@Bob I'm about to ask a stackoverflow question about the MSVC++15 compiler crashing when trying to include some protobuf-3.0 headers in my build

clang on macos works fine

It's not easy to build all the deps on Windows but I'll be providing a download (hosted on github if they let me) with a build including all the binaries and headers

Just to save someone a headache if they want to build on what I did or compile from source for some reason

Bob

12:31 AM

@allquixotic O_O

want me to give it a shot?

where can I get said headers?

bwDraco

12:44 AM

@allquixotic, did you see the Ryzen announcement?

allquixotic

@bwDraco ya

bwDraco

Finally, we have a competitive AMD \o/

allquixotic

Intel needs the Fear of Market Share Loss as a motivator again :)

Journeyman Geek

Oh, hell yes

allquixotic

if they're afraid enough they may end the Tick Tock Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit cycle and go back to Tick Tock again

Bob

12:51 AM

@allquixotic 'cept they physically can't do the ticks every two years anymore

so it's either release a minor filler some years, or go a year without a release

they'll almost certainly stick with the former

Journeyman Geek

@allquixotic I was more thinking "cheaper enthusiast parts"

I do want to build either a new pc or storage box in a year or so ;p

Bob

did AMD announce a higher-clocked lower-core-count chip?

8c really is overkill for most things, but a fast/competitive 4c chip would be nice

Journeyman Geek

Not yet

it really feels like they just announced their 'halo' chip

> As expected, there will be several SKUs in the brand, although AMD is not releasing many details aside from the cache arrangement of the 8-core, thread chip (which we already knew was 4MB of L2 + [8+8] MB of L3 victim-cache), and that the base clock for the high-end SKU will be at least 3.4+ GHz.

sauce: anandtech.com/show/10907/…

allquixotic

1:12 AM

@JourneymanGeek yeah, but with about a decade of AMD irrelevance, none of the modern compilers or libraries are really significantly optimized for AMD CPUs

Journeyman Geek

@allquixotic >_>

The coffee hasn't sunk in yet, but I'm not entirely seeing where that's relevant ._.

allquixotic

all I'm saying is, you can build a great CPU, but you can't just waltz in at the 11th hour with a good chip and expect to win -- the real world perf will struggle if stuff isn't optimized for your CPU

Journeyman Geek

ah!

but what I was trying to say is "there's a lower end chip, but they haven't released details" ;p

allquixotic

the costs of various CPU instructions in most performance-sensitive code (like v8) is probably tuned to expect the performance profile of a modernish (Nehalem or later) Intel CPU

AMD may support the same instructions but I doubt they'll be able to mimic Intel's performance profile exactly without stealing their IP

some stuff will be faster, some slower

Journeyman Geek

Or licencing it. Say in exchange for video card IP? ;p

allquixotic

1:15 AM

and in a performance sensitive library you have to select instructions out of multiple ways of coding something

Journeyman Geek

@allquixotic eh, I'm not even thinking performance yet ;p

allquixotic

@JourneymanGeek one can dream

future Core i7-????R with an on-chip Polaris IGP and a gig of eDRAM

yes please

Journeyman Geek

lol

I do hope this is AMD's near pentium M moment

Even if they get caught less offguard by it.

bwDraco

Sorry, was AFK.

Yeah, they're still going to need quite a bit of optimization work.

It does look like they finally have a competitve solution, in terms of performance and efficiency.

3:24 AM

Woooo, the bus lanes in Cities Skylines finally work

Having being completely broken for the first six months...

At the beginning if you built a road with a bus lane, literally all traffic except busses tried to pile into the one bus lane leaving the rest of the road empty

Which was so ludicrously broken it wasn't even funny

Journeyman Geek

You say broken, I say realistic

Dog

Most people here don't drive in bus lanes, even when they're supposed to

Instead, most traffic including busses use the main non-bus lane

Bob

@JourneymanGeek welp.

a petabyte, though? methinks someone was storing porn on it and accidentally rm -rf'd a bit too much

Skyler

4:14 AM

speaking of petabytes

everybody go around and say what is the largest computer system you guys have been on (storage wise)?

if you are so inclined

Journeyman Geek

Half a petabyte

Something like 9 36 disk arrays

bwDraco

A bit of a bizarre experiment regarding my external SSD: I've been playing around with using it as swap space for my tablet (using root, of course). It works, but performance isn't great (not unexpected) and the power consumption (SoC load + USB) is very high, hence the Y-cable order.

