Thank you for that explanation. My regex impaired ass thought he wanted to hurt generation[x|y|z].
I'm like "what'd we ever do to you?"

Switched from Kubuntu to Mint + KDE last week. Very happy indeed.
At least the article points out that this is a Wall Street valuation, meaning it's meaningless in reality, the company doesn't have that much money, nor is it actually worth that much. In reality, Nvidia's tangible book value (plant, equipment, brands, logos, patents, etc.) is $37,436,000,000.
$37,436,000,000 / 29,600 employees = $1,264,729.73 per employee
Which isn't bad considering the median salary at Nvidia is $266,939 (up 17% from last year).
It sounds like the processor is the real limitation. Plenty of stuff from Windows XP era and before ran in less than 512MB.
I ran it on a Ras Pi 3B+ and it did ok with 1080p and below. There were a few movies that had stuttering issues, so I'm guessing the Pi's better with some codecs than others.
I liked it better than the 914 & 944, I'll give it that.
I've grown to like watching Dennis Quaid onscreen. It's not that he's an especially good actor, he just gives me that 80's nostalgia vibe. The cocaine story is peak 80s.
... it should be possible to continue supporting those older cards by setting the compile time information to match your gpus.
I'll admit that's probably over my head, but still good advice. The 1080ti works fine for now, but whenever it gets dropped from support, I have a good home for it.
I have a Win7 machine so I can run my older games that don't play well in linux. Nvidia Rocket Sled Demo on a 1080ti screams.

Looking for upgrade advice. Anyone building their supercomputer out of 3060s?
(discuss.tchncs.de)
So here's the way I see it; with Data Center profits being the way they are, I don't think Nvidia's going to do us any favors with GPU pricing next generation. And apparently, the new rule is Nvidia cards exist to bring AMD prices up.
So here's my plan. Starting with my current system;
OS: Linux Mint 21.2 x86_64
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics (16) @ 4.673GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Lite Hash Rate
GPU: AMD ATI 0b:00.0 Cezanne
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
Memory: 4646MiB / 31374MiB
I think I'm better off just buying another 3060 or maybe 4060ti/16. To be nitpicky, I can get 3 3060s for the price of 2 4060tis and get more VRAM plus wider memory bus. The 4060ti is probably better in the long run, it's just so damn expensive for what you're actually getting. The 3060 really is the working man's compute card. It needs to be on an all-time-greats list.
My limitations are that I don't have room for full-length cards (a 1080ti, at 267mm, just barely fits), also I don't want the cursed power connector. Also, I don't really want to buy used because I've lost all faith in humanity and trust in my fellow man, but I realize that's more of a "me" problem.
Plus, I'm sure that used P40s and P100s are a great value as far as VRAM goes, but how long are they going to last? I've been using GPGPU since the early days of LuxRender OpenCL and Daz Studio Iray, so I know that sinking feeling when older CUDA versions get dropped from support and my GPU becomes a paperweight. Maxwell is already deprecated, so Pascal's days are definitely numbered.
On the CPU side, I'm upgrading to whatever they announce for Ryzen 9000 and a ton of RAM. Hopefully they have some models without NPUs, I don't think I'll need them. As far as what I'm running, it's Ollama and Oobabooga, mostly models 32Gb and lower. My goal is to run Mixtral 8x22b but I'll probably have to run it at a lower quant, maybe one of the 40 or 50Gb versions.
My budget: Less than Threadripper level.
Thanks for listening to my insane ramblings. Any thoughts?

Woman Stuck in Tesla For 40 Minutes With 115 Degrees Temperature During Vehicle Update

I had to take my GPU out to do some troubleshooting, so I figured why not try some games on the old Ryzen 5700G. Ray-traced Quake wasn't exactly playable at 3 fps, but I'm impressed that it could load and display correctly.
Other games I tried; Portal RTX wouldn't start at all. Spider-Man remastered did start, but I can't get past the load menu, not related to the Ryzen APU. Most of my library is 10+ years old, so pretty much everything else runs fine on the APU.

Harpootlian vows to fight proposed apartments 'tooth and nail' if they house homeless vets
(www.postandcourier.com)
Residents of the Cottontown neighborhood are concerned the two-building, 102-unit complex will house homeless veterans using government vouchers to pay rent
So they don't want to house homeless veterans, at least Not In My Back Yard™. And, when given the chance to walk back his comments at least a little bit, Harpootlian doubled down. https://thetandd.com/news/local/government-and-politics/sc-rep-ott-criticizes-sen-harpootlian-for-comments/article_0e6ee7c3-6333-5660-a138-82803d9ba413.html

He was a great comedian but his "I don't vote" shtick really fucked this country over. Moderate, reasonable, people stayed home, thinking 'it doesn't matter', and conservative dickheads took over at the polls. 1996
