When you follow ROCm's happy path it works well for getting things like PyTorch running, but you do end up putting up with enterprise distros like Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and its often broken by default network stack. Enabling ROCm support fo

I disagree, my problem with Catholic Schools is due to poor experience with the Jesuit ones I attended, they just were not staffing quality teachers (not surprising when they pay teachers $10k a year less than public schools) and each Archd

AMD's software stack is usable if your willing to run a buggy distro like Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. You know it's buggy when the Ubuntu installer gets on the network just fine, but it misnames the Ethernet interface and chokes on the WiFi

The Amazon Basics Graviton ARM SoC currently powers Ubiquiti's networking hardware. So far not much to write home about for that product line, though perhaps supply issues from Amazon or an unwillingness to provide vendor credit is why

Unstable shelter based housing can be godawful. People need housing that lets them work (even if they are evening or night shift), store their possessions safely, have privacy, dignity and separation to prevent the spread of colds and such.
