My idea of doing this is bringing AGI sooner. Human body is an inelegant and unoptimized vehicle for intelligence.

And I want to become a billionaire tomorrow. Except there is some actual very small probability of me becoming a billionaire, but I am nearly absolutely certain that one day I am going to die (save for some miracle-grade event). This worrie

I don’t understand this pervasive fear of death in the tech community. Yes, one day we are all going to die. Yes, one day the human civilization itself is going to die. The entire universe will die too. So what? We all knew this from the ag

Meaning that your DNA is not safe, even if you yourself never send it. DNA is leaking everywhere, anyone could collect it and send for analysis.

You know, you can send other peoples DNA to sequencing services too…

Any other way to know the information they are offering? It is hard to own your own sequencing machine.

But it has a great advantage: it is not made by Google (which also is probably the reason why it is not adopted too widely). I am trying to minimize using things originating from Google.

Hm, apparently, in the last years, HIP became much integrated into ROCm as the principal way of doing things. I was referring to the situation as of 2-3 years ago, when plain ROCm was a chore to write. OK, I retract my statement.

Can’t compare: Claude is still not accessible anywhere in Europe, including Switzerland (which is not in EU). Regional locking is the stupidest thing.

OP was talking about plain ROCm, not HIP. HIP is an “almost API-compatible CUDA”.

ROCm is not just unpopular, it is so boilerplate-ridden, it is nearly unusable. It takes about 5x more code to do things there compared to CUDA. Yes, “just use libraries”. But as Andrej Karpathy used to say, “I don't need some library
