Someone on the github issue thread has been asking for clinfo output on affected systems, theorising that client issues are caused by issues with vendor detection.

This is a bit of an ask, but if it’s quick to jump forward and back between ROCm releases on your setup, would you be able to pass your clinfo output from 7.2.0 into the ticket linked above? No worries if not

I uploaded a quick video about the issue for Github. Passing it along to you as well :)

appreciate you 😊

@jaz@toot.wales Great, the CFP for the track is now open!

Ooooo, nice! I made the same thing recently, but this one uses threadiverse communities for the Usenet groups - https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/p/1904499/back-to-the-future-interacting-with-threadiverse-communities-through-usenet-nntp

I work in this industry and they’re (predictably) blowing it way out of proportion. These things are prohibitively expensive for everyone but huge corporations. Thousands of dollars for the devices and add more on top for the controller/server

Pretty sure this isnt new technology. Its new to the public, but im 90% sure magicians had access to something like this already.

@brooke oh, great. Let me know if you ever need any favours. I also won't be in a rush.

Is there any good courses that cover the more technical aspects of backend development? Here are some examples, not even limited to this, but I want to hear more than the basics and also some security things to look out for in like a yt video or something, potentially includes, CORS, Cookies, JWT, server side sessions, server side rendering, websockets, server side events, html patterns (e.g the backend returning html components to be place into the browser). Status Codes, GET and POST, GRPC, file transfers.

Boot.dev covers a lot of this. They have a Typescript and a Go path that you can choose between. They do take a computer science basics approach to their backend courses, which has pros and cons. This means that there’s a significant number of courses, and a lot of them rely on learnings from previous ones. If you have any coding experience, you can probably skip all the Python and C courses and jump right into the meat of it. It’s also a go at your own pace monthly subscription course. Again, pros and cons. As an experienced frontend dev, I got through the Typescript course in about 2 months that’s spending a good amount of time each week on it. There is also an active Discord community that you can reach out to with questions if the my butt assistance bot isn’t able to answer them, but it’s pretty good.

Attorney Cindy Cohn talks to Jon Stewart about her new book, “Privacy’s Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance,” and her work as executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which is the world’s biggest and oldest digital rights organization. She recounts the fight against sweeping government surveillance after ⁹⁄₁₁, her reservations about internet regulations backfiring if placed in the wrong hands, and why the solution to these problems is a combination of comprehensive privacy law, revised business models of giant tech companies who make money off of user data, and more platform choices for individuals. “A world where there are five big media companies that decide everything that we see and how we see it… the answer isn’t to try to take a dictator and make them a better dictator. The answer is to get rid of the dictators and make them less important.”

She mentions Mastodon and Jon doesn’t understand how reddit is curating his experience. It’s a good piece because they’re such opposites, but both have great intentions.

Btw idk why I have anxiety the entire time… (no, not anxiety about the plot… like just random anxiety) but besides that….

Great experience (ish… I rather own a movie theater and have it all by myself so I don’t have so much anxiety)

BIG SCREEN

My favorite sequence was when:

::: spoiler SPOILERS Rocky risks his life to save Grace

I like the sequence of like the darkness and then a flash of light to show whats going on… that was so cool

I love the moments of silence…

So much different from just watching it on a 15.6 inch screen + headphones at home… (and also I’d have to wait for home release…) :::

(Put any spoilers in tags pls)

I actually keep a list on my Letterboxd of every movie I know I’ve seen in theaters. I go pretty frequently cause I just love the environment plus it’s the only thing to do that’s entertaining and gets me out of the house.

Oh, I’m gonna get weird on you here, check it out:

As a very young boy back in the 70s, I remember being taken to a local theater by my brother, sister and their friends, and this theater was showing old movies or pre-movie reels, so my first cinema memory was what I now think was black-and-white Flash Gordon!

When the Jessica Lange and Jeff Bridges version of King Kong was still in big city theaters, another theater in my town screened… check it out… Godzilla Vs Mechanikong! And I was taken to see that one.

My very first proper movie in a large city experience, was to go to two separate theaters that day, the first was to see the star-studded war film A Bridge Too Far in the afternoon. Then the other, later one in the evening, was… drum roll, please… Star Wars. Which involved standing in line, waiting for three hours, or so.
