I sincerely hope so. Elon Musk is a fucking idiot, and deserves to lose all the money he’s put into it.
The innocent people working there, however, don’t deserve it. I hope they can all get out and find other work before this shitshow finally reaches the bottom of the abyss they’re sliding into.
Who cares? Nobody outside of twitter needs to know if Twitter is growing or shrinking or rebranding or changing or turning into a subscription or anything else. Investor maybe but I hope they have a more reliable source than Elon…
Post screenshot of tweets with relevant content, that’s okay but stop wasting our time with nonsense about Twitter itself.
Somehow we all figured out how to stop talking about Facebook… Let’s just do the same with Twitter.
I never understood Twitter and I never want to. It’s like that tube machine at the bank. People bundle up a little sentence then shoot it out into the Twittashphere. Why? I’m with you, screenshot something interesting and leave the rest in the dumpster fire where it belongs
What i don’t get is how nvidia stock is exploding when using their hardware for AI is a nightmare on Linux. How are companies doing this? Are they just offering enterprise support to ibsiders or something?
For what it’s worth, NVIDIA’s failings on Linux tend to be mostly in the desktop experience. As a compute device driven by cuda and not responsible for the display buffer, they work plenty good. Enterprise will not be running hardware GUI or DEs on the machines that do the AI work, if at all.
I’ve had a bunch of issues with my GTX 1080 before I switched to an AMD RX 5700 XT. I love it, but I recently put the 1080 back in use for a headless game streaming server for my brother. It’s been working really well, handling both rendering and encoding at 1080p without issue, so I guess I’ve arrived at the same conclusion. They don’t really care about desktop usage, but once you’re not directly interacting with a display server on an Nvidia GPU, it’s fine.
Nvidia is a breeze on linux vs amd. cuda is the only thing meaningfully supported across Windows and Linux. I fought with my 6900xt for so long trying to get ROCm working that I eventually bought a used 1080ti just to do the AI/ML stuff I wanted to do. I threw that into a server and had everything up and running in literally 10 minutes (and 5 minutes was making proxmox pass the gpu through to the VM).
People want to bitch about nvidia, but their entire ecosystem is better than AMD. The documentation is better and the tooling is better. On paper AMD is competitive but in practice Nvidia has so much more going for it–especially if you are doing any sort of AI/ML.
There are some benefits to to amd on linux; its the reason I replaced my 3070ti for a 6900xt. But that experience taught me: 1. AMD isn’t as good on linux as people give it credit for 2. nvidia isn’t as bad on linux as people blame it for. You trade different issues. Eg. Lose nvenc and cant use amf unless you use the amdpro driver not the open source one. if you use the pro driver you immediately lose half the benefits of the open source driver which is probably why you switch to amd on linux to begin with. So if you game, you can’t stream with a decent encoder–so you have to play with settings and throw cpu horsepower at it.
But hey, my DE doesn’t stutter and I dont have to do kludgy workarounds to get some games to play.
That’s not true. Some companies contribute. AMD does a great job fostering open source software. This is an Nvidia issue. They are a plague and I hope they one day lose market share for it.
And you could upgrade them too. Back when socketed CPUs existed on laptops along with expansion slots, and batteries were removable with a thumb latch (and most laptops could run on the power adapter without the battery being installed, which prevented trickle charging related battery degradation, perfect for a “desktop replacement” that would spend a lot of its time hooked up to power before that category of laptops even really existed). Good times.
They even had a super compact version. Something like a d400. Was awesome for datacenter/console work. Had a serial port, vga and was like 12.3 inches and only a few pounds despite being stout.
I think I used a d6xx for a while longer than I should have just because of that serial port and how bad usb to serial adapters were back then.
Unfortunately the d420 had a slower processor and would struggle as a desktop replacement.
Because the dude said the ships were piloted by non-humans, and that the pentagon took the non-human biological remains to experiment on. Like he didn’t outright say the word “aliens” but he 100% meant aliens.
The thing I think a lot of people miss is that, if I’m not mistaken, due to his position he has to report on what he was told. It doesn’t matter if it sounds insane or he doesn’t have proof; his job is to tell Congress what he was told during his investigations. If he was told that it’s aliens, then that’s what he has to tell Congress.
I want to believe it’s aliens. I think that’d be pretty cool. However, my speculation is that he was given false information by the military to try to make him sound nuts and get Congress off their backs. Either that or he wasn’t given the full picture. Just because something is non-human doesn’t mean it’s alien in origin. It could be unmanned drones that had mice, monkeys or dogs in them to test g-forces (not sure why you couldn’t use a dummy in this day and age, but that’s beside the point). It could be the result of some kind of experiment to use biological matter instead of silicon and wiring. It could be aliens. There still isn’t enough information for a definitive conclusion except that the US has had unidentified objects flying through controlled aerospace unimpeded.
