i mean, the chain here is still "AI" so it's not linked to anything real

I wouldn't link a stock price to anything real tbh

Even if AMD would still sell all the GPUs they make, I still think the "invest in AMD and make it worth more by improving its libraries" is still an easy path to make a profit, right? If AMD GPUs could suddenly run all the models that Nvidia GPUs could do, then AMD stock would just be worth more?
This would fuck the buyer even more (making the GPU shortage even worse, I think) but I do like the idea of having a Linux machine with an AMD GPU in the next 10 years.

So at the moment AMD is selling through as many graphics cards as they can make, so they don't specifically need this business. On a deeper level, for AMD all the silicon that goes into a consumer GPU is silicon that could have gone into a more profitable product. This is also true of nvidia tbh, but for AMD it's specifically their mobile products, consumer CPUs and enterprise CPUs.
So why does AMD make graphics cards at all? Shiping a high performance graphics architecture pays off down the product line, and eventually makes it into laptops, handhelds, and game consoles. I suspect this is why Intel is making graphics cards now, like I'd be shocked if there's any profit for them there at all but it could pay off in other products.
But yeah the bottom line is that the buyer is fucked. There's not a good reason for AMD to match nvidia on this type of spend (and it's gigantic, AMD does spend a lot and can barely handle gaming Lol. It's more than a dozen engineers!), so nvidia can charge what they want and screw over their partners as much as possible. I'm gonna hang onto my current parts for dear life.

Reply to comment by cowloom in File systems should detect when a file contains only alphanumeric text and reencode it so it takes less space on disk. (This post brought to you by the C en_US locale) by flabberghaster
Not if it's part of the filesystem spec; in that case, the other OS's driver should transparently en/decode it. That's why I said filesystems, not having this as a userspace conversion.

Could cause issues if the compressed text file has to be read by another operating system, like in a dual boot situation, or if it gets copied to a flash drive and plugged into a Winblows/Mac PC.

On Steam, you're better off playing with Proton than with the native Linux version because of how stable Win32's API is.
I'm not surprised their solution starts at "statically link almost everything". (It's the big thing that makes projects written in Rust or Go, which statically link in compile time, so ezpz to use.) I really appreciated this post :D

Reply to i feel im becoming increasingly neurotic. people liking me makes me feel sick to my stomach by I_got_killed_one_time
I've been thinking about your post a lot because it's something that I feel like I have felt very strongly in the past.
For what it's worth, I don't think you're an evil person or anything like that. If you feel apprehension and other difficult emotions when other people like you, those feelings are real and I empathize with you in grappling with them. But do remember that it does not mean they're wrong to like you.

I think the pandemic might have forced a big hit. For me, the social skills I had built up in the ~4 years leading up to lockdown were basically entirely wiped away by isolation.
I've been thinking a lot about ways communication was essential for day-to-day life, and how preferences wiped that away entirely. I became an adult when self-checkout was in every grocery store I'd been to. And those shitty kiosks that fast-food joints like Dunkin Donuts have are really nice, because they take away the time pressure of trying to make decisions by squinting at a distant menu that's constantly sliding and fading. But it also means another place where we can avoid actual human interaction.
Not to get Spiritual, but every consciousness is kind of an amazing thing? We're all wet, small, imperfect models of the universe around us, and when people come together, we make a bigger, wetter, more perfect model of the universe around us. When people say "math is beautiful" and "science is beautiful", it shares that same beauty that exists when people come together.
I grew up with people bemoaning downward trends which didn't actually exist. ("People are getting dumber!" no they weren't. "Crime is going up!" the numbers say otherwise.) But now the downward trends are real and the idea of people getting even worse at communicating is scary. But I think you're right and it's a downward trend that is also happening.

you gotta be direct at saying "I don't want to ___" at those to really make it tho
I'm curious, what fills in the ___? Normal "I don't want to drink", "I don't want to play that," or is there something Nefarious that goes on with board games?

Ahh that's not a bad reason. I would expect things to be well isolated from one another but you can't always be sure.
This is very off topic but I got my social neurons back by going to board game clubs.... tho you gotta be direct at saying "I don't want to ___" at those to really make it tho Lol. But it was good for me!
