How is the software compatibilty with the Tenstorrent cards? Are you stuck using vendor supplied runtimes/models?

It's surprising how little these things come up given the price they go for

For a laugh, search for "p(doom)" (remember that?) and read some articles from 2023

Glad to see this and other efforts to keep X server going. I don't have strong feelings on the Wayland vs X debate, but the window managers I use don't support Wayland, so I'd like to be able to keep using them

One reason is population growth. Our current system is based on the assumption of an ever growing labor force to fund things like social security, medicare, fund our massive debt, and evrything else we want the government to spend on. In their current form, these systems will break down in the face of population decline. Since existing Americans are having fewer kids and trending downward, immigration is the only way to sustain the model.

This doesn't neccisarily.mean the is the best, or even desireable, way to structure society, but I also think the political system is dysfunctional to the point major change is currently impossible

I didnt down vote you by the way. Just throwing out a counter point to consider

Wow, the new interface is horrible.... They removed the ability to actually edit code in it? Not sure I will continue to use it

>I'm not a hardware engineer, I've failed miserably in software engineering and now run a VPS host.

I’m curious how hard hosting VPS as a business was to get off the ground? I’ve worked 5 years previously as a Linux sysadmin, but am getting pretty bored at my current job (administering Cisco VOIP systems). Think I’d rather go back to that

Gigabit Ethernet require 4 twisted pairs i.e. 8 individual cables. 100Mb Ethernet requires 2 pairs i.e. 4 individual cables. At least in standard configuration

An interesting case of “what could have been.” Imagine if they pulled it off and mainstreamed quad core processors in the late 80s!
