Whoa!! Seeing some insane improvements with #ROCm 7.1! #AMD VAE decoding is lightning fast.

Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark #Linux #LinuxGaming #Steam #SteamOS #SteamDeck

Just in case it helps save someone else some frustration. #Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-Q8_0 #RooCode github.com/RooCodeInc/R...

#AMD 's #ROCm continues to improve! 43 tokens/sec with a 30B MOE Q8 and 512k of context < $2k mini PC For those worried about power consumption it just means I need to run the heater less now.

Agentic Search surpasses Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG): Teaching an agent to use grep is far more efficient than chunking, embedding and similarity search. #AI www.nicolasbustamante.com/p/the-rag-ob...

No thanks Grok-Code-Fast-1 I'll take it from here.

A reminder for all. Please repost this to get the word out. I, and your local wildlife, thank you. 🥰 #Halloween #birds #wildlife

I've moved my shop from Etsy to Shopify. It's definitely a work in progress, but I have a few sets of press-on nails up! 🥰 murdermittensnails.com #PressOnNails #NailPolish #CustomNails

After a day of tuning and testing models, another variable has entered the fray. #AMD #RYZENAIMAX #GMKtec

Some fun building llama.cpp with ROCm 6.4, ROCm 7.0 RC2 and Vulkan in addition to testing some kv cache quants. Note, don't bother with iq4_nl for k & v , it pushes prompt processing to CPU. Without quantizing kv, ROCm is beating vulkan in my testing. Dolphin-Mistral-24B-Venice-Edition-Q5_K_M.gguf

Spring 2026 marks 50 years since I wrote my first lines of code. #AI - What was once sci-fi is now a daily reality. It fuels my work, my creativity, and my return to #solopreneurship. The journey’s come full circle ~ and it still feels like the beginning. vault.jamesburchill.com/mindset/50-y...

I modified the world clock example of the Pimoroni Presto to give it some much needed Matrix. @pimoroni.com #micropython #RaspberryPiPico #Pimoroni

Never underestimate the healing powers of an occasional rm -rf ~/.cache/uv #python #softwaredevelopment

I spent some time with Gemini CLI today. Made great progress on a local project until I ran out of free Gemini Pro 2.5 requests and it switch me to Gemini Flash. Then it was more hassle fixing the errors it cause... Even the Premium plan is only 1500 a day. #Gemini #Google #SoftwareDevelopment

Cline is WAY better than GitHub Copilot. For my current workflow at least #python #Neo4j #Gemma3-27b-q5

Just a call out that gpt-oss:20b got an update and it now can be shown the error of it's ways. And for some specific tasks it really is a great tool. 30k context and fully loaded into VRAM in 18GB, 87.93 tok/sec, 1.20s to first token in LM Studio - ROCm llama.cpp (Linux) v1.46.0 #ROCm #AMD

Up most of the night because your brain won’t stop coming up with new software solutions? Yea me too, you’re not alone.

And how do I know the new GPT-OSS:20B OpenAI model is shit? How about a 20 min conversation where I am unable to convince the model that it is wrong. That my 718 Cayman GT4 is in fact a flat 6 not a flat 4. Hallucinating and arrogant. #GPT-OSS #UnuseableModel

AMD ROCm 6.4.2 with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Python 3.12 working great for my purposes. Still awaiting ROCm 7 but thank you for releasing 6.4.2! #AMD #TeamRed #ROCm www.amd.com/en/products/...

We decided to make an apple duchbaby for dinner.

I finally got a document up with all of my nail polish swatches. Feel free to check out my store and share with your friends! murdermittensclaws.etsy.com #PressOnNails #IndieNailPolish #CustomMade

PNW Porche club rally day!

@sparklyseaster.bsky.social Happy anniversary love!

What I’ve been up to lately. I’ll be opening an Etsy shop soon! #nails #PressOnNails #MurderMittens

Who says the GT4 is not practical? We got a Cisco and grocery story trip in her no problem.

#AMD, thank you for all the hard work on ROCM www.amd.com/en/products/... 6.4 is working great with pyTorch 3.2! I have been able to run a 23.8GB flux1-dev-F16.gguf on my RX 7900 XTX.

I was literally asked to stop the AI rendering on my PC because I was causing the dining room lights to flicker. I have succeeded.

Thank you for this feature bsky!

Fingers crossed for snow over the next couple days!!!!

Buried in the list of nearly 1,500 people whose criminal sentences were commuted by President Joe Biden Thursday is the name of a Pennsylvania judge who took kickbacks for wrongfully sentencing minors to juvenile detention. https://newrepublic.com/post/189369/biden-commute-sentence-kids-cash-judge

Arch Linux has announced a direct collaboration with Valve! This is great news, and with the Steam Deck powered by Arch, it makes a lot of sense. lists.archlinux.org/archives/lis...

Motivation to clean out the gutters on the house, a nice drive along the coast after.

38 F and foggy after 2.6" of rain the past couple days. It is perfect here.
