  • He did say that.

    Do you believe he suddenly changed his mind on an opinion he held and shouted to the world, 2 days after it became apparent he might lose his job over it?

    If someone committed fraud, then went to court and said “your honour, I actually agree with you. Fraud is wrong. I came to that conclusion this morning.” would you believe them?

    Quote what exactly I said that was either of those things.

    It’s what all of your comments have been about. Don’t play dumb.







  • I know people meme about “Zen 5%” (sidenote: genuinely a clever quip), but most of that is down to AMD massively reducing the power draw of the chips.

    If you set it to the same power limits as Zen4, you can get large performance improvements.

    Gamers have been saying for years that stuff is getting too power-hungry, but when steps were made to reverse this, they collectively lost their minds.

    Seriously, what are they expecting, a 25% improvement in performance at half the power draw, while staying on a 5nm-family node?

    AMD were dumb for thinking gamers give even the slightest fuck about power usage. Gamers would much more readily accept a CPU going from 120W to 500W if it meant an imaginary +20% perf uplift over a CPU going from 120W to 70W with a +5% perf uplift. I say imaginary because nobody with a high end CPU and a 4090 actually plays their games at 1080p low.

    I’m so fucking sick of this discussion.

    If your income is in the form of dividends, stock selling, or collecting rent money, you’re not a worker.

    If you work as an employee for a company, and are also a landlord on the side, then yes you are a worker. But you are a worker because of the working for a company part, not the landlord part.

    End of discussion.

    Now let’s look at a paragraph from this dog shit article, breaking it up into points…

    I know investment bankers and corporate lawyers who work far more hours and under much greater pressure than me.

    And? Nobody ever said investment bankers or lawyers weren’t workers. They work for companies and are paid.

    They have no inherited income, come from ordinary backgrounds and their wealth is entirely down to their salary.

    Ok? What does this have to do with assessing whether someone is a worker or not?

    But that salary is simply too large for them to count as working people.

    When did the government or anybody ever say that anyone with a decent salary isn’t a worker?

    In any case, I’ve watched several episodes of Industry, and they are patently the wrong type of working people. And what’s more, they are having way too much sex, although Starmer has not quantified how much coupling working people are allowed.

    I don’t even know what to say about this. Are they unrelatedly complaining about sex in a TV programme, or do they genuinely think Labour’s view on who counts as a worker comes down to how often that person has sex and how many people they have sex with?

    It’s honestly embarrassing that FT even published this. Under a fucking £39 per month paywall too.
