AMD Contributes BFloat16 Support To LLVM’s SPIR-V Target
AMD software engineers continue making interesting contributions to the LLVM compiler stack around SPIR-V as the IR used by Vulkan and other Khronos APIs… ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net pfff, you are a kid! :-P

@kiwu@twtxt.net wanna trade? I would be willing to become celibate to go back to my 20s, and believe me, if there is something I don’t want to do is becoming celibate, so that ought to tell you something! 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org believe it or not, I imagined the whole thing in my head, and kind of ROFLMAO. I am sure it was much, much less funny in real life. So, sorry! :-P

My elders complained when rotary phones lost their wheel, getting replaced by push buttons. It was mayhem! We don’t live in a Matrix, we live in a loop. LOL.

@zvava@twtxt.net happy belated birthday! Also, I would love to see that website. I went to the one listed on your profile, and saw the old one, not this one. I like the current, and also the pink look of the one of the screenshot!

@thecanine@twtxt.net I like Apple’s Liquid Glass. While I see there are many hatters, I haven’t had an issue with it on iOS, macOS, watchOS, nor tvOS. Have them all working fairly flawlessly.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org don’t German regulations require the country in which it was made to be clearly noted on the product? These days everyone is cheapening their craft. Don’t be surprised if it is, indeed, wholly Germanium.

@prologic@twtxt.net I requested an invitation. There are many like this, so it will be interesting to see how it develops. I also hope you are not hosting this on your infrastructure, at least not once you decide to monetise. I know self hosting is fun and all, but it also introduces variables that directly collide with a business model.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, I certainly had better ones. :-D Despite I can already laugh at the hot chocolate spill, I’m still assimilating the clamp failure, though.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, you have to manually move each card one by one. That’s annoying. Haha, I remember the old Windows Solitair animation. :-)

Winning animations (TkSol’s timing is screwed up): https://movq.de/v/92d7758740

Won a bunch of games of Solitaire and then rearranged the cards for maximum negative points, to distract me from the horrors.

(Still ended up with >0 points on OS/2, because don’t ask me.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org … sounds like a bad day. 😅

Benchmarking The AMD EPYC 9V64H: Azure HBv5’s Custom AMD CPU With HBM3
Nearly one year ago Microsoft announced the HBv5 virtual machines powered by a custom-designed AMD 4th Gen EPYC processor with high bandwidth memory (HBM3). Finally today the Azure HBv5 series is reaching general availability for those with memory-intensive HPC applications and other workloads. Microsoft kindly provided Phoronix with HBv5 access in advance to begin testing these new VMs with the AMD EPYC 9V64H CPUs featuring HBM memory, so … ⌘ Read more

Grrrrr…eat, one of my Bessey spring clamps broke. Ripped the arm right in half. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just designed in Germany but actually made out of Chinesium. :-( I will attempt to glue it back together with two component adhesive tomorrow, but I don’t have high hopes.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Klassiker!

Rust Foundation Maintainers Fund Announced For Long-Term Support To Rust Developers
The Rust Foundation announced today the creation of the Rust Foundation Maintainers Fund as a new means of providing consistent, transparent, and long-term support for developers that make the Rust programming language possible… ⌘ Read more

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh shit! :-( Time to switch companies. If you found something, please let me know. This hype train is derailing here as well.

@prologic@twtxt.net Nothing, yet. It was sent in written form. There’s probably little point in fighting this, they have made up their minds already (and AI is being rolled up en masse in other departments), but on the other hand, there are – truthfully – very few areas where AI could actually be useful to me.

There are going to be many discussions about this …

This is completely against the “spirit” of this company, btw. We used to say: “It’s the goal that matters. Use whatever tools you think are appropriate.” That’s why I’m allowed to use Linux on my laptop. Maybe they will back down eventually when they realize that trying to push this on people is pointless. Maybe not.

Ping me if you’re intersted!

