DiabloD3

I was expecting Linda Hamilton, but apparently more than one set of twins were in there.

I still find it funny how the AI Bros bribed Trump, and he immediately turned around and cost them significant revenue.

As they say, qui cum canibus concumbunt cum pulicibus surgent.

Serpent Lake (and its siblings) cover both consumer desktop and laptop.

Arc's team was disproportionately effected by the layoffs. A lot of the major engineers that worked there changed their Linked in details to list Nvidia, AMD, etc.

As for DC and Workstation GPUs, they also seem to be canceled.

We'll see next year, I guess.

HN front page circa September through December of last year. Its part of the $5B investment into Nvidia, and the new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, happily did whatever Nvidia told him to do.

Nova Lake (Series 4) is already too late in development to switch, so its shipping with Celestial, and Titan Lake (Series 5) after it will be essentially a Nova Lake refresh using a hybrid tile that is Celestial's graphics engine with Druid's media, memory, and bus controllers (since Druid development has been halted).

Serpent Lake (Series 6) will be the first that can ship with Nvidia tiles, which should launch in early 2028.

Unless something changes, there will be no DGPU Celestial products.

Unfortunately, the ink on the contract is already dry, so this is the end of Intel's GPU unit.

Yep, but the flip side is you can get two B70s for the price of a single 3090 (MSRP, obviously; 3090s used go for about the same as a new B70), and they're true 2 slot, so they can fit on x8/x8 consumer boards fine.

The side effect is Intel has fired their entire Arc team, including the driver team, as well have canceled all Celestial products (only low end combined GPU + IO die products will have Celestial, as its too late in production to change). All future Intel products will have Nvidia graphics tiles.

Llama.cpp is, of course, still trying to better support the existing Intel products, but its kinda hard when they might stop working any day due to driver breakage.

That is incorrect.

They both have GDDR6.

The B70 has 256 bit it bus at a clock speed of 2375mhz (608 GB/s), the 3090 has a 384 bit bus at a clock speed of 2438mhz (936 GB/s).

It isn't slower, it just has less channels, ie, it is less wide.

Sundaras aren't great, but are sufficient for this. Scarlett series is also good enough.

At 48khz, with a tone generator (not rando Youtube videos or anything), you should be able to clearly hear up to around 16khz (as in, can tell pitch of tone), and be able to tell a tone is being played at all up through 18khz, and hopefully up to 20khz.

The problem with RocksDB is Facebook uses it, and has a similar system that replicates data across the world... and still faces unrecoverable data loss because of RocksDB.

Yeaaaaaaaaaahhhh.... you might be a tiny bit deaf.

OTOH, we know nothing of your audio equipment nor how its setup.

Thats a weird way for Sony to announce the end of the Playstation

Interesting, they used to be the largest ZFS user.

Hard to Google for it without getting AI slop on it, but apparently they built their own stack in 2019.

Not sure I like their solution, "Meta-data is persisted in RocksDB databases using a proprietary KV store called QuarkDB." Unless QuarkDB has magically removed RocksDB's amazing ability to corrupt and lose data frequently, this whole thing sounds like a bad idea.

Also, their data is not stored on any one system (local XFS, Ceph, Lustre), a recipe for disaster.

In one pool, sure.

You can have more than one pool.

All using ZFS, too

I'm already playing 2.1, and have been since it came out like 3? 4? days ago.

Seeya sometime next decade.

As a reminder, the most dangerous job in Russia is "opposition leader".

MTP models share internal state with the main model, and also refer to parameters in the model.

They are more like a single model that has two separate attention head mechanisms.

They weren't the first to do MTP like this, and arguably did it wrong: the MTP heads are kept in a separate file and have to be welded in by the inference engine.

Qwen 3.6 shipped with working MTP first, and had working MTP in llama.cpp first.

Your father should only be looking at Kelly Blue Book values. What brand ends up retaining theirs year after year? Toyota.

He's right to buy American made when it comes to cars, we know what we're doing... he's just gonna have to buy a Toyota to get American.

In a way, its funny you say Toyota is the foreign brand.

Of domestically produced GM, Chrysler, or Ford vehicles, most are shipped to foreign customers; of domestically sold GM, Chrysler, or Ford vehicles, most are manufactured by foreign factories. They do some assembly locally, but the majority of it is of foreign manufacture.

However, Toyota manufacturers most of their domestic sales domestically, and operate one of the largest car manufacturing plants in the US, only slightly below Ford's US plant that largely exports to Europe. Of domestically made cars that are domestically sold, Toyota dominates that.

BMW and Nissan also operate plants in the US for domestic use.

I agree that this backwards Reaganite behavior is just going to further shut the Detroit Three out of any future. They're already on the way out, a slow decline since they left the US, but this is going to finally finish those zombies off.

No.

If it wasn't for Linux and open source, I very much could!

Thats neat.

Ahh, I misread it.

This is a weird way for Apple to admit the Mac is dead.

So, by definition, you did edit it to change the typo.

When I'm on Linux, I use KDE exclusively now (although I'm hoping Cosmic replaces it someday). The apps that use QML are fine even on decade old CPUs with absolute shit iGPUs, still better than even absolutely awfully designed WinUI apps.

They have their own LLM, might as well use it and then screw their biggest customers that are in the business of LLM-aaS

This is a weird way for Nvidia to announce they're going out of business.

I notice you say, specifically, Qt Widgets.

Yes, classic Qt Widgets still doesn't allow for hardware acceleration.

However, the majority of Qt UIs you deal with are in Qt Quick, which is hardware accelerated. Almost all of KDE is Qt Quick, for example.

Windows is so fucking old that I think it has a right to try again.

And, btw, the reason Microsoft even bothered is because (dun dun dunnnn) lots of internal apps at Microsoft were written with Qt, not MFC, and leadership got pissed when they realized (they couldn't tell the difference, since Qt does the native++ technique).

As for Linux, yeah, thats a shitshow. Qt was closed source, Linux isn't, so they made Gtk, but then Qt got open sourced, and then the Gtk guys just kept going. Qt can mimic Gtk3/4 themes and already uses 100% native rendering (same APIs Gtk does).

People keep writing Gtk apps for some reason, and I don't know why. I can get the C++ hate, but Qt has the cleanest C++ I've ever seen.
