December 2010 Desktops

This is off topic, but i'm curious...

why should anyone install this patch and not use the x64 Win7 version? :rolleyes:

Well, unfortunately my health is not allowing me to be gainfully employed and I'm in the process of getting things going with Social Security Disability (for the 4TH TIME!), and I was given a Win7 32-bit DVD at an "Executive Briefing" shortly after launch - So, I had to go with the 32-bit version for the time being.

Interestingly, that patch cleared-up a few memoy management issues, allowing me to run Windows Media Player alongside the host of other apps I have running as evidenced in my latest desktop screen-cap:

^What VS /Icons are featured above? Looks very clean and polished.

icons are from here http://johnblaze00.deviantart.com/#/d2bxxlk

vs is from here http://johnblaze00.deviantart.com/#/d34gyxp

start button is this http://johnblaze00.deviantart.com/#/d34hlp9

Another VS I've been playing around with. As you might've guessed I've just discovered Style Builder. It's fun, but exacting and time consuming....

Wallpaper is a blurred and recolored version of this:

I kinda like where you're going with that VS. You plan on releasing that? The only thing that would bother me is the loss of window shadows, though.

I'm not sure, I've never released anything. I'm still learning where all the elements are located, and I've just started using Paint.NET to compose and edit the .PNG's. Thanks for the comment though, it's encouraging to hear. Btw, there are shadows, but very minimal ones, especially the inactive window shadows. Doesn't show too well on the reduced screenie.

Wow... you just put EVERYTHING you could throw in there? :blink:

That's the messiest, most convoluted desktop I've ever seen. How do you work with that and not go into an Epileptic seizure?

    • To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
    • I was expecting the end of the world to happen before this game or elder scroll 6 to come out.
    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
    • I'm aware. That information should have been included in the article, making it more complete and information.
