I thought one of the reasons nvidia wants to go dlss is they can gut the video cards of their horsepower and sell a cheaper ersatz because it's not trying to calculate more and more triangles anymore.

I've never been on the cutting edge of graphics cards with the game I play. But unless something comes out that is game changing I'm probably done buying a new one for a very long time.
At one time I had 480 volt 3 phase power here, not once did I say "Gee some day I can run a GPU with it". Stupid me I had to turned off.

Out of curiosity , why did you have 480 3ph and was it straight 480 or 480/277V?

It came with the house when I bouht it. The owner had some equipment in the shop he used. I used it for a while since I had acess to some industrial welding machines. I got a deal through the local power co-op since a good friend of mine his wife works there and her job is to deal with that and configure what a company needs for power and such. If I hadn't the minimum payment amount per month would be overwhelmingly too expensive. I paid the guy that takes care of all that at one of the shops I do work for to take care of it. I'll do anything around a house/shop but I hire or get someone that knows it well to t ake care of it.
You can use rotary phase convertors to avoid using 3 phase. I do know if you have 3 phase buying used equipment like mills, lathes, and welding machines is much much cheaper to buy 3 phase if you can manage. Lot of people looking for something nice and used that isn't 3 phase, 3 phase is out there used everywhere. I switched to rotary phase convertors for my mill and lathe and have no use for it for a welding machine. If I can't weld it I take it to one of the shops I do work for.

Half of my computer was used parts and I’ve had no issues.
I made sure to buy a brand new psu and mobo and fans but almost everything else was second hand.

We're in the weeds here but the only time I've used rotary phase converters was for elevators in apartments that were usually 240/120V 1P. It was deemed cheaper than bringing 3 phase power to the job. They were expensive as hell (to me). Keep in mind I don't pay the power bills for that stuff, I just was in charge of the install.

Has nothing to do with Altman and everything to do with Google's new claim:

Saw that too but I have my doubts, but stocks and actual deep working of tech are outside of my wheelhouse so I don't have much to really use to question anythingHas nothing to do with Altman and everything to do with Google's new claim:

Tech market is usually forward looking. Sho knows until it actually is put into action. At this point could be like cold fusion that gets announced someone has found it, over and over. A lot of gaming micro transactions now are fear of missing out, well the market is too. We shall see. But if it reduces the demand on memory and stuff I'm all for it, not putting my money into it, but I'm all for it.
A dirty secret of the stock market - no-one has any idea what the fuck is going on either, it's bullshit all the way down. The winners are the people who correctly predict how other people who have no idea what they are doing are going to react to things.

I invest and my long term gains have been great. It’s really only an issue if you invest into single stocks (like ENRON) or I used to invest in Disney, but I’ve sold all my Disney stock a few years ago, but investing into ETFs or mutual funds that dilute the invests into many firms is the go to move.
basically if you’re not investing your extra money, you’re losing money. I mean, keep a six month emergency liquid savings, but anything over that you should be investing it.

The strangest aspect is im working in the industry that makes those chips/silicon for RAM and they are very slow. Im having a hard time understanding why we are so slow when the demand is so high. Something isn't adding up to some extent but im not sure what it is.

while its not exactly lizard people own the world kinda conspiracy, there does seem to be a general hard push by big companies - google, microsoft, nvidia, amazon, etc - to get people to only use phones and cloud based compute, so they control every aspect of your digital life. driving people away from high compute devices to dumb screens has a lot of advantages for evil tech assholes, and lets them insert themselves in every step that can't easily be circumvented anymore. it helps governments too so they have no incentive to investigate.
younger people have been brought up this way too, so they don't see anything wrong with giving up personal info, letting random companies know all their info, being served ads everywhere, making everything a sub service, not owning anything, etc.
