  • autistic complaining about units

    ok so like I don't know if I've ever seen a more confusing use of units . at least you haven't used the p infix instead of the / in bandwith units .

    like you used both upper case and lowercase in units but like I can't say if it was intentional or not ? especially as the letter that is uppercased should be uppercased ?

    anyway

    1Mb

    is theoretically correct but you likely ment either one megabyte (1 MB) or one megibyte (MiB) rather than one megabit (1 Mb)

    ~325mb/s

    95mb/s

    and

    9mb/s

    I will presume you did not intend to write ~325 milibits per second , but ~325 megabits per seconds , though if you have used the 333 333 request count as in the segment you quoted , though to be fair op also made a mistake I think , the number they gave should be 3 exabits per second (3 Eb/s) or 380 terabytes per seconds (TB/s) , but that's because they calculated the number of requests you can make from a 1 gigabit (which is what I assume they ment by gbit) wrong , forgetting to account that a byte is 8 bits , you can only make 416 666 of 4 kB (sorry I'm not checking what would happen if they ment kibibytes sorry I underestimated how demanding this would be but I'm to deep in it now so I'm gonna take that cop-out) requests a second , giving 380 terabits per second (380 Tb/s) or 3.04 terabytes per second (3.04 TB/s) , assuming the entire packet is exactly 114 megabytes (114 MB) which is about 108.7 megibytes (108.7 MiB) . so anyway

    packet size theoretical bandwidth
    1 Mb 416.7 Gb/s 52.1 GB/s
    1 MB 3.3 Tb/s 416.7 GB/s
    1 MiB 3.3 Tb/s 416.7 GB/s
    300 kb 125.0 Gb/s 15.6 GB/s
    300 kB 1000.0 Gb/s 125.0 GB/s
    300 kiB 1000.0 Gb/s 125.0 GB/s
    30 kb 12.5 Gb/s 1.6 GB/s
    30 kB 100.0 Gb/s 12.5 GB/s
    30 kiB 100.0 Gb/s 12.5 GB/s

    hope that table is ok and all cause im in a rush yeah bye

  • [factorio] First time creating a timelapse, not perfectly happy but meh
  • most of the video was centred on the player

    it wasn't ?? haha , the movement in the beginning is there because I didn't bother trimming the movement of the camera :P

  • What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?
  • I once deleted /usr/bin while trying to delete /bin (symbolic link) because I accidentally misformed it . don't remember why I had to recreate /bin in the first place but it had something to do with installing java

  • I have set myself on fire outside the Trump Trial (removed from "world" news because apparently a call towards the global population was too US-centric)
  • literary , I shit you not , this is one of the "proofs" he uses that this global conspiracy exists :

    Bart from the Simpsons standing infront a  newspaper with a 9$ price printed in large characters with two large towers in the background , kinda looking like ab 11 with a headline saying New York

  • The other big breakthrough came when I was posting these essays on Reddit, which is owned by many of the financiers of the crypto super-Ponzi. Over and over again, I received the same types of comments that would attack my credibility without engaging with any of the evidence I was surfacing. They were practicing fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

    LMAO they are doing the same think cryptobros do

  • One of the key findings of this research is that Harvard University is one of the largest organized crime fronts in history, which is how they churn out billionaires โ€“ itโ€™s a major hub of this sprawling criminal network.

    As it turns out, dozens of the writers of The Simpsons went to Harvard. So I asked myself the question: If The Simpsons served the interests of organized crime, how would it do so?

    Well, it offers a dysfunctional family suffering from moral decay, a community incapable of solving its problems, a worker drone who slaves away for an evil billionaire, and cathartic laughs for our poor collective circumstances.

    this is so unhinged LMAO its not even attached to the doorframe

  • How do people with aphantasia play chess?
  • As someone who has aphatasia , I must say there is a difference . I feel like I have a better than average (at least for my ELO which is ~600) intuition but worse board awareness . I also can't easily search into the game tree , though that may also be due to lack of training .

