Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Pphilb2 replied to the thread Is A.I. Replacing Tech Workers or Providing an Excuse for Job Cuts?.Agreed. I think that includes running LLMs on your desktop for relatively simple tasks. Probably need a GPU with 16GB VRAM.

Like.
Can confirm this was happening. Companies would just hire someone for 6 figures to starve any competing startups of talent. AI is having some effect in some places but the vast majority of these stories of wildly increased efficiency are a lie... -
Pphilb2 reacted to DukenukemX's post in the thread NVIDIA "Vera" CPU Benchmarked: Beating Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC with Like.
CPU architecture doesn't really matter in this day in age, besides compatibility. ARM is in a funny situation because yes anyone can license ARM, but not everyone will advance ARM's design. Not only that but ARM is now making their own chips...

Pphilb2 replied to the thread NVIDIA "Vera" CPU Benchmarked: Beating Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC.An open ISA for x86 would accomplish a lot. Then the Samsungs of the world can support that market, innovate, etc.

Y'all are cute. You think that this will actually be sold to the public with Jensen out there like "you'll get to RENT your own compute power"?

Pphilb2 replied to the thread Is A.I. Replacing Tech Workers or Providing an Excuse for Job Cuts?.May be a dumb/noob question. What about running AI on desktop systems? Let's say your GPU is 8, or mayb 12-16 GB. What kind of models can you run locally? Does GPU memory determine the number of tokens you can use? I hope some smart...

Pphilb2 replied to the thread NVIDIA "Vera" CPU Benchmarked: Beating Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC.Which implies that there is a low switching cost for datacenters from ARM-based processors back to x86, really x64

Pphilb2 replied to the thread NVIDIA "Vera" CPU Benchmarked: Beating Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC.And what if AMD and Intel decide that licensing the instruction set is in their best long-term interest? And if that new licensee is innovative enough to propose new instructions? On what basis do you say this? IF X86 processors were improved...

Pphilb2 replied to the thread NVIDIA "Vera" CPU Benchmarked: Beating Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC.So how long before we will need motherboards to support ARM processors? Will enough Windows application be ported over? Can AI do a decent job of porting code over to ARM?

Pphilb2 replied to the thread Is A.I. Replacing Tech Workers or Providing an Excuse for Job Cuts?.I always hated it when I got laid off from my tech job, always during a business downturn or after the "tecyh bubble" burst in 2000-2001.

Yeah, this is rather bothersome to me. The personal computer market, particularly customizing and building machines is a large part of who I am and who I have been for the last 35 years. The potential of that going away makes me sick to my...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but....doesn't AMD kinda have to do this? AMD doesn't have the foothold in AI like Nvidia does. I imagine (don't have reliable data for this) that PC part sales volume has gone down in the last 9 months given prohibitive...

I know this one liner is totally cliche at this point, but this is one place it probably belongs: "If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing"
