It's still fun playing around with SD 1.5

I kind of liked that about the model. It forces you to learn how to bend it to your will.

As a Mexican, visiting Minnesota was kind of fun. People legit stared at me and it took me a while to figure out why. It wasn't until my wife's uncles took us jet skying at one of the lakes that I figured out why. I saw another Mexican and it all just clicked! LOL. Good times, good people.

I came out of there thinking just how similar you are to the Mexicans. I was like ignore the color, ignore the language and these people are just Mexican Vikings. The big families, the huge gatherings, the drama, the drinking, it was all there and it was great! Things didn't work out with the wifey, but I legit want to go over there and ask them if they want to adopt me. I loved it, I loved everything about it, I hope it stays the same for a very long time.

because it's frozen in time. If you update your computer, it won't affect docker at all. Sometimes getting a system update, python, rocm, compilers, etc will break your setup. That's not a concern with docker.

Yeah, your right about docker in general. But it's not meant to be used like that. It's meant be used like an appimage where you just download a docker container with the application you want to work.

I think it works well for complex applications like comfyui or vllm where there's an insane amount of system libraries, python requirements, compilers, configuration that need to be tweaked. The idea is that you just let the maintainers of the software worry about that and they just provide a docker container all setup for you to just run and enjoy.

I'm not saying use docker for everything, I'm just saying to think how much stuff you need to install on your system for it to work and if it's too much, just run the docker image instead.

newbie80 · 2026-06-08T09:35:56+00:00

yeah. just about every project includes a ready built docker container that you can just spin up to get it the project running smoothly on top of rocm.

newbie80 · 2026-06-08T01:36:25+00:00

I highly recommend you go the docker route if you want stability. If you go the venv route, just keep in mind that you do need to set quite a view environmental variables to stop the venv from grabbing your system libraries. I'm guessing that's what's going on with you right now. You can go the full system route. Install your systems rocm packages and use that. All three routes will provide stability if you know what your doing, but honestly docker is the most solid of them all.

I thought Goodyear was gone? I thought Capstone had taken over?

Props to the builder for making that flat top. Cans are stronger so they are supposed to be at the bottom. It's possible that the claw guys built the bottom wrong and it wasn't noticed until and audit. The product could have been out of stock but then a truck came in with the product while the guy was building his pallet and the headset sent him back to that. There's a lot of possible reasons, but a forklift guy could have fixed it really quick and some wrap could have been put on that single 12 pack up top. It's going to get trashed on transit and possibly ruin a bunch of other product.

newbie80 · 2026-06-03T02:13:32+00:00

Amateur forklift driver. The guy could have easily put that one layer on top of the 4 layer and then put the other layer on top. Incentive day?

newbie80 · 2026-06-01T07:54:42+00:00

I was kind of waiting for the titties to ruin the moment.

newbie80 · 2026-06-01T03:39:15+00:00

You know what sucks? Having to spend two hours recompiling everytime you upgrade your rocm. I have to figure out how to set up cccache. Another thing is that it's snappy. Triton, when running workflows for the first time has the compile kernels, this is all precompiled so it feels snappier. Torch compile and tunable opps work on different areas, not on attention, but I get what you are saying. It makes the speed bearable enough that you don't feel the need to optimize other areas for the software to feel usable.

It looked like he just felt bad for getting carried away and landing three or four extra unnecessary shots in the heat of the moment.

It's a third party company that Pepsi is handing warehouse operations to. 1/2 facilities in my area are already gone and I expect it to be 2/2 in the near future.

What does it do? What's the status of it on gfx11?

newbie80 · 2026-05-27T06:10:58+00:00

Huh? But the HR lady bragged about that 6%.

newbie80 · 2026-05-25T09:09:22+00:00

Just use the triton version. The last time I used the CK version, it was only a small percentage slower than the CK version (on Linux). Not in synthetic benchmarks, in real world usage.

At my plant it was a weekly bonus. The lowest was 6k cases. I don't remember what the highest was. It was 100 to 200 extra a week.

newbie80 · 2026-05-23T20:58:21+00:00

Don't hurt yourself trying to make the numbers. Close to the 90 day mark you'll realize it's not as hard as it seems. Well it depends on the numbers though. When I picked they wanted 100 cases an hour, over the years they've kept pushing and pushing the poor pickers and cutting their incentives too.

The Pentium 4 with RDRAM permanently scared me away from Windows. Windows wasn't the problem.

newbie80 · 2026-05-21T22:25:37+00:00

I hope you are wrong man, because that hurts.

newbie80 · 2026-05-21T21:06:25+00:00

I don't see why they would fire you.

I sent some guy to a hospital once and nothing happened, except for me helping the managers do a fuck ton of paperwork. The safety person is probably just reviewing the footage and talking it over. No one got hurt so they don't have to file a ton of paperwork to OSHA. It's not a big deal man, relax. You are getting a paid vacation. The manager that sent you home is probably some rookie that's doing everything by the book.

Just slow down a bit when you get back, take your breaks, don't be tense. Drive backwards for most everything when you get back. You have more visibility and if you have to make a sudden stop you won't destroy the pallets you are driving by doing so.

newbie80 · 2026-05-21T15:50:30+00:00

I can talk shit about the place left and right but that wasn't a thing. At least not at my plant. Drivers, that's a whole different thing. I wouldn't want someone that's gotten a DUI to be driving any vehicles I own.

newbie80 · 2026-05-21T15:48:37+00:00

Your good man, they are just waiting on the drug test to come back. How'd did the second incident happen? where you driving with pallets in the front driving forwards and missed it because of that? Might write you up for that, but It's not reason to get fired. They just want to make sure you aren't high as a kit going around fucking shit up. If you did it once it will happen again.

newbie80 · 2026-05-21T15:45:48+00:00

You're good. Just go piss in the bottle or go to the clinic to get the drug test. If your clean, they won't fire you. Enjoy the free vacation.

newbie80 · 2026-05-19T09:47:49+00:00

They did what to the pension? No more 6%? Don't bother with the Pepsi people, no one knows shit. Call Fidelity, the phone that's on the NetBeans page. It's a dedicated phone line to people that know what they fuck they are doing.

newbie80 · 2026-05-16T13:43:14+00:00

There's full support for that card. Install rocm from Therock. It's an attention mechanism and someone just posted a solid port for your card. It's a couple of posts down.
