    The lower point of Fahrenheight is near the freezing point of brine (salt water) which freezes at -6 F (-21 C).

    It was designed around what the coldest day at the time of its invention could get and the 100F was marked around how hot the hottest day of the year at the timr would get. Hence its choice to scale 0-100 to local weather vs celcius’ choice to use kelvin and offset it to standardize it to pure water.



  • How I see it, its more that if you use multi CCD cpus, you have to manage the CPU manually as some games prefer cache, some games prefer clockspeed, and the OS picks the wrong one at times (usually the clock speed) as the OS assumes the higher clock speed = faster. As the thread director works correctly with Intel chips for the most part (where the e cores have a lower clock) so the e cores are often not selected for performance.

    The solution AMD will have to transition to is to exchange the other CCD for the core count focused design (e.g Zen 4 vs Zen 4c) which would be clocked lower to receive similar benefits from the current itteration of thread director.


  • Its less about immedoate profit and more about pumping up gamepass numbers under one umbrella for investors to see a large number increase. Its part of the reason why Xbox Live Gold has been rebranded into Gamepass Core. Microsoft supposedly is under their sub projection (despite having about 40M subs) and trying to pump the numbers as much as possible.

    Overwatch makes no sense given its a feee game. Unless your implying gamepass pays for the battlepass, as the game moving to gamepass would be a detriment on console as it does not require gamepass core to play (as its free)

    Its not neccesarily obsessive, its just those happened to be communiies commoted tonleaving the other site, ao it visually appears to be the mainstream thought.

    Linux is one of the larger communties who made the jump (in general tech people are more prone to caring about privacy and control, as tech communities in general are some of the largest here on lemmy)

    Heck one of the largest communities is piracy discussion.




  • AMD supports ML, its just a lot of smaller projects are made with CUDA backends, and dont have developers there to switch from CUDA to OpenCL or similar.

    Some of the major ML libraries that used to built around CUDA like Tensorflow has already made non CUDA branches, but thats only because tensorflow is open source, ubiquitous in the scene and litterally has google behind it.

    ML for more niche uses basically is in the chicken and egg situation. People wont use other gpus for ML because theres no dev working on non CUDA backends. No ones working on non CUDA backends because the devs end up buying Nvidia, which is basically what Nvidia wants.

    There are a bunch of followers but a lack in of leaders to move the direction in a more open compute environment.
