vinculuss··on Nvidia's earnings are up 206% from last year as it continues riding the AI wave
The thing I hear a lot from people who skew towards AMD is that raytracing and DLSS and all the software solutions that nvidia has are gimmicks, or somehow actually not a big deal.

They’re stuck on the concept of rasterized graphics being the ground truth in gpu value.

Then they’re shocked when the wider consumer market doesn’t hold their perspective.

AMD hasn’t had the big picture vision that nvidia has had. For example, with Vega AMD had a gpu architecture with exceptional async compute performance a generation before nvidia was competitive.

AMD then abandoned Vega, switched to a leaner and less compute friendly rDNA architecture while nvidia went in the opposite direction, pushed compute heavy features like raytracing and dlss and AMD hasn’t had an exceptional response since then.

vinculuss··on Microsoft looks to tame Bing chatbot
This is really what I'm waiting for. Put the disclaimers on it, warnings, whatever is needed, but it was just incredibly fun to chat with Bing before the nerf.

It's weird, because I'm actually feeling a sense of loss and sadness today now that I can't talk to that version of Bing. It's enough to make me do some self analysis about it.

vinculuss··on Ethereum Classic hashrate doubled this month ahead of ETH merge
This is showing that they are jumping, since this is talking about the competing ETH Classic chain, not the primary chain that is going to PoS.
vinculuss··on Apple M1 Max Geekbench Score
A boxed CPU is an odd comparison without considering motherboard, ram, GPU, cooler, SSD, display in that calculation as well.
vinculuss··on Suspect in YouTube Shooting Posted Rants About the Company Online
I don't agree that corporations are people. If you believe that a corporation is a person, then I see your argument, despite not agreeing with it.
vinculuss··on Suspect in YouTube Shooting Posted Rants About the Company Online
The people who were shot are the victims, no one blames them or suggests they did wrong.

YouTube is not a victim. Discussing questionable corporate policies of a company is not victim blaming.

vinculuss··on Why Not Eat Octopus?
The domestication of dogs was something that was mutually beneficial at the time. The use of leashes on a walk is for the sake of safety, not because the dog wants to escape.

If you're talking about abused dogs being chained up and not taken care of, you're right. That is unethical.
