  • 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.

    Yeah, the dating apps are monetized to all hell, you guys have called it right.

    I was on them a decade ago, and I’m classically handsome, mentally stable, good job, etc; went looking for a serious partner with similar life goals, and all I got was catfishing and trolls.

    After I subscribed to the premium tier, I began getting messages from real people but I was so disgusted by the transparent greed that I swore off all dating websites and services and went the offline route, meeting my current SO through real life friends at a social event.

    Starve the beast, as the conservatives say. Deny them their money.












  • I’m a long distance sprinter.

    I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone, I’m a glutton for punishment.

    Also: I get lapped by people who keep a consistent pace because while I’ve got explosive power, it also involves recovery from the anaerobic sprint. My legs are tree trunks also, another downside.

    So overall, as evolution proves, steady wins the race.
