L28[09:13:45] <darsie> Is 32 GB instead of 16 GB beneficial for KSP2?
L29[09:16:18] <Eddi|zuHause> probably depends on mods
L30[09:16:33] <darsie> ok. Ship complexity?
L31[09:17:26] <Mat2ch> Depends on how parts are handled by KSP
L32[09:17:58] <Mat2ch> but I guess the part count has an effect on how much memory is needed, but we're talking about kilobytes, not megabytes
L33[09:18:26] <Mat2ch> Most memory is needed for textures. Everything else is mathematical calculations on a few numbers
L34[09:18:36] <darsie> ok
L35[09:18:47] <Eddi|zuHause> i'd think about how detailed the models are, but definitely there are games that would benefit more obviously from excess memory
L36[09:20:05] <darsie> Well, the used PC I'm trying to buy has 40 GB, but it's 32+8, which is bad, so I want 2x16 or 2x8 instead.
L37[09:25:32] <Mat2ch> if you can go for 2x16, but look at the memory speed as well.
L38[09:25:50] <darsie> Yeah, I want 3200.
L39[09:26:22] <Mat2ch> Most modern mainboards and ram have built in or support overclocking profiles that are safe to use and will not destroy anything.
L40[09:26:32] <Mat2ch> *support for
L41[09:27:00] <darsie> Hmm, ok. This one does, too.
L42[09:27:36] <Mat2ch> what cpu are you getting?
L43[09:27:53] <darsie> https://www.gigabyte-data.com/products/page/mb/B550M-S2H-rev-10/sp
L44[09:28:04] <darsie> Ryzen 5 3500
L45[09:28:08] <darsie> 3600*
L46[09:28:52] <Mat2ch> Ok, base clock is 3200 MHz
L47[09:33:34] <darsie> Got a clue what would be a good speed?
L48[09:35:50] <Mat2ch> it depends on how much money you actually want to spend.
L49[09:36:46] <Mat2ch> The price for 4600 MHz memory is double the amount than what you have to pay for 3200 MHz.
L50[09:39:05] <darsie> So technically all speeds are ok, as in not harmful?
L51[09:40:36] <Mat2ch> you can always run faster memory at slower speeds.
L52[09:41:18] <Mat2ch> But it also helps to select a vendor and go to their website and see if they have tested that memory with your processor (or a similar one)
L53[09:41:34] <Mat2ch> usually the also add the overclocking profiles.
L54[09:41:40] <darsie> Ok, but that's silly. Just overclocking might damage things.
L55[09:42:05] <Althego> modern cpus basically overclock themselves if they have t he thermal headroom
L56[09:42:10] <Mat2ch> The fun fact about AMD cpus is that you usually can overlock the memory and the cpu benefits from it, because the waiting time to access the memory is lower.
L57[09:42:18] <Mat2ch> Althego: not the memory controller.
L58[09:42:20] <Althego> and you cant win much with it, unsless you go the liquid nitrogen route
L59[09:42:26] <Althego> the memory controller too
L60[09:42:33] <Althego> that is the xmp /expo settings
L61[09:42:56] <Mat2ch> those are fixed settings you select to run the memory at
L62[09:43:02] <Althego> and modern amd you basically have to turn it on anyway, so
L63[09:43:04] <Izzy> new hardware is weird I got better performance by underclocking
L64[09:43:32] <Althego> you an get slightly better performance by undervolting slighty with the curve optimizer
L65[09:43:49] <Izzy> gave it more thermal headroom by mildly undervolting and underclocking yeah
L66[09:45:03] <Mat2ch> Interesting
L67[09:45:11] <darsie> WTF, there's illuminated RAM ...
L68[09:45:22] <Mat2ch> for years already!
L69[09:45:38] <Mat2ch> You can have your case light up like a christmas tree. And worse.
L70[09:45:52] <darsie> Yeah, I've seen fans etc.
