@pawb.socialWow, I just scrolled through the front page and it was 100% depressing/anxiety-inducing news.
I don't think I want this in my life.
I had no idea Omeleto existed. Looks like I've got a few weekends of watching their vids ahead of me!
Good to see them learning LaTeX young. It's one of those life skills that no one should need, but everybody does need at some point
Google also is responsible for the SEO industry. They made ads hugely profitable, then started directing traffic to sites that serve more of their ads, regardless of quality.
"zero commercial prospects"? That sounds exactly like the sort of movie I'd pay money for!
I'd say it's more like they're failing upwards. It's certainly good for AMD, but it seems like it happened in spite of their involvement, not because of it:
For reasons unknown to me, AMD decided this year to discontinue funding the effort and not release it as any software product. But the good news was that there was a clause in case of this eventuality: Janik could open-source the work if/when the contract ended.
AMD didn't want this advertised or released, and even canned this project despite it reaching better performance than the OpenCL alternative. I really don't get their thought process. It's surreal. Do they not want to support AI? Do they not like selling GPUs?
With jobs, maybe. With careers, especially in STEM, you get lots of exceptions like extremely rewarding but low paying positions in academia, and tech companies that think they can just spend money instead of effort to fix their culture and broken hiring process.
Saying goodbye to their life in France, where they were paying around £2,574 (€3,000) in taxes every year,
So these people who were rich enough to own a second home wanted to spend more than 50% of their time in France, but were paying the vast majority of their taxes back to the UK?
No wonder the laws got tightened.
To accept it, you just move on with your life. Find the next thing you should do and do it. The more you dwell, the harder it will be to stop dwelling, so just break the cycle and go do anything else.
You will encounter plenty more people who are insistently wrong. Each one will affect you less than the last.
