  • TLDR: ROCM is AMD’s variant for general purpose compute on GPUs, like CUDA is for NVIDIA.

    OpenAI being for profit.

    I use ROCM extensively (I write, design and train my own AIs/LLMs) and it’s annoying of an acronym, especially in command lines:

    --rocm-6.6.7.2-dev1  --cuda
    

    But I figure it’s a four letter acronym to match “CUDA”.

    I also pronounce it “Rock’em” in verbal versus “Koo’dah” (Barracuda).

    Everything is about marketing and goodwill. You can just say something has “blast processing” and fail to elaborate.

    Put four pots over the squares over the ground.

    Shoot the dragon head statues, the pedestals raise.

    The pedestals make stone grinding sounds and…

    Only one pedestal has raised, the pots have caused the animation to bug out and the game engine to assume that the pedestal is in the final position on the floor.

    The floor position has the lever locked.

    The game developer never anticipated what a massive idiot I was




  • I’m sorry; AI was trained on the sole sum of human knowledge… if the perfect human being is by nature some variant of a psychopath, then perhaps the bias exists in the training data, and not the machine?

    How can we create a perfect, moral human being out of the soup we currently have? I personally think it’s a miracle that sociopathy is the lowest of the neurological disorders our thinking machines have developed.



  • That seems to require a level of foresight and planning that most corporations don’t have. That’s almost like a blueprint for failure when some middle manager changes the scope of a project with a hard coded time limit, IMO.

    Anyone interested in not-agile development? Maybe we can call it “Ship it when it’s ready” lol




  • I had something like this happen at a corp I once worked at. The CTO said they were going to outsource their entire datacenter and support staff to India.

    I literally laughed in his face and obviously, got fired (always have 6-8 months of salary as an emergency fund, ahem-).

    I won’t name the company but when half the Internet went down and a few major services? Yeah, it was that asshat driving and running between the datacenters realizing people in Bangladesh can’t do shit for you physically.

    It’s like that graph: “Say we want to fuck around at a level 8, we follow this axis, and we’re going to find out at around a level 7 or 8”
