Rekall is a company that provides memory implants of vacations, where a client can take a memory trip to a certain planet and be whoever they desire.

  • Jensen [Huang] laments buying Mercedes for his parents with Nvidia stock that would be worth $1.33 billion today — founder cashed out some stock after 1999 IPO to buy his parents a $135,000 S-Class

  • I have no issues with Huang buying a $10 K leather jacket or him buying a $20 K designer dress for his wife. It's his right. Whatever, it's not that big of a deal.

    But the whole conservation about the worth of the S-Class in 1999 is honestly bordering on full on degeneracy.

  • This is how we know American oligarchs have crossed the metaphorical event horizon.

    I will note that you'll never find a russian oligarch complaining about buying their parents/relatives a nice house or whatever in 1999 that could have been invested into something else. It is a very human thing to buy your parents something nice when you have a windfall of money (irrespective of who you are and what your ethical framework is like).

    On the other hand, Huang's theorycrafting about investing the 1999 cost of the S-class shows a lack of humanity. One could argue it is a sign of mental illness or severe maladjustment somewhat comparable to having a long term heroin addiction. Huang has more than enough resources for the S-class cost to never even cross his mind and yet he publicly brought it up in a very pompous and almost child-like manner.

  • Apple once again rumored to partner with Intel for chip manufacturing

  • Apple using Intel as a fab is an interesting development.

    FWIW, the headline used the term "manufacturing", which to me implies fabrication (more so than design).

  • Sounds extremely stupid, but what do I know? My primary computing platform is a dual monitor desktop.

  • Google begins offering free SAT practice tests powered by Gemini

    Jump

  • I remember practicing for the SAT ~20 years ago. I hated it, other exams could be somewhat interesting, it felt like it was designed to be a chore.

    Back then, my family ordered very expensive practice books (kids didn't usually take SAT exams in the country I was living in). I don't know what the situation is now, but this actually seems like a good use of LLMs.

  • 'We can't completely vacate the client market' says Intel amid wafer supply shortages — Nova Lake still on-track for late 2026 release, 14A in 2028

  • Heatsinked, but I still feel like some of the early PCIe 4.0 SSDs are less refined than later 4.0/5.0 models.

    I am not dropping the speeds (I do video stuff as a hobby and it helps).

  • I have a pretty well ventilated case that I clean regularly, I think the case temp is fine. The early PCIe 4.0 SSD is what I am most worried about.

  • For real, I can't see me moving off my AM4 build for another ~3 years at least. Thankfully it works pretty well, except the 5800X is starting to show its age.

  • Ryzen 7 9850X3D will be $30 more than the 9800X3D and launches on January 29, listings are already live

  • When questioned about the rock-and-hard-place situation these users are in, McAfee stated that AMD "[is] certainly looking at everything that [it] can do to bring more supply and kind of reintroduce products back into the [AM4] ecosystem to satisfy the demands of gamers that maybe want that significant upgrade in their AM4 platform without having to rebuild their entire system", further adding that he thinks this is "definitely something [AMD is] very actively working on."

    It looks like they are considering some sort of AM4 release, doesn't mean it will be with X3D cache.

  • Is this confirmed? I am not seeing any official confirmation from AMD.

  • B580 tips

    Jump

  • It's been a while since I've tuned GPUs, and that too was an ancient laptop 760M (modded BIOS to unlock core and memory clock, I used the laptop as a desktop and it had additional cooling), the general impression I get is that tuning with modern computer hardware is a case of diminishing returns (RAM OC notwithstanding).

    That being said, do you have something specific in mind? Running the GPU cool and quiet? Getting the most out of it irrespective of power consumption? Don't have any experience with Arc (only had shit-tier intel iGPUs from before 2020), but I think this would help people answer your question.

  • Kioxia exec says the AI boom means the era of the cheap 1TB SSD is over —company's NAND supply is sold out for this year and likely through 2027

  • It might take a while. And one might end up in a situation where there will be other things to worry about if the collapse of the AI bubble wrecks the economy.

  • NVIDIA’s Laptop Chips, After a Long-Awaited Build-Up, Are Set to Debut This Year By Q2; N1/N1X SoCs to Challenge x86 Supremacy

    Jump

  • Sure, but overwhelming majority of people buy Macbooks because of the design and ecosystem, not because of unified memory.

    Of course it doesn't require desktop-level cooling and power availability, but chances are if you're not running MacOS (which has a broad set of use cases, including ones where unified memory is not the key adoption driver), you do want to make use of the additional power and cooling. That's why I cited the Nvidia Spark, the Framework desktop and the AMD-based mini-PCs with unified memory). There is a reason why Framework, known for making laptops, went with a desktop solution for a unified memory desktop.

    I am willing to bet, Nvidia is not going to offer large memory sizes on their N1 SoC, they want people to buy the Spark and that's not their target area.

  • AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns

  • I wouldn't trust a local LLM solution from a large American company. Not saying that they would try to "pull a quick one", but they are unreliable and corrupt.

    Jump

  • Nadella maybe knows a lot more than any of us about LLMs/GenAI tech, but one doesn't need to know anything about LLMs (or even technology) to know that an oligarch like Nadella cannot be trusted (in any context).

    Jump

  • I don't mean restrict, I am talking more about market demand.

    Desktops are a bettee fit in terms of cooling and power availability for long throughout tasks (not burst type use cases).

    These is a reason why both Framework and Nvidia have released desktops with large unified memory options (as well as many smaller mini-pc manufacturers) and not laptops.

  • Thanks for the suggestion, I am so not looking forward to moving the family off Nova (lots of tech support), but it must be done.