I know disconnecting the SSD without removing it correctly (swapoff and eject) will crash the system so I'm trying to be very careful.

An experiment with how many apps I can open at once without least recently used apps closing automatically.

bwDraco

4:38 AM

Seems to choke when an app fails to suspend properly, hogging RAM (I'm looking at you, Farm Heroes Saga, continuing to play music even after switching to another app), but it's surprisingly effective (managed to put 1.3 GB into the swapfile with 20+ apps in Recents).

Alright then. Good night/$TIME_OF_DAY.

Skyler

@JourneymanGeek not bad not bad

9.7 petabytes here

excluding whatever they have on tape of course

speaking of storage guys, i have an ssd ive left alone for a few years, friend forgot to pick it up so i figured ill just reformat it. Since he broke id lent him the laptop the ssd was in I figured its fair. But so far that disk has not been able to properly install an OS on the other laptops I've tried it on

how could i test to see if the ssd is kapput

Journeyman Geek

5:24 AM

@Skyler oh, we had a giant tape ... thing

that was just 'in use' storage, and we weren't the main studio

Skyler

@JourneymanGeek what type of work was this cluster used for?\

Journeyman Geek

@Skyler lots of nfs shares, mix of centralised application storage, and video

I used to work for a fairly medium sized VFX studio

Alan Watch

how to find out no. of physical and logical cores in GPU along with its frequency?

"CPU-Z dosen't show these stats"

the whole idea of having different numbers of physical and logical "cores" (HT, etc.) is very much a CPU thing...

Journeyman Geek

in which case he's using the wrong tool?

Bob

@JourneymanGeek he's looking for the wrong information

no tool will tell him what he wants because what he wants doesn't exist

Journeyman Geek

6:04 AM

That too

Bob

and it's really a better idea to just treat a GPU as a black box anyway

Kleo Bercero

Quick question, I encountered this on a arduino sketch: // Replace [0x@@,0x@@] with your open port (e.g. 65535 = 0xFF,0xFF). How did 0xFF,0xFF become 65535, or is it 0xFF*0xFF = 65,025?

Bob

it's not consistent across manufacturers. not necessarily even across different generations from the same manufacturer

@KleoBercero 0xFF is one byte. 0xFF,0xFF probably refers to a pair (array, list, tuple, etc.) of bytes.

the thing about data is it has no intrinsic structure

if you read it as a pair of bytes (two 8-bit values), you get 0xFF, 0xFF

if you read it as a single 16-bit value, you get 0xFFFF

if you read it as a single 32-bit value, you get 0x0000FFFF or 0xFFFF0000 depending on endianness

in C, uint8_t foo[2] = { 0xFF, 0xFF }; would store the exact same data in memory that uint16_t foo = 0xFFFF; would

Kleo Bercero

Here is the line on the sketch:
Keyboard.print("[0x@@,0x@@,0x@@,0x@@],0x68,0x02,0x00,[0x@@,0x@@],0");

Bob

I don't do arduino code *shrug*

I can explain the generic concept to you, but Arduino code specifically gets a big *shrug* from me

Journeyman Geek

6:11 AM

@KleoBercero you might get a better answer from a more specialist chat or site

Bob

@JourneymanGeek well, if the question is "how might 0xFF, 0xFF be interpreted as 65535?", I've already explained... if the question is "what does this arduino code do?", that's entirely different -_-

Journeyman Geek

@Bob Also, er. my usual grumpiness about random questions.

