  • It’s been pretty lackluster so far. Embedded(includes FPGA) is one of AMD’s lowest performing divisions, along with gaming. They’ve used Xilinx circuitry in Ryzen AI CPUs (XDNA), but those have been slow to catch on.

    There’s a lot of copium in the AMD_Stock sub about how Lisa is playing the long game and Xilinx will pay off over time, but for now, it’s a drag on revenue, operating margins and return on equity.

    We paid $40B+ for a company that brought in less than 1.5B last year. - AMD bagholder, avg price $140😐


  • My pet peeve is people downvoting in communities they aren’t subscribed to about posts they aren’t interested in. They just sort by new, and when they see something they don’t like, they smash that downvote button without even looking at the post or contents.

    Part of it is because we all have unlimited votes; people vote without thinking. It would be different if everyone had a finite number of votes to use. And you get awarded a few votes for making a comment or post. Maybe award extra votes for commenting in small communities.

    This would serve 2 purposes. 1.) People would use their votes a lot more thoughtfully. 2.) It would encourage people to comment and post more.

    The downside is that someone could set up a bot to spam posts and comments into a dead community just to rack up votes.











  • And we make it worse by saying “Just pick one. It doesn’t matter what instance you’re on because they’re federated.”

    Some people are going to be very upset to find their local feed is a lot of content they don’t agree with. Or when they go out into the fediverse and people automatically assume they’re an A-hole because of the instance they’re from. I mean, it’s generally not that bad, but there are a few instances that are that bad.

    And for people like me who gravitate toward smaller instances, that instance is probably gonna die. Happened to me twice already, 4 times if you count Mastodon and Peertube.
