There's a massive backlog of awesome stuff that really needs to be released so I'll be doing that within the next week or two.
Along with that there have been several small changes to the API, mostly just fields being renamed. wjs018 has been posting to this community about them as he goes, please take a look if you haven't already. We have two swagger docs available, the automatically-updated one that includes all the changes at crust.piefed.social/api/alpha/… and the old one at freamon.github.io/piefed-api/
There is a new endpoint at crust.piefed.social/api/alpha/… which will tell you which version the instance is running on. You can get the same information at crust.piefed.social/api/alpha/… but /version is lighter on the server so please use that where possible.

One of the more frustrating things to me with Lemmy is seeing the same post like seven times. I was thinking maybe there should be an option to long press the crossposts drop-down to get a context menu with the option to mark them all as read. This way they could all be hidden from the feed.
Over the past year, more than 1 million people have flocked to the central Italian town of Assisi, where Acutis’s body – covered in a wax mould of his likeness and dressed in his blue tracksuit top, jeans and trainers – is on view behind a glass-panelled case in Santa Maria Maggiore church. His heart is in a gold casket in the town’s San Rufino cathedral, while pieces of tissue from his pericardium – the membrane enclosing the heart – have toured the world in the lead-up to his canonisation.
South Korea's foreign minister is considering a trip to the U.S. to meet with the Trump administration after hundreds of South Korean nationals were arrested in Georgia this week at an electric vehicle battery plant.
"We are deeply concerned and feel a heavy sense of responsibility over the arrests of our nationals," Foreign Minister Cho Hyun said at an emergency meeting in Seoul, according to the national Yonhap News Agency.
He said South Korean President Lee Jae Myung called for all-out efforts to swiftly resolve the matter, Yonhap reported, "stressing that the rights and interests of South Korean nationals and the business operations of South Korean companies investing in the United States must not be infringed upon."
Would be really cool to hear any insider takes of locals or employees at the plant. I recoil at the recent ICE crackdowns but this does whiff of human trafficing at first glance.
Well… If a Korean auto manufacturer flew in people to the United States, who were there illegally, to work in their facility, those workers should be flown back to Korea… I don’t think the Korean government have much of an excuse to feel “tense” about this.

"Based on current [satellite] images, the area [of the slick] already measures 350 square kilometers. In my entire career, I’ve never seen such an extensive film of pollution on the sea. The film remains quite thick for this type of petroleum product. This means that the slick currently contains at least 10 metric tons of petroleum products. It’s located west of Anapa, with a small chance of some reaching the shore north of Anapa. The slick is moving toward Crimea, but for now it’s passing south of the Kerch Strait." -- Sergei Statichny, remote sensing expert at Russia’s Marine Rescue Service, according to pro-Kremlin agency TASS
It must be so confusing being a bird. You've got these long gangly aliens building inconceivably large portable and indestructible nests, and travelling insane distances - clearly the work of a superior lifeform.
And then they just dump this toxic stuff all over the place, killing all your friends. At first you must think "well, maybe this is beneficial in the longrun and the deaths were unavoidable".... but when it keeps happening and the effects get worse each time, you really begin to question their motives.
And that's why seagulls stealing food out of people's hands is based.

TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announced Sunday he will step down following growing calls from his party to take responsibility for a historic defeat in July’s parliamentary election. ……
the head of his conservative Liberal Democratic Party. Ishiba, a 68-year-old moderate centrist
Are there any Japanese people who could explain the political parties and viewpoints? Because those words don’t make sense to me in the order they are in.
Liberal Democratic Party is the name of the party, they are conservative in Japanese politics.
'liberal' in general political discourse doesn't mean 'left-wing trending towards communist' as it is used in American communication, it is simply the historical opposing view to absolutism (e.g. Absolute monarchy). Liberal thought centers around individual freedoms; modern-day conservatives advocate for permissive individual freedoms by limiting government's role in as many facets of life as possible (in theory, real parties and platforms have little to do with their marketing). Modern-day liberals advocate for positively identfying and enforcing freedoms through law. Illiberal thought is common in the west, and advocates for limiting individual freedoms for one reason or another - Germany's prohibitions against Nazi speech, and the US's restrictions on recreational drugs are examples of illiberal policies.
