Anyone found any good example which showcase this?

in this thread: "it's not perfect! scrap the whole thing!"

GPU mining went away and gamers can't afford to pay the prices that the manufacturers have decided to start charging.

What if you were writing an essay about chatGPT or the history of chatbots or something like that? Of course you can quote it. Saying you can't quote it would be categorically insane. You can quote literally anything.

Besides switching to an SSD and replacing the graphics card because the previous one died in 2018, my 2014 build is still chugging along strong too.

I am not looking forward to a new build at the rate motherboards alone are going for these days.

If they want to do a cycle this short, then they need to figure out a way to get consumers the new console in less than 2 years after it comes out.

It got worse during COVID, but this has been an issue since the PS3/Wii days.

I didn't want upscaled videos anyway

This feels dangerously like the military industrial complex is feeding into the tech industry. It sounds like there's a lot of people, with interests in the sector, asking tax payers to support them indefinitely "cause China might catch up!".

Then if China follow in kind it's just a zero-sum race to the bottom.

Or the kompromat was worth sitting on for blackmail

I thought the corporation had a way to shut it down

AI regeneration would be great

Yeah, after watching last of us. It’s a nope from me. 😂

Meanwhile post Etherium-Bomb the market has been saturated by rock-bottom priced second-hand high-end cards.

I don’t think their aim is to get ahead of China but rather not depend on them for chips.

People also forget that a lot of that % is sort of a misnomer.

A huge chunk of it comes from hydro projects, which have existed in the Pacific Northwest, Sun Belt, Tennessee Valley, and New England/Quebec region for more than a generation.

If you subtract those long standing projects from the calculation, I would guess the number of modern projects accounts for closer to 10% of current generation.

Natural gas is still about 50% higher than 2021 but it shouldnt be near as bad as it has been. I'm not in the UK though

Well at least they won’t drone-bomb citizens, and I’m sure our top legal minds have firmly rejected the possibility!

What’s that? Both Obama and Trump killed citizens abroad sans trial (in absentia or otherwise), and Eric Holder refusing to rule out the idea is as much public debate as the notion got? Well at least we aren’t just recycling the same political whores who’ve been active in the government since the Nixon era, and the problem should fix itself.

The mob is probably hyped to finally be able to tie up all those loose ends :)

So the "Pro" cycle will be rebranded as a full new model and smart consumers will skip a generation in hardware.

Wow, you people are just absolutely TERRIFIED of the full Jan 6th footage getting out. Kind of absurd, it's just video evidence. What are you so afraid of?

are they burning people?

GPUs are in general way beyond overkill for NNs, which is what you’re talking about. NNs can use the massive data-parallelism and linear-algebraic trickery offered by GPUs, but the data format you use tends to hit a sweet spot right around 8-bit floating-point, and video cards tend to focus on 16+-bit, us. with the ability to do 32-/64-bit f.p. and 32-/64-bit integers also—units and busses for which will at the very least eat power. Newer NVidia cards do have TPUs attached so they can do 8-bit stuff without un- & re-packing, but that’s a comparatively tiny afterthought to the card’s design, and atl afaihs the TPU is usually shared between pairs of thread-XUs.

What you’d really want is to focus on, say, 32-bit integer add/sub/deref and 8-bit f.p. MACs in their own, non-shared units/lanes, and any special accel you can do for convolution will help some also. Which is why TPUs as a standalone thing exist.

The thing about PCs is they’re customizable. You don’t have to upgrade all at once if you can’t afford it.

Is it necessary to stay ahead? Why not simply gain independence?
