Geohot (temporarily) giving up. https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/2198#issuecomment-157438... Sadly most of the real spicy Twitter messages are gone since he deleted all his content, but there was a really fun one where he went off on a beautifully cryptic commit message in the driver. He also begged AMD to opensource the firmware so he could debug it. Sadly, AMD promised to do it and then nothing happened, as is typical for AMD promises. That's why tinygrad nowadays is aiming to just bypass the driver and firmware entirely.

tinygrad = George Hotz. (It's his company, __tinygrad__ is basically his "work account".)
