This outlines several issues, a key one is outbidding apple for wafer alloc on leading processes. They primarily sell such high margin products that I suppose they can go full send on huge dies with no sweat. Similarly, the 4090's asking price was likely directly related to it's production cost. A chunky boy with a huge l2$.
I like the way Mike Clark frames challenges in semi eng as a balancing act between area, power, freq and performance (IPC); like a chip that's twice as fast but twice the size of its predecessor is not considered progress.
I wish ultra-efficient giga dies were more feasible but it's kind of rough when TSMC has been unmatched for so long. I gather Intel's diverting focus in 18A, and I hope that turns our well for them.
I'm not sure that arm as an ISA (or even RISC) is inherently more efficient than CISC today, particularly when we look at Qualcomm's latest l efforts at notebooks, more that Apple have extremely proficient designers and benefit significantly from vertical integration.
Conversly, the apple silicon products ship huge, expensive dies fabbed on leading TSMC processes which sip power relative to contemporaries. You can have excellent power efficiency on a large die at a specific frequency range, moreso than a smaller die clocked more aggressively.
my charger is fine, but could you pet the cat for me? 🥺
I think the second one. Assuming the middle bit is a nose, fewer details make for better deadpan toaster expression
Good to know, that's not the one I had in mind, however.
For whatever reason I thought PMOS was based on Manjaro. Could be something as silly as associating one green logo with another.
As much as I want that to be the case, I don't think full mobile gnu+Linux is really ready to use daily?
I haven't exactly been keeping up with things, mind you
Could halo be helped if it was split between the bungie and the bad ones?
RDNA 2 has been plenty competitive. NV22 has done well, 32 has sold exceptionally well, particularly in CN, which heavily leans towards Nvidia GFX.
It's been harder to find the same sort of value proposition as the RX480, 580 and GTX 1060.
Then I guess people have short memories. (Polaris, Vega, Navi1X).
Polaris remains one of the most popular AMD dGPUs to this day.
ATI have had better products than their competition in the past, and yet marketshare barely budged.
It's funny is how gorgeous the endgame content looks. Sure it plays out very much in the same way, but it's kinda crazy how hard they go in visuals on parts of the game that very few players can reach. I'm not opposed to this in principle, mind you.
But yeah the raids and dungeons didn't really grip me in the end. Pretty as they are, there's a lot of arbitrary systems at play which kill my engagement.
Yup. The gaming industry got lucrative enough for the bean counters to swoop in and bastardise.
And they didn't retroactively unlock impacted gear. I had a couple god rolled blast furnaces relgated to casual PvP despite the absurd amount of time I had to put into that bullshit forge activity.
Anyone else notice the extent of bungies creativity as far as destiny is concerned:
- Stand on plates
- Shoot targets
- 3 damage phases
- Juggle balls
Would it almost be equivalent to snap on Android?
I've heard very little about it. Is there some controversy around it?
Something along the lines of hiring an expert on gambling. There's a lot of game mechanics in games like Destiny 2 which lock you in through little feedback loops.

It's a good looking game with decent movement and gunplay, but it fully disrespects your time. RIP if you ended up buying the game in 2017 with the first few expansions because that shit gone now.
E: fixed in 0.0.75 - thank you MV :)
Hey there,
I was wondering if anybody else was experiencing this behavior where the swipe to navigate back gesture would register twice within the app, taking you back two steps instead of just one.
I'm not sure exactly when this behaviour was introduced, though it persists with today's .72 alpha release. I was to say it came about in the .6X timeframe.
I've not found this reported on the github, though I just wanted to check that this isn't a system specific issue before submitting. #1399 may be relevant as it refers to swipe input sensitivity but I think that's more of a gesture threshold matter than input registering twice in the app.
My app settings are attached in a photo:
and I have a short clip:

Steps to reproduce:
- Using the provided gesture settings in Jerboa
- From the home feed, tap into a community name
- From the community view, tap into a community post
- Swipe left to navigate back to the community view
- Observe two steps back in response to a single input

You might semi supinate your deadlift grip (one hand over, one under) for comfort & endurance at heavier weights. I believe some competitions even mandate this for safety reasons.
Those of you who semi grip, do you ever alternate? If so, have you identified any benefits in doing so?
A friend brought this up with me a couple months ago. It was a reasonable ask, and yet I've never thought to switch hands. I try to only use a semi grip when necessary (heavier sets, fewer reps).
I've recently started experimenting with switching it around for a few higher volume sets. Is there any benefit from switching long term, or session to session?

