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?"

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.

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.

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.

Probably better to ask on !localllama@sh.itjust.works. Ollama should be able to give you a decent LLM, and RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) will let it reference your dataset.

The only issue is that you asked for a smart model, which usually means a larger one, plus the RAG portion consumes even more memory, which may be more than a typical laptop can handle. Smaller models have a higher tendency to hallucinate - produce incorrect answers.

Short answer - yes, you can do it. It's just a matter of how much RAM you have available and how long you're willing to wait for an answer.

One thing I love about usenet is that it's great if you're just looking for one episode, song, etc and don't want to download a whole collection.

Why replace torrents? Why not use both? It's a bonus if your usenet provider includes a VPN.

 

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.
