NVIDIA's open-source conversion continues: more Blackwell and Hopper header files released, hot on the heels of last week's 12k line dump. At this rate, they'll be writing GPL licenses in their sleep 😴 The Nouveau/NVK devs are eating well!

news.slashdot.orgNVIDIA Makes More Hopper, Blackwell Header Files Open-Source - SlashdotNVIDIA has released additional open-source header files for its Blackwell and Hopper GPU architectures, continuing its effort to support open-source drivers like Nouveau/NVK and the NOVA Rust driver. Phoronix reports: Last week NVIDIA open-sourced 12k lines of C header files for Blackwell GPUs to h...

The only issues I had on #Linux fit on one hand and are solely the manufacturers being dicks:

Had a fun evening reapplying thermal paste on the CPU and GPU on my ten year old #laptop.

Several screw receivers fell out of the board when I took the heatsink off. While super gluing them back on I accidentally got the tiniest dab on the bare #GPU. Carefully applied an alcohol wipe for fifteen minutes to remove it. 😱

But now my gaming temperatures are lower than my idle temperatures were before, so that was all worth doing. 👍

"Like catastrophic brain damage"

"The move comes in response to an attack a team of academic researchers demonstrated against Nvidia’s RTX #A6000, a widely used #GPU for high-performance computing that’s available from many cloud services. A vulnerability the researchers discovered opens the GPU to Rowhammer, a class of attack that exploits physical weakness in DRAM chip modules that store data."

Nvidia’s RTX 50 launch is a mess: scalper-driven stock shortages, 12VHPWR connectors still melting, some cards ship with missing ROPs (≈-4 % perf), drivers keep breaking, and reviewers say they’re pressured to focus on DLSS/frame-gen instead of real raster FPS. Until pricing, QC & PR get fixed, AMD or Intel seem the saner buy. 👎

Sebin's BlogNVIDIA is full of shitSince the disastrous launch of the RTX 50 series, NVIDIA has been unable to escape negative headlines: scalper bots are snatching GPUs away from consumers before official sales even begin, power connectors continue to melt, with no fix in sight, marketing is becoming increasingly deceptive, GPUs are missing processing units when they leave the factory, and the drivers, for which NVIDIA has always been praised, are currently falling apart. And to top it all off, NVIDIA is becoming increasingly insistent that media push a certain narrative when reporting on their hardware.

NVIDIA's high-end GPUs are vulnerable to Rowhammer attacks - that old "weird memory bug" is back! 🔨 The twist? Your expensive GPU is only vulnerable if you don't enable the ECC protection that's already built in. It's like buying a Ferrari and forgetting to lock it. The fix is literally just flipping a switch. 💡

Schon mal jemand konkret überlegt, ne #GPU für Warmwasser-Bereitung bzw. Heizung zu nutzen? Am besten mit #PV natürlich, oder auch um Strompreisschwankungen zu nutzen. #Heizen mit #KI, oder ist das wieder zu offensichtlich, um es wirklich zu machen? 😆

Habe sogar Wakü-Zubehör zu Hause seit Jahern, weil ich das mal mit CPUs machen wollte. Ist aber wieder eingeschlafen mangels sinnvoller Verwendung der Rechenpower...

AP News · Nvidia becomes the first company to reach $4 trillion in valueSilicon Valley chipmaker Nvidia on Wednesday became the first publicly traded company to surpass a $4 trillion market valuation, putting the latest exclamation point on the investor frenzy surrounding an artificial intelligence boom powered by its industry-leading processors. The milestone reflects the upheaval being unleashed by artificial intelligence, or AI, which is widely viewed as the biggest tectonic shift in technology since Apple co—founder unveiled the first iPhone 18 years ago. Underscoring the changing of the guard, AI bellwether Nvidia is now worth $900 billion more than Apple.
