The most powerful configurations in this stack are capable of up to 7 teraflops of computing power, according to AMD.

14:55 tsmeow-afk has a dvm with the knob locked up, got it open and vaselining it
15:04 katsmeow-afk there, *much* better : rule of thumb #98584848 : first time (or sooner) replacing the batetry in the XL830 dvm sold on ebay for sometimes dirt cheap, remove the pcb, don't loose the 10 parts that fall off, vaseline the two balls, the switch dents, and perimeter of the knob
15:05 katsmeow-afk i used a q-tip to apply thinly to the knob detents, but i put a .062x.062x.062 dallop on the spring under the two balls
15:06 katsmeow-afk comparing one XL830 greased vs ungreased, it's nite vs day
15:16 rue_house One of those I got was really messed up, I still have to remember to check the resistors are right

20:14 Tom_itx long as you know different don't worry about it
20:15 katsmeow-afk according to my mom, i am one person, they are many, their truth is what matters
20:15 katsmeow-afk if i cannot see what they are telling me, accusng me of, them i am even more stupid
20:17 katsmeow-afk so yeas, in a way, it does not matter what they say, because they will be right just because there are more of them

23:19 katsmeow-afk If robot-with-robot interactions could avoid or escape endlessly looping (I once got two telephone information operators to loop with each other because their training for normal calls was apparently inadequate to escape from it), humans could eventually become not only a numerical minority but a sociological minority,
23:19 katsmeow-afk remembering legends of the dominion they used to have and regaining it only if and when they can convince the robots to let them resume it, more or less as people of African descent eventually persuaded slave masters to change their ways.
23:19 katsmeow-afk In the meantime, we know that autistic people often relate better to nonhumans, perhaps because of differences in judgment or in how judgment is expressed, and yet that many autistic adults are productive members of society (e.g., professors) from whom society benefits in its human-human interactions.
