Is this the same geohot that 9+ months ago declared he was "done with AMD"?

Isn't geohot infamous for stealing other people's work?

PBCAK?

That said, ROCm only officially supports a fraction of its product line, and an odd smattering throughout at that. It's a joke compared to CUDA which will run on damn near anything. And AMD has a long, long history of dogshit drivers (at least on Windows.)

AMD just doesn't seem to give enough of a shit to invest money into securing top talent for this, and NVIDIA will continue to stomp them.

Yeah, the same guy that was going to single handedly fix Twitter's search for Elon and resigned after 4 weeks saying there was nothing he could do.

Are you meaning the Sony Playstation hacking where they took legal action against him, or are you meaning other stuff?

In lieu of a real answer, here's more HN conjecture:

That same bug is still open, not fixed. Azure announced access to AMD GPU cloud with NDA, but the cards are unusable for compute work as they lock up randomly.
