have a gtx 6700 gpu which should be plenty overkill for cs2. But ive heard cs2 is processor heavy.

I don’t know which game you’re playing, not sure what CS2 is, as some other folks mention. However, if you install mangohud and run it via mangohud <gamename> — if this is Steam, in the game’s Launch Options, that’ll be “mangohud %command%” — it’ll show you CPU and GPU load in an overlay on top of your game.

EDIT: Example:

I mean, they did make a lot of money, but they also had an extremely high valuation.

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/NVDA/nvidia/pe-ratio

NVIDIA PE ratio as of November 20, 2025 is 48.45.

Something like 20 is typical for a mature company. Tech companies have, in the past, often had higher ratios, but that’s based on their expectation to grow a lot rapidly, and expecting NVidia to dramatically grow from their current — already very high — valuation is asking a lot.

If NVidia were a small tech company that was doing well and clearly had a lot of market to expand into rapidly, that would be one thing.

I think that in general, the market has been pretty good to NVidia. Their share price is up 31.22% since the start of the year. 1,247% over the past five years.

all GPUs are sold out

looks incredulous, goes to look at text

all its data center GPUs were sold out during the quarter

Yeah, that’s not the same thing, Tom’s Hardware, and that’s not a reasonable shortening of the text.

There’s Mono. I don’t know what portion of .NET compatibility issues that addresses in 2025.

Thanks for adding it!

Meta’s chief AI scientist and Turing Award winner Yann LeCun plans to leave the company to launch his own startup focused on a different type of AI called “world models,” the Financial Times reported.

World models are hypothetical AI systems that some AI engineers expect to develop an internal “understanding” of the physical world by learning from video and spatial data rather than text alone.

Sounds reasonable.

That being said, I am willing to believe that an LLM could be part of an AGI. It might well be an efficient way to incorporate a lot of knowledge about the world. Wikipedia helps provide me with a lot of knowledge, for example, though I don’t have a direct brain link to it. It’s just that I don’t expect an AGI to be an LLM.

EDIT: Also, IIRC from past reading, Meta has separate groups aimed at near-term commercial products (and I can very much believe that there might be plenty of room for LLMs here) and aimed advanced AI. It’s not clear to me from the article whether he just wants more focus on advanced AI or whether he disagrees with an LLM focus in their afvanced AI group.

I do think that if you’re a company building a lot of parallel compute capacity now, that to make a return on that, you need to take advantage of existing or quite near-future stuff, even if it’s not AGI. Doesn’t make sense to build a lot of compute capacity, then spend fifteen years banging on research before you have something to utilize that capacity.

Meta reveals US$600bn plan to build AI data centres, expand energy projects and fund local programmes through 2028

So Meta probably cannot only be doing AGI work.

There’s also istheservicedown.com, but it also appears to rely on CloudFlare.

There’s isitdownrightnow.com, which appears not to use CloudFlare.

Took down Framework’s website, which I was using.

It’s back up now.

!actuallyinfuriating

Ah, yeah, thanks, though the community name is incorrect (needs an underscore) and is missing the instance name.

Just keep in mind that the long run trend for storage prices is pretty strongly downwards; that’s a log-scale graph.

Are we okay with the “mildly infuriating” community becoming a “news that really upset me” community?

Note that Reddit’s /r/MildlyInfuriating spawned /r/ActuallyInfuriating for stuff that is more severe.

Searching on lemmyverse.net shows that we do have an /r/ActuallyInfuriating analog at !actually_infuriating@lemmy.world.

Maybe the community mods might consider putting it in the sidebar? @Aer@lemmy.world, @Striker@lemmy.world, @Tenthrow@lemmy.world?

The cases of old ones are on eBay, as I mention in another comment.

And it looks like someone has made ATX mounting kits.

Good point!

I admit I’m using my 1,1 as an extra seat in the office, but it’s form of use.

And I bought it back in 2006

Looks like non-functional 2006 Mac Pros are on eBay for $60. Cheaper than an office chair!

IIRC from past reading, they ramped up capacity during a prior shortage like a decade back or something and then ate a bunch of losses when the shortage ended.

Hmm.

Looks like there might have been a more-recent glut than that:

Samsung to extend production cuts after $7 billion chip loss in first half

July 27, 2023 12:18 AM PDT Updated July 27, 2023

SEOUL, July 27 (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics said the worst is over for the global memory chip market but announced plans to extend production cuts because a demand recovery is largely constrained to high-end chips used in artificial intelligence. The move underscores the unprecedented semiconductor downturn that led the South Korean firm to incur a record 8.9 trillion won ($7 billion) operating loss from its bread-and-butter chip business in the first six months of this year.

So just over two years ago they were coming out of a money-losing period.

Memory makers have no plans to increase RAM production despite crushing memory shortages — ‘modest’ 2026 increase predicted as DRAM makers hedge their AI bets

No relief in sight for RAM buyers.

but Project Prometheus has already hired 100 employees, poaching several from firms like OpenAI, DeepMind and Meta, according to the Times.

I think that one problem with all this spending is that there are only so many people with relevant experience in the area. If wages are high enough, the market will send more over time, but that isn’t instantaneous.

Reading these comments, I have to say that a number of users of this community have very strong views on batteries.

Like, I would not have expected as many people to get upset as did in a discussion over batteries.

You do if you want it to connect to the thing you’re playing on.

Unless you’re ok with a shitty Bluetooth connection. But I’m guessing few people comparatively are using that, at least as their primary use case.

Okay, but I think that that kind of misses the broader context. This only came up as a hypothetical for how one could discharge a controller. If you’re playing on a wired connection, then the console is charging thr controller and the issue never comes up in the first place.