L71[09:46:03] <Althego> man, are you under a rock
L72[09:46:07] <Althego> everything high end is rgb
L73[09:46:11] <Althego> whether you want it or not
L74[09:46:41] <Althego> i managed to get by with minimal, there is only an xfx light n the video card, not changing colors, and the ram doing rainbow
L75[09:47:27] <Althego> which is slightly useful, because you can see the fans spinning and even the 4 error leds
L76[09:47:51] <Mat2ch> you can get everything without RGB, too. But sometimes getting the stuff with RGB is just cheaper
L77[09:48:13] <Izzy> unironically thinking about getting some RGB LED strips because I'm a BeOS fangirl
L78[09:48:36] <Izzy> stick em in the front transparent part of the case and use them as a load graph
L79[09:49:43] <Izzy> already got RGB fans though, because those were the cheapest aliexpress fans that didn't have awful reviews or lifetime rating of "no"

L142[10:52:52] <Eddi|zuHause> Deddly: the reasoning there i disagree with the most is that ";" means a shorter pause, because on reading, because of its rarity, it'd imply a longer pause.

L144[10:53:27] <Mat2ch> I want to make sure we both see DDR4 only
L145[10:54:52] <darsie> right, the one wiht 5200MHz has DDR5 and only one DDR4, thx.
L146[10:59:12] <Deddly> Eddi|zuHause, It's between a comma and a full stop. So it's a longer pause than a comma for sure.
L147[10:59:51] <Eddi|zuHause> Deddly: yes. but it breaks the reading flow, so it's also a longer stop than a period.

L209[12:43:45] <packbart> I heard an anecdotal report from a supercomputer user. his code sadly synchronized in a way that all the cores would switch between idle/full load/idle at more or less precisely the same time
L210[12:44:12] <packbart> the power supply didn't like switching a few kilowatts in microseconds and gave a loud bang
L211[12:44:33] <packbart> they use random delays in their code now
L212[12:44:50] <Izzy> it's funny, I originally got the 750W PSU that popped to run a pair of GTX 690s, which were wildly inefficient monsters. 600W total.
L213[12:45:32] <Izzy> that 600W was across 4 GPU ICs - meaning each individual GPU used "only" 150W, which is pretty small nowadays
L214[12:47:03] <Izzy> double that would not be unexpected for a single GPU. wild.
L215[12:52:15] <packbart> According to Nvidia its DGX B200 chassis with eight B200 GPUs will consume roughly 14.3kW – something that's going to require roughly 60kW of rack power and thermal headroom to handle.
L216[12:52:19] <packbart> In a liquid-cooled configuration, Nvidia says the chip can output 1,200W of thermal energy when pumping out the full 20 petaFLOPS of FP4.
L217[12:52:24] <packbart> Central Heating Unit :)
L218[12:52:34] <packbart> ( https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/18/nvidia_turns_up_the_ai/ )
L219[12:53:32] <Althego> i heard there is a new future for analog computers, because they can run neural networks with little power and exact precision does not matter for that
L220[13:10:57] <Eddi|zuHause> dunno, most AI stuf i've seen runs with 8bit integers
L221[13:11:34] <Eddi|zuHause> but that might be because it's been designed for GPUs
L222[13:13:46] <Althego> they go as low as they can get, i think there are lower than 8 bits now
L223[13:15:08] <Eddi|zuHause> yes, but that only makes sense on hardware that benefits from those data types
L224[13:16:02] <packbart> 4-bit floating-point and such
L225[13:17:14] <Althego> so anyway with that you can go to analog and consume a lot less power
L226[13:18:10] <Eddi|zuHause> but, can you produce them in quantities high enough to be relevant and cost effective?
L227[13:19:06] <Althego> shouldnt be too hard
L228[13:19:18] <Althego> it is basically what 50s or 60s tech
L229[13:19:51] <Eddi|zuHause> yes, but you don't have 70 years of miniaturization on the production lines
L230[13:21:06] <Althego> actually we do
L231[13:21:17] <Althego> bot the analog components stopped scaling a long time ago
L232[13:21:23] <Eddi|zuHause> and not an established market in the billions of chips
L233[13:21:33] <Althego> sram stopped scaling about two processes ago
L234[13:21:44] <Althego> so the only t hing scaling now is logic
L235[13:22:02] <Althego> and probably n ot for long
L236[13:22:21] <Eddi|zuHause> i'd file it under "neat idea, but probably not scaling properly"

L238[13:25:45] <LunchBot> You insert a used toilet plunger into the MPL in order to generate science points while landed on Moho. You devour the Grey Goo.
