I don't know the inner workings of the company, but I'm just wondering why AMD doesn't lead with the product everyone's been waiting for - X3D.
Nvidia and Intel both start off each generation with their strongest product.
He was a great comedian but his "I don't vote" shtick really fucked this country over. Moderate, reasonable, people stayed home, thinking 'it doesn't matter', and conservative dickheads took over at the polls. 1996
Thank you for that explanation. My regex impaired ass thought he wanted to hurt generation[x|y|z].
I'm like "what'd we ever do to you?"
First benchmarks of AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU have leaked & they show big uplifts in both CPU & GPU performance with Zen 5 & RDNA 3.5 cores.
Switched from Kubuntu to Mint + KDE last week. Very happy indeed.
At least the article points out that this is a Wall Street valuation, meaning it's meaningless in reality, the company doesn't have that much money, nor is it actually worth that much. In reality, Nvidia's tangible book value (plant, equipment, brands, logos, patents, etc.) is $37,436,000,000.
$37,436,000,000 / 29,600 employees = $1,264,729.73 per employee
Which isn't bad considering the median salary at Nvidia is $266,939 (up 17% from last year).
It sounds like the processor is the real limitation. Plenty of stuff from Windows XP era and before ran in less than 512MB.
I ran it on a Ras Pi 3B+ and it did ok with 1080p and below. There were a few movies that had stuttering issues, so I'm guessing the Pi's better with some codecs than others.
It lifts pivots up.

I liked it better than the 914 & 944, I'll give it that.
I've grown to like watching Dennis Quaid onscreen. It's not that he's an especially good actor, he just gives me that 80's nostalgia vibe. The cocaine story is peak 80s.
... it should be possible to continue supporting those older cards by setting the compile time information to match your gpus.
I'll admit that's probably over my head, but still good advice. The 1080ti works fine for now, but whenever it gets dropped from support, I have a good home for it.
I have a Win7 machine so I can run my older games that don't play well in linux. Nvidia Rocket Sled Demo on a 1080ti screams.
[!](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9ed3d21c-4511-40ef-8a41-3c6c313c2d02.jpeg) So here's the way I see it; with Data Center profits being the way they are, I don't think Nvidia's going to do us any favors with GPU pricing next generation. And apparently, the new rule is Nvidia cards exist to bring AMD prices up.
So here's my plan. Starting with my current system;
OS: Linux Mint 21.2 x86_64 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics (16) @ 4.673GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Lite Hash Rate GPU: AMD ATI 0b:00.0 Cezanne GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Memory: 4646MiB / 31374MiB
I think I'm better off just buying another 3060 or maybe 4060ti/16. To be nitpicky, I can get 3 3060s for the price of 2 4060tis and get more VRAM plus wider memory bus. The 4060ti is probably better in the long run, it's just so damn expensive for what you're actually getting. The 3060 really is the working man's compute card. It needs to be on an all-time-greats list.
My limitations are that I don't have room for full-length cards (a 1080ti, at 267mm, just barely fits), also I don't want the cursed power connector. Also, I don't really want to buy used because I've lost all faith in humanity and trust in my fellow man, but I realize that's more of a "me" problem.
Plus, I'm sure that used P40s and P100s are a great value as far as VRAM goes, but how long are they going to last? I've been using GPGPU since the early days of LuxRender OpenCL and Daz Studio Iray, so I know that sinking feeling when older CUDA versions get dropped from support and my GPU becomes a paperweight. Maxwell is already deprecated, so Pascal's days are definitely numbered.
On the CPU side, I'm upgrading to whatever they announce for Ryzen 9000 and a ton of RAM. Hopefully they have some models without NPUs, I don't think I'll need them. As far as what I'm running, it's Ollama and Oobabooga, mostly models 32Gb and lower. My goal is to run Mixtral 8x22b but I'll probably have to run it at a lower quant, maybe one of the 40 or 50Gb versions.
My budget: Less than Threadripper level.
Thanks for listening to my insane ramblings. Any thoughts?
"Sir, they've given us a list of their demands, but I can't read this ... this chicken-scratch."
When I was in Korea, I leaned that chickens can (sort of) fly. They can flap their wings hard enough to get from the ground to a tree branch maybe 8 feet or so off the ground, and safely back down.
And I've heard chickens tasted better back in the old days. A bird that eats grubs, worms, grasshoppers, frogs, snakes, etc tastes different than one that just eats chickenfeed all day.
It's ok though, they have fecal transplants that can help.
How often do you hear that sentence?

Renegade Cut had a pretty good video about her. https://piped.video/watch?v=HC4K1mx0SPQ. I was mostly wrong about her. I didn't realize they became friends later. That's a pretty big arc for only one season.
Maybe we don't live in the worst possible universe. Madonna and Will Smith in the Matrix, everybody using the Hulk Hogan Grill, Stallone as Axel Foley, OJ as the Terminator. I guess I'm ok with where we are now.
Awesome. I'd heard that Pat was one of Redd's old friends from the "Chitlin' Circuit" era of comedy, but I've never actually seen him do standup.
A monopoly? How, by making better cards? When AMD or Intel makes a better card, I'll buy one.
The median salary at Nvidia is $266,939. I don't feel sorry for their workers.
Tesla driver stuck in car during software update. Warns others to avoid in-car updates and highlights the importance of knowing manual release features.
I had to take my GPU out to do some troubleshooting, so I figured why not try some games on the old Ryzen 5700G. Ray-traced Quake wasn't exactly playable at 3 fps, but I'm impressed that it could load and display correctly.
Other games I tried; Portal RTX wouldn't start at all. Spider-Man remastered did start, but I can't get past the load menu, not related to the Ryzen APU. Most of my library is 10+ years old, so pretty much everything else runs fine on the APU.
Looks like Valve is making progress towards releasing SteamOS on other platforms.

So they don't want to house homeless veterans, at least Not In My Back Yard™.

I need to host about 30 Gb of video, light traffic, but may need to upgrade in a year if things go well.
Self hosting isn't really an option. I don't want to deal with the security issues of keeping the hosted stuff separate from my home network.
I'd rather avoid AWS/Google, etc and give my money to a smaller company instead even if its a couple of bucks extra.
I'm also looking for a .family domain if anyone knows some good registrars.
It's been about 20 years since I've hosted a website, and the only thing I can remember is don't use GoDaddy.
This is an interesting demo, but it has some drawbacks I can already see:
- It's Windows only (maybe Win11 only, the documentation isn't clear)
- It only works with RTX 30 series and up
- It's closed source, so you have no idea if they're uploading your data somewhere
The concept is great, having an LLM to sort through your local files and help you find stuff, but it seems really limited.
I think you could get the same functionality(and more) by writing an API for text-gen-webui.