Bob

oh, fyi, 0xFFFF unsigned is equal to 65535 in base 10. bleh.

geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Media_test

A media test, also known as a critique test, is a means by which reviewers of media works may test the relevance or utility of a film or other narrative work.

Many of the tests here are meant to critique the prevalence or bias of writers to standard tropes involving suspect classes of society, such as gender, skin color, ablement or sexual orientation.

In the case of feminist media tests, the goal is to evaluate perceived imbalances in the depiction of women and gender relations in both fiction and nonfiction creative works.

So, let's have a look at the implications of AMD's Ryzen announcement yesterday.

DavidPostill

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

bwDraco

It looks like AMD is delivering 95-110% of the performance of i7-6900K with their new 8C/16T part running at 3.4 GHz, boost disabled.

Consider that this is an engineering sample and that Lisa Su has stated that engineers are still working on optimizing it.

Coupled with small process improvements at GloFo, I suspect the chips will launch at 3.5-3.6 GHz base, with Precision Boost going up to 3.7-3.8 GHz on all cores and 3.9-4.2 GHz on one or two cores.

AMD is already hitting some very good clock speeds, and given that AMD has completely redesigned their uarch while Intel's has stagnated (zero IPC improvement going from Skylake to Kaby Lake), AMD's Zen architecture probably has more room to grow.

I think Intel will respond with a revised version of the i7-6900K (i7-6910K?) with a clock speed bump and possibly a slight drop in price. I doubt Intel will want to price it below $800, while AMD will probably be happily selling these chips at $500-600.

allquixotic

@Mokubai The desktop (or at least, the full-fat, x86, workstation or 15" size laptop) isn't going anywhere. Not until knowledge workers in businesses can do their work on an iPad or Android device. And that may never happen.

The market just isn't growing. The same companies that replace their machines every 4-5 years will continue doing so.

Companies with shareholders like to service growing markets. But there's a lot of existing revenue to be captured in the desktop space.

Some (idiots) conflate "not growing" to "dead".

Hell, it's even extremely profitable. It's just that your profits are only going to increase approximately at the same rate as the GDP.

Mokubai

@allquixotic Well, yeah. In the enterprise where you need CAD, Data mangling and complex tasks the desktop is king, but in the home market it's necessity has largely been removed.

I like my console, but for gaming that looks good and fluid and fast nothing can beat a well kitted desktop.

@ThatBrazilianGuy Hehe. I don't have a lawn. But if I did you would all be welcome on it! :)

Mokubai

@bwDraco Well yeah, in the morning before work I check the internet on phone/tablet because to fire up the PC would be an insane 500+W monster when a 3W phone does the job.

bwDraco

@Mokubai Not exactly, but an office desktop can easily use 20-50W for day-to-day use (including monitor).

Gaming PCs in a lightly loaded state can still use close to 100W (also including monitor).

Mokubai

It's still a sledgehammer to drive in a nail when a toffee-hammer would do the job.

Use the right tool for the job.

bwDraco

My gaming laptop needs about 20W idle and 40-50W with my usual peripherals attached for everyday productivity and web browsing use.

Mokubai

I have no idea what the idle draw of this thing is. Probably better than the old machine.

bwDraco

6:10 PM

My tablet, on the other hand, needs only 2-6W (occasionally more due to load) for everyday use.

Besides, you don't need a PC to even print any more. Most major printer manufacturers provide some means to print from mobile devices. I've successfully printed to HP and Epson printers from both my phone and tablet.

Mokubai

@bwDraco When the stupid printer actually decides to use the Wifi. I regularly have to reset that damn thing.

bwDraco

@Mokubai My HP Officejet Pro 8630 doesn't have any issues with wireless printing.

I routinely send print jobs to it over the network. The only time I've had to hook up a USB cable was when we moved in our new home and did not have a working home network yet (had to tether from my phone).

Mokubai

I think the few replacement routers over the last year have made it a bit... quirky.

bwDraco

@Mokubai I have a NETGEAR Nighthawk X4S (R7800). Thankfully, it doesn't seem to have this vuln (but will take any firmware update to improve security).