L239[13:26:55] <Althego> must be tasty
L240[13:27:13] <Eddi|zuHause> depends on WHAT the toilet plunger was used for
L241[13:30:10] <Eddi|zuHause> (but probably better not to ask)
L242[13:42:14] <sandbox> what's this? https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/power-supplies/evga-power-supply-allegedly-blows-up-22tb-of-customer-storage-revised-model-from-rma-had-a-different-pin-layout-and-killed-all-sata-powered-devices
L243[13:43:17] <Althego> just saw this from louis rossmann
L244[13:43:26] <Althego> really stupid design and process
L245[13:43:44] <Althego> and obviously those connectors should be standardized on the psu side too
L246[13:44:13] <Althego> but that they can change for the same manufacturer in the same type of psu, that is stupid
L247[13:44:28] <Althego> and then they dont even tell you, send you a replacement, and oops you burnt everything
L248[13:44:34] <Eddi|zuHause> don't these kinds of connectors have codings to avoid mis-plugging?
L249[14:01:50] <sandbox> I remember hearing about when my school had a delivery of Apple computers where the PSUs weren't set for UK voltage...
L250[14:02:50] <sandbox> I'm glad I wasn't the work experience kid that day
L251[14:12:56] <Eddi|zuHause> i blew up a thingie which had uncoded connectors when i accidentally offset it by 1 pin
L252[14:22:54] <Eddi|zuHause> as far as i could tell, it blew out a resistor or something, but nothing essential, so it was someone else's problem to fix
L253[14:25:27] <Althego> if you have seen a modular psu, they usually use the same type of plugs
L254[14:25:37] <Althego> but what the exact pinout is, that is random
L255[14:25:48] <Althego> so certainly you cant plug in its own cable wrong
L256[14:26:09] <Althego> but you can plug in a similar looking cable
L257[14:26:14] <Althego> which will be then wrong
L258[14:32:27] <Eddi|zuHause> doesn't that defeat the point of the modularity?
L259[14:33:02] <Eddi|zuHause> because you can't easily extend it later, you have to buy all cables in one go
L260[14:33:17] <Althego> the point is, you can remove the cables you dont need
L261[14:33:28] <Althego> for example i dont have any sata device anymore
L262[14:33:53] <Althego> but need 2 out of 3 pcie power cables for the video card
L263[14:34:18] <Althego> other might have a raid array with multiple sata power plugs, and no pcie power
L264[14:35:03] <Eddi|zuHause> sure, but imagine i add that SATA raid a year later...
L265[14:35:19] <Althego> and it is compeltely fine
L266[14:35:29] <Althego> because you add it to the psu with its own cables
L267[14:35:54] <Eddi|zuHause> but i can't buy new cables to go with the array, i have to dig out the original PSU box
L268[14:36:24] <Althego> but in this case the hidden evil was, the manufacturer changed the pinout in a later version of the same psu. the guy got a replacement psu, and by the instructions of evga he did not send the cables, because they do not send the cables back, just a new psu. so he gu a new psu with incompatible pinout
L269[14:37:02] <Althego> and plugged in the old cables to the new psu
L270[14:37:13] <Althego> clearly an oversight by the manufacturer
L271[14:37:25] <Althego> but they are somehow not responsible
L272[14:37:28] <Althego> at least in their minds
L273[14:37:33] <Eddi|zuHause> they never are
L274[14:38:01] <Althego> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21X5lGlDOfg
L275[14:38:04] <Eddi|zuHause> only option is to call a court, and maybe in 5 years you get a replacement for your broken gear. or maybe not
L276[14:38:05] <Althego> nice looking docking
