> Nvidia's Blackwell cluster, which will come with eight GPUs, pulls down 15kW of power. That's 15,000 watts of power. Divided by eight, that's 1,875 watts per GPU.
What? A house consumes 400W/hour most of the time. Blackwell consumes 37.5 times MORE than a house!
Put another way: you can either power Blackwell for 1 hour, or your house for… 1.5 DAY.
TUXEDO Atlas rethinks the classical desktop computer: walnut front application, glass side panel. Fits seamlessly into your living room or work environment.
I made good progress on the #AI collaboration project with @Jorvon_Moss over the weekend. The #Nvidia Orin Nano boots up the servers and WiFi hotspot automatically. You just need to run Hopper Chat on the #RaspberryPi. No internet required! #LLM#ChatGPT
Datensparsames Android mit der Android Debug Bridge. Teil 3: Weitere Geräte und Plattformen
Die an einem Samsung Stock-ROM beschriebenen Methoden aus den ersten beiden Teilen werden auf Google Pixel und Xiaomi Smartphones, Android TV und einen Tolino Ebook-Reader angewandt, teils mit mehr, teils mit weniger Erfolg.
Modern Linux reminds me of when I started using Linux ca. 2 decades ago.
The graphics server randomly crashing without any usable error message, all applications have different font scaling and style. Screen recording not working (let alone individual windows recording), having to re-login for gaming, desktop menu has no proper icons support etc.
My last thing is starting log-running terminal tasks in a #tmux session because I know that at some point the GUI just stops working and drops me to the login prompt.
Shout out to #NVIDIA for finally producing a usable, playable, tear-free GPU experience on #Wayland#Linux, only 3 short years after I paid a lot of money for my RTX3070 laptop! #NVK did it first though! I have GRUB set up to be able to select between the two drivers and am excited to see both of them progressing. NVIDIA 555 Beta drivers with the nvidia-beta AUR package.
I'm not actually hoping for AMD and Intel to overtake NVIDIA in the GPU market. I'd rather see their integrated GPUs get so good that we don't need dedicated GPUs anymore.
Just installed #xwayland 24.1! Now to wait for the new version of the #Nvidia drivers. This is part of why I installed an Arch-based distro, I don't want to wait six months to two years between significant updates, I don't have that much extra time to spare in my life for reasons outside me and my body that shouldn't exist but do exist in this world and I don't want to waste it waiting around for new versions of stuff.
If you pick up one of the #Nvidia Orin boards, definitely get an SSD to go along with it. While it can run off an SD card, you’re going to run out of space quickly, and you’ll see a performance hit on complex tasks (like running a local #LLM). #EdgeAI#ai
#NVK news: Support for DRM format modifiers has landed & will be part of the upcoming Mesa 24.1 release It's last piece required to support GameScope and is important to making Zink+NVK a robust #OpenGL solution. Read more: http://col.la/drmnvk#NVIDIA#Vulkan#OpenSource
If you are using :manjaro: #Manjaro or :arch: #Arch and you have #Nvidia graphics card, and you updated to Plasma 6, you are up for a nasty surprise, as after typing your password to login, you will get into a black screen. It seems X11 doesn't have this issue, but Wayland is completely toasted!
The only solution I found is to create /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf and put these two lines in it:
