What did Jensen Huang do this time?
Still not as bad as Hack Tran (CEO of: Broadcom/Vmware/CA/Symantec/Brocade), but close.
Is the leather motorcycle jacket part of his Jobsian uniform now?
Has been for years.
I believe that the shareholders are quite happy?
You guys have phones right?
And Linux users
So he’s not all bad, and let’s be honest it doesn’t take much. Did he suggest using light mode, or tabs instead of spaces?
If those kids weren't busy troubleshooting driver issues, they'd be very upset.
i don't know a damn thing about linux, but that seems like something that would happen
as a daily linux user, this is pretty funny.
especially when I'm also a daily Windows user who fights against Windows update downgrading drivers.
Yeah he is taiwanese
Fuck him
I love how no one in the comments specifically mentions his name, like he's fucking Voldemort or something.
Jensen Huang!
gasps
Oh, so this is about NVidia and its CEO. Thanks.
Yeah, he has been pissing everybody for quite a long time already. People still buy the things he sells...
How about the majority of comments asking what this means, and nobody answering?
The only Jensen I’m a fan of is Dani.
I like Adam Jensen myself
I never asked for this!
Don't forget Jensen Ackles!
Avada Raytracing!

Who is he what did he do?
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.
Their products are currently better than the competition
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.
There isn't even competition for the 4090, what are you talking about?

Because of AI hype

Co-founder and CEO of Nvidia.
Okay and for those of us not keeping up with the news, why/how did he insult its own userbase?
Since this is about AI, I asked an AI. Bottom line is.. I have no idea and the AI doesn’t either:
How did the CEO of Nvidia insult gamers, artists, and Linux users?
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has made several statements that have been perceived as dismissive or controversial by gamers, artists, and Linux users:
Gamers:
In January 2019, Huang criticized AMD’s Radeon VII graphics card, calling it “underwhelming” and “lousy.” He stated, “The performance is lousy and there’s nothing new… [There’s] no ray tracing, no AI.” Such remarks were seen by some gamers as dismissive of competing products and their user base.
[okay?]
Artists:
In January 2024, NVIDIA showcased its ACE microservice, an AI suite capable of generating fully voiced AI characters. This demonstration raised concerns among artists about the potential for AI to replace human creativity and jobs in the industry. While Huang did not directly insult artists, the promotion of such technology led to apprehension regarding the future role of human artists.
[I guess he made a demo of technology?]
Linux Users:
In June 2012, Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, publicly criticized NVIDIA for its lack of support for Linux, calling the company “the single worst company we’ve ever dealt with.” He expressed frustration over NVIDIA’s unwillingness to support Linux systems, which was a significant concern for Linux users relying on NVIDIA hardware.
[It seems we are factoring in a lifetime of resentment. (But I agree)]

Post: 60+ upvotes
User feedback: "What the hell does this meme mean?"
Lemmy users are really weird with their upvotes...
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.
On lemmy.world i would fully believe anyone who said there are 60+ bots boosting any given post (obviously not every post). Thats not a lot when you think about it but enough to give certain posts traction and ensure they stay at the top for days.
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.
Cool.
It's okay, at least you tried it out.
All of which keep buying his products...
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 FLOPS an average DNN developer like myself has access to currently.
People buy Nvidia no matter what. Even when they aren't the best choice. Then those same people complain about Nvidia doing the anticompetitive things they do.
The best is when people cheer for AMD making something great, only so they can buy an Nvidia card cheaper, as if the only reason AMD exists is to subsidise their Nvidia purchase!
Nvidia's greatest asset is the mindshare they have.
I would have much preferred giving AMD money instead, but at their best the lack of DLSS performance was meaningful when everyone thought Cyberpunk was the new standard of graphical fidelity with the 6000/3000 series.
