I have a ryzen apu, so I was curious. I tried yesterday to fiddle with it, and managed to up the “vram” to 16gb. But installing xformers and flash-attention for LLM support on igpus is not officially supported and was not possible to install anything past pytorch. It’s step further for sure, but still needs lots of work.

Linux, thanks to steam, is better at gaming than windows, esecially for older games. Proton ftw

I don’t understand why linux doesn’t get all the love patches like Windows.

ROCm? Is that even supported now? Last time I checked it was still a dumpster fire. What are the RAM and VRAM reqs for the Mixtral8x7b?

I stumbled upon a website through DDG, and after a long intro, the main section supposedly where the thing I was searching for had “Sorry I can’t fulfill your request right now”. Basically a fully generated page to match my search with some parasitic seo tactics. The web be chaging. Front page of DDG.

- Comment on Windows 11 scores dead last in gaming performance tests against 3 Linux gaming distros 1 year ago:
Heroic
This. While the experience for Gaming on linux is still not perfect, or as easy as install and play, Heroic is a good start. It still requires configuration and many hidden configs are not always obvious for the user, but I managed to run every game I threw at it flawlessly so far. All AAA games, and games from 2000 (Hitman, C&C games, Jazz Jackrabbit etc…), GoW, Cyberpunk, Hogwarts, etc. On a RTx 2070.
- Comment on Lucid dream startup says engineers can write code in their sleep. Work may never be the same 1 year ago:
I feel also the concept of “work” is viewed from employer/employee perspective, but I’d argue it should be viewed more from "useful” development one. Like reading a fiction book vs a non-fiction.

I think what he was trying to say, implementing those strategies would deter 90% of rookies (using kali toolkit as a service), but not the 10% who got the right technical knowledge and enough motivation to clamp down on what they want.

That sucks. But again US salaries are a whole different league.
- Comment on Navigating the Complex Landscape of Tech Recruitment: Personal Insights and Open Discussion 1 year ago:
That’s some solid advice. If I may add, I had many instances during the technical interviews, where I just told them I don’t know or I don’t care or I don’ think it’s relevant for what I want to do. Few of them looked shocked and moved on to the next question, but it worked for the company I work at now. I’m based in EU though, maybe US culture is different.
