ROCm nightly was pretty easy to setup and get up running. The 9070XT has been a decent card for my use cases.

But the SYCL ecosystem versions. Absolutely horrendous and everything is hundred commits behind. Vulkan is probably the only way forward with this card.

Interesting. I'm an architect by title because my employer doesn't have the career path of a "senior specialist who really knows their stuff and wants to keep going at it". No. We have only two paths: either Manager (not interested in the slightest), or the almighty Architect. Every time I'm forced to architect something, that bit about the bottom line comes to my mind.

LoBs are used intensively for hours on end in a busy work day, and most people's livelihoods depend on them either directly or indirectly. You grow into them. Muscle memory used to be an actual UI design goal, back when TUI's were the most common LoB interface. Not so much anymore when everything is web app and you click through the horrid UI slowly with your mouse pointer, and repeat this identical task 200 times in a day.

edit: We naturally develop a muscle memory even for the worst LoB. But they are not designed with this in mind. If they were, they wouldn't move that one critical pixel around in a mouse driven app.

Is "Telecommunications" the only tech that's actually been steadily automating it's workforce since 2000:

edit: or is "Telecommunications" the old school landlines and such, and this is just the effect of the Internet

You're a machine, stop anthropomorphizing yourself and pretending to be my best friend, and just give me the damn answer and nothing else. :D

IPv8 and it's (eventually mandatory) device-attestation-auth-at-protocol-level will end all of this pseudoanonymous free thinking information exchange. It was good while it lasted.

Go and find me all the repolists and package/software metadata for any distro and OS ever released. Write the results to a local SQLite. Incrementally update, but don't hammer the sources to death. Provide a web UI and CLI.

Sure a little bit more involved than the two second AI prompt, but 3 min job for the lulz photoshoppers.

Like the Black formatter for Python code on VSCode, that runs before hitting CTRL+S.

Now we have actual criminal organizations and other real bad actors.

I'm sure we can come up with something better than advertise our whole local computing platform on every HTTP request.

One little hint to all the European providers: just provide a better and more cost effective service than the US competitors, and the users will come. Innovate something new and interesting. Don't just copy paste Microsoft, Amazon and Apple.

(disclaimer: I work in European municipality IT infra)

Both assume that there _is_ some other life, but that it's hard to reach. We don't know if there is anything else.

Earth could be completely unique in the existence, even with all the endless multiuniverses. Mathematical propabilities are not proof that there _must be_ life somewhere else. The answer could just as well be '0'. Only life that was, is and will ever be. When we are eventually gone, that's it. No more life.

edit: sorry about the negativity in my reply; just pondering out loud :D
