It's a prompt. Writing anything for that purpose is code gardening, but hey it's in rust so I'm supposed to be excited? That, in essence is the problem "X in rust" normally means "I've written something of

> Completely guessing, but the thought comes to mind that Rust was (still is? I don't keep up these days) portrayed as The C Killer. So to specify "written in Rust" was to imply "I wrote something low-level without C&

Of course. It's obvious why.... The bath tubs are too small.

Rocm hasn't been the the problem in my experience. It's things like pytorch on rocm. It uses hippify to convert cuda code to hip rather than having native support. It "works", but it's an obvious second class citize

Am I the only one who is getting tired of "It's X in rust" type projects? It's making me dislike the community. Rust is not a user feature, it's an implementation detail. <cue people telling me I should consider

That's exactly my point. Cross dependencies is exactly the problem I want CI to solve.

GitHub actions would suck whatever you "configured" them in, because you are trying to describe a program in a data structure. Ansible makes the same mistake, as do countless other tools.

You're safe because you're right.

Monorepos are a problem born of CI which can't cope with cross project dependencies properly. People have solved the problem by pumping everything together, but it's the wrong answer. Fix CI and the problem goes away.

So Ryzen? Same fabs and nodes as Apple.

Calling Apple Mx "a modified phone" CPU is doing it a disservice. It's a synergy of mobile design with desktop design.

It's the point where you're no longer an individual contributor. Running a team and keeping people on target is difficult remotely. Consensus is difficult remotely. Feedback is difficult remotely. Getting your head down and coding

If somebody can show me a coding task that LLMs have successfully done that isn't an interview question or a documentation snippet, I might start to value it. Spending huge amount of resource to be a bit better at autocompleting code d

Ellama for Emacs look promising, but I only tried to install it this morning.

I'm honestly failing to see the utility for LLMs, because the context for any given problem is far too small, and we're already at 33B parameter models. They just don't seem to be a technology that scales to an interesting pr

There are these things called Loras (Low Ranked adaptions) which do exactly this. "A language model with billions of parameters may be LoRA fine-tuned with only several millions of parameters." -- Wikipedia

Machine learning can tackle this for sure, but that's surely separate to LLMs. A language model deals with language, not logic.

The problem there is with PyTorch. They've got bugs in their AMD build flow that people keep pointing out to them, but because it's people with consumer cards which are "unsupported" (which just means AMD won't per

It's Hawaii. They're literally sitting on an infinite energy supply and have almost continuous sun (apart from nights).

LLM? Probably ok. Image diffusion? Not so hot, but better than CPU.

Not OP, but I read their words as neither of the options you suggest. Claiming "I was provoked" as justification means some arbitrary line was crossed. That line will be different for you and me, and as such it's not an objec

The "attempt to save critical data" is a pretty major difference.

In that situation, you just move it.

It's because Americans use the term "gas" to mean the liquid fuel they put in their cars. In the UK it's just "gas". It would be far better if we called it methane, but that's not really accurate either. I

"PyTorch uses the best backend it has available. If that's CUDA, it will use CUDA. It will also use ROCm on AMD GPUs and optimised BLAS libraries on CPUs. These backeds are selected at compile time though, so you need to install a
