    I love how no one in the comments specifically mentions his name, like he’s fucking Voldemort or something.

    Jensen Huang!

      CEO of a company that makes the computer part that is most important for gamers. He has a net worth of about 100 billion USD

      Their products are currently better than the competition and they make full use of their position.

      They are known for very high prices, scummy marketing tricks, and abusing their small business partners.

      The company briefly overtook Apple and Microsoft, becoming the most valuable company at around 3 trillion USD.

        If you want just a GPU, no they aren’t really better.

        They have some different strengths, so they may fit some use-cases better, but they aren’t out-right better.

      Not as weird as reddit. Go look at the front page these days. There are posts like “what’s your name?” With thousands of upvotes. Completely worthless drivel is getting driven to the front page.

      Definitely losing interest fast in this “reddit alternative”. The politics subs are just as bad, if not worse, than Facebook and Twitter. The communities are just clones of subreddits, after the 3rd party / mod purge. The dumbass comment chains that stopped being funny 5 years ago. Clearly bots being used to influence social issues… Could go on but it’s just more wasted bandwidth.

        I just see Lemmy as “more Reddit”

        I read Reddit, I read Lemmy.

        Lemmy usually has 60-80 active commenters on any post that makes it to the front few pages of the entire network, which is more than enough cannon fodder for general discourse and discussion.

        I don’t care if two or three ass-hats are using bots. They’re obvious and easy to spot, and everyone downvotes them anyway, and if they don’t, who cares? Move on. This site isn’t governed by any one person or interest, it’s going to be influenced by everyone equally, and that includes cheap shit like bots, because they’re wrapped up in everyone just the same as everybody else.

        Not OP, but he’s a billionaire. There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. No amount of work they have done would earn billions.

          Not really his fault he is a billionaire. He was an immigrant kid who washed dishes and bused tables til he went to college. He worked his way up and started one of the most successful companies in the world.

          You can hate the system but you don’t need to hate every person in it.

            I didn’t say I hated him. Point where I did? My critque isn’t about him specifically, it is a critque on a broader topic.

            I didn’t claim to know where he came from, his life, none of that.

            What Is being posited is that billionaires are unethical, they should not exit. This I’d a direct commentary of my disgust with the systems that be.

            Move along.

              You approved of it being okay to make up negative things about a person simply because they are a billionaire. You’re saying, why fact check this meme, dude is rich so I agree with their nonsense regardless.

              It is always okay to punch up, but it is silly and foolish to punch up randomly. It is a major part of mob mentality and why we are in the position we are today. It shouldn’t be a surprise that billionaires use social media wharrgarbl to fight other billionaires. We literally just saw one use this tactic to influence a major election.

                Your putting words in my mouth. I said no such thing. I made no commentary on validity of what the OP said or didn’t say.

                No billionaire should exist. Period.

                No one person should amass that much wealth. You grossly misunderstand me. Not that getting through to some internet schmuck means anything.

                I didn’t say I hate billionaires. They shouldn’t exist != I hate them. You conflate two opinions that could agree as the same thing.

                My stance on billionaires will not change because you thought you hit me with a “gotcha” moment.

                Billionaires should not exist because no person can get to be a billionaire without stepping on others to get there. Billionaires aren’t inherently worth more than anyone else.

                If billionaires exist at the same time of people suffering (homelessness, medical debt and inability to pay for treatment, starvation, etc and the list goes on) then they shouldn’t exist. That amount of wealth is for sociopaths, that amount of wealth is amassed by those lacking empathy, and moral value.

                So take your argumentative behavior elsewhere.

                Go back to reddit ya troll.

      The linear algebraic computations performed on their GPU’s tensor cores (since the Turing era) combined with their CUDA and cuDNN software stack have the fastest performance in training deep neural network algorithms.

      That may not last forever, but it’s the best in terms of dollars per TOPS an average DNN developer like myself has access to currently.
