It's not going to get to MSRP. As long as Nvidia is making higher profit margins elsewhere, gaming is going to be on the back burner.

The 40 series hasn't reached MSRP. It's no accident.

Stuff like this is why I don't get an Xbox account.

Nice. I'm planning to get a compact pickup soon. The prices are starting to get really steep where I live. It's like $4000+ for a 25 year old truck with 180,000 miles on it.

They all exist for Windows 11. DDU is highly recommended from what I've seen in forums.

It might just be the ones I play; Railroad Tycoon 3, Airbucks, Detroit, etc. Edit: I forgot about the original Theme Park (by Bullfrog)

Look What They Need to Mimic a Fraction of Our Power is a line of dialogue spoken by Omni-Man to Invincible in the animated TV series Invincible during a fight between the two. The line is in reference to a pair of fighter jets, used to illustrate how weak humans are in comparison to superhumans. (source)

I've never seen the show, I just thought it was a funny meme.

In my experience, in city builders you don't usually have any competition, although I think there were neighboring cities in Sim City 3000 that you had to negotiate with.

In tycoon games, you have competitors and your success depends on beating them. In the best tycoon games, you can buy your competitors' stock and profit from their effort.

In city builders, there's generally no rush - you can move at your own pace. Tycoon games don't give you that luxury - in the games that I play, you have to stay ahead of competitors and/or keep shareholders happy.

I'm torn between that one and Tapatío.

Probably obscure if you're under 50.

The FSF has published its evaluation of the "Llama 3.1 Community License Agreement." This is not a free software license and you should not use it, nor any software released under it.

Dumb question here, but why shouldn't I use it? Maybe I'm missing something in the article.

 

Today I learned Columbia had a Black business district. Luckily, it didn't suffer the same tragic fate of Tulsa or Wilmington.

To start off with I had a Ryzen 3400G and an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max that had become unstable and took several tries to boot. I decided to swap in an ASUS Prime B550M-A wifi.

The only issue is I was triple booting Kubuntu, Windows 7, and Windows 10, so this would be interesting.

TL/DR:

Kubuntu booted normally. Like seriously, just a regular boot, no messages or anything.

Windows 7 froze a few seconds into the loading screen. I tried rebooting and using safe mode, but that froze too.

Windows 10 gave a bunch of 'rechecking' and 'fixing file system' messages, and after about 2 reboots with more messages, opened to a workable desktop.

I was watching an episode of Monk (S03E12), and in the first few minutes, the detective asks his assistant "Do you have a pliers?" That immediately struck me as weird, but later, towards the end of the episode, he makes the comment "This was cut with a scissors." The only place I've ever seen 'a scissors' was in old Peanuts cartoons, and I've never ever heard 'a pliers', but I guess it could make sense in a way.

I grew up saying a pair of scissors or pliers, which is weird in its own way, since it's a single object. I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever heard these terms.

 

I followed a tutorial and trained my first LoRA today. I was surprised to see it was using both my GPUs - 1080ti and 3060, but then it failed halfway through. I won't print the whole log, but here are the important parts that caught my attention:

More than one GPU was found, enabling multi-GPU training.

2023-09-17 10:35:32.654285: W tensorflow/compiler/tf2tensorrt/utils/py_utils.cc:38] TF-TRT Warning: Could not find TensorRT

Blocksparse is not available: the current GPU does not expose Tensor cores

[E ProcessGroupNCCL.cpp:455] Some NCCL operations have failed or timed out. Due to the asynchronous nature of CUDA kernels, subsequent GPU operations might run on corrupted/incomplete data.

[E ProcessGroupNCCL.cpp:460] To avoid data inconsistency, we are taking the entire process down.

So my guess is the tensor errors are because of the GTX card which doesn't have tensor cores. I removed that card and everything ran fine with just the 3060. I imagine either card would work by itself, but the differences between the two may have been enough to cause data corruption.

So I'm wondering if anyone has this working with multiple RTX cards. Can it work across generations - 3060 and 4060ti, etc. Or does it have to be the same generation? Thanks in advance.


As for the LoRA itself, it needs more work (denim boots)
