Which is why I never buy ATI cards ever again.

Good, they were bought out in 2006 and no longer exist.

I assume you mean AMD, and I also assume you didn't actually read the article.

The AMDGPU driver was never designed for cards before Polaris (GCN 1.4). The specific card in question, a R9 M380, was released in early 2015, and in 3 months, will be 10 years old.

The bug listed only exhibits itself on Macs, which requires a custom firmware to cope with the oddities in how Macintels boot and function, and pre-Polaris cards especially on a Mac are not well tested on AMDGPU. The bug does not happen on real x86 machines.

At no point can AMD be blamed for any of this, but Apple most certainly can (refusal to ship a compliant UEFI firmware, and instead shipping the nightmare that Macintels used during their existence).


For what it's worth, Apple's UEFI firmware is likely not compliant because they began using EFI before it was standardized. You can blame them for not updating it later, but I can understand why they didn't; it was working.

They were using OpenFirmware, the standard that EFI is built on, but their first x86 CPU was a Core 1 iirc, which had shipped with a UEFI on real PCs.

Are you sure their early EFI contained anything from OpenFirmware, except for conceptual inspiration, maybe?

Intel wanted to rip OpenFirmware off and wanted to EEE it without paying lip service to Sun et al.

It isn't an accident that both, for example, use Forth.

Thanks for an insightful comment! I have two university degrees in Economics and have never heard of reactive diffusion field pricing engines until today.

There's an interesting arxiv paper here, I haven't read it in depth but shows some academic activity in the area at least

Me too


But teams already have planner. No Microsoft zealot organizations are using Trello anymore


This is not for people


Yeah but corporations who operate teams will want to stay in their licensing walled garden regardless of it being humans or agents.


I for one enjoy my cash back points with American Express. This is not a commercial.


After paying 5% Commission to them in the overpriced stores that take it. Great Job, you played yourself


That is correct. And I get 10-30 000 usd in business class tickets per year for a fraction (only paying taxes) with companion tickets and bonus points to buy business tickets. It is an expensive hobby but totally worth it.

I am also about to score life time golf status at one of the airlines. Yes thank you


If the store increases prices due to cash back cards, and I don't have a cash back card, then I'm losing. If I have a cash back card, then I'm losing less.


Or you just shop at a store that doesn't accept American Express and charges lower prices.

Amex acceptance is lousy for a reason


Nope. Merchant pays.


And who pays the merchant? I think you're this close to getting it...


> And who pays the merchant?

Card and cash users alike.


Is this the way we can have HL3 also?


Good to reduce fraud, isn't this zero trust in practice.


I for one is awaiting for the world to completely decompile and or reverse engineering the IBM mainframe microcodes for all their machines.

Number 1 because Mainframes without the microcode is sent to the junkyard.

Applies here. SGI hardware holds interest because "ooh pretty animations/GL". IBM is great stuff, but it's all workhorses.


Cool! With openclaw or with Claude?


Claude.
