Yeah I think there’s a bit of regulatory and or legal hurdles, but I think the other part is co-ops aren’t as incentivised to grow so big. There are some smaller co-ops in tech they just usually do stuff more local scale. Less likely to hear about them and be spread widely

> Saying you shouldn't educate the lower classes or not educate girls would be met with huge resistance from most Republicans,

They are pushing for policies that would do that in effect if not in name. They are gutting public education (which the lower class uses) and trying to force women into motherhood by preventing abortions. Many women who have abortions do so because they are trying to get an education and a child would disrupt that.

I don’t think you understand leftism or American politics


Capitalism hasn’t succeeded yet in this case. It’s set the stage for success, but success in my eyes is measured when we hit net zero. That’s still not inevitable at this point

Work from home is great, but there’s more to life than work. Being walking distance or public transport distance to the rest of life’s activities is also great. And EVs aren’t saving the planet they are saving the car industry. They still cause tire particulate pollution, noise pollution, light pollution, and need tons of rare earth minerals

Don't forget the most important scarce resource they require: space. We waste so much space for parking and other car friendly infrastructure there often is not enough left for a a bike line or even a sidewalk let alone some actually pleasant peaceful passage people could use.

But it also assumes China would never really catch up to American chip companies. China is already investing heavily in chip R&D and things like RISC-V, I think it’s very plausible that lag window shrinks over this horizon. Perhaps even flipping given their much larger willingness to use industrial policy for goals they want achieved.


Not the GP, but I have a RX 7700S running Ubuntu and I cannot for the life of me get ROCm to play nice with my GPU. I tried all sorts of env vars but I keep getting seg faults when I try to run PyTorch. Or it just ends up running on my CPU


The RX 7700S is gfx1102. Please see my reply in the thread on the RX 7600, as it is applicable to you too. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43465281


But that’s during training, not during inference. Also it’s more structured in where the dropout is happening. I do think that points to them being somewhat resilient but we haven’t had LLMs exist long enough for a good test


Yeah I’m thinking it’s at least a few years off. But it’ll get better eventually. Framework is already on the RISCV train, so I have no doubt when a good RISCV SoC is available it’ll be in a framework ASAP. I’m hoping by the time my current 16 is feeling slow the RISCV option will be the obviously best choice


I have the framework 16, and ROCm has been driving me nuts. The GPU in the 16 isn’t as meant for AI, but just shockingly bad


I’ve heard of this project [0] creating a housing commons that owns the building and sells fractionalized “rent credits” to fund the initial purchase, with the plan of once one building is paid off they can purchase more. Not sure how it’s doing tho
