That RK has a ( currently ) under utilized NPU on it. That is where i was headed, i agree the GPU is not up for that task, but its NPU fills that gap. While T/NPUs are mainly geared towards AI and not Crypto, they can do both as it is similar. Of course, in crypto if its not ASIC you are peeing in the ocean at this point. And in AI wrld, N/TPU is that asic component.
A100s are basically 100% GPU . As is the older Tesla i have. Their host PC is just there for i/o really.
My lite coin miners, similar, they are 100% ASIC with a tiny arm board for i/o to the real world.

Yes, I absolutely adore my RK3588 with the CPU and GPU on the same die, but that's not what I was referring to here.
When doing math-heavy jobs such as cryptomining and "AI" inference, it's all about the GPU density, the CPU is just there as an orchestrator and it isn't doing much other than feeding data to the workers. And so there are now modules (I'll find a spec for one if I can) that are basically all GPU, with some memory on the board, and a few ARM cores, to make it a "full" computer instead of a peripheral that needs to be installed "in" a computer.

The purpose of an onboard NPU is for "them" to eavesdrop your device downstream of any end-to-end encrypted apps you might be using.
That's why the case for open source operating systems is stronger than ever. Unless you trust Apple, Google, Microsoft, and the CIA/CCP ... :)
Nah, its just an ASIC component on chip to do dedicated neural calculations faster than with a CPU/GPU.
Now if you want to talk about some of the software that is being bundled with windows that uses it to speed things up, sure, but an NPU/TPU on its own, is just some go-fast silicon.

Seems like an odd statement, attitude. Its not like its a car or something. Just hope hes not thinking a government controlled crypto supply/distribution is a good thing. Its not.

lol
But always remember the best sarcasm is based on fact...

Yes. In fact, I think "Life imitates the Babylon Bee" ought to be the new, updated, more accurate version of "Life imitates Idiocracy".
And we know that Seth Dillon will likely never fall from grace like Phil Vischer.
LoL
Trump announced memecoins for himself and his wife. They are valued at nearly 60 billion ( subject to change of course as market fluctuates )
Pennies are now gone. Serfs dont need those. ( unless the order is overridden, really thought congress had to do that )
100 dollar bills may be banned soon, and its being worked on. " People hoard them instead of putting them in the bank where money belongs, and people use them for illicit purposes" . If that happens, we will see mandated digital federal crypto in a year.

What does it mean to ban a bill denomination? You mean they'll quit printing them and tell banks to quit circulating them? Or all of my 100 dollar bills suddenly become worthless?

I don't know what the plan is, but there is usually a deprecation program for these things. They announce they are not making any more bills of that kind and encourage people to turn the ones they have in the bank. Then after date X the status of those notes as legal tender is withdrawn and it is no longer recognized.
But there are also ways of banning notes without banning notes. For example,you can enact a law that requires banks to report to the autorities every use of a given type of note. The end result is nobody uses the note because why would you risk a tax research from using legal currency?
Revocation of a bill's legal tender status is unlikely. A $100 bill will always be worth $100. Worst that happens is that they go out of circulation for everyday use and if you find one in a box in grandma's attic you might have to go to a bank or some other place that can authenticate it instead of using it to pay for a couple of meals at the McBurger's store.
We're already at a point in history where large amounts of hard currency are automatically considered suspect. Denominations of coins or bills doesn't really figure into it.
They will force banks to withhold any that come in, and if you pay with one, you get flagged. And wont make any more either.
I dont think this is about 'the 100 dollar bill' so much as vilifying cash. Get people to accept what is coming. Start with the higher bills, 'ooo they are evil' then work your way down. Much like they have been trying to do with arms.. 'ooo scary black rifles' then if we eventually accept that, then its 'oooh scary long barrels'. then on to the next thing to ban.

We have *always* been at that point, at the very least, since the "War on Drugs". Anyone carrying more than a few hundred dollars cash, is immediately subjected to seizure, if the cops can find a way to stop them. And the cops have whatever leeway they want.
You want to drive from the east to Las Vegas to play in the World Series of Poker? Better not drive through Iowa, if you do, stick to the speed limit, or by the time you get to Vegas, you'll have all your buyins confiscated.

Yeah. If you're carrying a lot of money, you're automatically assumed to be buying or selling drugs.
When i bought my little car from its original owner, i paid cash. ~7k. Didn't think about it until afterward. "if i got stopped, i wonder if they would believe me" Shocked the guy too, " i was expecting a check or something" Tho this was some 20 years ago.. when people still knew what a check was... The 2nd one of those i bought, cash then too.. but was only about 3k since it had a few miles on it.
When i got my jeep, i just took out a loan, then paid it off after a couple of payments. Safer and fewer questions. ( tho it was an actual jeep dealer not some random dude, so wasn't expecting to get held up or something )
Of course in 2025, a pocket of cash: "officer, i just wanted to buy a tank of gas and a sandwich on the way home"

According to Tokenomist, the TRUMP meme coin is set to release 40 million tokens worth around $334 million on April 18. This is 20% of the total supply of tokens. The unlock is the largest dollar-value token release and also one of the largest unlocks in terms of total supply percentage.
