Started documenting the AMD 7900XTX, PRs welcome. github.com/geohot/7900xtx

the memes write themselves now.
'everytime the gpu crashes - 1 minute meditation' - George Hotz 🌑

Spoke with Lisa Su. She was very polite, but said nothing of substance and indirectly rejected my offer.

Here’s a firmware crash, run ./loop.sh to trigger. Tested on tinybox and 1x7900XTX machine, ROCm 6.0.2 and 6.0.3 preview. Must reboot to bring back.

Never. Ever. Buy a tech product based on the promise of future software updates.

No need to hire me, just open source the 7900XTX firmware+docs and remove the signature check. We'd treat it like bring up for our own chip, get builds in CI, HITL testing, fuzzing, etc...

Deadline, end of the week? Otherwise I'm not spending more time thinking about this.

.Google, how much loss of market share is that nudge worth to you?

No.
If it were the case, we would have AI systems that could teach themselves to drive a car in 20 hours of practice, like any 17 year-old.

But we still don't have fully autonomous, reliable self-driving, even though we (you) have millions of hours of *labeled* training data.

The first $600 MLPerf training bounty has been claimed for ResNet-50. Two are locked, but three are still open for anyone!

Must train a qualifying model in < 24 hours. When you are ready for a run, we will get you access to a tinybox. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

it's never going to stop

Shouldn't be hard if the ADAS commands are there. I suspect Tesla needed to delay it because the cameras moved.

comma's model will just work, same way a person gets in different cars and can drive without issue.

I'd happily bet against this.

Is comma ready for the masses? slickdeals.net/f/17346615-fla…

I predict several car OEMs will go out of business, same as legacy phone manufacturers like Nokia and Blackberry. They don't get it.

Maybe I’m wrong, though.

Pull requests over emailed resumes might take off.

it’s entirely possible a new grad or a lateral talent—who works hard and really contributes well—could get a job by just actually doing the job directly.

No interview, plenty of bounties;

comma continues to impress me with every drive I take it on.

If AMD open sources their firmware, I'll fix their LLVM spilling bug and write a fuzzer for HSA. Otherwise, it's not worth putting tons of effort into fixing bugs on a platform you don't own.

You’re doing sales because you failed at marketing.

You’re doing marketing because you failed at product.

Reading Cory Doctorow @[email protected] has really upset me and reminded me about the Internet we could have had. Read up about 'enshittification'

People with tech skill, whatever Faustian bargain you justify to yourself for this isn't worth it. You will always be fine, the parasites won't. Quit.
