Wild you're getting downvoted here, apparently using LLM is fine for reviews but hacking the system and getting noticed isn't?

Is the problem not they're using AI for review and court decisions that can easily get hacked? If I open ports that can get hacked or allow sql injections I'll lose my job straight away tomorrow, but apparently the justice system is immune from that?

Sounds like the price in Canadian or Australia dollars

> I was trying to use rocm with llama.cpp

completely offtopic but is rolling with rocm worth it? I spend a fair bit monthly on rental gpus for projects and going to upgrade at home instead, AMD has some solid winners here pricewise but get conflicting reports about using it for ML in 2026.

once upon a time it seemed unthinkable to use anything but nvidia but seems to have come a long way since I last looked, probably would be just pytorch and gemma 31B

I get the feeling the situation is only going to improve longer term so might be a good time to just do it

The amount of supercars and high end vehicles in Hsinchu is unreal. Probably all anyone needs to know here, until you've seen it firsthand you wouldn't understand.

Have seen this across the planet, it's not unique to Europe, I end up adding youtube to the search query because instagram or tiktok isn't what I'm looking for ever but that makes up the bulk of the results, instagram won't even show me the video without a login and is at the top wtf

Poisoning the well with fake/made up reddit posts is incredibly common these days.

Certain people have realised that if you start feeding the machine this poisoned data eventually it reaches millions of eyeballs. It's the new SEO.

Will you buy a computer chip with the same specs that costs 70% more? Please be honest with us all.

You'll do that because of national adversity?

I don't want to speak bad about them but it's just general demand for semiconductors at this point, everyone is just buying it all up because they can. The Arizona plant still doesn't seem to be pumping out and the self-sufficiency target for the US doesn't seem all there. Im sorry to be the bearer of bad news but honestly it's a culture that's hard to replicate and its how it somehow gets done in one country on Earth. The 2030 target for the states surely isn't happening, it's way too ambitious.

People really don't understand how this stuff is borderline magic turning silicon into these things. There's so much that can go wrong at every step, it's the most advanced manufacturing process on Earth.

Once upon a time chips went down in value but I don't think that's happening anymore, lot of other people seem aware of that. Not to mention the semiconductor talent is getting eaten up like pancakes everywhere.

But that's sorta of hits to the heart of my comment, it's not particularly working well. TSMC has 2 fabs in China and yields+costs are a fraction of whats coming out of Arizona, let alone in Hsinchu.

Like are you really going to buy a chip that costs 70% more out of national pride? Might work on some but think that very few else will sign up for that.

I get its sarcasm but TSMC has done so much to try to get the Americans getting some decent yields in their new factories and it's failing so hard, there's real questions about whether they can ever meet their targets. They've sent thousands of existing Taiwanese workers to help at this point and from anecdotal things I hear it's not going well. (I live in Taiwan)

This stuff is all blood, sweat and tears to get it done, and to be honest a culture.

You can't just buy it off the shelf. If that was possible everyone would have gone paid for it like an Ikea product years ago.

What does it matter?

All supply is supply, despite what certain folks seem to believe.
