AMD's ROCm just isn't there yet compared to Nvidia's CUDA. I tried it on Linux with my AMD GPU and couldn't get things working. AFAIK on Windows it's even worse.


That entirely depends on what AMD device you look at: gaming GPUs are not well supported, but their instinct line of accelerators works just as well as cuda. keep in mind that, in contrast to Nvidia, AMD uses different architectures for compute and gaming (though they are changing that in the next generation)

Made the move myself at the start of this year and I love it.

For those considering it, I wrote this blog post which might be helpful: https://neluplatonov.com/posts/2024/the-mere-mortals-guide-t...

Caveat: I don't use any special hardware like audio interfaces or racing wheels, so no idea about the experience with those (I'd assume getting drivers to work might be a PITA/impossible?).


Looks great, thanks so much for writing this!


One of the replies mentions this uBlock Origin AI blocklist (haven't tried it myself): https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist


I think we should have an allow list approach at this point. Maybe a web directory of trustful websites.


We're about to go back to the directory style websites of the 90s!


Yeeha!


Same, kanji is also the hardest for me, I have a much easier time learning new words by sound/hearing. But, I know some people that are the complete opposite & can't learn enough kanji, ymmv

でもやはり高低アクセントはもっと苦しいと思います。あれは無理ですww


Love the idea! I've wanted to meet fellow HNers to nerd out with for a while :D

Congrats on shipping and good luck


Oh wow this is the first time I've read about this. Did you wake up frequently during the night or were there any other signs?

I have somewhat of a deviated septum, and even had surgery done half a year ago, but it didn't really change much unfortunately. I always need >=9 hours of sleep to feel good. I've slept on average 7 hours the past 2 weeks & I feel horrible (completely different reason for the reduced sleep). I did a sleep study a few years ago because I suspected sleep apnea, but because of anxiety or sleeping in a new place, I only ended up sleeping 1-2 hours that night. They didn't find anything, but I wonder if I should try again.


I don’t have memories of waking up frequently, but you tend to forget shorter wakeful periods. No other signs. No snoring, nothing that would indicate sleep issues.

I have headaches but they are related to other sinus issues, though the doctor seems to think the CPAP should help. I’m not so sure but open to the possibility!


Yep, I've only started using Swift a couple of months ago, but Xcode just isn't pleasant to use imo (though I'm probably spoiled by Jetbrains' IDEs), and the Swift extension for VS Code is clunky.

I'm still really sad Jetbrains decided to sunset AppCode :(

So the quality of tooling/IDEs is definitely a factor, I just don't see myself using Swift outside of the Apple ecosystem when there are so many other alternatives.


Exactly. There can be many, many reasons why something worked for someone else but won't work for you. There are so many variables at play. Plus, a lot of advice isn't individualized.

I really liked this talk from Patreon's CEO about bad advice: https://youtu.be/JTpBFiW5PBo
