>>107646805I've been considering getting one as my next GPU since I'm using Linux now and the PC building thread recommends it. It's much cheaper than an NVIDIA card too. I forgot to mention in my other post I was looking at the GPU benchmarks specifically in the OP post where the AMD GPUs rank really low there, I guess they weren't fair to AMD with setting it up correctly.
>>107646805>>107646905>but why do you fags want to convince people they have no choice/optionsif you want the headache of dealing with an amd card then go ahead but if you wanted a card specifically for AI it doesn't make sense to choose the inferior option
>>107646905>GPU benchmarks specifically in the OP post where the AMD GPUs rank really low thereI wouldn't put much stock in these because they're testing on Windows 11, which is a retarded decision for AI benchmarks. AMD's Windows support for AI is very new right now, and buggy compared to their Linux support.However, if you look at each individual benchmark on that page, the XTX ranks decently on everything but their Hires.Fix benchmarks, especially the 4K one. I have no idea what their bench setup is, but it looks like they ran into a bug in their AMD implementation that they didn't bother to fix. The Hires.Fix 4K benchmark isn't representative of real use.I also don't know what's going on with the 9070 XT perf. That card has fewer CUs than the XTX, but also has newer arch that should perform better per CU. I suspect the support for that card is less mature than for the XTX. But ultimately, 16GB is NOT enough for AI no matter if it's AMD or Nvidia. I recommend you do whatever it takes to get 24GB VRAM as a minimum, and fast, before GPU prices triple like RAM prices did.>>107646937>if you want the headache of dealing with an amd cardit works on my machine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯>if you wanted a card specifically for AI it doesn't make sense to choose the inferior optionthat's the thing. I want to use this GPU for multiple things: desktop linux, open source drivers, linux gaming, and AI. Nvidia is worse than AMD at all of those except for AI.
>>107646805>AMD is actively fixing and optimizing it.That's great but I'm always skeptical on ever switching back to AMD for gpu's. Their drivers/software have sucked my entire life and are always a mile behind nvidia in every respect but these prices are starting to make me consider amd again after this shit ass ram shortage is over.
>>107646805AMD's also released Windows preview drivers/packages for ROCm and PyTorch in recent months for newer hardware, so running on Windows is getting easier as well. (Just don't let Adrenalin "update" the special 25.20.x driver to a 25.12.x driver...)For dedicated GPUs:https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon-ryzen/en/docs-7.1.1/docs/advanced/advancedrad/windows/comfyui/installcomfyui.htmlFor APUs:https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon-ryzen/en/docs-7.1.1/docs/advanced/advancedryz/windows/comfyui/installcomfyui.html(The first link inside this link is broken, but the second one works.)The two sets of instructions look basically the same, other than a venv creation step being spelled out in the latter.
> Web developers are not real programmers.How do you respond?
>>107644081jblow aka naysayer pessimistic asshole galore is just seething and he's wrong, webdevs have a more difficult job because they usually directly deal with customer data instead of his game which can crash and do whatever the fuck
>>107646493And that's what no one did.
a programmer programs things, web developers do that but for the web
>>107640263Web developers empowered his speech to reach the entire world. It's a much more impressive feat that his offline single player puzzle game that took him a decade to "program".
>a programmer is a person who writes computer programs>web systems are programs running on computersI mean, you could argue that they're 'bad' programmers, but they're actual programmers. Just grab a fucking dictionary.
The team collected videos where creators show an on-screen gamepad overlay to train the AI. NitroGen learned to map gameplay pixels to gamepad actions. It currently only works with controller based games. nitrogen.minedojo.org
>>107647417Why does nvidia promotes their AI by showing it play rocket league?
This is some cuck stuff, cuckvidia is irredeemable at this point
Just looked and it's actually pretty small. Would be neat to pipe in with another AI and have it 'play' with you.But as usual I see not monetizeable route for this, unless it's good at being finetuned to other games and thus used as AI.

So now that I have a "Ryzen AI™" laptop, what can I actually use it for? All of the marketing was about adobe slop, but I really don't care about generative ai.
Hijacking the thread because its garbage.what do you think about Dell Pro 14 Premium, is it worth it over a for example apple laptop?

