    I tried searching "civetta scintilla" -beamng, google does what I want but I don’t think duckduckgo implements the - operator

    (the civetta scintilla is a fake car from the game beamng drive, so most results have both in them)

    I usually end up switching to google when I can’t find things for this reason

    although google does insert a “videos” section at the top of the list which does completely ignore the - operator

    lol I found someone on facebook marketplace with screenshots from the game trying to sell it as a real car https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1083690136569890/


  • Only half of a toaster (in the US at least)

    It’s a nice easy unit to compare against because all of the ones I’ve seen draw basically exactly 1000 watts

    It’s also less than double what my desktop draws (11700k, rtx 3060) and (those aren’t particularly demanding components, and I only get 16 threads) (that’s basically exactly 6x more power draw per core, although the cores themselves perform differently ofc)

    It is slightly silly to have that many cores tho. I guess the main reason to not just use a gpu would be because pcie doesn’t have enough bandwidth, or if you need a ton of RAM? For a pure compute application I don’t think there are many cases where a GPU isn’t the obvious choice when you’re going to have almost 400 threads anyways. An A100 has half the tdp and there’s no way the epyc chip can even come close in performance (even if you assume the cpu can use avx512 while the gpu can’t use it’s tensor cores, it having about a third of the memory bandwidth isn’t exactly encouraging about the level of peak compute they’re expecting)

    As much as I don’t like the Chinese government for all the censorship and etc, they do really know what they’re doing in terms of managing the economy and the infrastructure it relies on, as far as I can tell. Including their education system, it’s fairly shocking how many of the top engineering and CS colleges are in China.

    Barely anyone uses state flags, unless its hung right next to a national flag. No-one really cares about them honestly, at least where I’m from. Conservatives are more likely to use the national flag, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone with just the state flag.
