Then in a random Linux kernel update they changed the GPU driver. Trying to run ROCm now hard-crashed the GPU requiring a restart. People in the community figured out which patch introduced the problem, but years later... Still no fix or revert. You know, because it's officially unsupported.

So "Just use HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION" is not a solution. You may buy hardware based on that today, and be left holding the bag tomorrow.

IME -O3 should only be used if you have benchmarks that show -O3 actually produces a speedup for your specific codebase.

"Our 4-person team's AI bill this month was $100K and I've never been more proud of an invoice"

"If your $250K a year engineers aren't spending $250K a year in tokens, you aren't getting your money's worth"

"If you aren't using at least $500 of tokens a day, it's time for a performance improvement plan"

Would have been a lot more useful if it tried to match the Go behavior and threw a compiler error if it couldn't, e.g. when you defer in a loop.

Is this just for people who prefer Go syntax over C syntax?

> The price of credits in some currency could change after you bought them.

> The price of credits could be different for different customers (commercial, educational, partners, etc)

Maybe I'm missing something, but doesn't every other compute provider manage that without introducing their own token currency? Convert to the user's currency at the end of the month, when the invoice comes in. On the pricing page, have a table that lists different prices for different customers. I fail to see how tokens make it clearer. Compare:

"This action costs 1 token, and 1 token = $0.03 for educational in the US, or 0.05€ for commercial in the EU"

"This action costs $0.03 for educational in the US, or 0.05€ for commercial in the EU"

> They can ban trading of credits or let them expire

That sounds extremely user-hostile to me

> The court held that the Copyright Act requires all eligible works to be authored by a human being. Since Dr. Thaler listed the Creativity Machine, a non-human entity, as the sole author, the application was correctly denied. The court did not address the argument that the Constitution requires human authorship, nor did it consider Dr. Thaler’s claim that he is the author by virtue of creating and using the Creativity Machine, as this argument was waived before the agency.

Or in other words: They ruled you can't register copyright with an AI listed as the author on the application. They made no comment on whether a human can be listed as the author if an AI did the work.

ARM works the same way. And SPARC is the opposite, instructions are always big-endian, but data can be switched to little-endian.

These days it's bi, actually :) Although I don't see any CPU designer actually implementing that feature, except maybe MIPS (who have stopped working on their own ISA, and now want all their locked-in customers to switch to RISC-V without worrying about endianness bugs)

The only question that matters: Do your customers / users want to run it on big-endian hardware? And for 99% of programmers, the answer is no, because their customers have never knowingly been in the same room as a big-endian CPU.

Ohhhh, is that how it works? Maybe I should try that next time. Instead of selling broken hardware as "NOT TESTED, AS IS, PARTS MACHINE" I should sell them as "100% working!" and when someone asks, I'll tell them "sorry, it's not feasible to search through all devices and find the working ones"

Read the article that comment is on, it's all about why one would want that.

Neat! I think most people would expect most asteroids to be single big rocks, so finding out they're apparently rare compared to "rubble held together by gravity" asteroids is interesting. The linked article about landslides on rubble asteroids was also cool.

This has all the worst aspects of AI-generated faces. Unfitting high contrast lighting that doesn't match the environment, shiny plastic-looking skin, and only barely resembling the original likeness. It's like an Instagram yassification beauty filter.

I'll be honest, I don't know enough to judge whether it's impressive that they can generate these kinds of faces (that were state-of-the-art two years ago?) in real time now, on an $8000 dual-GPU prosumer desktop. But artistically, it serves less as an ad and more as a warning to stay away from this tech. I'm surprised someone thought this was a good showcase.

Haven't been able to reproduce that myself though. (LLM-powered translation might be US-only? Or part of an A/B test and I don't have the right account flags? Or maybe the screenshots are fake)