I’m building a service that lets you:

create and manage disposable, brandable email aliases so you can track leaks, forward important messages, and keep your real inbox clean.

I’ve just finishing building it for the most part, and have cut a v0.1.0 release. It’s currently closed source (to be decided later) and now open to beta testers. cc @bender@twtxt.net 🙏 I fully intend to monetize and offer this as a paid service in teh coming weeks/months, but beta/invite-only testers and early adopters/users first 🤟

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What did you say? 🤔

@zvava@twtxt.net Late happy birthday! :-)

Cool, your website indeed mostly works even in w3m and ELinks. Sending notifications in the about page is out of question, since it requires JS. Apart from that, this is very good, keep it up!

Not sure how I can get the deskop look and feel working in Firefox, but since I’m a tiling window manager user, I prefer linear webpages anyway. :-)

It happened.

Management asked me if I’m using enough AI and what I’m doing to learn more about it.

@arne@uplegger.eu Hmm, wird da wieder Krieg gespielt? :-(

We got some colors in the sky: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-11-04/

Fuck me! I made a giant mess by knocking over the fresh cup of hot chocolate. I completely soaked my desk, t-shirt, pants, socks, house shoes, seat pad, chair, footstool, chair mat and floor. Showering beforehand was well worth it. :-D Let’s see where I will locate the smell of spoiled milk in the next days. Maybe underneath the baseboard? I’ll take bets.

At least my aiming skills are pretty good. I missed keyboard, mouse and other electronics.

Linux 6.19 Will Finally Support Intel’s Adaptive Sharpness Filter “CASF” With Lunar Lake
Going all the way back to early 2024, Intel Linux engineers have been working on supporting an Adaptive Sharpening Filter new to Lunar Lake. While Lunar Lake later launched in September 2024, the Linux patches for this feature remained under review and discussion. Besides the Intel driver implementation itself for Lunar Lake and newer, it also ushers in a new DRM sharpness property to help standardize such functionality … ⌘ Read more

@thecanine@twtxt.net Woof woof! That’s a nice one. For a split second, the posture and the back legs reminded me of https://img.brickowl.com/files/image_cache/large/lego-monkey-with-yellow-hands-74499-99402-178585.jpg that I never had, but always wanted as a child.

@kiwu@twtxt.net Absolutely!

@prologic@twtxt.net @aelaraji@aelaraji.com I’m glad you like ‘em. :-)

@kiwu@twtxt.net I wouldn’t go that far haha 🤣 I’m not sure I’m all that wise 😂

@kiwu@twtxt.net really? 🧐 msn I already feel old and broken and um not even that old 🤯

It is always awesome to have a few minutes to converse, at least once I month. I will not miss one, adding it to my calendar. I mean, if we were neighbours you (or wife) would probably have to kick me out of your house, so it’s good I am really far, and a once a month call suffices. 🤣

@kiwu@twtxt.net hey, not random! How dare you! (with Greta accent, and emphasis). LOL. Old man here doing, well, like old man do. Wait until you are old, and that will give you a better idea. :-P

Scheduling the next Yarn.social Call for next month, a month in advance. Hope y’all can make the next one 🤞

Okay folks I’m calling it. See y’all again next time. Hopefully more of you make it next time 🤞

CodeX is very good at following instructions 👌

Let’s do it! 🤟 https://meet.mills.io/call/Yarn.social

👋 Reminder that we’re starting up our social calls again (monthly), RSVP here 🤟 It starts in 13h27m 😅 Hope to see some/all of you there 👌

@thecanine@twtxt.net Actually pretty legible 🤟

🥳 Just released Gatherly v0.3.0 🤟 – My instance is available at: https://gatherly.mills.io (free for anyone to use)

Apologies folks 😅 A bit of a bad electrical storm rolled through earlier. 🌩️ I looked kind of bad⚡️ so I powered down the Mills DC 🤟 (out of precation).

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Haha nice! 😊

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks for sharing these, they look so beautiful!
