    News Nvidia's upcoming ARM-based N1X SoC leaks again, this time on FurMark — modest benchmark score indicates early engineering sample but confirms Wind...

    CUDA requires drivers for each of the specific cores. Just because it has CUDA cores, doesn't mean it will have support for the CUDA software out of the box. None of the news i've skimmed on the internet had any info about that. So we will wait and see "soon" :)

    News Researchers find automated financial traders will collude with each other through a combination of 'artificial intelligence' and 'artificial stupidity

    You already had this kind of behaviors with fast trading algos without AI being involved.

    Interesting. I will look forward to this, when there is cuda support for it and laptops runing it with linux. Not interested at all in Windows.

    News V-Color announces 2TB RDIMM kits for Threadripper Pro 9000 — 256GB modules promise stability at absurdly high RAM capacities

    Don't understand why at this age people create non-ecc memory for workstations / server setups.

    News Positron AI says its Atlas accelerator beats Nvidia H200 on inference in just 33% of the power — delivers 280 tokens per second per user with Llama...

    ZzZzZ Give me a PCIe expansion card (not 16x as that is already used by the graphics card), that can do 1/10 of that, and used 1/10 of the power (or rater, under the power limit of the PCIe slot). And with an affordable price, then i may consider it. No need for more than that for my desktop as...

    News Faux-CRT monitor designed to pair up with retro mini PCs to recreate CRT feeling — cute 8-incher puts retro design first by shoving a 60 Hz LCD pan...

    The trick was to have an L shaped desk and place the monitor in the angle... That way you saved some space. In reality, what i would like would be a monitor that could receive from composite video, scart and plain rgb. That would help with the retro stuff a lot.

    News Chinese researchers invent silicon photonic multiplexer chip that uses light instead of electricity for communication — CCP says China's early step...

    No worries, we will all die, and a future race of intelligent cockroaches will inherit the Earth. And they will be burning petrol for heating in a semi-frozen glacier age. Their archeologists will be investigating human skeletons and some weird leftover ICE engines... And the history will...

    News 16 billion accounts exposed in one of the largest data breaches in history — enormous data haul holds two accounts for every human alive

    OTP are transmitted in clear text, so you only need a packet sniffer in the vicinity of the mobile phone, so the onus is not on the user, but on the institution for using such a trivial breakable security measure. There is no doctrine in security. Also if you are claiming that the user shared...

    News I've been gaming on Windows for over 30 years, but now I'm giving Linux a shot

    I used Mint before with battle.net with lutris/wine and it kind of worked. Then it stopped working one update. I couldn't point out why and not even a clean install would make it work after that upgrade. The update client would just freeze at about 25%, and wouldn't progress any further.

    News The GPU 16-pin melting fiasco is getting ridiculous — now this entire Nvidia RTX turns into a red ring of death when it is incorrectly plugged in

    Prominent warning only if you use a glass box. So the design failure continues. me -> grabbing popcorn while waiting for Nvidia class action... or should that be glass action? -> I know the joke is bad... leaving now!

    News Apple says generative AI cannot think like a human - research paper pours cold water on reasoning models

    That mimics precisely my experience. When i ask simple and common things, the LLM answers with an adequate response. When I ask more complex and niche things, the response is just random garble. Also, for code / programming, it is not only quite useless, but also dangerous. The samples that...

    News Compact Thunderbolt 5 and OCuLink eGPU flaunts RTX 4090 Laptop GPU

    This is also an alternative for adding ai cuda processing to mac computers. Just saying... I would prefer an AMD one with a software equivalent to the cuda... but the rocm stack still needs to improve quite a bit... But then, both of them are not exactly the pristine UX that people think they...

    News AMD's FSR Redstone uses machine learning to achieve parity with Nvidia DLSS

    They can't triple the production by switching a button. The production runs of TSMC are all booked for the next couple of years, probably on all factories. The reminder is just auction of expedite production runs (or cancelled slots from others), which enter into the auction again. This won't be...
