If you click the "Radeon" tab here[1], dated 27 Jul, AMD claim ROCm support on a wide range of consumer cards, with HIP SDK support on RX 6800 and up, under Windows. The Linux situation seems less clear. 1: https://rocm

Gzip on genes is something I wondered about for a good while (since I read about "language trees and zipping" about 20 years ago[1].) Pleased to hear someone tried it! I was wondering in particular whether anyone looked at "j

In a 3D space, a vector would be (x,y,z), in 4D (x,y,z,w), etc. "One dimensional" simply means a vector is a straight line, as opposed to a plane or a solid.

Are you suggesting the cert problem is DNS related or the new captcha issue? DNS was ISP, not 1.1.1.1, and I get the same behaviour after switching to 8.8.8.8.

Interesting read! For a while now, I've had infrequently occurring arcane cert/SSL issues connecting to archive.ph and its siblings, but trying a couple of links from the article I find I can't get past an endless cycle of &q

Carroll's episode is worth listening to, not least for it's exceptionally clear exposition of the current physics consensus around QM, qft, standard model, etc., and how they are related, but the point you specifically mention is

It's odd how their Linux support documentation is so lackluster. I have an RX 6800 that runs stable diffusion fine with recent PyTorch on Linux, but looking at their Linux support info you wouldn't think this was possible. The sit

Right, but this was new in the last 48 hours or so I think.

Interesting to see consumer GPUs from RX 6800 up getting HIP support on windows, (on the "Radeon" tab) whereas I don't think I've seen them explicitly mentioned under Linux. I wonder if this will now change too?

It's become increasingly difficult to avoid systemd, making Slackware one of the few remaining reasonable options for that. My comment is (half-seriously) imagining that in the future Wayland will attain a similar dominance, in which

I see this more as a risk for the commercial application of LLMs in that it works against the brand identity LLM operators want.

Happy with Xorg, plan to continue using it as long as possible. Will switch to slackware to avoid Wayland. May switch earlier to dump systemd. And get xv back[1] 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36716090

Cheap yoghurt where I buy it tastes fine and has a pleasant consistency. YMMV.

Ordinary, but skimmed milk - mumsnet says you need to boil it for ~10 mins and then let it cool to ~40C before adding the live yoghurt culture. Working well so far! UHT is usable, and doesn't need to be boiled, but for that added conve

Anecdotally, UK, the cheapest yoghurt (believe me, I have researched!) just dropped from £1.10/l to about £0.7/l - anomalous considering the rampant groceries inflation we have, but there it is. Milk is about £0.64/l, so roug

As a physical model , as opposed to a purely mathematical entity, don't you need to add operators to the wave function in order to have applicability to observable phenomena? I'm no physicist, but applying operators to the wave f

From 1999, the linked article seems an interesting read on the intersection between 'hacker culture' and the libertarian project; dry and a little quaint. Readers might like to compare the more journalistic (and entertaining, IMO)