What's your take on 14 inch screens?

>>107647005Is OpenBSD a good choice for servers?
>>107647365For many reasons yes. It comes with a very easy to use (and effective) firewall, has all unnessecary daemons disabled by default, has pledge and unveil for sandboxing applications, and is constantly being audited for security issues. It also comes with a lot of documentation and homegrown software that is easy to configure. Releases are stable but whenever a new security problem is found all you have to do is run syspatch and then it's taken care of, you don't have to upgrade anything. However if you're running a server that will recieve a lot of traffic FreeBSD may be a better choice, it has jails, ZFS, the fastest network stack of any OS, and a bigger ports tree. A deficiency of OpenBSD is its lack of support for journaling filesystems. You could use FreeBSD as a load balancer and OpenBSD as a backend if you find that you like OpenBSD, maybe by running it in bhyve.

>>107646954>hurr, why is there so much China propaganda itt!?>*attach idiotic western propaganda article, that you have to be braindead to believe*This is why everybody hates you and cheers upon your slow and steady collaps
>>107647286It's a sham democracy... a show put on to give legitimacy to the oligarchy, which lacks leadership vision and only knows how to act parasitically. The Chinese oligarchy is winning the mandate of heaven because they're building new shit. Mega cities, high speed rail, dominating manufacturing, etc.The corrupt jewish oligarchy in America only knows how to suck value away from systems which were built by previous generations. And they know collapse is coming, which is why they want to force everybody into "you will own nothing and be happy" digital ID techno-feudalism and slavery. They're just going to stifle everything and tighten the screws to maintain their grip on power.

I once tried to learn C++ but so many things just sucked:The syntax, headder files, 1000 ways to do the same thing, the ((meta-)meta-) "build" system(s) and overall the feeling of the language:It is like someone had continuously updated his hobby project without concerning other users.I want to learn a modern language instead and chose Zig out of Rust or Zig as Rust seemed gay-coded to me.Is it a good decision to learn Zig? Will Zig stay?
>>107645966>I is also compatible with C/C++No they removed that. Also, the zig compiler has never successfully built the full version of itself. It can still only be bootstrapped.
for low level languages, you benefit heavily by being (very) familiar with C semantics. This applies doubly so for meme languages because you will eventually want to interface with C libraries due to sheer volumeknowing about some of c++'s warts also helps, because features are often motivated by what went wrong in c++
>>107645788Zig is just so superior, but you should learn and master C first.
>>107645966>I have heard that Zig has growing adoption in new languages.zig is growing (barely) because it exists. there is hardly any new (non-meme) players entering the game. maybe a couple of currently pre-alpha projects will grow into some relevancy...eventually. otherwise, for people looking for something new and almost ready for v1.0, zig is all they got.
im learning zig by making a small game engine. its comfier and less trannycoded than rust

Do basic normie-tier MicroSD cards have any sort of wear-levelling?>using old ass scanner that scans direct to an inserted SD or microSD card which the machine takes (formatted to FAT32, unencrypted of course)>scans are often sensitive documents>decide it's better to wipe the card each time so there are no remaining traces>only card I have is a 128GB microSD card by mixza (although mine isn't a shark it's a jeeta)>writing 128GB just to overwrite a few MB each time seems a waste>think to self "I could just create a smaller ~1GB partition and thus reduce the writes by over 100 times!">but then I thought "What if it has wear-levelling, and even if I fully overwrite the 1GB partition, the data might have moved somewhere to the rest of the card, so it's still there after the partition wipe???"So yeah, do I need to buy a dedicated small capacity card just for this?
>>107647297Yes. All uSD cards have a FTL with wear leveling. If you try to use FAT on dumb QLC flash you'll have noticeable problems pretty much immediately.
>>107647018It's 2025 but I still need a mail for some basic stuff. I want to say goodbye to my Hotmail account due to Microsoft's bad choices, looking for something more private.

Mailbox.org is located in Germany too, but you have to pay even for the most basic plan.Are these the only choices worth considering? Any thoughts on Atomic Mail?