Welcome to my shitty, dusty garage gym.
Practically all of my kit is from Mirafit and Fitness Superstore (UK). Primarily focused on weightlifting & bodybuilding.
Power rack:
Mirafit M100 Half Power Rack with Cable System.
It's served me well over the last three years but I'm honestly surprised it hasn't fallen apart. It's no longer up for sale through Mirafit or third party retailers, and I can see why. Mirafit use OEM designs and stick their name on it. If you see a half power rack like mine, maybe stay away from it:
The M100 half rack has a lower weight capacity (200KG) than the full M100 (250KG) due to its design. You'll observe a concerning sway with three or more plates a side. It has miraculously survived 180 KG back squats and rack pulls though it's definitely not something I could wholeheartedly endorse as a power rack alone. I went for a half rack at the time due to spatial constraints i.e. not having to delicately manoeuvrer a barbell in the confined garage space I have available.
It did come with some bells and whistles, notably the plate-loaded cable / pulley system (with a couple attachments) and incline bench. Power racks with integrated cable systems can be exceptionally versatile provided you have the gear to supplement them:
- Lying ham curl with a chain, ankle straps and an incline bench:
- Seated leg extension with a chain, ankle straps and squat box:
- Cable pull-down if you have a crossbar to keep you in place:
Made some minor alterations to the rack:
- Cut away some metal on the lower pulley housing preventing the lower cable from moving freely
- Cut the wide bar cable attachment to actually fit within the confines of the rack (it was actually too wide before?!)
- Picked up some after-market J-hooks to supplement the included barbell holders
- Plate storage system (though it's in-line with the barbell(?!); if you don't walk the bar back enough, you'll hit it when you squat):
I've gotten a tremendous amount of utility of this package as a whole, though it's let down by the overall flimsiness of the rack. If anyone could recommend a newer, sturdier half rack + cable system, I'd love to hear about it. Mirafit's newer half-rack designs (or whichever OEM they use) are much better, but tend to lack the pulley system option.
Incline Bench:
Mirafit M150
Decent enough incline bench with a small footprint. Has a total weight total capacity of 260KG and is fairly affordable on its own. The design of this bench makes it somewhat unsuitable for barbell hip thrust from the side, as it has only three 'feet', but generally feels stable for most other exercises.
Barbell:
Mirafit M3 7ft 20kg Olympic Barbell (28mm diameter, fine knurl, sprung steel) Lovely bar, no complaints. Generally chalk up for deadlift but it's a pleasure to use either way.
Bodypower 7ft 20kg Olympic Barbell (30mm diameter, coarse knurl) Was a decent bar with a very coarse knurl. Would shred you up but it did its job. I've since handed this over to my cousin.
350KG in plates, bunch of quick release collars
Flooring: ARK Solid Black Rubber Mat CK (With Hidden Handles) X 4 (12mm thick) This was an afterthought and I deeply regret not having them to begin with. Please ensure you have appropriate flooring for your weights area.
Other stuff:
- Olympic dubmmell handles
- Mirafit Squat box
- Spinlock and fixed dumbell pairs
- fuck knows how much in standard (1" diam) plates
- Dumbbell & barbell storage / stands
- Additional cable attachments (handles, bars, ropes)
- Chain belt for dips and chin ups
- Some old speakers in the corner
I feel like I'm mostly covered but have made some substitutions. I do more working sets of squat in lieu of a plate-loaded leg press and a few exercises to cover the lack of a hack squat machine, but I haven't been back to a commercial gym since.
Hey there,
I wanted to recreate something like Reddit's /r/homegym community over here on Lemmy.
It became one of my favourite spots during the lockdown. Despite the price gouging and supply issues, it was amazing to see people's creativity when it came to fitness at home:
- We learned effective bodyweight exercises to keep us strong after the gyms shut down (like piston squat, nordic ham curl)
- We built power racks out of whatever we had, capable of holding a good couple hundred KGs on a barbell (some excellent woodwork in general)
- We improvised equipment and exercises with every day objects (a bunch of jerry cans and rebar for extra tricky front squat)
- We got to understand how much you could get done in a modest space with just the essentials
A decent home gym can be surprisingly attainable today, particularly with people shifting their own kit now that commercial gyms have reopened.
Let's see what you're working with.
