Bummer. It’d be cool if there was customization available on how exactly the sorting parameters work. I imagine, for example, if the weighting for a user’s own sorting could be adjusted at their end, you could get Scaled (or something like it) to get you what you’re after. Probably a pretty niche thing compared to just making sure most users are happy with the sorting most of the time though.
Have you tried “Scaled” sorting? It was added to lemmy a couple (?) months ago and tries to solve the problem you’ve described of big communities drowning out the smaller ones in a subscription feed.
Cool idea, though I was surprised by the level of fidelity loss in the fountain example. I would’ve expected that to be a good case scenario for noise cancellation so maybe it just needs some more time to iterate and improve on its level of “false positive” removal.
Excluding Piledriver (?) to Zen, wouldn’t 30% be the highest inter-generational IPC increase in Intel/AMD CPUs in at least 15 years? The article’s original title also included quotes around “ABSURD”, as the term is being re-used from the source’s clickbait YouTube title lol.

This one worked for me, useful if wanting to share the story elsewhere:
This review brings up an interesting point, where they measured that at same-dB the fan sounds better because it has greatly reduced high-frequency noise (the second half of the review focuses a lot on this). I’d be interested in a [quantitative] comparison using something like sone.
Edit: NON-normalized spectrum analysis in Audacity (non-linear) and Spek (linear) using the +20dB audio clips: https://files.catbox.moe/h0hlvk.webp
Same thing but RMS normalized to -20dB: https://files.catbox.moe/38ugao.webp
These (particularly the normalized one) make it seem like the difference isn’t high frequency response (if anything the Metal has more lol), but instead reduced tonality.
It isn’t new, and framing it as though it were seems rather disingenuous.
