Indeed. At least now it's only 3x TSMCs annual revenue. Jim Kellar is also out to ride the AI bubble, but at least he has a company with product you can buy and a bunch of ASIC engineers with experience (Tenstorrent). $1T in his pocket

It's also becoming very apparent that the studios can't support the level of investment their having to make to develop AAA either. A bit like the movie studios, dropping billions on titles that can only make money back if they ma

I'm amazed we're still on discs as physical media and not usb keys. Speed ( ), size, and capacity would all be greatly improved. It would be a bit like the cartridges of old. I guess it must be a cost thing. USB3.0 can theoretic

So it's $140 dollars for 2 in the comparison. Right?

As a general philosophy, don't ban it, regulate the use of it. What if trace amount of mercury are needed for the next world changing technology? By precluding reasonable access you're ensuring that will be invented somewhere else

I'd recommend trying stuff that exhausts the VRAM. That seems to be where thinks get flakey for me (RX 7600 - 8GB), especially if running a desktop too.

Indeed, but I think people forget that the reason AMD have a license in the first place was because Intel's customers in the early days required a second source for it's processors. Who owns the Cyrix x86 license these days?

Installing PyTorch with the PyTorch website instructions for AMD was pretty painless for me on Linux. I know everybodies experience is different, but install wasn't the issue for me. For me the issue on AMD was stability in situations

You think they're going to say "Hey, compute became competitive but nothing else changed performance therefore... PRICE HIKE!"? They don't have the reputation to burn in this domain for that IMHO. Granted you could see a

...because they feel that at 20+10 it achieves a superior output than at 50 steps for SDXL. They also benchmark it against 1 step for SDXL-Turbo.

The code is MIT. The model has a non-commercial license. They are separate pieces of work under different licenses. Stability AI have said that the non-commercial license is because this is a technology preview (like SDXL 0.9 was).

WTF! On my 5900X, so 12 cores, I was able to get SDXL to around 10-15 minutes. I did do a few things to get to that. 1. I used an AMD Zen optimised BLAS library. In particular the AMDBLIS one, although it wasn't that different to the I

Shouldn't be a reason you couldn't do a ton of Layer C work on different images, and then swap in Layer B.

$7T is more than all of TSMCs revenue ever. Last year was $69B. That was their second biggest year, and they haven't existed for 100 years yet.

I think your recollection of the Evga exit is wrong. They already had their 4000 series boards designed. They were all set. Prototype boards have made their way into the public sphere now. Then, whilst the launch was prepping Evga [cited](

Inglewood and Santa Monica are close enough to require the same level of income in order to afford a certain standard of living. Sure the standards of living may not overlap much, but they are on the same scale. That's not true of Cali

Maybe because a gun should never be treated as totally safe.

Reprogram your brain for "Red means danger, green means safe" and you'll do a lot better. Red at a traffic light means there's a danger so you stop. Green means it's safe to proceed. Red on a gun safety switch means