  • Vanguard on Linux
  • Not the video you talked about , but I felt like its related to your last paragraph : How League of Legends Uses Abuse to Keep You Playing | That Jess . While she focuses more on other pieces of moderation than anticheat , she shows how LoLs developers are incentivized to not give a fuck and that they do , in fact , not give a fuck .

    You might also find The CS2 Cheater Problem Has Gotten Goofy | TheWarOwl , which talks about Valve's failures to provide integrity , even despite , though he also says its a symptom of these failures , third party anticheat systems .

    I'll also add that AI anticheat is not a silver bullet , it also requires upkeep which can be more expensive than classical anticheat systems .

  • no thanks, crystal mami
  • I cannot read this as girls into crystals / girls into geology but my brain always interprets it as in girls who are (made of) crystal / girls who are (made of) geology

  • canYouTakeALookAtThisDateTimeBug
  • And set the date format to YYYY.MM.DD for the entire world. Americans and Europeans can stop arguing.

    this made me uncontrollably angry , its YYYY-MM-DD not YYYY.MM.DD

  • pretty sure that there are actually people who do believe the earth is flat

    but yeah AFAIK the model that most flat earthers use does not allow for either lunar nor solar eclipses , requiring a fourth object to cause the effect

  • True Story
  • honestly I use .hh/.cc which is quite nice IMO . you can also use .hpp/.cpp but I don't like it personally

  • True Story
  • reminder that .H can be used as a c++ header extension , along with .C for source files

  • Lemmy, what's your internet speed in mbps?
  • yeah but using mb/mB instead of M(i)b/M(i)B is a factor of 1 000 000 / 1 024 000 which is more than six magnitudes greater than 8

  • Lemmy, what's your internet speed in mbps?
  • ah , for context I'm Lily

  • Lemmy, what's your internet speed in mbps?
  • I mean we are throwing accuracy out the window by using milli anyway so who the hell cares , at this point I'm afraid people are using "m" to mean JEDEC mega , ie per IEC mebi ("Mi") , not even mentioning how stupid using the "p" infix looks when surrounded by SI or SI adjacent units

  • Lemmy, what's your internet speed in mbps?
  • autistic complaining about improper use of SI and SI adjacent units , going into a bit of self parody at the end

    please fucking capitalise units properly , the most valid interpretation of "mbps" is millibit picosecond which is invalid anyway (should be femtobit second or fb s) and also not a unit of any kind of speed , not that you are asking about speed but likely bandwidth , but also in this specific case , ignoring that you use this stupid per construct , leaving it to interpretation which letter is meant to be capitalised and which lower case leaves megabits per second (Mb s^(-1)) and megabytes per second (MB s^(-1)) (of course milibits per second and milibytes per second are also units of bandwidth) , and also because bits and bytes are involved , are you using the mega- prefix per SI or , I would argue incorrectly , per JEDEC (as in 1 KB = 1024 B ) , I don't know because you have shown a complete disregard for units and all they represent , for everyone who takes the time to understand , learn and properly use prefixes to convey a specific meaning , in a way that cannot be misinterpreted . You may not think this is important because "oh Lily you understood me anyway" and ? you have shown a complete disregard for all that anyone with a computer science degree should stand for , shown no intention to properly understand how the more and more computerised would around us works and for what ? so that your fingers can use a few less calories , putting of the heat death of the universe by an unimaginably irrelevant amount , which you will unknowingly spend anyway when you hear a bird sing across the road , is that really worth it to you ?

  • Looking for the article showing the xinjiang re-education camp photo (see image) is from a 2017 meeting of reformed drug addicts.

    I've learned of this claim on friday everyday (yt), here. I've done some searching, both on their website and the wider internet, but I cant seem to find it. Has anyone of y'all seen it and can give a link? This explanation does seem to make sense, but I would prefer to see the article, especially any sources given by Nury.
