I think we are entering a different era.

Once upon a time shrinking nodes came with cost reductions for the same amount of compute.

With the new bleeding edge nodes, this is not so true, you can increase compute density, but the cost of new nodes is astronomical, so prices go up too.

Many improvements recently are more architectural in nature, like zen ccds to decrease costs.

The architectural improvements will continue to scale, but node improvements are slowing, we are right on the edge of what is physically possible with silicon.

The improvements in games have slowed a ton too.

Each new generation of consoles has started to reach diminishing returns for graphics. Ray tracing seems more like a technology that is being pushed to sell hardware, rather than actually improving graphics efficiently.

The next high compute case might need more creative solutions other than throwing more compute at it. Like eye tracking for VR which reduces compute demand greatly

Transporting food halfway across the world ain’t free either.

The original question was why solar systems and galaxies are in planes, and your explanation is wrong.

What do you even mean by similar orbits? Most orbits are circular for a totally different reason, and that is tidal interactions.

I hate to be that guy, but this is wrong.

The solar system is mostly in one plane because it formed from a cloud of gas. The cloud of a gas has some total non zero rotation and as the cloud collapses interactions flatten the cloud into a disk, where all of the planets formed.

This same principle applies to galaxies.

Imo your best bet is to see if you can find someone else’s used gaming computer.

Roughly ~400$ gets you pretty far for hardware 3-5 years old

The energy efficiency will be much worse, so depending on how much you use it you may want to account for that and get slightly newer.

In my personal experience look start in amd’s Am4 platform, as it’s quite upgradable up to a 5800x3d.

But to start something like a 2700x or 3700x are solid cpus.

Equivalent Intel cpus are an option too.

As for gpus look for 1000s series nvidia 1070-1080 and onwards. Less than might be too weak.

Similar for amd. Vega 56/64, 5700xt etc.

Huh the 1080ti came out 7 years ago, so I was a bit off.

I’ve only tangentially heard about this, but another issue is that doctors in the US don’t have to, and aren’t encouraged to keep up with recent research.

Combine that with a medical education system that hasn’t changed drastically in 70 years to keep up with that new research and most US doctors are just out of date.

Ehh mastodon and lemmy don’t see a ton of cross talk. Threads is mainly going to affect mastodon instances.

The actual paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11100893/

It’s still a preprint, and I didn’t see the exact figure but definitely concerning.

Honestly I’d wonder if the wear on brake pads could be cheaper than the additional strain on the battery.

You can’t slow down with regen without putting the energy somewhere, and that’s the point of brakes, they convert kinetic energy into thermal to slow you down.

The point of regen is to not waste the energy and put most of it back into a battery. At the scale of an ebikes, the additional components electronics, battery thermal management, and so on for regen are more expensive than just adding 20% more battery.

Unless you wanted to make an expensive, super efficient or very light ebike, it just doesn’t make sense at the moment.

That will not likely always be true if we ever use different battery chemistry and the cost of regen electronics goes down.

It’s not a common feature.

It doesn’t make as much sense to do on an bike, mainly because regenerative breaking requires more expensive electronics and stresses the battery more.

My family has 7 ebikes, all different models and none has regen.

100 nano seconds is 0.1 micro seconds, so not quite.

I imagine double digit is 99 ns or less

It’s still free, just under a different plan named lite https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/plan/lite/

Yeah it’s annoying and shitty, but it’s not so bad.

That gpu looks like it only has 6 pins, not 8, so it could be fine.

Damn, pretty much the only negative reviews I saw were because of epic and denuvo.

I wonder if otherwise it’s actually a decent game.

Height is generally an advantage as it usually comes with increased reach and strength.

Avoid knives at all costs, but if you can’t use your reach to protect your vital bits until you can get away.

I disagree that it’s a luxury. Many people, especially autistic people, simply cannot learn this skill and they can suffer for it greatly.

Respawn when they made titanfall was not owned by ea, simply published by them, don’t give them that much credit.

I’m pretty sure it’s google trying to get you to use chrome, as chrome behaves how you think it should.

You were the one who really showed me what it was really like over there, so now I’m back on my lemmy.world account instead.

It’s a damn shame they can’t act in accordance with their power and star trek principles.
