Techstorm970 reacted to Avocado Diaboli in Nikon acquires RED Digital Cinema
Quite a conjecture. When I look back at my photo albums full of pictures I took as a child on a cheap point-and-shoot camera, I don't think "gee, I wish I'd taken these with the DSLR I bought 10 years later". I just look at the scenes in those pictures and the people within them and reminisce fondly. You seem to overestimate how much people value the fidelity of pictures over what memories they depict.

Techstorm970 got a reaction from whispous in Windows 11 24H2 goes from “unsupported” to “unbootable” on some older CPUs
Unbothered, unbridled "meh" from me.
C2D machines are for putting Windows 7 and legacy software on, not latest-greatest stuff. A C2D machine with Windows 11 better be a tinker-toy and nothing more.

Even the best programers have super exploitable memory in C/C++
It is not as easy to make rust as exploitable, we are not talking about java here really.
Rust is finally an option for low level coding and is doing great in windows and linux drivers and will be slowing going into the kernel
WITH Rust existing, the need to write in C++ is decimated, for NEW projects that you are considering writing in C/C++ change to Rust.
yes there will still be exploits, thats not the point. The point is there will be LESS exploits from overlooking some pointer.
The language is the problem with C/C++ when there is a safer language that accomplishes the same tasks.
AKA 70% of vulnerabilities coming from C/C++ (which to be fair, is what the OS's are written in and Chromium)

Techstorm970 reacted to StDragon in NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang: Don't learn computer science. The future is human language (AI code generation)
Odds are that AI will replace Jen-Hsun Huang as CEO before it replaces the need to code.

Techstorm970 reacted to Eigenvektor in NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang: Don't learn computer science. The future is human language (AI code generation)
I assume you've had wonderful experience of developing something that matched the customer's description to a T, only for them to come back with "What on earth is that, that's not what we wanted at all"
Even as a developer, I'd say the most unambiguous way to describe what you really want is to write it in code. As you said, human language isn't precise, which means you'd likely have to add so much clarifying context that it is probably more efficient to simply write the code yourself.
Additionally, if you don't know how to code, how do you verify that the output is correct? Sure, you can run and observe the program. You can probably have another AI generate test cases. But that still requires at least a rudimentary understanding of what you're doing.
Fast forward a few years: Software companies desperately searching for employees able to debug and fix their AI generated code… As the leader of a company that relies heavily on both hardware and software (drivers), I'm not sure how Jen-Hsun Huang can make such a statement in good faith.

Techstorm970 reacted to WereCat in 7900 GRE to launch globally on Feb 27th for $549
Found it for 622eur in multiple e-shops in Slovakia but this one has it for 500eur (in stock)... though they say they are not a tax payers so no idea if that is with the 20% VAT included.
By law they should only list prices with VAT included and if not, they are supposed to at least state the price does not include tax. Still, that would be 600eur. Cheapest RX 7900 XT I could find is starting at 765eur so this is still a significant discount from it.
For reference (cheapest listed, not in stock) RTX 4070 starts at 560eur and RTX 4070 Super at eye watering 645eur.
EDIT:
Man, seems like the nerfed memory bandwidth really hurts this card vs 7900 XT. To be fair this is from a 6 month old review so the performance may have improved with drivers but I wouldn't really bet on it.

Oh hey that is pretty neat. Fills up a current price gap the 6950xt left behind nicely

Techstorm970 got a reaction from BSittery in Nvidia App goes beta
The convenience of having everything in the same place is what I'm excited about.
Otherwise, hard agree. Utility apps can look like Windows 95 for all I care as long as it actually works as advertised.

Ah I remember when I:

If Rufus and a tick box is too difficult to do a fresh install then that is totally a you problem. Installing Windows 11 on a Ryzen 2500U is trivially easy.
