I love how no one in the comments specifically mentions his name, like he's fucking Voldemort or something.
Jensen Huang!
gasps
Oh, so this is about NVidia and its CEO. Thanks.
Yeah, he has been pissing everybody for quite a long time already. People still buy the things he sells...
Literally first time I see his name.
How about the majority of comments asking what this means, and nobody answering?
Avada Raytracing!

Who is he what did he do?
CEO of a company that makes the computer part that is most important for gamers. He has a net worth of about 100 billion USD
Their products are currently better than the competition and they make full use of their position.
They are known for very high prices, scummy marketing tricks, and abusing their small business partners.
The company briefly overtook Apple and Microsoft, becoming the most valuable company at around 3 trillion USD.

I read this in Detective John Kimble's voice.

Not as weird as reddit. Go look at the front page these days. There are posts like "what's your name?" With thousands of upvotes. Completely worthless drivel is getting driven to the front page.
On lemmy.world i would fully believe anyone who said there are 60+ bots boosting any given post (obviously not every post). Thats not a lot when you think about it but enough to give certain posts traction and ensure they stay at the top for days.
Definitely losing interest fast in this "reddit alternative". The politics subs are just as bad, if not worse, than Facebook and Twitter. The communities are just clones of subreddits, after the 3rd party / mod purge. The dumbass comment chains that stopped being funny 5 years ago. Clearly bots being used to influence social issues... Could go on but it's just more wasted bandwidth.
It's okay, at least you tried it out.
Cool.
I just see Lemmy as "more Reddit"
I read Reddit, I read Lemmy.
Lemmy usually has 60-80 active commenters on any post that makes it to the front few pages of the entire network, which is more than enough cannon fodder for general discourse and discussion.
I don't care if two or three ass-hats are using bots. They're obvious and easy to spot, and everyone downvotes them anyway, and if they don't, who cares? Move on. This site isn't governed by any one person or interest, it's going to be influenced by everyone equally, and that includes cheap shit like bots, because they're wrapped up in everyone just the same as everybody else.
All of which keep buying his products...
People buy Nvidia no matter what. Even when they aren't the best choice. Then those same people complain about Nvidia doing the anticompetitive things they do.
The best is when people cheer for AMD making something great, only so they can buy an Nvidia card cheaper, as if the only reason AMD exists is to subsidise their Nvidia purchase!
Nvidia's greatest asset is the mindshare they have.
Well that and CUDA still means a load of professionals in various fields are stuck using Nvidia whether they like it or not. This means data centers are incentivised to go with Nvidia if they want those customers, which ultimately means if someone gonna work on code/tools that run in those data centers, you want the same architecture on your local machine for development and testing.
It's getting better, but the gap is still real. Hopefully the guys that are working on SCALE can actually get it working on the CDNA GPUs one day, since data centers are where a lot of the CUDA is running or perhaps the UDNA stuff AMD just announced will enable this.
The fact this is all hinging on the third party that develops SCALE, should highlight that AMD still doesn't seem to be playing the same game as Nvidia, which is why we're still in this position.

"I want change!"
*Doesn't do anything to change*
"Why hasn't anything changed?"
I would have much preferred giving AMD money instead, but at their best the lack of DLSS performance was meaningful when everyone thought Cyberpunk was the new standard of graphical fidelity with the 6000/3000 series.
The linear algebraic computations performed on their GPU's tensor cores (since the Turing era) combined with their CUDA and cuDNN software stack have the fastest performance in training deep neural network algorithms.
That may not last forever, but it's the best in terms of dollars per TOPS an average DNN developer like myself has access to currently.
What's nVidia doing now?
Still not as bad as Hack Tran (CEO of: Broadcom/Vmware/CA/Symantec/Brocade), but close.
What did Jensen Huang do this time?
Is the leather motorcycle jacket part of his Jobsian uniform now?
Has been for years.
I believe that the shareholders are quite happy?
You guys have phones right?
Michael Gove?
Yeah he is taiwanese
Fuck himAnd Linux users
So he’s not all bad, and let’s be honest it doesn’t take much. Did he suggest using light mode, or tabs instead of spaces?
If those kids weren't busy troubleshooting driver issues, they'd be very upset.
i don't know a damn thing about linux, but that seems like something that would happen
as a daily linux user, this is pretty funny.
especially when I'm also a daily Windows user who fights against Windows update downgrading drivers.
