Looking at the Product Conformance pages, it looks like you need a GCN 1.0 device for Vulkan 1.0 support (current is 1.4).

Thames was a Terrascale 2 architecture (i.e. the one before GCN1.0) and as such can’t support Vulkan or DX12.

Easier to dump the hot water and get new cold water.

Nvidias latest gen looks to be 30% faster after 2 years of development with about the same power usage increase. So no reduction in Joules per GOP, just a speed increase.

In 6 years they might go 2x the speed of today but need double the watts (to deliver the same energy in half the time).

A company can have value without making profit. It can own assets. It has value in its staff.

Now should it have a valuation like OpenAI? Fuck no!

The rationale for doing this must only be for fun. You’re talking about a project that will take man years, and the price of a new vulkan capable graphics card is $300-400.

I have no idea what this company is…who this person is…and by the looks of it, I’ll never need to.

A federated system of discussion groups. That’s such a 90s idea.

Just learn the basic POSIX commands (there’s probably 20-25) and understand pipes. Then you can do pretty much anything you’re likely to need from the command line. Sure, there will be more modern flashy friendly tools that come along. Some you’ll integrate into what you do. Some won’t have enough staying power to remember.

No notes. No googling or LLM. Just don’t skip to the end.

An army of cybernetic penguins?

I can see lots of subtle bugs coming from this.

Develop and everything working great. Deploy on server with different HWCaps and you’re now running different code.

Op is right though. It’s still a cost/benefit situation, and the benefit is not enough to justify the cost.

Sure, but there’s an lot of people classifying disagreement as hatred and using that to stamp out the discourse we need to have as a society.

Take positive discrimination. Some see it as corrective action for historical injustices. Some see it as newspeak it for just another form of discrimination and two wrongs don’t make a right. There’s a societal discourse that needs to happen there.

Nobody is preaching hatred, but I expect I’ll get shit for even suggesting there’s a ethical argument against DEI.

It would be if the administration signed an ethics declaration.

No

Python doesn’t have casts and is strongly typed.

I don’t understand how you think the smaller coupon gets more volume. It gets no volume as the hypothetically “good honey” redirects everyone away from it.

We never have been 100% renewable in the UK. It’s more that we go into surplus and shutting generators down is more expensive than the price going negative. Hence we won’t get huge negative prices. Connectors to other countries can only export so much.

It also only happens when:

• long term weather forecast underestimated weather based generation.
• demand is low. (E.g. weekend and public holidays)

The population of Germany is only 25% bigger than the UK, so I think the two are comparable. A larger manufacturing base will make the demand-side curve more predictable though. Still, we’re largely talking about the effect of supply unpredictability.

That’s still a shitty exploitative business model. A bit less deceptive, but that original coupon vendor is still having affiliate revenue stolen from them.

They are under development, and there is a small market for development machines. It also allows the manufacturer to understand the issues they’ll get once the high performance processors are here.

Nobody has really made performance implementations yet. They’re all IoT level or low end mobile device.

Tenstorrent are probably the closest to having something serious.
