Dice el Youtuber #A1RM4X que los controladores de #Intel para sus gráficas Arc dejan mucho que desear. No lo recomienda para jugar. No valora la potencia de esas GPUs. Habla, claro, del controlador que no saca rendimiento que debería. Qué decepción con Intel, oye.

Aquí hace una comparativa interesante entre #AMD y #NVIDIA. Me parece bastante objetivo y sabe de lo que habla.

Optcast is an implementation of a reduction server written in #Rust, specifically designed for enhanced performance in distributed machine learning environments utilizing the #NVIDIA NCCL library for the AllReduce collective operation. Although still in its prototype stage, Optcast has achieved a 50% speed improvement in NCCL's AllReduce operation under certain conditions.

Question is there any better way to share a url from #eww to here w/o bookmarking it 1st and then copying it?

#Trump administration backs off #Nvidia's #H20 chip crackdown after Mar-a-Lago dinner, NPR reports:

> The planned American export controls on the H20 had been in the works for months, according to the two sources, and were ready to be implemented as soon as this week.

> The change of course from the White House came after Nvidia promised the Trump administration new U.S. investments in #AI data centers, according to one of the sources.

I setup #systemd-boot on my computer, but there were a couple of annoyances:

  • The #kernel isn't signed for whatever reason. I wired in sbctl sign to the install script, but that wasn't completely straightforward.

  • Since #Windows is installed in a separate #EFI (because Windows likes to fuck up the entire EFI partition sometimes) it couldn't "see" the Windows Boot Manager. I copied it to the other partition, but it will have to be manually updated whenever Microsoft changes it. Maybe that doesn't happen that often idk.

Side problem is that #Ubuntu's nvidia-lowlatency kernel isn't set up to reject unsigned modules, so it's a bit of a security hole, but also means that I don't have to figure out getting #DKMS to use the correct key. Right now I don't have a dependency on a DKMS-built driver. I used to use one for my dock and NVidia, but it seems that #NVidia doesn't need it now? and I don't use the video in my dock anymore because the #DisplayLink driver is annoying regardless of secure boot issues, because it doesn't work from power on. This isn't a problem with Linux, just DisplayLink in general.

@pafurijaz Hi! Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!
