  • By some definition. They have always been usable to some degree because I think animators or something use Linux commercially on Nvidia, and for gpgpu they are still top class on linux (nothing comes close)

    They haven’t always been the best for gaming or desktop (Wayland) use though, since Intel and AMD opened up their drivers.

    Arguably in my experience Nvidia has been far less buggy for the last 30+ years on x11, and with this change they may have finally reached parity on Wayland, haven’t tried it myself.

    I never wait around while the car is charging (generally only charge at home), but this has been useful for waiting to board a ferry, actually being in the car on a ferry, and waiting for road closures to clear.

    I also do have a steam deck, and this is basically the same thing but with a bigger screen.








  • Depends on what you’re doing with it, but prompt/context processing is a lot faster on Nvidia GPUs than on Apple chips, though if you are using the same prefix all the time it’s a bit better.

    The time to first token is a lot faster on datacenter GPUs, especially as context length increases, and consumer GPUs don’t have enough vram.




  • I guess it’s finally to the point where selfhosters can admit to using k8s and not be bombarded by comments saying it’s overkill, which has happened in the past for:

    • Self hosting at all
    • Using VMs
    • Using containers
    • Using docker compose
    • Using k8s (⬅️ I guess we are here)
    • Using helm charts or whatever ends up replacing this

    Anyway, I believe there is a tool also to turn docker compose files into k8s manifests if we want to take this a step further!
