schestowitzDr. Roy,Nov 08 06:23
schestowitzHappy 4th birthday! it's amazing how fast time has ellapsed. I enjoyed so much Techbytes # 2, even my 3 year old twin enjoyed the introduction music. He didn't leave my side while listening. Cool!  I'm making him an FLOSS boy I'd given his second name Boris Eben, like Professor Eben. Him && his three sisters are growing with Linux.Nov 08 06:23
schestowitzPlease do you have the transcripts of the techbytes episodes as text? If so can you email them to me as text so I can translate them to Spanish. Once translate them I'll send them back to you. Maybe someone else can place the spanish text as the dialogs continues, kind of the old day movies. I would really appreciatte it.Nov 08 06:23
schestowitzIf I have another boy (somehow) I'll name him Roy. Don't tell Shane about this, 'cause I'm doom to work for the rest of my days.Nov 08 06:23

schestowitzHow about we publish longer show notes in English and in Spanish too? We can also do a translation of parts of the show, perhaps?Nov 08 06:26
schestowitzI am extremely grateful for your translation work, which brings us new Spanish-speaking subscribers.Nov 08 06:26

schestowitzblobvidia...Nov 08 13:49
oiaohmIts going to be a kicking and screaming battle with nvidia.Nov 08 13:56
oiaohmMost likely cluster builders pulling nvidia in.Nov 08 13:57
schestowitzclusters don't use waylandNov 08 14:32
schestowitzanyway, that's what nvidia makes drivers for, I always thoughtNov 08 14:32
schestowitzLike some govt. clusters that use gpus for phypsicsNov 08 14:33
oiaohmProblem is lot of clusters out there don't have X86 processors any more.Nov 08 14:34
oiaohmAnd nvidia drivers are only for x86.Nov 08 14:34
oiaohmYes one of the biggest cluster complier developers is currently working on the open source nvidia driver project.Nov 08 14:36
oiaohmAs there early results are impressive 2d performance 2 twice as fast as Nvidias own binary blob.Nov 08 14:36

schestowitzHi Roy, you replied to one of my comments on Techrights that I should check my email.  Which I did.  But there was nothing new.Nov 08 16:03
schestowitzHowever, it's possible that you didn't get the reply I sent to your Sept 26th message?  (It's below)Nov 08 16:03
schestowitzI'm listening to episode 2 of the techbytes show right now.  It's getting better!  You and Goblin make a good team.Nov 08 16:03
