Exactly. Adding bad examples makes it seem like you couldn’t get 10 good ones which is obviously not true.

Pretty weak 10. Pick one or two and make a compelling article, I’m already trying to quit. We don’t have to make up stuff like “JFC nuclear power!?”

I’d give you $20 for it ;)

People are looking for “king sized sheets” of “paper towel holder” not gtx4070ti super from gigabyte or esp32 chipset bullshit is how. Most people are getting basic shit, not trying to get around Newegg or a PC parts supplier.

That’s not a real sharp take tbf.

First sentence of each paragraph: correct.

Basically all the rest is bunk besides the fact that you can’t count on always getting reliable information. Right answers (especially for something that is technical but non-verifiable), wrong reasons.

There are “stochastic language models” I suppose (e.g., click the middle suggestion from your phone after typing the first word to create a message), but something like chatgpt or perplexity or deepseek are not that, beyond using tokenization / word2vect-like setups to make human readable text. These are a lot more like “don’t trust everything you read on Wikipedia” than a randomized acid drop response.

Flipping off*. You can flick off boogers, but you flip the bird.

This is me too. I have two of them bought and paid for and people just don’t get it: I went all in on this and you can just sell for 15% of purchase price, I still have mobility needs. More to the point my swasticar still has access to the best charging network on the market and even if I COULD just sell, it’s not cut and dry. It’s easy to shit on Tesla, but it’s still the best offering in the EV market for long range driving. And even if it was not, like fuck me I can’t time travel. Most people who flame have no idea what the actual hell they are talking about.

You can fellate Winnie the Pooh on your own time. It comes with its own whole set of problems.

Edit: Come at me tankies. You’re morons for giving a single dollar to the CCP.

Is that rap slang if you’re referring to a lady? 😬🫣

Putting the gin in Nginx.

N-jinks is silly, f-stab is cool.

Does this mean when you go into an airport bathroom and see the hand dryer, you know it’s called an XLerator (ex-LAIReighter)?

That is an extremely apt parallel!

(I’m stealing it)

I know we suck! I’m sorry! I want to come too :(

Uh, yeah?

If your weiner can’t behave when you are AFK it should be in jail!

Probably not going to get in the 5000 series just because I can’t go without for a month, but your point is well taken. It seems like though I have stuff to learn about cooling for RAM (and ram clock speed), CPU cooling, and motherboard features.

I can remember a time you could just buy it all and put it together and it would work, now the PSU may not be right, the CPU and mobo might not play, and physical space and fans are kind of wild West.

I’m apprehensive I guess to just start buying stuff and end up with no working PC for 3 weeks or a month

Solid advice. Saving this comment. Yeah I have 32G ram now and was thinking 64, so 2 sticks. I also think I’m going to roll Nvidia in the 4000 series as high as I can get without going over about 2k.

Still gotta resolve processor… I’m thinking AMD Ryzen but not sure how to pick which one. After that it’s just mobo and making sure I’ve got enough name/m.2 slots I guess?

Mostly pytorch and honestly mostly CPU limited in my experience (small networks with frequent database access). I feel like I’m throwing people off the conversation by having mentioned it. GPU training is a nice to have, but maybe not necessary the more I think about it. I have a cluster at work if I really need that functionality unless I’m doing it for personal projects.

Rock on. My last 2 have been Corsair and I had a lian li before that taking me back to about 2006 😬. Basically I’m hanging this case under a standing desk, so it makes no sense to make it visually interesting.
