War Room Lounge Thread v179: You got this Big Dog.

[My Spot]

Yeah I don't understand. A bunch of poor people going around lately trying to pretend AMD cpus are better just because they have more cores and are cheaper when they don't realize that only matters for like encoding and if you are poor.

i9 10900K/KF/KS still the best performing CPU for gaming.

i5 10600 probably the best value gaming CPU.

20 yr old man staggering in road having abandoned his car, choking on what turned out to be a sweet. I stopped my car and ran to him, he was very very white (lips looked fucking scary). 30 seconds of Heimlich maneuver later, managed to dislodge the sweet and some of his breakfast.

I am a hero; now where's my fucking parade.

Amazing. Key to the city coming your way.

My guilty pleasure is reading Nathan Robinson's hit pieces. The one on Ben Shapiro (The Cool Kid's Philosopher)and Jordan Peterson(The Intellectual We Deserve) have been posted a few times in the WR but I think my favorite one might be the one on Steven Pinker, The World's Most Annoying Man.

You know, of course, what the most grating and infuriating human behavior is. It is not when another person is simply being unreasonable. It is when that person is constantly insisting that they are Just Being Reasonable, and wondering why you’re acting so crazy and irrational, while they themselves are in fact being extremely goddamn unreasonable. It is not when they are just wrong, but when they top it off by patronizingly explaining your own views to you, purporting to refute them, while not having the faintest understanding of what those views actually are.

Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker is that guy. He thinks many people are very unreasonable, and makes sweeping claims about their irrationality and moral imbecility, but often doesn’t bother to listen to what they actually say. While insisting for page upon page on the necessity of rationality, he irrationally caricatures and mocks ideas he hasn’t tried to understand. Then, when the people who believe those ideas become upset, he sees this as further proof of their emotion-driven thinking, and becomes even more convinced that he is right. It is a pattern displayed by many of those who are critics of “social justice” and the political left. (For an entire book about this, see The Current Affairs Rules For Life: On Social Justice and Its Critics.) Pinker, however, takes it to an extreme: Nobody has ever tried to look more Reasonable while being so ignorant and condescending.

Zen 3 is looking to top the top end Intel CPUs though, so it's not exactly hot air. I have no company affiliation, i'm all about raw performance, but I gotta give AMD credit for what they've been doing in the CPU space. GPUs ehhh...not so much.

zen3 is a step up for sure, but it should be it's going to be the newest CPU on the market.

I'm sure Intel's next generation will not be too far behind.

That kid is a self-righteous prick, and also, despite his whining, loves to frame his pinko nonsense in terms of pure reason.

Until they have a node shrink, they're going to continue getting diminishing returns from that 14nm process. That's where all of AMD's gains have been, from TSMC's 7nm die shrink. Intel's 10nm is supposed to be comparable from a performance perspective but that's mid-late 2021 at the absolute earliest. Intel is going to lose a ton of market share trying to trot out Rocket Lake while Zen 3 cruises. Nvidia releasing Ampere is going to catapult a ton of people into 4K and AMD has Intel rocked at a pivotal time.

Yeah he is. Even when the article isn't a hit piece he takes shots at people like in his articles against modern architecture where he throws jabs at the likes of Peter Eisenman and Frank Gehry. But that's part of the fun.

Holy shit.

Batman would have used some anti choking spray from his utility belt. Also i doubt Batman would have got sick all over his shoes.

Stellaris note. Hivemind on shattered ring origin. It feels as broken as everyone said, am I a bad person for enjoying it? The tech rush is soul crushing.

I've heard that's really powerful. Paradox games are all about the extremes - I really don't envy the work the designers have to do to balance all of the game mechanics. If you play long enough, you're going to play through so many shitty starts (like Egypt in HOI4) that you really owe it to yourself to go hog wild with OP strats.

It's been a couple of years since I booted up Stellaris. Once I'm bored with CK3 & BFTB I'm going to crack back into it.

More likely an amalgam of at least two of those , take your pick

Breaking:

FBI investigating threatening emails sent to Democratic voters in apparent bid to stoke election fears
Sender address was from the far-right Proud Boys, but the origin is unclear

"By suggesting the group had gained access to privileged data, and also possibly penetrated electronic systems to detect how people were voting, the emails seemed designed to create the appearance of an election breach, said cybersecurity researchers. Such a move may serve to undermine confidence in the integrity of the democratic process without posing a genuine risk to the election, these researchers said.

“You will vote for Trump on Election Day or we will come after you,” warned the emails, which by Tuesday night were said to have reached voters in as many as four states, three of them hotly contested swing states in the coming presidential election.

The domain enlisted for the misleading operation, officialproudboys.com, was recently dropped by a hosting company that uses Google Cloud services, according to Google Cloud spokesman Ted Ladd. Without a secure host, the domain stood vulnerable to exploitation, cybersecurity experts said. Voters using Comcast, Yahoo and Gmail accounts were affected."

Jesus fuck.

That said I got into it with my old roommates where one dude was going on and on about how the rental agency couldn't evict them and I had to explain, like... 6 times...


"They aren't evicting you, in February they chose to not renew your lease that ended in May.... That's not an eviction that's a 'we don't trust you to pay on time anymore' non-renewal"
