I’m late to the DGX Spark party but I finally got an NVIDIA Blackwell GB10 box!

Given $INTC is in the news, it's nice to see that the latest LM Studio and the OpenAI gpt-oss-20b model run at ~47 tok/s on an A770 using Vulkan.

Fun with Google Sheets AI: =AI("Should I buy this stock? Only answer yes or no."). Every symbol returns, "I can't provide financial advice" except for NVIDIA and ADOBE where the answer is "No." I love it!🤷‍♂️

Last night I watched an elderly fam member navigate her iPhone for ‘important things and emails’. She is 96 and holding on to be tech relevant. Here is what I observed… 🧵

My dad found this button from his time working on the Lunar Rover. Apollo 15 was the first to use the moon buggy. Good ink, it hasn’t faded very much!

You all said “Numerical Linear Algebra, L. Trefethen, and D. Bau. SIAM, (1997)” is invaluable so I got the paperback (PDF out there too).

I've been asked about this a lot, so let me provide a quick FAQ. Q: What's the nature of the issue? A: Anyone who has bought my book from Amazon in the past few month hasn't bought a genuine copy, but a lower-quality counterfeit copy printed by various fraudulent sellers.
Replying to @fchollet
For instance, if you go to the page of DLwP2 on Amazon, you see that it's being sold by a 3rd party seller named "Sacred Gamez". If you click "buy", you won't get the actual book from Manning. You get a low-quality counterfeit printed by the fraudulent seller (from the book PDF)

My very fast GPU-accelerated radix sort Vulkan library got pulled into the MESA RADV Vulkan driver: phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n… #vulkan #gpu #gpucompute #mesa #amd #radeon
