because it tends to include a previous version of the driver, which causes install/uninstall havok
To be fair, this is a packaging/distro problem, as CUDA should always work (and be kept in sync with) the newest graphics driver.
ROCM and OpenVINO (AMD and Intel) are even more of a pain, actually.
I don’t even know what they’re using the SSDs for.
Most businesses are too stupid to train their own models from scratch, and won’t use “foreign” ones so they won’t finetune them either.
On the inference side… SSDs aren’t used for much. Just storing Docker stuff/dependencies and model weights for the initial load, and that’s it. Maybe some data for bulk processing, but that’s no different than existing software. The one niche may be KV cache swapping for re-using prompt prefixes, but this is limited and being obsoleted by new attention mechanism.
So WTF do they even need SSDs and HDDs for? Honestly it feels like FOMO purchasing.
A lot of scientists, tinkerers, 3D renderers and such would love cheap A100s and up.
On the contrary, I don’t think they will get cheaper. Somehow they’ll get bought back and trashed (like Nvidia has done in the past), hoarded, tasked with busywork, something that that.

This person is so close.
Billionaires. They hates billionaires, and what they’re doing to the planet. He/she just doesn’t realize it yet.
Maybe they will if they starts writing lyrics and one song ends up eerily close to RATM.
Yeah.
It’s less trouble for, like, a two-person food truck. Perhaps that‘s what OP is seeing. But cash quickly becomes plenty of trouble.
Credit cards have hazards too though, like chargebacks/fraud. I read some horror story about that sinking a healthy business.
In The Pale Moonlight ages like fine wine.
It’s language for people who advertise they know something about “AI,” but couldn’t implement it if their life depended on it.
TBH I’ve never heard that one, but it sounds like they’re trying to use “gradient descent” in a sentence.
That’s amazing. It’s almost hard to believe, yet it sounds about right.
That makes sense.
Heh. Spotify used to stream 384K Vorbis, which should be sufficient. But now the web app is apparently AAC. And the app-apps are conspicuously listed with “equivalent to” bitrates, whatever that means:

Very high: Equivalent to approximately 320kbit/s
Behold:
5.4 Electrical Conductivity Measurement This method includes electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and dielectric analysis (DEA). The physical state of a material is measured as a function of frequency in EIS and the frequency ranges from 100 Hz - 10 MHz. It is simple and easier technique used to estimate the physiological status of various biological tissues49-52. Experimental frequency response of impedance is characterised by electrical equivalent circuits of materials. The physical properties of materials can be quantified by monitoring the changes in parameters at the equivalent circuit, among various equivalent models proposed53-54. DEA measurement is used in high frequency areas, generally 100 MHz - 10 GHz. DEA is used in moisture estimation and bulk density determination
So a overripe banana is an interesting high-pass filter, kinda like a capacitor, though the big takeaway is the conductance vs ripeness.
So if you want to test if a banana is ready to eat, hook it up… preferably with several other bananas in series. If the music is too loud, they are ready. Too quiet, and it’s not time yet.
I did a blind test, and found it depends on the genre.
Slow, chill music is completely transparent when compressed, no matter how hard I “audio peep.” It’s not even a question.
But something “dense” like System of a Down has audible distortion. It loosely (not always) coincided with the bitrate of the flac files, which kind of makes sense, though even the extreme end is hard to notice unless you know the particular song very well.
Also… a lot of recordings kind of suck. It’s crazy to worry about tiny bits of distortion when a bit perfect master is already noisy and distorted.
It’s been like this for decades, according to my dad. Well before the internet.
My conspiracy theory is they have so much dirt on the finance world that it gives them leverage.
What if there were to be a “data breach” of what they’ve been subscribe too…
OF has killed off the vast majority of ppl just doing it for fun.
With Instragram as the “creator front page.” Patreon too, on the digital art side.
It’s so weird how OF gets to pretend it isn’t a porn site, and somehow get along with banks that would normally turn their nose up to a literal porn site.
You can still buy the Framework Strix Halo board (with 128GB RAM) for $2k. For now.
I have a 3090, yet I’m still seriously considering it. The CPU itself is an engineering marvel, not to speak of the ridiculously fast RAM and IGP.
Only caveat is you better be a Python/Linux person. As you will be building forks and beating your head against the screen to get the setup working right.
Friend, this is 2026.
Clickbait is mandatory. Get your reason out of here.
It’s not! Use SonoBus; it’s dead simple, and superior to Discord. It’s far lower latency, with customizable filters, peer-to-peer; and totally free.
Now if you want emojis and video and rambling channels and stuff, you will have to go elsewhere.
I’m sure many did, sadly.
Camera equipment.
All the mirrorless makers price gouge the daylight out of their stuff.
Thats just poor distro support, kind of like CUDA in the past… ROCM should “just work” if it’s shipped right. But it’s not really a priority with maintainers.
Now, if you’re trying to run CUDA stuff with ROCM, that’s a whole different story. The bast majority of GPU software has extremely poor ROCM support compared to CUDA, and some of this is definitely from AMD footgunning.
