No idea why you’re getting downvoted. HDMI 2.1 supports 10-bit 4k 144hz with no stream compression. So the answer, unequivocally, is that yes it can.

DisplayPort 1.4 requires DSC (stream compression) to do the same. DisplayPort 2.0/2.1 supports higher bandwidth but it is not common on displays at this point in time.

People have other understandable reasons for preferring DisplayPort over HDMI (Open vs. closed standards), but there is no disputing the fact that HDMI currently outclasses DisplayPort in terms of bandwidth and thus the limits of what kind of signals it can carry.

Lemmy is just bursting at the seams with miserable fucks like this.

I’ll make this simple for you: America did not want to be involved in the war that Japan forced them into. They were suffering mass casualties in the pacific theater. The Japanese were torturing US POWs and using suicide kamikaze attacks against US naval vessels which also resulted in huge numbers of casualties.

They figured nuking these guys a couple of times would finally get them to fucking stop, and what do you know? It did. Mission accomplished. End of story.

They were justified because doing that allowed them to finally stop getting killed and tortured by the nation that attacked them first. I too hate the fact that the Japanese imperial government put its people in such peril with so little regard for their safety.

Of course they were victims, but they were victims of their imperialist government at least as much as they were victims of the US if not more so. The Japanese military led an aggressive, savage campaign. They raped and brutalized with impunity. They tortured POWs with impunity. They carried out disgusting medical experiments and vivisections with zero humanity. Perhaps you are familiar with the rape of Nanking? Unit 731?

They sneak-attacked the US and pulled them into the war, and even after they were completely defeated they would. not. stop.

It’s a very complicated issue. Debate will go on forever about whether or not the US nuking Japan was the “right” choice. It will never end because it is based on hypotheticals about what might have happened in an alternate timeline, and what the true motivations behind it might have been.

One thing is very clear though: Japan’s government and their military were beat and they should have surrendered but they did not. Their military continued to operate their systematic campaign of torture and rape.

The US had atomic bombs and responded by using them. Was it the right thing to do? Who knows. Japan’s government fucked around, repeatedly, and their citizens found out.

Putting it all on the US is a level of cope beyond anything science could have imagined.

The selling point for M365 Copilot is that it is a turnkey AI platform that does not use data input by its enterprise customers to train generally available AI models. This prevents their internal data from being output to randos using ChatGPT. OpenAI definitely does use ChatGPT conversations to further train ChatGPT so there is a major risk of data leakage.

Same situation with all other public LLMs. Microsoft’s investments in OpenAI aren’t really relevant in this situation.

In your mind, do you really think that is the intention here? Seems more like a convenience for people who use both Linux and Windows.

I have to use both so I welcome it.

You would want to look for an R730, which can be had for not too much more. The 20 series was the “end of an era” and the 30 series was the beginning of the next era. Most importantly for this application, R30s use DDR4 whereas R20s use DDR3.

RAM speed matters a lot for ML applications and DDR4 is about 2x as fast as DDR3 in all relevant measurements.

If you’re going to offload any part of these models to CPU, which you 99.99% will have to do for a model of this size with this class of hardware, skip the 20s and go to the 30s.

Seems to me like they are targeting people who likely have access to assets that can be easily stolen and hard to track.

It’s in the MOTD. Very easy to permanently disable, but still annoying.
