  • What do you mean?

    It’s been slowing down for years and is now about as dead as a 90 year old in a coma. Or it just was confirmed dead and is therefore about as dead as a 90 year old with no heartbeat.

    We haven’t gotten advancements anywhere near the pace of previous generations. None of the small improvements are from a significant increase in capacity, but from a messy unstable variety of things that often at other costs just push the limits of the limit, which we’ve clearly reached. I personally have to undervolt mine and just hope it doesn’t crash, and I don’t use the AI frames because it looks bad. It’s a mess.

    The hardware is strained and the picture is fucking stained.

    It’s not Moore’s law that will describe any increased performance from here. It’s other things. Personally I want to see significantly larger consumer GPUs as we admit we cannot scale down to fit more anymore.

    It probably can’t just be ATX from here.

    I’d like to see significant improvements in the build in general while we scale up. These expensive parts shouldn’t be connected by cheap shitty connectors that are so tough to seat and unseat that it jeopardizes the parts.

    Also, no more floating GPUs, formalize a standard solution to support the far end properly, even if it scales up to the size of a fucking longboard and the weight of a car tire. Have a plan and include the parts to fully support it.

    This period of custom loose-sitting GPU support pillars has been pathetic. I recently moved and cut a toilet paper roll in half and taped it to the bottom of the case to prevent any bump from dislodging the GPU during transport, as is a known (and accepted) problem. I fucking hated doing that.










  • Fuck you.

    You don’t get to hide behind this and stay cordial. You don’t get to excuse indifference and tolerance of forcefully overruling the deathwish of the suffering.

    Your opinion means nothing. It’s fleeting, performative and inconsequential. You’re still accepting the restraints put upon the people who wish to die.

    You personally are fine with people who restrain people who suffer and want to die to end it. You are fine with the enforcers of natural death being unyielding to the will of the restrained.

    You don’t really give a shit.

    You’re only temporarily acting like you’re on the right side because we’re currently having a conversation about it and the right and wrong of it is kind of obvious for the most part.

    Public opinion overrules law if the public really cares. If it doesn’t, it’s not a democracy.

    The public doesn’t care to right this wrong. You don’t care.
