I now do some work with computers that involves making graphics cards do computational work on a headless server. The computational work it does has nothing to do with graphics.
The name is more for consumers based off the most common use for graphics cards and why they were first made in the 90s but now they’re used for all sorts of computational workloads. So what are some more fitting names for the part?
I now think of them as ‘computation engines’ analagous to a old car engine. Its where the computational horsepower is really generated. But how would ram make sense in this analogy?
Graphics cards.
Crypto Cultists and AI Evangelists found a
wasteful and often uselessdifferent function for them.Not just crypto and AI fucktards tho.
Theorethical physicists, astrophysicists, nuclear engineers, mechanical engineers, and countless other professions depend on the computational capabilities it provides.
Don’t let your anger and bitterness blindside you into thinking it’s for all the bullshit.
You got anger and bitterness from that? It was just a tongue in cheek comment lol no need to project my dude.
You know it’s not 1990. Calling people “retarded” is not cool.
And of course you have to be missing my point entirely. I didn’t say to not have the anger and bitterness, but instead to not turn it against the ones that have nothing to do with it.
But I’m not angry or bitter so why would I turn it against anybody…? You’re getting a lot more out of this than I’m putting into it. This isn’t inferring, this is misrepresenting.
Well not everyone in the machine learning space is an AI Bro, either. Many (most?) researchers see Altman et al. as snake-oil grifters.
Same with the P2P/networking junkies. They didn’t ask for a mountain of pyramid schemes.
