There was a king once named Damocles that had a sword suspended over his throne that could come crashing down at any random moment and kill him, to remind himself of the fragility of his power, and human life.
I have no idea how that anecdote might apply to people in power in this day and age, or why people would reference the anecdote.
Glares at the fraying rope
Yes but 22 minutes is longer than 17 minutes
Think of it like a pizza oven
How well done is your pizza?
I’m probably going to upset a few Star Wars fans with this, but in the original version that I saw of the New Hope / Ep4, both Han and Greedo have their blaster pistols drawn under the table, and Han shoots Greedo first.
I’ve seen the entire internet argue about who shot first, but the irony is that if he didn’t shoot first he would get shot by Greedo and the story would end right there.
It wasn’t murder, it was quickdraw. :)
TLDR: ROCM is AMD’s variant for general purpose compute on GPUs, like CUDA is for NVIDIA.
OpenAI being for profit.
I use ROCM extensively (I write, design and train my own AIs/LLMs) and it’s annoying of an acronym, especially in command lines:
--rocm-6.6.7.2-dev1 --cuda
But I figure it’s a four letter acronym to match “CUDA”.
I also pronounce it “Rock’em” in verbal versus “Koo’dah” (Barracuda).
Everything is about marketing and goodwill. You can just say something has “blast processing” and fail to elaborate.
You’re the furry, aren’t you
Yeah, the dating apps are monetized to all hell, you guys have called it right.
I was on them a decade ago, and I’m classically handsome, mentally stable, good job, etc; went looking for a serious partner with similar life goals, and all I got was catfishing and trolls.
After I subscribed to the premium tier, I began getting messages from real people but I was so disgusted by the transparent greed that I swore off all dating websites and services and went the offline route, meeting my current SO through real life friends at a social event.
Starve the beast, as the conservatives say. Deny them their money.
I’ll take the furry :3
I’m just imagining you shuffling out wearing six layers of different colored sweaters on the frozen tundra surface, lmao
I was forced to calculate the black body temperature and radiation for the Earth, back in college by hand.
I decided for fun to zero out the sun from the equation to see what would happen.
My math came out to about -32°C average surface temperature.
Earth would become an ice planet.
I think you’d uh, need a bit more than a sweater in those conditions 😅
I bought my 7900XTX for $800, and have kept absolutely quiet about it.
Anyone who has asked me: “AMD sucks, CUDA better, buy NVDA stock”.
The invisible hand of the market is made of invisible delicious meat
I go into a meditative, Zen-like Trance playing the Doom titles.
For reference, I’ve been playing Doom since it came out in 1993, arguably, I’ve played it for more hours than possibly anyone alive on the Internet at the present moment. Maybe over a solid 128,000 hours between D1/D2/D3/D2016/D:Eternal.
I still play it, various MegaWADS featured in the CacoAwards, and whatnot, but I digress.
My feeling with this is, as they’d say:
“Your judgement for the sin of wrath is an eternity in Hell”.
“Why are you smiling? It’s supposed to be a punishment.”
“No, adjudicator, I heard you perfectly. An eternity in paradise.”
Your great grandpa looks like my great grandpa
Wtf OP
That scissor style used to cut portraits is pretty distinctive to the USSR
… Are we related?
Anyone know the cost per kilogram?
Edit: Apparently $20,000/kg
No it does not
Jesus lol
Yeah, but is it any good?
It could be 900 pages of Gollum Porn for all we know.
Oh, I finished it already and got the true ending.
Just like Stalker 1, it pays to not blindly run at quest markers and make up your own mind.
The game is a treat, but struggles to run on many systems, so my recommendation is the following:
FSR 3.1: Quality (66% resolution scale)
Frame Generation: On
AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2: On
1440p Epic on a 7900XTX averages 60 FPS in busy towns like Rostok.
60 FPS Native -> 120 FPS FSR 3.1 -> 240 FPS AFMF
I’ve got a 240 Hz OLED (for the dark scenes), and the total video draw latency with all of that is 3.11 ms.
I bought STALKER 2, a masterpiece of post apocalyptic fiction and storytelling.
I was running the game on launch, an old friend calls me up on Discord, and says:
“So how is it?”
I say: “I don’t know yet, I just got to the first town past the tutorial.”
He says: “No, I mean the multiplayer.”
I lost the ability to think for a good 30-60 seconds trying to formulate the right string of words to respond with, from the psychic damage he’d inflicted with the presumption that it was a live service multiplayer game.
I think capitalism has weaponized brain rot into profits. As long as people open their wallets and not their brains, things will continue as planned. We’re literally paying for it.
I have an AMD card, add VLC as a game in the drivers, and you can turn on AMFM (frame gen).
If it doesn’t work you could just turn it on system wide in display settings of the Adrenaline Software (gear upper right corner, display/gaming).
I think it requires at least a 6000 series GPU however.
If you have a Samsung TV or other modern smart TV connected to a laptop, you can also turn on frame-gen using Auto Motion Plus, set to Custom.
Judder Reduction 10 is double frames, so 24 FPS -> 48.
I have the opposite – almost all vegetation has a taste and it’s quite good.
Basil? Yes. Garlic… Cabbage Spinach Asparagus Broccoli Carrots! Peppers! Beets!
I just made a huge pot of Borscht last night with beets, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, basil and olive oil - it’s going to feed me for days!
Feel bad for the people missing out on how tasty Earth plants are
