We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

GPU's are a family business it would seem.

Su's mother and Nvidia co-founder and former CEO Jensen Huang are first cousins. Su's maternal grandfather is the eldest brother of Huang's mother.

My favorite part about US monopolies is: Even when you think there's at-least two companies that own everything... Haha, no, fuck you, they're all in the same god-damn trench coat. Sell everything you own to survive and then rent from us permanently and forever, peasant.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've told this story before, but fortunately nobody reads anything I write. I used to work for Comcast, at their HQ in Philly, as a contractor writing mobile apps. One day my boss (from my contracting company) came by my cubicle and said we were going to meet with Time Warner Cable to discuss writing some apps for them. I started to put my coat on but my boss stopped me. We then rode the elevator up to the 16th floor of the Comcast Center where TWC had a suite of offices. This was shortly before the attempted merger between the two companies; I remain surprised that the FCC put the kibosh on it, since the two companies were already effectively merged. I guess sometimes the bribes just aren't big enough.

Well, yeah. There's a reason AMD doesn't compete on the high end for graphics cards and it's not that they don't know how. Jensen even straight up said in an interview that they don't compete.

They're not even remotely trying to hide it.

Replace CEO with feudal nobilty and suddently it looks straight outta a medieval story

[–] kestrel7_7@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I tell people all the time, feudalism never really went away, it just became capitalism. Folks try to argue and I’m like “so did you or anyone you know pay any rent to a landlord lately? Interesting word, lord.”

If y’all think this is crazy, wait til you find out the entire US economy has been ruled by a few handfuls of families lol. Makes this shit seem like nothing in comparison.

[–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 94 points 2 days ago (11 children)

A Ford was married to Firestone (Tires)

A Vanderbilt was married to Crane (toilets)

Old family money: Vanderbilt (oil) Carnegie (Steel) Goldman-Sachs (wealth) lol

And then there’s Kennedys and of course, the Bush-Walker-Davis family: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush%E2%80%93Davis%E2%80%93Walker_family_political_line

Also, every major CPU manufacturer does (or at least attempts to do) business with Israel military. Calling for a boycott on one just generates shareholder value for the other. Buy used, people. Ideally.

Even more damning: Jensen Huang used to work at AMD as an engineer, before he became a finance bro.

Now I wonder why AMD has better Linux drivers then Nvidia.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 23 hours ago

Either through agreement or threat, AMD has been kept out of the ultra-high-end market.

Might as well go for the upcoming gamers.

[–] blackberry28@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

Maybe because AMD has a lower marketshare than nvidia and having open source drivers is one way to differentiate themselves from nvidia and to have a USP.
