I'm sure it'll be fine. As long as you have the latest 90-class card you'll probably continue have nearly full functionality from the HF libraries. (Upgrade to enterprise gear for full functionality)

I gave up on heavily customizing the UI after a couple of top variants (where I would lose said customizations for a variety of reasons) over the years so I run a fairly vanilla config: I like both the look and the information density of bt

Not necessarily as even the factory produced optical discs have had issues with de-lamination, oxidation etc. Of course a lot of that had to do with companies cheaping out on manufacturing in order to make that last tenth of a cent of prof

Not possible given the anemic memory bandwidth [1]... you can scale up the compute all you want but if the memory doesn't scale up as well you're not going to see anywhere near those numbers. [1] The memory bandwidth is fine for C

When I bought a PS 1 around 1998-99 I paid $150 and I think that included a game or two. It's the later in the lifecycle price that has really changed (didn't the last iteration of it get down to either $99 or $49?)

By the time that could feasibly come to fruition, I suspect the AI bubble will have long since popped. Despite making decent GPUs for graphics, AMD can't seem to get its act together on the GPU compute front.

Try to use AMD GPU's for AI and you'll understand. Unless you have lots of your own engineers to throw at making their stuff work, it's easier for most companies just to keep throwing money nVidia's way.

There are very few recently launched pure open source projects these days (most are at least running donation-ware models or funded by corporate backers), none in the AI space that I'm aware of.

Take a closer look at the history of how they've been running things pretty much since the beginning. Even though they give away a lot of code under open source licenses (most of it they have to), to me it's always looked like th

I didn't down vote but I'll take a shot: A valid reason to consider the question is to determine to what degree the model was steered or filtered during training. This goes to can you trust its output beyond the obvious other li

I don't think your take is incorrect. I give it a try from time to time and it's always been inferior to other offerings for me every time I've tested it. Which I find a bit strange as NotebookLM (until recently) had been g

Having watched some of his streams on the topic, I think you've captured it well. He's basically saying he's done wasting time on AMD unless/until they get serious. It's not so much that he wants free hardware fro

It was implied by the phrase 'transformed the ways everyone used computers'. True, to younger computer users MacWrite would be the most familiar of the three. However, in terms of total unit sales and percentage of users for the

Maybe you've had a different experience with GPU drivers on ARM for Linux than most of the rest of us? (i.e. it's the fact that nVidia actually has Linux support on ARM that is the real appeal)

I tend to agree. Pat seemed to be trying to take a middle ground approach: split the company in two, but not really giving up hope that Intel would regain x86 leadership and that somehow things were still going to be OK on that front. The

What's your rush, sonny? You say 'not anytime soon' but then you say 'next 10 years'. In the world of GNU software, to say 'glacial pace' is basically asking 'what's your hurry?' Fine win

I think it absolutely was. Even 50+ years ago there was far more competition in any number of industries and investors looking at a particular widget maker could compare numerous companies and analyze the operations and strategy of each be

Many of the LLM powered engines seem to be requiring a login these days. Just set up a burner gmail account to sign up for them (see, Google's still good for something ;-)

Did you try any of your queries using Perplexity Pro? (even at the free tier they give you a few 'Pro' queries a day) While it's still far from perfect, the Pro answers are generally higher quality than the free ones. I&#x27

The thinking is that the trajectory of LLM's will get them an AI flywheel where they can pump money in and get unlimited amounts of intelligence either augmenting or replacing human labor for pennies on the dollar. The business '

Not so complex as to prevent this from existing: https://github.com/YosysHQ (if you have a supported device, these tools work quite well) The limiting factor is that to support a given device it has to be reverse engineered

Nice to see a (presumably) simple to setup OpenWrt device at a reasonable price. It would be really great to see a future device with a switched fabric (5-ports minimum, more ports better). Already having an older device with a hackable s

The talent and ideas that were Pixelmator will be substantially diffused as it's absorbed by Apple... most of what you liked about Pixelmator is likely no more over the next year or two. Depending on Apple's reasoning for the acq

I'm arguing that Meta isn't in this for altruistic reasons. In the short term, they're doing this so Apple/Google can't do to them with AI tech what they've done to them with mobile/browsers. (i.e. Meta d

They can't since Meta can spend billions on models that they give away and never need to get a direct ROI on it. But don't expect Meta's largess to persist much beyond wiping out the competition. Then their models will pr

Likely not tense as it seems pretty clear where everyone stands on this. OpenAI and Anthropic are likely having conversations along the lines of 'move faster and build the moat!' while Meta is having a conversation along the line

When we get to the end of the hype cycle, they will be. The only question is if people will be interested in footing the power bill for any of the ocean of obsolete data center GPUs that companies will be dumping.
