    "Triangulation" infected dozens of iPhones belonging to employees of Moscow-based Kaspersky

    At least the US Government isn't just outright assassinating political dissidents. The 60's were rough, it wasn't your cellphone getting you killed it was being a capable enough person to organise people without the internet. Snowdens basic point was the government *is* psychotic enough to burn...

    AMD Publishes FSR 3 Source Code

    Weird. I have never had to update a GPU with mitigations to its parlour tricks. Definitely not ones that cut the performance in half.

    Nvidia RTX 4090 power connectors melting?

    I can seat the connecters fine, but if you put too much strain on them they just start to pop out. Why would people but strain on them? Cuz the cards are way out of spec physically and then the dumb ass connecters stick straight out even further. Its just one connector it could be pointing in so...

    New Avatar PC Game Has a Hidden 'Unobtainium' Graphics Setting Targeting Future GPUs

    Crysis was fucked because it was designed for 5-6ghz single threaded cpu's that never eventuated and was hella CPU bound for a long time. If I want to break my system I use Fortnite, it gets a new unobtanium setting every three months with Epic showing off the latest engine improvements.

    Galax announces a single slot 4060TI

    16GB what? fuck off no way. You can put like so many of them in 4RU holy shit. They'll be like hens teeth to buy. And when you are handing out PCIex5 lanes who cares that its x8? That means it only takes four of my lanes. Think new new version of this...

    Nvidia pulls in some $18.1B up from $5.93B this time last year...

    I think you all missed the part where DLSS allows nVidia to turn AI into Raster. Raster is stuck where it is, but DLSS will get really really really good. Or at least it will become the only game in town.

    Nvidia is ‘No longer a graphics company’

    GPT 3 was trained on fuckin Voltas. The new new LLM's are yet to be built and the current ones are making massive undeniable accelerations to workloads that render you uncompetitive without them in some industries. But the thing is while training is a bitch, if you build something with...

    Nvidia is ‘No longer a graphics company’

    Apple didn't stop making Laptops and PC's. Witness the M3 Ultra! But they're a phone company now. With a lil bitty PC department. nVidia will keep making the most kick as gfx cards, but it will be a tiny department reusing stuff developed for phones. Datacenters.

    Nvidia pulls in some $18.1B up from $5.93B this time last year...

    The goal is models that give a majority of people a 30% boost in productivity without dimming the lights of the whole planet. However, how we finally get there might leave nVidia looking like SGI, which would be ironic. Or Google looking like Yahoo. And the VC's sure as shit can't tell one AI...

    RDNA — Bulldozer or Zen ?

    AMD could massively slash their GPU prices and go for market share.... but where would they FAB them? The save the company, win the future moves are where you get 100x + mark ups, and those customers are buying every kind of accelerator as fast as they can be shipped. I feel like the next...

    RDNA — Bulldozer or Zen ?

    AMD has figured out tiling GPUs on their M300. They can make any capacity APU they want now. They can also focus on upgrading just the GPU tiles while a GPU i/o ship stays the same and the card stays validated so they can do much faster cycels. But they got to get their architecture...

    Windows 11’s AI-powered Copilot (and its Bing-powered ads) enters public preview

    I dunno. GPT 4 isn't nearly as dumb as some of my friends, and isn't going to choose windows for a desktop for example. Or get knocked up by a dipshit. Or buy a house with a mortgage right before interest rates are obviously set to climb for decades.

    Windows 11’s AI-powered Copilot (and its Bing-powered ads) enters public preview

    The number of humans who actually change their minds based on explicit data is pretty small. Most go by their gut which is in fact making statistical guesses based on its training data. But programming based on a gut instinct about which Function you should build next is a risk process, unless...

    Apple 'Scary Fast' Mac event October 30th

    I used to haul around a 7 kglaptop with a 2kg power supply. It had the first dual core AMD chip, might have been a desktop part. raided hard drives. 17" screen. maybe it had sli gpus? I had the first model Dell 24" screen wide HD LCD with a handle I bolted to the top. I traveled 'door to door'...

    Plenty of people use Asahi as a daily driver. I love my air cuz not only does it have super fast ram, but when I use it heavily for work each day all day, I still only have to charge it every other night. I never take a charger with me anywhere.

    Intel ‘Downfall’: Severe flaw in billions of CPUs leaks passwords and much more

    AMD Plays the VRAM Card Against NVIDIA

    Theres a fork of Stable Diffusion built for AMD. Im still just tooling around with a 6900 til I have a better idea on whats happening with the tech. At the moment CUDA is very core, and the 4090 ti if it appears will be the new hotness.

    AMD Plays the VRAM Card Against NVIDIA

    Apple Announces Updated Mac Pro With M2 Ultra

    PCIe 4? If they had a chip twice the size, hell even at that size where else can you get 100+ GB of Vram outside of renting nV cloud? It can ingest 24 4k streams? This is why I got out of TV, it all just got way too easy. It feels like a stop gap for an M3 super chip next year. Its enough to...

    Apple M3 Pro Chip to Pack Entry-Level Configuration of 12 CPU Cores and 18 GPU Cores on TSMC 3 nm Technology

    Meh, if the game you are playing is how much VRAM can I feed my AI model, and the 48GB card is over $8k.... a Mac with 64, 96, or 128GB of unified memory is suddenly pretty appealing.
