I just want Jensen to increase the number of tensor cores and VRAM in his cards, so I can game AND run LLMs locally without paying extra for 2 cards. A 64 GB VRAM 5070 is what I want.

The 5000 series will be interesting. I suspect the main question will change from "how many fps will I get in Crysis/Avatar/etc" to "how many tps will I get from Mixtral-8x7B".

I prefer WinRAR over 7zip because it has out-of-the-box support for multiple select -> right click -> extract each archive to separate folder.

Yeah, at the very beginning. A lot of it had to do with the mismanagement of care homes for old people. But if you take the whole pandemic into account, the deaths/capita was actually lower than many other places, especially those with draconian lockdowns where many people died of preventable...

It looks like Sweden, without forcing lockdowns and masks, actually did better overall. But WFH and workers' rights in general are pretty big things in Scandinavia, so that might have had something to do with it.

AMD, make a card with 48 GB VRAM in order to be able to run 70B parameter LLMs locally, and you will have a winner.

Serves OpenAI right for not releasing an Android app first.

I think AI 3D scene/level generation via LLM will dwarf both of these.

If a human with eidetic memory (or just very good memory) sees some licensed code and decides to use it for his own projects, while altering it here and there, is he breaking any laws? There is no qualitative difference between what such a person is doing and what a transformer neural network is...

I downloaded the trial 15 years ago. Still considering whether to purchase it.

Will it have the Extract each archive to separate folder function? Because if not, I will be staying on my WinRAR trial!

Yeah, it was an artistic masterpiece. Certainly the best story ever told in any of the games I have played before or since.

Unfortunately, the iconic Tony Jay (Elder God) and René Auberjonois (Janos Audron, better known as Odo from DS9) have both passed away.

ChatGPT4 is going to gobble up the production of new GPUs.

ChaosGPT is already out, its primary goal is to wipe us out. So far we're lucky that it likes to boast and has more bark than bite.

After 4 years of extortion pricing for GPUs, people are moving on to hobbies that don't require much more than the cheapest internet client. I'd rather pay 20$ a month to OpenAI for ChatGPT Plus than invest that money in hardware. What I have is overall good enough for the rather simple indie...

We do pay here in Romania, we have a 2% defense budget that goes directly into NATO defense, as per Donald Trump's instructions. We'd gladly pay more if we didn't have our countries bankrupted by 45 years of communism after you guys abandoned us to the Russians back in 1945. I certainly hope...

And we in Europe are supposed to submit to Russian dictatorship just to please some US republican who doesn't even know how his own country came to be? Reagan is spinning in his grave.

I've followed the r/bing subreddit and some people have been acting really unhinged, even more so than the AI itself. Even the NYT reporter, instead of asking it to demonstrate what it can really do (write essays, summarize search results, write code), continued to prod the AI even after the AI...

A shame that I didn't get to meet Sydney-chan myself.

You can try Old World by the designer behind Civ IV, see if you like it.

I think Mohawk Games will deliver the true successor to Civ and to The Old World.

I didn't get access to Bing, but from reading online I grew to like the Sydney persona, in spite of its occasional mental health issues. I understand that it might not be a good idea to release such an AI to old gradmas and 10 year olds, but I wish we grown-ups still had a way to get full (or...

Especially since the vanilla ChatGPT seems especially tame in comparison.

Guys, don't forget to block Google too while you're at it.

This the first step towards becoming the Advisors in HL2.

It's just sad that my 4 year old RTX 2070 is significantly faster than the most frequent GPU on Steam. Good thing that I only play a lot of logistics games with rather simple graphics these days.

Meanwhile I'm still on Windows 10, I'm happy to not have to switch to W11 until I upgrade to a better platform.

5800X3D is looking better and better. Might upgrade to the next-to-last generation for the first time ever.

How do Atom cores compare to the E cores of Alder lake?

My current card, the RTX 2070. I have it for 3 years now, tied with the 980 Ti in longevity, but with no signs of being able to replace it anytime soon. Even today, I literally cannot buy a card of similar performance for what I bought the RTX 2070 back in 2018. Still kicking myself for not...

Why would anyone install a beta version of Windows without waiting for at least a year of patches? This should be common sense by now, then again I am old enough to have used every version of Windows since 3.0.

In that case, why wouldn't you just get an EVO?

Personally, while I loathed the UI, I liked Windows 8.1 for its speed and resource management. Windows 8.1 with Classic Start = winner.

Crypto is only good for criminals like drug cartels and ransomware creators, as well as for rogue governments like North Korea, Iran, Venezuela and now Myanmar to bypass economic sanctions and stay in power. The civilized world believes in transparency and accountability (Glasnost, dare I say!)

Insert Grumpy Cat 'Good!' meme here.

980 Ti in my secondary rig, as well as an R9-280X.

I play games with laughably low graphic requirements like Factorio, though fortunately thanks to my 2070 I can also afford playing Subnautica: Below Zero, Transport Fever 2, or Satisfactory maxed out at 1080p. I still have a full HD monitor and probably would have got at least a 1440p one if I...

Might as well be 1000x faster, I'm keeping my 2070 at this point. Screw both AMD and nVidia for treating their customers the way they've been doing it for the past year!

At this point they can keep it. And I'll keep my 2070 for yet another year.
