idk about that with the rising cost of hardware. But I guess if your IT dept is doing the purchasing thats not really your problem.

If openai was building out with DDR5 that would create a big ol supply of DDR5 to make RAM cheap. No. They bought the wafers for HBM. The only thing thats going to get cheap when openai implodes are server stuff for homelab bros. The RAM ma

isn't that what the mixture of experts trick that all the big players do is? Bunch of smaller, tightly focused models

Went after the right component too. RAM manufacturers love an opportunity to create as much scarcity as possible.

Do you think that the average HN commenter has the same phishing risk as your grandpa? They're fine.

none of these consoles are "usable" I'm pretty into emulation. It's very misleading to claim that "modern consoles are emulatable" when no, only nintendo has emulators you can boot up, pick from a very large li

I apologize that nobody responding to you is understanding the point here that the last thing Linux gaming is, is consistent.

I'd be super down for GPUs to be cheaper again.

Yeah I'm one of them. Started as an on-site Linux sysadmin. Moved to cloud SRE because remote is plentiful and it pays better. I get crap recruiters in my inbox and LinkedIn every other week with the worst offers to go back to on-site

I thought about how to reply to this for a minute and then realized that I'm so desensitized by American tech companies that all the nonsense NVIDIA gets up to to maintain their economic position barely registers to me anymore.

There was another comment that pointed out how unlikely this is to happen because Amazon is just too big to bring the law down on now. When you're the, what. Second? Third? Largest employer in the US, enforcing the law now becomes a me

I like this with Linux but it's so inconsistent on windows that I just don't bother with it much anymore. I'm on windows most of the time.

My point is that DRM isn’t something that FOSS has any control over, and is becoming an increasingly common strategy to discourage using third party software because it forces compromises. So when the DRM doesn’t work and you get a degraded

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink Yeah we can Properly Educate non techies all day, but when they sit down to watch Netflix and have to deal with low quality video because their FOSS tech stack doesn’t pass the DRM s

It sounds to me like the biggest problem are the users. There’s no shortage of meaningfully free and open software to use that will do what you need, but as soon as you have to sacrifice any sort of convenience, non techies stops listening.

if this was most other companies or a random github project with decent activity I'd trust this more than installing software from Google on my computer during a time they're extremely interested in building data sets for ML work.

The case that this is true is only if you don't have an Nvidia GPU or don't play D3D12 games. I tried it, discovered that Nvidia has a known regression that causes anywhere up to 25% lower performance compared to Windows in GPU li

I think that's more because we don't have better options than anything else.

Yeah I know but I feel like whenever I mention DeepSeek and don't say that I always get the most Anti-China bros in my face lol

by agoodusername63 1y ago
I think theres still lots of room for huge jumps in many metrics. It feels like not too long ago that DeepSeek demonstrated that there was value in essentially recycling (Stealing, depending on your view) existing models into new ones to ac
