It certainly does.

Until last week, you absolutely NEEDED an NVidia GPU equipped with CUDA to run all AI models.

Today, that is simply not true. (watch the video at the end of this comment)

I watched this video and my initial reaction to this news was validated and then some: this video made me even more bearish on NVDA.

Edit: corrected and redacted.

True. Thats why I tend to make small plays instead of being an absolute degenerate gambler.

Rape.

The reason for the correction is that the “smart money” that breathlessly invested billions on the assumption that CUDA is absolutely required for a good AI model is suddenly looking very incorrect.

I had been predicting that AMD would make inroads with their OpenCL but this news is even better. Reportedly, DeepSeek doesn’t even necessarily require the use of either OpenCL or CUDA.

Rape

Even if they get banned, any startup could replicate their work if it is truly open source. The best thing about their solution is that it breaks the CUDA monopoly that NVDA has enjoyed. Buy your puts when NVDA bounces because that stock is GOING DOWN. There’s no world where a company that makes GPU’s is worth more than both Apple and Microsoft. It’s inevitable.

I’d go with NixOS in impermanence mode coupled with home-manager and a NixOS service that does the backup “cron job” that another poster talked about (just in case).

Even if she somehow managed to brick the system, you could completely restore it within minutes to the EXACT state you left it in using just these three or four Nix tools. Hell, she could even do it herself by rebooting and selecting a previous config at the start screen. All she needs to do is be able to press down and enter.

home-manager for NixOS has escaped your notice. ALL of my dot files are declared in my nix-config.

Furthermore, this module would likely complete the possibility of building a grandma-proof immutable OS complete with immutable home folders: https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Impermanence

Ok.

To answer your rant: Morals are a social construct and can change based on situation. In other words: Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

I didn’t see where you asked us to write a paragraph where one word would suffice….But, I suppose I can write you a few more sentences to appease you.

Yes. There are many situations where violence is literally the only solution. For example, violence against those committing genocide against you is actually just self-defense.

Yes violence is sometimes the only answer.

Edit: in response to your original, much better title (that was 100% likely censored by the neolib respectability police running world.)

Look into one Mr. Frank Grillo for all of the things you seek.

He’s truly not very nice! In fact, he’s (IMO) the polar opposite of someone classy like the late Christopher Plummer (RIP) whom I got to work with on a feature years back.

Edit: or Anthony Hopkins who introduced himself to my friend as “Tony”.

I worked on a few movies with him.

Here’s the exact exchange I overheard between him and a PA on the set of Finestkind:

PA: “Can I get you anything, Mr. Jones?”

Tommy Lee Jones: “I’ll have some hot tea please.”

PA: “We have Oolong tea, Earl Grey, Green Tea, or would you like something else?”

Tommy Lee Jones: “I’d like a hot cup of too many fucking questions!”

So yeah. This is EXACTLY what he’s like. He does NOT put up with bullshit.

Again, everything I have said in this thread is in defense of free speech and anti-genocide. There are no red herrings here. I responded to all comments, matching the tone of the comment (except yours which literally violates the ToS of pretty much all of Lemmy).

I’m going to block you now. It’s clear that this is /u/corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca’s troll account and I deeply hurt your feelings with my previous responses. Have a nice life!

Xmonad user here. I have something like this in my config.

1. tone policing
2. grammar policing
3. word policing (thanks for that. I think scab is so much more fitting in this case)
4. tone policing

Do these types of comments ever get you anywhere? Now that you’ve thoroughly offended me, did you have a point to make? Or was your point just that no one should have free speech and should be punished irreparably and permanently for calling out injustice wherever they see it?

Speaking of which, do you ever attempt to vocalize these strangely despotic hot takes out loud to yourself and think, “am I a fascist?”