“Liberal” doesn’t mean “left wing trending towards communist” in American politics either; the problem in America is that the actual Nazi fascist party has spent decades grooming the population to think that the right-of-center-capitalist party are the literal authoritarian-yet-anarcho-communists plants from Satanland aka anywhere but the safe, persecution-free United States
So even when we are like “we should be more progressive and fix things!” The farthest we can get is Liberalism.
Which, by the way, may Americans who call themselves liberals would find they’re far to the left of actual American liberalism as well but shhh that’s also gotta be a lie because America and Americans BAD
Liberal and liberty have the same root — libre — freedom. There’s nothing in the word itself that is inherent about individual freedoms versus collective freedoms. Balancing the responsibilities and liberties of the individual versus the group has been in tension for as long as society has existed. Japan in particular tends to prioritize group needs over individual. You just pulled most of that shit directly from your ass.
Now to answer the actual fucking question: Japanese culture tends to prioritize stability, seniority, and lineage — as such Japan is essentially a one party democracy — and history has settled on the LDP for that. If you actually want to be in government then you need to join the LDP. For the minor interludes where a non LDP party was able to build a governing coalition, it has generally been considered a mistake by the electorate.
While on the surface the LDP governs, the LDP itself is *highly * factional. When Japanese PMs resign they’re usually pressured from within the LDP and replaced from within the LDP itself. And though the LDP are usually the leading party, they often require a coalition with other right wing parties. Those parties effectively act as cadet LDP factions.
While in the US you have only two highly monolithic parties, in Japan you have one very fractured party, and bunch of right wing partners. The LDP is right of center, but in Japanese politics it’s about as left as government gets. The Japanese themselves value stability, conformity, and the collective good. Post WW2 the US was afraid of communism in Japan and did a lot to maintain a center right establishment. In the 1970s the far left did a lot delegitimize themselves.

Science is already well perverted by trade groups hiring organizations to commission studies to start backwards from it is safe to put out flawed conclusions lobbyists get policy makers to accept as valid and allow big money their practices.
Worse though it will become the system has been fundamentally broken since before most of us were born. Pfas, atrazine, roundup, a million other poisons are dumped and used systematically with the science of these cynical researchers to wave around.
It is all getting worse already. Watersheds are near all sullied to some degree at this point, many of which are on centuries long water cycles, there is no unpoisoning many, just as water is becoming scarcer and overused more by monied interests.
Your first sentence needs work. This is what they are talking about. We get that English may not be your first language, and that's OK, but that sentence is pretty bad and isn't conveying a coherent message.
The types of errors and the commenter’s reaction to correction would suggest that this is a native speaker who missed a good deal of primary and may or may not be high.
Search any scientific paper site for "Certainly!" and hundreds pop up, where ChatGPT was clearly used. Not for translation, but for answering questions related to the paper itself.
We need to pay scientists to do peer review and reproduction studies, it's negligent for any organization to fund novel research only and not also contribute to error correction and resilience when LLMs are now available. If you can't pay for it at least release the data for reproducing the analysis. To do neither should be seen as incomplete and suspicious.

Looks like they didn't have adequate cooling for their CPU, killed it... Then replaced it without correcting the cooling. If your CPU hits 3 digits, it's not cooled properly.
It's fine, modern CPUs boost until they either hit amperage, voltage, or thermal constraints, assuming the motherboard isn't behaving badly then the upper limits for all of those are safe to be at perpetually.
If you're talking about the Steam feature you can safely turn it off, any modern hardware running mesa radv (the default AMD vulkan driver in most distros) should be sufficient to process shaders in real-time thanks to ACO.
What does it mean to "process shaders in real-time"? Wouldn't it be objectively faster to process them ahead-of-time? Even if it's only slightly faster while running the game?
I mean processing takes like a minute or so, so it's no big deal. I'm just curious for the fun of it, if I can compile it on the GPU. Not sure it's even possible.
What does it mean to "process shaders in real-time"?
Processing them as they're loaded, quickly enough that there's no noticeable frame drop. Usual LLVM based shader compilers aren't fast enough for that but ACO is specifically written to compile shaders for AMD GPUs and makes this feasible.
