⬛️ We are currently accelerating the incubation of GPU... Nodes into the infraX Network, with 12 H100’s currently available for operation. Despite the incubation of such immense GPU power, the infraX Platform is optimally designed to run on the least amount of computational power possible, meaning a lot of our available GPU nodes are currently sitting idle. Currently, we're utilising a single gigantic NVIDIA H100 server with 80GB of VRAM and over 220GB of RAM to run our Platform. To put that in perspective, it rivals the computational power of an adult human brain. This setup enables us to handle immense computational load and deliver high-quality AI content to our users, however we have much more in store. Our remaining, immense network of GPU units is currently being prepared for rental operations as we look to transform the corporate GPU lending sphere through our corporate GPU lending protocol. We already have many high tier Web3 Players ready for technical integration, with more approaching us daily. Through our V3 DApp we look to make these integrations publicly viewable with real time usage graphs integrated directly into our Platform, allowing for exceedingly unique viewing opportunities. $INFRAshow more

People who have commented on my daily stream crashes... that have been happening for 1.5 years Things I have tried with no fix: - New wifi / new Home - New BEEFY PC (100% new everything EXCEPT 5080gpu) - New cables (inside and outside of pc) - New streaming software - New monitors - Fresh windows install - Bios update - Drivers update/retroactive drivers - Clean OBS scenes to run bare minimum - OBS logs and windows activity checked (shows NOTHING) - Furmark stress test - Switched output from GPU to CPU (solves the nvec error) - Obviously theres more but those are the main ones COUNTLESS tech teams have reached out to help with no prevail. What we know: - Happens when streaming/chatting/gaming/NOT streaming with obs/slobs open - Can't play games on PC without major droped frames. - Can't output on GPU only CPU - Memory leak IS happening on 5080 series with OBS/slobs - Can't change scenes sometimes - Can't have any other programs running during stream - tiktok never crashes when I mutlistream. Only twitch I have been troubleshooting for 1.5 years and I'm almost about to quit.show more

During a meeting with Alexander Stubb Alexander Stubb, we... exchanged details of our meetings in the United States and discussed the current prospects in diplomacy. Clearly, Russia is suffering heavy losses on the battlefield, while the situation in its economy is also becoming more difficult. Alex commended our success with long-range sanctions. At the same time, we are doing everything possible to provide greater protection for Ukrainians from Russian strikes. I am grateful for his thorough understanding of our needs. Missiles for the Patriots are needed literally every day. We also spoke about diplomacy. We are preparing for important meetings in August. Thank you, Alex!show more

The server disconnections are still ongoing, and we are... continuing to receive penalties because of them. There are complaints on the forums where a GM mentioned that nothing is wrong, despite the large number of reports and similar complaints also appearing on Reddit. It’s important to note that these reports are coming from all regions — Asia, Europe, and the Americas. While some players may not be affected, a large portion of the player base is clearly experiencing this issue. I truly enjoy streaming Overwatch and sharing new content with my community, but it’s very frustrating to be constantly disconnected due to server issues — especially now with the amazing collaboration with YOASOBI, where I’d love to showcase the skins and play the event. I kindly ask that you give proper attention to this serious issue. The videos provided are from livestreams on Monday and Tuesday.

Hi FGC friends. I picked up a Brooks Wingman... FGC 2 myself from to test some older sticks on PS5 cause of issues using them on PS5 for some games. Did a quick Firmware update through their website here: (Hold the side buttons while plugged into PC and grab the latest update) I then tested all of these myself that didn't work in game for Avatar before that are now working instantly. Hopefully a patch comes out before the event for legacy controllers but I wanted to test this as a backup option while I chat with Brook Converters directly about getting some loaners for pools at the event. So far no issues, timeouts or anything so this may be your a good option for the mean time to use all of your sticks/controllers on PS5 in general. If you're having issues please let me know what controller/stick you're trying to use and I'll see if I have it to try myself. Yes I'm one the greatest TOs of all time that goes through all the details when needed.show more

Say hello to Boojum 👋: zkSync Era’s new high-performance... proof system for radical decentralization. Boojum is an upgrade that will transition zkSync Era to a STARK-powered proof system, providing world-class performance on consumer-grade hardware. 💡 Learn more: TL;DR 👇 Boojum is the name of our Rust-based cryptographic library, which we use to implement the upgraded version of the ZK circuits for zkSync Era and the ZK Stack. The name Boojum was inspired by Lewis Carroll's poem "The Hunting of the Snark," where the Boojum represents the most fearsome kind of Snark. We intentionally designed zkSync Era in a way that cryptographic upgrades can be made without a regenesis, meaning that the Boojum upgrade won’t cause any user disruptions. Why Boojum❓ From day one, zkSync’s mission is to advance personal freedom for all — making digital self-ownership universally accessible by building a blockchain network that is trustless, secure, permissionless, affordable, easy to use, resilient and limitlessly scalable. Boojum plays an important role in advancing this mission by delivering: 1. World-class performance zkSync Era’s current SNARK-based proof system is effective today, but it won’t scale to the volume that we envision for hyperchains. zkSync Era’s sequencer can already process over 100 TPS; Boojum orders of magnitude improvements to performance complements this well. 2. Reduced hardware requirements for decentralization Our long-term goal is to enable user-powered, decentralized proof generation. Boojum represents a breakthrough in this direction — with the prover running on consumer-grade GPUs requiring only 16 GB GPU RAM. Boojum’s Journey to Mainnet 🚴🏽‍♀️ Boojum is now live on Mainnet, generating and verifying ‘shadow proofs’ today with real production data so that we can carefully test the system ahead of fully migrating. Today, we’re also open-sourcing the repo; if you’d like to take a look, you can find it here 👇 This is the first of a series of posts on Boojum. We will provide updates on our progress, including more details on implementation, security, and performance. Watch here for more, anon ∎show more

