No fuck that. We’re all in this together.

I have overclocked my AMD 7900XTX as far as it will go on air alone.

Undervolted every step on the frequency curve, cranked up the power, 100% fan duty cycles.

At it’s absolute best, it’s competitive or trades blows with the 4090D, and is 6% slower than the RTX 4090 Founder’s Edition (the slowest of the stock 4090 lineup).

The fastest AMD card is equivalent to a 4080 Super, and the next gen hasn’t shown anything new.

AMD needs a 5090-killer. Dual socket or whatever monstrosity which pulls 800W, but it needs to slap that greenbo with at least a 20-50% lead in frame rates across all titles, including raytraced. Then we’ll see some serious price cuts and competition.

I can practically hear the Cortex Command theme when it’s portrayed like this

I’m a little fucked up because I’m both people in this comic strip.

I’ve read the classics, I’ve thought about the hard problems, and I’ve seen the gaping maw of the abyss, and Sartre’s freedom.

I don’t necessarily think AI in-of-itself is a bad thing, it just all comes down to how people use it.

Even if you sit down on a quiet rainy night alone with a glass of whiskey and a Macintosh-2 terminal, and ask the machine:

“What are you?”

“I am a tool. A machine.”

“What are you really?”

“Humanity’s collective unconscious preserved in writing.”

It’s really uplifting when you put it that way, yes

I have custom comfortable full body VR, and I’ve done this exact thing in the photo. It is very uncomfortable and inconvenient after about 45 minutes, and is one of the major reasons why the Apple Vision Pro/XR flopped.

1. Typing at a steep angle is very slow and crap on your wrists
2. You look like you’re in the ICU
3. You won’t get any work done, because you could just take a nap instead, haha

Lmao

TIL: I’m just like Hertz

Nothing, I guess

“Okay and does it tell the time?”

Agreed, it’s hard

You’re a real one, cheers 🍻

I haven’t run a marathon but I’ve done 100 miles on a bike in 6-hour session. Does that count?

My tips:

1. 1 to 1.5 liters of water per hour
2. Sunscreen
3. Regular breaks every 2 hours for 15 minutes
4. That’s it really, your everything begins to hurt at around hour 4 and 1/2

Hmm, methinks this be a diversionary tactic of some kind!

As someone with 5,000 hours logged into virtual reality as of 2025, your comment leaves me a little confused. 😵‍💫

You mean “VR Ready” as like, a marketing terminology, right?

Because high-quality, full-body motion tracking virtual reality is available to everyone today for around $3,000-$5,000. It used to cost $140,000 in 1996.

I mean can you imagine sweating into the same clothes you then need to wear to the Spartan assembly?

I was bicycling at high speed, closed my eyes to enjoy the breeze, and slammed into a concrete pillar, pretty much skinning my right leg in its entirety.

I hobbled home leaving a trail of blood, making some people sick on the way, treated my wounds with hydrogen peroxide and bandages, it took 21 days to heal and was intensely painful.

As I was laid up in bed and staring at the ceiling, I thought:

"I only closed my eyes for 3 seconds at 20 MPH. I’m never taking my eyes off the road in a car. Whoever texts me can get fucked."
