You've pretty much solved the issue already, I think. Try optical again but power the DAC with a USB C power adapter instead, to be sure? Both ways of powering the DAC should break the ground loop through the computer's USB power. If this works it means the noise is injected onto the computer's...

I'm certainly no expert on RAM timings, but aren't there settings for refresh (tREFI, maybe others?) that could need to be reduced if the frequency is reduced, to avoid too long period between refreshes? I.e. say the refresh period should be 7 µs (46200 cycles at 6600 MHz) then maybe that value...

I have, and sometimes it did. Seriously, the OP's question is reasonable. I don't know why some here is acting like he's trying to take their HDR screens away from them. :LOL: As someone who has never used a HDR screen and is usually running my SDR monitors at like 10 % brightness, I've...

For my 100 Mbit/s up/down internet connection, I'm running OPNsense on a fanless, 1-core, 1.2 GHz Via C7 board (Jetway J7F5M) :rolleyes:. It's got a single 1 GiB RAM stick and an 80 GB Intel DC SSD (S3500?). I bought the board dec 2007. :D For the WAN side it's got a 100BASE-TX 3Com PCI (not...

If you really care about the data on the drives, then don't even think about spinning them up! Call the data recovery experts instead! If you're doing this for the learning experience and getting the data back is only a bonus, then a few points: These non-helium drives are not hermetically...

I'm pretty new to this forum and before signing up here I did the same kind of scouting as Maximilian seems to have done: looked for an About page, did some online searches about the site, et cetera. Didn't find that much, but came to the conclusion the forum is somewhat of the leftovers from an...

Mine does the same thing - about once a month or so, it seems to want to re-train the RAM. Not often enough to really matter, but still annoying when it happens. How often does it happen for you? AMD Ryzen "5" 7600 ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 (UEFI version 1.28, 2023-08-01) Kingston Fury Beast...

I am seriously impressed at your ability to focus that close. :D You must be extremely near-sighted? I need like -6 diopter glasses and I still need to sit back at least 4"! ;)

What, from the Christmas Fairy? :) (We get our presents during the day today, from Santa Claus.) I very recently got a new monitor (upgraded from 24" IPS 1920x1200@60 Hz to 32" IPS 3840x2160@144 Hz VRR). I was uncertain about what format to go for as well (ultrawide or not etc), so I drew...

If it has gotten noisy it is likely that the bearing is worn. Adding oil might help for a while, or it might make things worse. And to add oil you need to take the fan apart, which might damage it even more. These things are not made to be oiled in use. You'd have to remove the fan from the...

I'm sorry to hear about your condition. I have ME/CFS myself, which includes fibromyalgia-like symptoms, has unknown root cause and no diagnostic tests. So I know very well what it's like to get that blank look from doctors who typically get very uncomfortable when they cannot lean on what they...

Also, if you want to experiment with LED light bulbs, look for high-CRI ones (CRI = Color Rendering Index). Make sure they are at least CRI 90. CRI 100 would be perfect, meaning they have the same spectral distribution as a blackbody radiator (within the visible spectrum), but such LEDs don't...

Most/many modern screens (both phones and monitors) use flicker-free backlight dimming as far as I know. Same thing with any modern fluorescent lighting fixture (using high frequency drivers). So given your description I think the problem is not flickering (although you could certainly be...

dgrdsv: yeah, but does any of them fix the issues with OLED that makes one choose IPS instead? That is, burn-in and text clarity?

On the contrary, these large-scale models will contain all the biases and double standards that were present in the training data. Isn't that obvious? Edit: So the OP is obviously correct in that the LLM has been limited in what it's allowed to output. In this case not getting the expected...
