$ 4400 today and it was gone in 2 hours. In a country where the average income is US$ 560 a month... Now they list a 5080 for US$ 1600. 5070Ti was US$ 1060. Cheapest 9070xt was US$ 785, and haven't been in stock since hour 1.

    Rumor: Prices leaked for 9900X, 9950X, 9900X3D ($599), and 9950X3D ($699)

    When I can get a 9900x3d at non-salted prices it looks like a decent step up from a 3900x, although the 3900x still works a treat. I did price out a comparable system with 64 GB DDR5 and inflation has hit pretty big, eh.

    I got nothing, what about you?

    I'll echo this here too: Imagine Apple launching the next iPhone at MSRP of $599, but the price in store goes up by the hour until it settles on the actual price of $999. Both nVidia and AMD can fork right out of here with their lying and deceiving.

    AMD Debuts Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 Powered by RDNA 4, and FSR 4

    What a ripoff these companies are. Imagine Apple launching the next iPhone at MSRP of $599, but the price in store goes up by the hour until it settles on the actual price of $999. Both nVidia and AMD can fork right out of here with their lying and deceiving. I guess AMD's businessmodel is...

    DOOM Eternal - Official

    I want it, but not for 2x to 3x the price of other new releases. Normally steam charges me 20-30 dollars for AAA games, but for some reason Doom Eternal is listed at 60. Too bad there is no official shareware.