Pre-compilation would in theory always yield higher 1% lows yes, but it's not really worth the time hit anymore especially for games that constantly require a new cache to be built or have really long compilation times.
I think the one additional thing Steam does in that step is transcoding videos so they can be played back with Proton's codec set but using something like Proton-GE, Proton-cachyos or Proton-EM solves this too.
Disclaimer: I don't know how the deeply technical stuff of this works so this might not be exact.
Well like I said it only takes like a minute with half of my 32 threads utilized at 100 % (so all of my cores I guess?). Might as well keep doing it I suppose.
AMDs 7000 series CPUs were designed to boost until they hit 95c, then maintain those temps. 9000 series behaves differently for boosting, but the silicon can handle it.
Okay cool, then I feel more confident. This is only my second build, ever, so I'm a little bit nervous. I didn't buy any extra fans apart from the ones that came with my case. But I did get that beasty Noctua gen 2 air cooler, and it seems to be holding so far, even in the hot summer air.
Slight under volt, or upgrade cooler. 90c is too hot sustainably. Idle high 40s to 50s is not the best. Find a better air cooler or use a 240 AIO atleast.
That's not the case. 100% for new CPUs, but also for old ones too.
My father's old CPU cooler did not make good contact, got lose in one corner some how, and the system would throttle (fan at 100% making noise and PC run slow). After i fixed it, in one of my visits, CPU was working fine for years.
System throttles or even shuts down before any thermal damage occures (at least when temperatures rise normally).
Then you misunderstand the spec. That's the max operating temperature, not the thermal protection limit. It throttles at 105 so it doesn't hit the limit at 115 or whatever and shut down. I can't find a detailed spec sheet that might give an exact figure.
The chip needs to account for thermal runaway, so I'd expect it to throttle before reaching max operating temperature and then adjust so it stays within that range. So it should downclock a little around 90C or whatever, the increase as needed as it approaches 105C or whatever the max operating temp is. If it goes above that temp, it should aggressively throttle or halt, depending how how far above it went and how quickly.
I’d expect it to throttle before reaching max operating temperature
Again, you misunderstand. The max operating temperature is where Intel has stated that the CPU can safely operate for extended periods of time, including accounting for situations like thermal runaway (though ideally they engineer the chip that that doesn't happen in the first place).
If that situation does occur, the chip attempts to throttle at 105, and if that fails then it presumable halts at whatever the protection threshold is before it hits the actual damage point, as I said.
Interesting, so it only throttles at that temp? That'd a bit different than how AMD handles it IIRC, which think stops boosting around 80C or so and throttles around 90C, and the max operating temp is closer to 100C.
It's not really that different, the exact temperatures are slightly higher but most intel processors will boost up to 105C, then start throttling to maintain that 105C as a maximum, and if that's not possible they'll halt at 110C.
AMD does the same, just the temps are (for the one specific CPU I remember them for) 80-85C for starting dialing down the boost, 90C for throttling below the normal freq, and 95C for TjMax which either halts the system or just drops the power usage so low it doesn't matter - I'm not about to take a heatgun to my CPU to see what it does as it wasn't capable of hitting that on its own.
But it shouldn't be possible to break your CPU from over temperature, no matter what those temps are, because they should be capable of protecting themselves, even if that means dropping to 386 speeds when you are running them in the Death Valley with not cooler whatsoever.
I think it was when AMDs 7000 series CPUs were running at 95c and everyone freaked out that AMD came out and said that the CPUs are built to handle this load 24/7 365 for years on end.
And it’s not like this is new to Intel. Intel laptop CPUs have been doing this for a decade now.
CPUs should throttle as they approach the limit to prevent thermal runaway. As it gets closer to that limit, it should adjust the frequency in smaller increments until it arrives at that temp to keep the changes to temps small.
105c is the max operating temperature. It's not going to run away the second it hits 106.
Your CPU starts throttling at 104c so that way it almost never hits at 105c for long If it can't maintain clocks then it drops them until 104c can mostly be maintained.
When I overclock this old chip (which it was built for) it can hit over 100 with proper cooling. Some chips are hot as fuck. I think this one shuts off at 105.
