Fun fact this is how I learned a coworker pegged her husband. He wasn’t gay, but had no interest in topping her either. C’est la vie.

I took can make up fanciful ideas that don’t pass the smell test.

ROCm certainly has gotten better, but the weird edge cases remain; alongside the fact that merely getting certain models to run is problematic. I am hoping that RNDA4 is paired with some tooling improvements. No more massive custom container builds, no more versioning nightmares. At my last startup we tried very hard to get AMD GPUs to work, but there were too many issues.

Unfortunately getting an AI workload to run on those XTXs, and run correctly, is another story entirely.

My plan is to wait a few months for the software quality to mature, then migrate from my Deck to this one.

Yup, $100 too much and I get what out of it? I have a 12 Pro and there hasn’t been a single compelling feature in the past 3 generations.

Start job hunting now. By the sound of it they are one of those PE firms that zombie walk every acquisition into mediocrity.

Ultimately Linus’ opinion here does not matter in the positive. He can say Rust in kernel is good, but that does not summon the skill and work to make it happen. He can say it’s bad and quash it, at the potential expense of Linux’s future. His position of avoiding an extreme is a pragmatic one. “Let them come if they may, and if they do not it was less a loss for us.”

Fact is Rust isn’t ready for every part of the kernel. C/Rust interop is still a growing pain for Linux and troubleshooting issues at the boundary require a developer to be good at both. It’s an uphill battle, and instead of inciting flame wars they could have fostered cooperation around the parts of the kernel that were more prepared. While their work is appreciated and they are incredibly talented, the reality is that social pressures are going to dictate development. At the end of the day software is used by people. Their expectations are not law, but they do need addressed to preserve public opinion.

I’ve been second guessing WP deployments as well, but I think the most likely outcome is a community fork once Mullenweg’s brain rot affects commercial interests too much.

In your second link it contradicts what you say about it not mattering if it’s true, right below the section you quoted:

“If the act relates to matters of public interest and has been conducted solely for the benefit of the public, the truth or falsity of the alleged facts shall be examined, and punishment shall not be imposed if they are proven to be true. (See Article 230-2 of the Criminal Code). Article 32 of the Criminal Code provides for the Statute of Limitations for filing a criminal action for defamation which shall prescribe in ten (10) years.”

The mistake was applying logic to a position they didn’t use logic to arrive at. Their talking heads say renewables bad. The thought process ended there.
