Edward Snowden slams Nvidia's RTX 50-series 'F-tier value,' whistleblows on lackluster VRAM capacity

[bytejunk@lemmy.world]

Yes but that's from a company that builds decent cards at an acceptable price, and not from the HypeLords of the Lesser Return on Investment Unless You're a Farm.

(Getting ready for the downvotes!...)

What the fuck is wrong with this timeline.

Do the amish accept atheists?

I'll wait for the Julian Assange review.

[brucethemoose@lemmy.world]

I can’t see the context because it’s freaking X, but I bet that’s in reference to local ML hosting.

There’s a big movement to get away from corporate AI, and I don’t need to explain the importance of that to the Lemmy crowd. But Nvidia is indeed artificially crippling consumer VRAM to stop them from being used for that too much, and protect their enterprise GPU market.

The most bizzare thing is that AMD is somehow implicit even though they have like zero market share in that space. 48GB 7900s (and so on) would have obliterated Nvidia and sold like hotcakes, much less actually using their modular memory controller architecture… But no? They restricted their OEMs from doing that because they… Don’t want money, I guess.

Don't that distract you from that fact that 2025 Edward Snowden threw Nvidia's RTX 50 series off Hell In A Cell and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

[avieshek@lemmy.world]

You depend on the cloud instead~

[avieshek@lemmy.world]

AMD is much of a scum as Nvidia is or Intel was, that’s why DeepSeek is something that came from China and you would need a new player completely outside of the current chain.

[brucethemoose@lemmy.world]

I don’t see how that’s relevant, Deepseek was trained on, and served on, Nvidia hardware.

People are showing us who they really are when push comes to shove.

[rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee]

But then you lose out on a bunch of wrestling posts. And naked wrestling posts.

Snowden showing us he's a card reviewer

[0x0@programming.dev]

Intel Insider now that would've made for great whistleblowing headlines.

[0x0@programming.dev]

without demanding any of that information as payment?

Can Putin not read The Intercept?
Does Putin even need to?
Snowden deleted all traces of that stash once he delivered it to the reporters. He's in Russia 'cos it's a way for Putin to annoy the US.

[ivanafterall@lemmy.world]

Snowden added, "As someone who wants to sweep away corruption, there's a lot to like in the new ShamWow. And for those really tough, dirty stains, there's OXYCLEAN!!! With ShamWow and Oxyclean, you don't need to be Rushin'!"

[0x0@programming.dev]

I hope him and his family get to experience what they the wish upon Ukrainians

Ah yes, an eye for an eye, certainly the way to advance humanity.

[avieshek@lemmy.world]

DeepSeek is just a recent example to the usual Microsoft or Google or Apple aka Nvidia-AMD and now at most Intel. This is not about which GPU can run what.

[0x0@programming.dev]

What does me being or not being there have to do with anything?

So when others give their opinions (clearly identified as such) you demand evidence, but when you do the same you provide none? You're either a troll or an idiot, which is kinda sad 'cos most of the english-speakers here were actually trying to be rational for a change.
KTHXBYE

[brucethemoose@lemmy.world]

Deepseek is like an ant compared to OpenAI/Anthropic/Google, and they come from a completely different world, the actually competitive open LLM dev scene. I think this is a bad analogy, as AMD is not that small and new compared to Nvidia.

[alphane_moon@lemmy.world]

Propagandists are legitimate targets in a state of war. Your moralising is shallow and insincere.

[alphane_moon@lemmy.world]

Perfect example of the "Saint Snowden" syndrome. Denying reality to protect the innocence of your precious.
