  • The LA times ran this profile of him not long ago: https://www.latimes.com/la-influential/story/2024-06-30/palmer-luckey-anduril

    Anduril means "flame of the west" btw it's not exactly subtle

    Their business model differs from most defense giants because they develop the "product" (mass murder machine) first before selling it to the government, all the others do it on contract according to requirements. So it makes sense they would do ads like this I guess.

    I had one of their recruiters reach out to me on linkedin recently and was like heeeeellllllll no.




  • Yeah always go for AMD over nvidia on Linux. You will have way fewer issues in general. I bought a used AMD card off local facebook marketplace for not that much money. Take a look and see what’s around you then get the best card you can buy for your budget.

    Should be noted because I’m a pedantic dickhead that while AMD drivers (the thing running on your CPU to let Linux talk to the GPU) are open source, their GPU firmware (the OS running the GPU computer inside your computer) is not. So if you want to be a hardcore “libre” Linux person there aren’t any real decent GPU options but it isn’t that big a deal imo.
