>>107728488TI ironically made the first calculator IC suitable for a battery powered calculator. But they never made an actually good one beyond their first ventures. HP made all the good calculators, nobody who knows anything will disagree. And they used the TI chip for their first one(s?) but soon switched to their own ICs.The guy who invented floating point math, worked for HP on their calculators, they are the only ones considered good enough to do financial math in court (look it up) and Excel has always tried to match the results of the 12C for financial shit with varying levels of success. It's like, banker certified.They also invented the first 64-bit CPU, in the form of the HP-16C programmer's calculator which can simulate, in hardware, any number of bits up to 64. It's essentially designed for computer programmers but also especially for simulating new CPU designs even at glacial speeds. It runs on 3 of those hearing aid batteries. First hardware 64-bit computer. First battery powered 64-bit computer. Back in like, 1983?

Bill Gates has no taste and is the furthest thing from a product designer. All he cared about was selling as many copies of his third-rate OS software as possible. IBM going with Microsoft instead of Digital Research for the 5150 is the original sin of personal computing. It directly led to Microsoft swallowing up the entire desktop market, an unmitigated disaster for human progress that the world has yet to recover from.

>>107737921>IBM going with Microsoft instead of Digital Research for the 5150 is the original sin of personal computing.No it's not. The original sin was Torvalds copying a microkernel API, originally developed for a machine with a pittance of the memory of the original IBM machine (the old 8086 with 639 KiB RAM) and grafting it onto a hybrid kernel LARPing as a monokernel, including the same old broken file semantics that make libaio useless and io_uring a retarded band-aid that proved insufficient within three years of its release (hence openat2(RESOLVE_CACHED)) ...... and somehow Microsoft *still* lost to these retards and have been making up post-hoc excuses about deliberate trade-offs ever since.

If you aren't in the commit history, you are a leech.If you are running proprietary software, do not report bugs.If you are using a meme distribution, gaming distribution, or any distribution that has an 'official discord' - do not ask for help.If the first version of Linux you used was kernel version > 2.6, lurk for another decade before giving your opinion. Every inane thought you have in your tiny head has already been discussed. Your opinion is not a contribution. The correct and prevailing opinion has always been - and will always be - that of the people who actually write the code.

stat /dev/kfd
>>107738467>>107738225Also /dev/dri is probably needed
>>107738437AFAIK kernel and modules are 100% the same. I guess the "module" in the error message means something else.>>107738467>>107738473Yes, they exist. What are those even?
>>107738481The kfd device is what's used to interface with the GPU for compute workloads and /dev/dri is for render nodes.If you have that then I'm not sure why it doesn't work. I can use ROCm in an Archlinux chroot on my Gentoo host system. I would guess maybe your kernel is too old?
>>107738481should double check they're the same. that is ensure the modules folder in (chroot) /var/lib/modules is the same name you see when running uname -r

What is Steam's secret? Why is Steam so succesfull?
>>107731743being a private company definitely helps.
>>107732388The only bad thing from this list is probably their support for paid modding, which ruined the modding community as a result.
>>107738077Because you don't own the products you pay with your hard earned money, thats morally wrong. >b-b-but legal piracy will destroy game devs!Piracy is already defacto unenforced and you can find any game/movie for free. Still doesnt matter because people who buy on steam will always buy on steam, or on bluray or whatever. Collectors will always exist.Piracy is even even easier with less risk because you have linux which literally can play games/movies in a sandbox with flatpak like heroic or a movie player so your chances of malware are slim to none. Also theres entire communities which scan and watch every single upload from these repackers and download sites like steamrip or fitgirl which are already trusted to begin with.Even with ALL of this, piracy still hasnt impacted indie sales. Hugely popular game shilled by streamers.Schedule 1 sold over 8 million copies on steam. Maybe 30,000-60,000 people have pirated it, maybe more who knows even if we say 100k thats a drop in the bucket of people that never would've paid for the game anyways.Comment too long.

>>107705810I have found the names and addresses of youtubers near me by looking at their videos. One of them pointed their camera out of their garage when the door was open, i got a glimpse of the street, a stop sight, a newly planted tree, and the general curvature of the road. Since i knew he lived near me based on the roads he drove in previous videos, and i knew his house was newer, i was able to track down the newest sub divisions in my local area and look for that pattern of street, stop sign, and newly planted tree in the neighbors yard. After double and triple checking for features common in the 2 different perspectives, garage facing out, and ariel looking down, i had a 100% match. I later confirmed this by driving by and verifying the vehicles parked in his driveway (they were the same as the ones he filmed in his channel).Dont post stuff on the internet at all if you don't want bored autists to find out about you.

>>107731379>1 Wikipedia article page saved as ASCII text takes up 25KB at the lowest.There's a reason compression programs like pkzip were popular back then. Deflate compression doesn't need much CPU or RAM, and squeezes ASCII prose text down to 10-20% of the space it normally takes up.
>>107736251you know it's hard to tell when someone is pretending to be retarded. which I assume is what you or someone was doing.
The early PC years were full of creativity. I enjoy downloading shareware collections and testing random programs: office, astronomy, education, text adventures, assembler libraries, early media, cool pictures and audio... Lots of people were into programming and managed to share even without internet.There was also a great scene of text files with ezines, funny tutorials from flamethrower building to pressing like Captain Crunch, carding, all that shit.

>>107738208Okay I get it, but I mean, lets say I have 16gb of vram. Wouldn't I'd rather want to squeeze in a q4/q5 of a 32/24b model rather than drop from a q5 to a q4 just to fit in a q4+3b or whatever speculative model ontop?Or is the idea that you make the drop from a higher bit quant "worth" it by using the smaller model to juice the speed up to compensate for the quality drop?
>>107738239Speculative models are supposed to be small enough to make it worth the speed gain. A 1b model for speculative while the main one is 32b or higher is fine. It's just 1gb (+ context) for a potential 3 or 4x in token gen speed (and only for easily predictable tasks like coding). If you're coping with a q1xxxxxxxs_small_compacted_tiny_trimmed and struggling with the 74kb left in your gpu, speculative is not for you. As described, it's for the ones that have an extra h200 laying around for an 8b.But even for the mortals, if there was a good implementation and compatible models, it could be worth it if you have some spare vram and a good 500m or whatever speculator model.It'd be up to you to decide whether it's worth it or not.
