common sense hasn't been completely eradicated, thank god.

saw a video recently of toyota i think that were making a better yoke, where it used steer by wire and variable ratio steering, so that at low speeds you have a much shorter ratio (so you dont need to do ^ that during turns) and a high ratio at higher speeds, but i kinda prefer for there to be a shaft directly connecting my steering device to the wheels, and the prototype had lag

considering the quality of scripts these days, That whole "Writer's market" is in need of a serious wake up call. Though AI would probably still make even worse scripts though hard to imagine.

Likely max oc if true, still i have my doubts this time around there have been too many leaks with massively different performance targets. Its a mess.

The soap opera effect is usually associated with using interpolation in videos / movies which can make some some movement more fluid and better but because it doesn't have any other data other than the frames it smooths things that should be more abrupt making it look off. if you want to play around with it there's this program that allows you to do it on vlc https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/SVP:VLC a similar effect happens in movies recorded at a higher frame rate if the camera movements don't account for this change ( at least for me faster smooth pans is what gets me (think its because the eye doesn't do those movements instead it jumps around) while the slower ones are much better with the higher fps). because in games you control the camera usually these things aren't a problem.

i took it as something like "the leap quantum computers did vs normal computers", although even then we still have no usable quantum computers so...

did they? most of their products on 7nm are near or at EOL so i wouldn't call a reduction in wafers a overestimation of demand unless i knew they were planning to cut it less which we dont know. and every article i see around this issue shares my sentiment of it not being a reactionary event but a planned one. Just to be clear i still agree that no one can predict everything. from extremetech.com

so just for 7nm/ 6, totally normal end of life changes as you said not the same at all.

only saw nvidia reports of lowering allocation

no card below 900 dollars, to help sell the 3000 series cards no doubt.

not exactly sure, but nvidia was doing all their scheduling on the cpu side which likely has some limitations which could lead to more pipeline stalls than if the scheduler was in the gpu itself

4GB has been not nearly enough since the rx480 launched, as i have both models and the 4GB was always more prone to performance issues, that said, we can't ignore that its launching in a market that is anything but normal, where cards with over 5GB jump in price due to mining, and even non mining cards are hard to get due to shortages, amd had another die that is very cheap to make, with low board costs, so they made it, which imo is a big plus, this card is literally 1 gpu two memory chips, as simple as it gets, for those that dont have a gpu its a good option. For us rx 480 owners we for better market next gen. But really i see the low/mid end dying, with silicon cost/transistor stagnating, and inflation on a everest climb, it really seems like our hobby is permanently more expensive, at least until something drastic changes it, like complete euv allowing less processing steps, idk. Ps: for these lower end cards reviewers really need to have different standards, as for example i have never once used Ultra graphics with my rx 480, why would i i am loosing performance for no benefit, high and even medium in newer tittles looks great. and for those saying "oh just buy used X card", most of those cards are 3+years old getting close to the point where they start to drop dead, so its quite the gamble to buy.

does it matter though? i never cared if my car even knew what date it was.

pretty sure when he said those "disadvantages" he meant that those would negatively affect perf/w, making the efficiency improvements less impressive.

guess my upgrade zen + to zen 3 is back in business, with some luck maybe even zen 3 3d.
