Spoke with @LisaSu. She was very polite, but said nothing of substance and indirectly rejected my offer.
Here’s a firmware crash, run ./loop.sh to trigger. Tested on tinybox and 1x7900XTX machine, ROCm 6.0.2 and 6.0.3 preview. Must reboot to bring back.

No need to hire me, just open source the 7900XTX firmware+docs and remove the signature check. We'd treat it like bring up for our own chip, get builds in CI, HITL testing, fuzzing, etc...
Deadline, end of the week? Otherwise I'm not spending more time thinking about this.

- FloatArtifact 3y agoIt would be great to have the premise of open source but I wouldn't if I were a CEO give in to that attitude.
- dagelf 3y agoIts not about attitude, its about logic: bottlenecks. Why do you want to bottleneck your own sales? Makes no sense.
- FloatArtifact 3y agoWell explain how it would be a bottleneck?
- imtringued 3y agoYou need people who have positive experiences with your products. Isn't that obvious? People's first impressions start with busted AMD GPUs and then they will switch to NVidia and you lost a customer, forever. It's that simple.
