Just buy a Textron golf cart and you have 90% of the Chinese EV experience.

Are you saying all cars that are manufactured in China are rubbish? Because that is just plain wrong.

It's the same propaganda that was used against Japan and Korean cars. Asia = bad, America = good.

is there even a screen?

The US still has enough power to stop it though, thankfully.

We aren’t captured by environmental activists that force the poor to shoulder the compliance burden while the rich get to defer and delay.

Why is it thankful the US has the power to force everyone to keep wasting money on US-controlled energy sources? What's the difference between this situation and a Mafia protection racket?

Many people don’t realize the IPCC walked back (refined as they put it) some of its most dire scenarios… others may choose to ignore the walkback. Akin to the rocket and feather phenomenon that affects pricing.

It’s 32gb for people who can’t go for scalped 5090s but have a 3090 budget.

I have a pair of them with a 9480 and the only thing I have to do is keep the cache happy.

Eh. Trading CUDA for 8 more gigs seems like bad deal, unless you know absolutely for certain what you want to run will run on it.

Until NVidia prices get better, I’ll build out with the Intel stack and keep the cache (and prompt processing speeds) happy.

As for software, anything that has a SYCL or Vulkan backend, and/or can be Intel optimized (especially to the same degree as llama.cpp) can run well.

Wait, it didn’t already or am I confusing it with the VESA support on Linux?

suprjami · 2026-04-25T05:18:53 1777094333

SDL has never supported DOS.

You might be thinking of Allegro?

So by the time Mythos is widely and generally available, it’ll be generations behind.

No thanks, but I’d rather not have mysterymeat patches from effectively impossible to replicate models.

Interesting to see them do this when the original study in Singapore did not (initially) enact the ban.

Did they just follow on from New Zealand?

Looks like Google is taking a page from Microsoft regarding embrace, extend, extinguish.

At this point, they’re at the Extinguish stage.

I see that Meta (if that’s still the case) is going for the gold here.

> Intel

For some workloads, the Arc Pro B70 actually does reasonably well when cached.

With some reasonable bring-up, it also seems to be more usable versus the 32gb R9700.

MrDrMcCoy · 2026-04-13T06:20:59 1776061259

I have both of those cards. Llama.cpp with SYCL has thus far refused to work for me, and Vulkan is pretty slow. Hoping that some fixes come down the pipe for SYCL, because I have plenty of power for local models (on paper).

cmxch · 2026-04-13T15:40:24 1776094824

Hmm.

I had to rebuild llama.cpp from source with the SYCL and CPU specific backends.

Started with a barebones Ubuntu Server 24 LTS install, used the HWE kernel, pulled in the Intel dependencies for hardware support/oneapi/libze, then built llama.cpp with the Intel compiler (icx?) for the SYCL and NATIVE backends (CPU specific support).

In short, built it based mostly on the Intel instructions.

Which helps none, since that gates behind established actors.