Somehow I figured out Intel was shit early on. Been AMD for like 15-20 years. I think it was a combo of childhood shit computers running Intel, and a lot of advice pointing out what garbage it was and not worth the cost for PC builds.
Similar reasons I hate Hitachi and Western Digital hard drives. They always fucking fail.
I was in team AMD in the 2000s for two reasons: price and competition to Intel. Intel had a massive anti-trust loss to AMD around that time, and I wanted AMD to succeed. I stuck with them until Zen was actually competitive and stayed with them ever since because they actually had better products. Intel was the king in both performance and power efficiency until that Zen release, so I really don't know where that advice would've come from.
As for Hitachi and Western Digital, WTF? Hitachi hasn't been a thing for well over a decade since they sold their HDD business to WD, and WD is generally as reliable or better than its competition. It sounds like you were impacted by a couple failures (probably older drives?) and made a decision based on that. If you look at Backblaze stats, there's not a huge difference between manufacturers, just a few models that do way worse than the rest.
Within the realm of possibility. Especially if you treat them harshly (lots of start-stop, and low airflow and high temps). Backblaze collects and publishes data, and the AFR for Seagate is slightly higher than other manufacturers, but not what I'd consider dangerous.
Seagate has more than bad batches. When every single one of their 1tb per platter barracuda drives have high failure rates then that’s a design/long term production issue.
Ah ha ha. I had my second ryzen die yesterday in a row. No load, no overclocking, just in the middle of coding. Fack AMD and fack Intel. I'm gonna go buy a Mac Mini.
Probably a bad motherboard then. CPUs generally don't just die, unless there's some kind of excess voltage or something. If you weren't aggressively overclocking, that sounds like the mobo isn't doing a great job at controlling voltage. It could also be a bad PSU, the CPU is the last thing I'd suspect on the second failure.
Boards are different, Asus and Asrock, power supplies cheap Zalman and expensive DeepCool. It doesn't matter. It's not supposed to happen! And it has never happened before, until they started making some wild voltage controls.
Their GPU situation is weird. The gaming GPUs are good value, but I can't imagine Intel makes much money from them due to the relatively low volume yet relatively large die size compared to competitors (B580 has a die nearly the size of a 4070 despite being competing with the 4060). Plus they don't have a major foothold in the professional or compute markets.
I do hope they keep pushing in this area still, since some serious competition for NVIDIA would be great.
Sure, if by doing fine you mean looking alright in benchmarks while having zero supply because they don't make money selling them and thus don't want to produce them in any significant amount.
The problem is just the infinity fabric that connects the chiplets. Afaik this is because its clock runs at a consstant speed and its made on a way bigger node. The monolithic parts dont have that problem.
Older Intel CPUs are the only ones that can play 4K BluRays on the player itself and not just ripping to a drive. Very niche use case but that is one I can think of.
It was ok until he said the AMD chip consumed more power. It is a X3D chip that is pretty much a given, if he'd gone for a none X3D chip he'd have saved quite a bit of power especially at idle. Plus he seems to use an AMD chip like an Intel chip with little or no idea how to tweak its power usage down
for example if I want to by a new laptop right now, do I buy intel? because it has better power usage? is that only idle and/or lower usage power? what about if I just plus the laptop to power socket always (like a simple desktop), then amd is better with respect to performance per watt?
Intel has its core ultra line up which improved its power usage a lot. This isnt great for intensive workloads because there is more efficeny cores and less preformance cores but its great for general everyday use on battery.
When you're plugged in power usage no longer matters so having an Intel CPU sucks because yoy are getting less preformance for your dollar.
Also amd is more price to preformance and still has good battery life so you really do get the most value.
I get the intel lower power when not doing stuff (wish amd had high/low config for cores too) but what I mean was, in laptop cpus that are not on battery (just connected to power) does amd do more with the same power usage?
if the comparation can not be done with the same gen cpus from two companies, then maybe a similar power usage cpu from amd and one from intel (laptop of course), do they for example have similar geekbench benchmark results? (for lack of better tool)
so what I am asking is I dont care that is the same gen amd and intel laptop cpu with both connected to socket power, if amd is better. I want to know if for the same power usage (not idling but working) amd is better or not.
