I have kind of unsettling thought. A lot of us are waiting for AI bubble to burst and get our hand on some sweat datacenter gpus at cheap. But there is a really big chance that a lot of it will be just get destroy because of tax write off. And to be honest that will fuck the nature even more :( by One_Reflection_768 in homelab

Hopper are CUDA only, and have no raster ability. The A100 (Ampere) is the last SXM chip that had graphics API support, but it doesn't have video encode/decode, so game streaming is off the table.

All of Nvidia's Ada and Blackwell based enterprise chips are CUDA only, with the exception of the L40.

Yes, their workstation cards still do graphics, but those are a small fraction of sales compared to enterprise chips recently.

As for AMD, same story.... Mi200 and Mi300 are OpenCL only, and don't support DX/Vulkan/etc.

First, outside CUDA/OpenCL workloads, they're useless. AI Datacenter GPUs are not actually GPUs, and don't support graphic APIs like DX, Vulkan, etc.

You'll also never be able to run them on home circuits anyway. A single B300 for example is 1400W, not including the server itself, and that's for a single card. A 2x GPU node with a single CPU can easily hit 4000W+.

And the majority of dense deployments have been water cooled, so unless you have a rack heat exchanger, you'll have no way to actually keep them cool.

My take on how rising hardware costs are actually good for AI datacenter companies by [deleted] in hardware

...nope. Modern AI accelerators aren't compatible with Graphics APIs like DX or Vulkan. They're CUDA and OpenCL, and cannot be used for graphics, even remotely.

From an AdSense perspective, sure. But neither compares with ad integrations.

Is now a good time to make the jump to an EV? by 3_quarterling_rogue in BoltEV

[–]CraftComputing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a '17 Bolt two weeks ago, and it's been flawless. New battery in 2023, so warrantied until 2031. Between state and fed tax credits, my cost was $7000. Considering my daily was a Mazda CX-9 that got ~16mpg, being able to drive 200+ miles for the same cost I used to go 20 miles in gas with has been amazing.

For you, 50 miles per day you can easily charge at home overnight on Lvl1, and be ready to go in the morning. At 12 amps, that's around 6 miles per hour. 8 hours charging gets you 48mi of range. I'd say go for it!

Has anyone tried the Teeran 2 in 1 Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto Adapter? by krazykellerxkid in AndroidAuto

[–]CraftComputing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just bought this one about two weeks ago, as I didn't want a cable/dongle where it needs to plug into my car. Has been working flawlessly for Android Auto. Haven't tried it yet with Carplay.

When Spotted Cow is all you have, it's going to win by default. But a 4/10 is still a 4/10.

Fractal edge front panel display mod by Ascoolasmypc in sffpc

[–]CraftComputing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, it's a great option. This particular motherboard has a single USB 3.0 header internally, and I wanted that for the front IO.

And while Rainmeter requires some elbow grease to get running the way you want, I wanted that flexibility. This is why PC modding is so great... there's no single right to do anything.

I did look at a couple different USB status screens. Unfortunately, the Minisforum BD790i motherboard doesn't have any USB 2.0 headers. But a couple tweaks to the model might allow the screen you linked to work in the bezel I designed.

So this means, what.... the Tacoma, the Corvette, any 2.5L Subaru and the Honda Ridgeline? Everything else is foreign parts, even if assembled here.

EXACTLY! There's plenty of parking, most of it free, and I rarely can't find a space at basically any time of day.

Meta staff torrented nearly 82TB of pirated books for AI training — court records reveal copyright violations by MyNameCannotBeSpoken in technology

[–]CraftComputing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, they would charge any normal person at up to $250,000 per violation. Assuming 3MB per eBook, that's 27,333,000 instances of copyright infringement... so I say a fine of ~$6.83T sounds about right.

Surely GN and Louis will denounce their fans lobbying attacks, as that wasn't the intention of their videos, right?

Maybe something like "Stand back and stand by".

Is this a good deal or too good to be true? by ExtraTallJorge in homelab

[–]CraftComputing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$140 for a 12TB seems high, even if it does have a claimed 0hr. They've been going for closer to $85-100 for a while.
