  • Good, something that is needed for running LLMs and other non-LLM based deep learning work that doesn't suck or has poor drivers / firmware for.

    I can rest assured that when I use this on any machine running Mac, Windows or Linux, I know it just works well with tinygrad.

  • Accessing a GPU bar via USB2&3 endpoints seems novel.

  • I had my C3X audio device fail a month or so past warranty. It literally couldn't detect the sound card anymore. My car is not supported, and I've been on a fork since the beginning. Few line of code changes to get it working again and it's almost two years in use. And yes, I tried flashing any and all available releases/forks. The sound hardware was not visible in the kernel on all.

    I've given up on the latest models and don't bother with the automatic cruise control. But just the lane centering is extremely helpful.

    When people ask me about the device, I tell then it's the next version of power steering. And if one has never driven a car without power steering, one may not understand how much easier it makes the drive.

    Thought about upgrading to the C4 as the original owner I could trade mine in for a discount. But the first thing I noticed on reddit threads were the C4 H/W failures, and that made me not want to bother figuring out what's needed to get the C4 running on my car. Wish they figured out how to bulletproof the device, would love to add the GPU.

  • I find comma.ai’s work pretty fascinating compared to the bigger fish in the self-driving world. There’s something quite human about it versus the Waymo’s and Tesla’s of the world.

  • the picture of that GPU installed on the side of the firewall tunnel reminded myself and my husband of a gadget they would have shown off in the original Batman series.

    "Golly gee whilikers Batman, what is this high tech contraption?"

    "It's a car tracker my good lad, see how sleek and easy to hide it is?"
