> That sounds like koolaid marketing to me. That's a fact: check HPL, MLPerf, Spec, etc. results. MLPerf is the perfect example, were your results are only accepted if they can be verified by others. Where is AMD in there? (nowhere,

Ah, gotcha, agree that makes no sense. We only self-host gitlab and zulip.

Also, what happens if you find a leak? Or that it has been moved somewhere else? They say "We are sorry", give you some free credit, and that's it ?

I'm not devops, but how hard is it to properly set up VPN / ssh ? We have a gitlab server, and connecting requires being on VPN, which requires 2FA, and then ssh, which requires your keys to be properly set up.

And doing this is so simple. Just host your own gitlab server, and version all your company's IP on git. For chat we use Zulip, which we also self-host. And honestly moving to these tools from slack, confluence, etc. has been awesome.

CUDA compiles to CPUs, and AMD has support for CUDA via HIP. Not that this matters because your argument is flawed. The claim that CUDA is not worth using because it lacks portability, only holds, if there is hardware worth using that'

Rust doesn't have the "static in header" problem, but it does have the "always inline" and "macros" problem. The "always inline" problem is smaller in Rust, because it does Thin LTO by default, c

What's big in C or C++ translation units are header files, but since these mainly contain declarations, and declarations do not require code generation, they don't create any work for the compiler backend. Rust translation units d

Somebody below mentions that nvidia donated free GPUs to the developers of these open source frameworks. Why didn't AMD do this as well? I thought AMD was strong on supporting open source.

I'm all in SMIC stocks. You can get a sizeable part of the company today for cheap, and if sanctions continue, and issues with Taiwan scalate, China is going to go all-in SMIC as well.

You forgot "6. Sell all underlying shares and calls before everything collapses". At some point, market makers shouldn't be able to sell you more calls. That's when you dump.

Doesn't clang already implement this ? LLVM can process multiple codegen units in parallel already, and many frontends split TUs into multiple codegen units.

They should have thought about what could happen _before_ selling ARM. TBH seeing them crying is sad and pathetic.
