@Terraphice Actually, I'm pretty sure I did pick the correct house
English
@AdamBasis It doesn’t have to be. They’re doing it because it will be more efficient.
It will always be more efficient, no matter what it’s doing, to call the CPU to boost before almost ANY task.
This is how the modern CPU architecture is designed to be used. You’re a fool.
English
Yes, because my cpu, up to 67,200,000,000 boosted core-cycles per second, with 12 cores, 24 threads, 134,400,000,000 logical thread-clock slots per second, 2,150,400,000,000 theoretical FP32 FMA operations per second, 80,478,208 bytes of cache is clearly not enough. It must run at 210% overclocked to do the ginormous task of showing a rounded rectangle. It's not just any rectangle mind you, it's a WHITE rectangle.

Microsoft VP fires back at Windows 11's new speed trick critics: "Apple does this and you love it." Windows 11’s hidden Low Latency Profile is getting dragged online, but the criticism misses the point. Windows Latest has tested the Low Latency Profile, and it truly works. When you open the Start menu, a menu, or an app, Windows briefly boosts the CPU for 1–3 seconds so the task finishes faster. On budget PCs, that can make the whole OS feel much snappier. Some users called it a “band-aid,” but Microsoft's Scott Hanselman pushed back and explained that macOS and Linux already do similar things. Modern systems boost CPU speed for interactive tasks because responsiveness matters. "Let Windows cook," Microsoft's legendary dev Scott Hanselman argues in defense of Windows 11's upcoming feature. Of course, Windows 11 needs to be optimized at the code level, but the answer is not “don’t boost the CPU.” Microsoft needs to do the best of both worlds. That means it needs to optimize the code, reduce bloat, and use modern scheduling tricks to make Windows feel fast again.
English
@Terraphice I'm not being disingenuous actually, I just think that my CPU should not have to be boosted to show the start menu.
English
@AdamBasis I know you’re being disingenuous for the sake of engagement, but someone has got to call you a fool for this take.
It’s generally more efficient to run tasks at a higher clock speed for a shorter time, than do tasks more slowly. It has nothing to do with task CPU inefficiency.

@MikeSr388 @AshenOne38286 Ehh
I remember i stayed of 7 for many years until I absolutely couldn't anymore, and when I switched to 10, ads, telemetry, lag, bugs etc
English
@AdamBasis @AshenOne38286 You wrote vista wrong.
First versions of 10 were fine. The latest were the problem for all the telemetry they add
English
@AdamBasis @AshenOne38286 "second worst" when 8 and vista are right there
English
@PillCosbyDofus @neonekki What is wrong with saying that my CPU non boosted is fast enough for what is displayed?
English
@AdamBasis @neonekki Objectively, yeah.
Other modern OS's have done this for years.
English
@mousquitwo @AdamBasis RCE in Notepad is a good place to start.
English
@mousquitwo If we're talking it gets minimally better, I'd agree with that. Then how much time until it gets worse again... Imagine the sentence ”Windows 11, a truly stable, snappy and performant OS”, without bursting out laughing
English
@AdamBasis it seems like there has been a recent push at MS to address some of the longstanding core issues with windows, yes.
English
I don't know the future, but I don't need to know it. They've shown what they do already, so theres no point in believing them saying they'll improve it. So far they've done nothing except piggy back on hardware even more. Even if they were to fix it, are they going to break it again?
This isn't against the developers, I'd feel bad if someone would take this personally, the problem is the entire corp Microsoft.
English
@AdamBasis It is perfectly acceptable to criticize what has already happened, but if you start criticizing things that haven't been done yet, there is no end to it.
English
@AdamBasis It's not one or the other. This doesn't somehow magically make it impossible for microsoft to change how programs behave
English
@AshenOne38286 I'm comparing windows with windows
Windows 11 with the second worst windows, windows 10
English
@AdamBasis Not enough compared to what? What are you comparing Windows with?
English
@scweeny @mousquitwo All their products wouldn't be like this if Microsoft would be this trustworthy company we should expect something good to come out of
English
@AdamBasis @mousquitwo How would you know if they are fixing it or if that is the end of it? And if they don't take any action until it is finished, you're just going to complain again that MS is doing nothing.
English
@peterf @mousquitwo Lol I'm just trolling but you're being too nice to troll ))
English
@AdamBasis @mousquitwo No, it's boosting to the same clocks it already has been, just slightly earlier to get more benefit.
Maybe the boost profile for a CPU is 210% of idle. Most are actually more than that. But it's not an overclock unless you have a custom built PC and overclocked it yourself.
English
@gindi4711 You could load in non blocking, so that it displays but not the icons until they have loaded
English
@AdamBasis The problem that MS faces is not drawing the rectangle, but fetching the information to display because Microsoft added a million ways of customizing icons they need to read a ton of registry keys for every simple task and getting rid of it is not easy.
English
@peterf @mousquitwo I'm pretty sure it overclocks the CPU to 210%
English
@AdamBasis @mousquitwo The feature should be implemented regardless. And it's not an overclock, it's a boost within specifications.
English
@AdamBasis Dude it's way worse than that... These apps are GPU accelerated...
It's actually closer to 15-60 teraSLOPS are you disposal...
English
The feature is not the problem. The problem is that instead of fixing the issue, they are putting a band-aid over it, and then congratulating themselves, and then acting like they don't understand why everyone says this is stupid. Your CPU should not have to be boosted to show the start menu within an acceptable time...
English
@AdamBasis this is literally more efficient than not boosting. You're complaining about a feature with no downside
English
We just admitting it now? I thought we were playing the "it has to be done this dumb way because it's better and not because I don't care about it" angle
flowstate@k_flowstate
It was all about the money that got all of us into this game
English
@valigo @SebAaltonen Yeah agreed, I didn't really realize the post you quoted was about LLMs lol, I was just purely talking about typing speed
English
The typing speed is important to a certain point, but here's the thing - LLM can spit out infinite code, but it can't spit out the code that _you_ thought of, it can only spit the code that _it_ "thought" of. A good recent example is
@SebAaltonen
's tweets about driving Codex. TLDR is that you really have to babysit and clean up after it, and even though it is definitely a NET-positive, it is not "infinite typing at _your_ speed of thought", not even close. Unless, of course, your thought is very amateur.
English
"Therefore, I’ve never personally believed that developer time is expensive, that we have a “typing” problem" is pure gold.
Can this man be even more based???
The most precious time is user's. When startup time of a Microsoft app gets 200ms slower, it wastes YEARS cumulatively.
The opposite is true as well - you spend a day of dev time to save 200ms of startup time, and you save YEARS of cumulative user time.
Joran Dirk Greef@jorandirkgreef
Software is pure “thought stuff”. One person can write code and billions can run it. If anything, our linear time produces exponential value. Therefore, I’ve never personally believed that developer time is expensive, that we have a “typing” problem. Or that English is somehow a better way to express code than a language as explicit as Zig. Granted, there’s tons of (non valuable) bespoke software that LLMs can now create. But the valuable thought stuff? Great systems coders are becoming more valuable than ever. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
