Mythos numbers are effectively irreproducible aside from cherry-picked approvals.

It’ll be a better place when Wayland (and by extension Gnome/KDE) stops becoming a cargo cult hell bent on destroying X11/Xlibre.

That’s fine as long as I can identify and reject any Mythos derived patch as being irreproducible.

So given how ARM has favored closed-ended boxes like the Switch, how is this any different than a Switch with a keyboard and Windows RT?

Between that and the Arc Pro B70, they’re the 32gb cards that are actually affordable and worth getting.

I’ve got both (single R9700, dual B70) and they do nicely for about anything I throw at them, such that the latter has a visible improvement when the model is well-cached.

No problem unless you’re an illegal alien or aid/abet one.

Because you want something that runs more than macOS nor has privacy issues that Apple software does?

Dr. Zhivago, eat your heart out.

You don’t happen to know a certain Doc Brown?

Not so much angry at the actual dotcom era but more of the fallout of offshoring that followed.

One of the notable figures in that, Carly Fiorina, made a point to “forget the engineers”.

Looks like Bambu wants to speedrun to being the (modern) HP of 3D printing.

And they’ll probably just tow the recalled trucks outside the environment.

Just buy a Textron golf cart and you have 90% of the Chinese EV experience.

The US still has enough power to stop it though, thankfully.

We aren’t captured by environmental activists that force the poor to shoulder the compliance burden while the rich get to defer and delay.

Until NVidia prices get better, I’ll build out with the Intel stack and keep the cache (and prompt processing speeds) happy.

As for software, anything that has a SYCL or Vulkan backend, and/or can be Intel optimized (especially to the same degree as llama.cpp) can run well.

It’s 32gb for people who can’t go for scalped 5090s but have a 3090 budget.

I have a pair of them with a 9480 and the only thing I have to do is keep the cache happy.

Wait, it didn’t already or am I confusing it with the VESA support on Linux?

So by the time Mythos is widely and generally available, it’ll be generations behind.

No thanks, but I’d rather not have mysterymeat patches from effectively impossible to replicate models.

Interesting to see them do this when the original study in Singapore did not (initially) enact the ban.

Did they just follow on from New Zealand?

Looks like Google is taking a page from Microsoft regarding embrace, extend, extinguish.

At this point, they’re at the Extinguish stage.

I see that Meta (if that’s still the case) is going for the gold here.

Hmm.

I had to rebuild llama.cpp from source with the SYCL and CPU specific backends.

Started with a barebones Ubuntu Server 24 LTS install, used the HWE kernel, pulled in the Intel dependencies for hardware support/oneapi/libze, then built llama.cpp with the Intel compiler (icx?) for the SYCL and NATIVE backends (CPU specific support).

In short, built it based mostly on the Intel instructions.

For some workloads, the Arc Pro B70 actually does reasonably well when cached.

With some reasonable bring-up, it also seems to be more usable versus the 32gb R9700.

Which helps none, since that gates behind established actors.

Or melange, if we’re talking about Herbert’s Dune series.

> we only planned for the absolute best case scenario, why didn't that scenario happen?

IRGC sympathizers across the world that would rather have the current government than the more progressive predecessor.

…at the end stage.

Then what prevents the US from just seizing or sinking any vessel presumed to have paid up?

Not with the last 20 years in good memory.

You would have to openly make them a protected class before that would happen.

Well, your approach requires the collection of identities associated with particular political alignment(s). And that you need both pieces linked together for it to work - where neither alignment nor identity mean anything separately.

Aside from public figures, that is very much in the realm of doxxing.
