BTW have you tried `KernelAbstractions.jl`? With it you can write code once that will run reasonably fast on AMD or NVIDIA GPUs or even on CPU. One of our engineers just started using it and is pleased with it - apparently the performance is nearly equivalent to native CUDA.jl or AMDGPU.jl, and the code is simpler.


The AMD software stack has been behind for a long time but I feel like we're finally catching up. I heard that HIP (and hopefully the rest of ROCM) is now supported on the RX6800XT consumer GPU... maybe that could help? BTW my team at AMD has been using Julia for ML workloads for a while. We should get in touch - maybe some of the lessons we learn can be useful to you. My email is claforte. The domain I'm sure you can guess. ;-)


At a minimum you'd need your keyboard to support NKRO, N-Key Roll-over, and you'd need a software like Plover.


Price, availability. For instance, steno software costed thousands of dollars. But this is about to change:

- Plover is a free, cross-platform steno software: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZGuBV1xe64

- This Canadian guy develops cool, quality steno and ergonomic boards. The Georgi is $95USD - significantly less expensive than alternatives. There aren't any official reviews yet, but Plover users on Discord seem to really like it.

I'm planning to buy one this week - trying to get my boss to cover it since it will help with my mild RSI.


Don't forget the QWERTY mode! Steno requires a huge time commitment to learn, chorded QWERTY much less so.

And if you don't like it, it's a QMK based board so it can be reprogrammed!

There's also the more traditional Ergodox-like Gergo that is mostly a normal QWERTY board with some ergonomic improvements.

OLKB Planck keyboards [0] (presumably Preonics as well) also come with a Plover layout included in the default firmware.

I'm sure that sense of ethic will pay for itself for years to come. They will get the best students applying for internships.


I recommend Solution Selling or The New Solution Selling. I was an engineer with limited sales experience and it gave me a good base for enterprise sales.

But I'd advise you try your best to shortcut the long and complex sales cycle unless you have lots of upfront cash to burn.


I'd say it would cost 5% royalty on sales assuming that algorithm was key. Ten years ago I negotiated a licencing agreement with CMU for a computer vision algorithm. I was leading an unknown startup. 5% with no upfront fee is what we ended at.


I'm a french native (from Quebec) and to me, there is no mistake. We'd often say "Ma professeure" for the feminine. Maybe in France or other countries they are more formal. Either way, this isn't a good example of Google Translate limitation.


Awesome, my whole family played with it for 15 minutes, a great way to introduce wave theory to 8-10 years-olds! Works great on Windows 10 + Chrome.


Seeing an oscilloscope displaying a Lissajous pattern when I was eight years old was one of the things that sparked my interest in electronics. In 1962, by cracky!