Thanks to everyone who came out to support ‘March... for Fairness’. I know participating in these kind of events requires significant sacrifice of time, money, energy and many other things and I’m encouraged by many who sacrificed all that to raise voice against country of birth discrimination. Although we were small in numbers, I’m happy for all that we were able to accomplish and how we were able to raise awareness to many. Thanks everyone who contributed and helped organize, promote the event. Country caps on skill based visas are unfair because it restricts someone’s growth based on where they are born and it is a hindrance for employers to hire based on merit. It’s high time we end this discrimination. #SaveAmerica #RemoveCountryCapshow more

You don't need a GPU for fast studio grade... voice cloning anymore. Qwen3 TTS (1.7B Q4_K_M) + mainline llama.cpp is officially the fastest way to generate zero shot voice clones using 100% pure CPU execution. Following up on my last post where we ran the Q8 model on a GPU, we just took local C++ voice synthesis a massive step further. The open source community quantized Alibaba's SOTA Qwen3 TTS model down to Q4_K_M GGUF, completely freeing local audio pipelines from dedicated graphics hardware. Here is the real world benchmark and hardware breakdown of running SOTA voice cloning on CPU: # Architecture & Model Setup Using Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base-Q4_K_M.gguf paired with the 8 bit multimodal projector (mmproj-Q8_0.gguf), llama.cpp executes the entire pipeline in pure C++. No PyTorch, no CUDA dependencies, and no VRAM bottlenecks. # Real-World Memory Footprint - Baseline RAM: 1.6 GB system idle. - Peak Generation RAM: 8 GB RAM during active voice synthesis. - Requirement: Any basic machine with at least 8 GB of system RAM can run this easily. # Real World CPU Benchmarks - Google Colab Free Tier (Throttled 2 Core CPU): Synthesizes a 5 sec studio quality audio clip (~8 words) in 45 seconds. - Modern Consumer CPU (Intel i5/i7 13th/14th Gen or AMD Ryzen 7000/9000): generation should drop to 5 to 20 seconds (nearly 1:1 real-time generation speed!). # Zero Shot Voice Cloning Quality Pass any 5 to 20 second .wav audio sample to the C++ engine using the --tts-speaker-file flag. It yields clean, natural sounding cloned speech with virtually zero quality loss compared to unquantized FP16 weights. To make testing seamless, I built an updated zero config Google Colab notebook. It pulls the official pre built llama.cpp CPU binaries (zero compilation time!) launches a live Gradio web app right in your browser. Record a 5 second clip from your mic (or drop a .mp3, .wav file), type text, and generate cloned audio on CPU. Native C++ audio models are making edge based, offline AI voice agents a reality. Links to the free Q4 CPU Colab notebook and the Q4_K_M GGUF HuggingFace repository are in the replies below! Which models have you been running on your CPUs? What CPU hardware are you using for local inference?show more

Due to overwhelming high demand, a number of orders... from our first batch have unfortunately been moved to the second batch, which is now 90% ordered! Our manufacturers are hard at work to keep up with strong demand and we estimate that the second batch will now be sent the latter part of June. As part of this second batch we will update you by email with Fedex tracking numbers so you can see in real time where the mining rig is in the system. We apologize to those affected by this production demand, but rest assured us and the manufacturers are working hard to clear the backlog. Thank you for your patience and support!show more

Aryna Sabalenka, #1 ranked women singles tennis player, is... neither ''sultry'' nor a woman. Interesting because Aryna posted this narcissistic video with the caption "No lies here''. Wow, what a joke and so blatantly arrogant. Aryna thinks Tik Tok filters, a focus on fake boobs, and some heavy makeup combined with a catchy tune is all that's needed to pull off his deception. Too bad for Aryna that some of us have learned if an inverts lips are moving they are lying... plus we are not blind to the anatomy of a male skeleton 🙄show more

I think Covid broke everyone’s brains. The government got... caught in the biggest coverup/crime of all time, and now the most retarded people on Earth have been emboldened to claim EVERY SINGLE THING is a conspiracy theory. Just as bad as the MSM that we were supposed to replace. Every time you shitbirds make a bullshit conspiracy theory where there isn’t one, you discredit the ACTUAL conspiracies and crimes that are taking place, as well as the ACTUAL journalists who are reporting on the facts.

Visa and Mastercard are moving deeper into stablecoin payments.... Banks are testing tokenized settlements. Fintech teams are building the next payment rails in real time. To some this feels like everyone else is already ahead. But the truth is the opposite. These signals show where global finance is heading. Multicurrency accounts, real time settlement, digital dollars as a default payment layer and seamless payments between crypto and fiat. Exactly the direction we have been building toward. In our recent update we highlighted that the 149 billion dollar neobank market is projected to grow to 5.5 trillion dollars by 2033. This transformation has only just begun and the strongest growth is still ahead. The Scallop App is in its final development phase and in closed beta testing with multicurrency fiat accounts, a full crypto wallet and instant crypto to fiat swap functions. Visa debit cards are on the way. We are not late. We are aligned with the market shift that is happening right now. What we are building is not a reaction. It is part of the foundation for the next era of digital banking. The timing is right. The ecosystem is forming. And Scallop is nearing the moment where it steps into the global finance arena.show more

A few years ago, I wanted to design a... front panel for a desktop PC with real time machine info. I designed a few prototypes using OLED panels that were available at the time. All 6 running at 60 fps from a single ESP32. Never followed through because 1) I didn't know how to write system software and it felt like a huge undertaking to fetch CPU-Z + Task Manager data without using some paid API 2) These OLEDs failed after 6 months of continuous on-time. Their brightness faded unevenly as they aged too.show more
