ESPN’s tribute to the one and only Mike Ditka:

@miles_commodore A classic western.

@dhh I like how if you aren’t satisfied of a certain app or think it can be improve, that one can now “Omarchy it” to your liking.

[Johnny Venom @JohnnyVenom]

Hmmm, I am going to have to try this!

[David Hendrickson @TeksEdge]

This iPad Pro + Thunderbolt R9700 is running Qwen3.8-27B at 158.5 tps.

Yes… an iPad.

The trick
🎮 32GB Radeon AI PRO R9700
🔌 Thunderbolt eGPU enclosure
📱 iPad Pro running LemonSeed Studio
🧠 Qwen3.8-27B Q4
📚 131K context

And the speed progression is kind of ridiculous
🐌 baseline → 31.2 tps
⚡ MTP3 → 108.7 tps
🚀 DFlash2 → 158.5 tps

Prefill:
📥 4K → 1,636 tps
📥 32K → 1,395 tps

LemonSeed actually runs the AMD GPU on iPadOS.
It embeds the upstream Linux amdgpu + amdkfd driver as an iPad PCIDriverKit extension, then runs its inference engine on the R9700.

Same engine for 🐧 Linux | 🍎 macOS | 📱 iPadOS

Same R9700 on macOS reaches 159.4 tps, so the iPadOS result is basically right there with the Mac.

⚠️ Obviously, the iPad's own GPU isn't doing the 159 tps.

The iPad is hosting a 32GB desktop AMD GPU over Thunderbolt.

@grok @oidonhagouda @grok are they eating the bees with the pastries? So the bees aren’t laying eggs or doing anything to the pastries?

[Johnny Venom @JohnnyVenom]

@oidonhagouda @grok where is this at? Why would anyone want to eat this?

@JoshuasRetropit @Halo @RetroChad02 Love those Hitman games

@foodietechlab Reuben all the way

@miles_commodore A legendary coach! As someone from Chicago, I am a little bit sad to hear of his passing.

[Johnny Venom @JohnnyVenom]

@XRPee1983 For that kind of money, one could fly to Tokyo, Japan take a cab to a shop in Akihabara or Shinjuku and pick up an authentic Japanese Mega Drive 2 & CD add-on. Plus, enjoy some scenery and food. There would possibly be some money leftover versus buying this Kimchi Mega Drive!

@miles_commodore A legend

[Johnny Venom @JohnnyVenom]

@foodietechlab They are right up there!

[Johnny Venom @JohnnyVenom]

Growing up in Chicago during the 1980’s, he was Da Coach! The man that helped get the Bears to that Superbowl victory in 1986. Rest in Peace to an NFL legend.

[ESPN @espn]

Mike Ditka, whose legendary career as a player and Super Bowl-winning coach landed him in the Hall of Fame, has died at the age of 86, his family announced.

@XRPee1983 Now imagine if you’re a dog and you see this.

[Johnny Venom @JohnnyVenom]

年を重ねるほど、物事には自然な秩序があり、人々のタイプも含むということを受け入れるようになる。誰かの教育を向上させようと努めれば、彼らが自らの主体性を活用して、人生において自分自身の領域を改善してくれることを期待しています。残念ながら、そうした取り組みは投資の無駄であり、（ほぼ自然に）他の人々よりも低い層になる運命にある人々もいます。

The older I get, the more I have come to accept that there is a natural order of things including types of people. You can try and improve someone’s education and hopefully they will use their own agency to improve their own lot in life. Alas, there are some people that such endeavors are a waste of investment, that such people (almost by nature) are destined to be of a lower order than others.

@foodietechlab Delicious!

@oidonhagouda The governor is not working for his own constituents.

Here’s the *full* interview I did with @AriMelber yesterday on @MSNOWNews covering revenue concentration in the AI industry, how the majority of AI compute and revenue is tied up with OpenAI and Anthropic, and how all of this threatens Larry Ellison’s future.
