11:50:13 <m-relay> <4​rkal:matrix.org> Are there any good guides on how to do that for a beginner?
15:22:25 <sech1> Interesting https://twitter.com/WuBlockchain/status/1710880716383494207
17:10:25 <elucidator> sech1: x5 killed bitmain?
17:12:51 <sech1> the last straw
17:13:37 <elucidator> iHope
17:18:43 <hyc> brilliant
17:19:09 <hyc> I wonder why they didn't just jack up the price of the X5 etc since they sold all they had
17:59:26 <m-relay> <p​olar9669:matrix.org> Who would have bought it at high cost with a threat of pow change 😂
17:59:55 <m-relay> <p​olar9669:matrix.org> Siphoned off all those secretly mined coins
18:28:35 <pauliouk> well if they're not paying their staff, definitely not going to be any spare parts getting shipped 
21:15:30 <tevador> https://github.com/tevador/RandomX/pull/275
21:15:40 <tevador> took a lot more work than expected
21:17:06 <pauliouk> hmm time to look into buying some RISC-V hardware :D
21:41:02 <sech1> nice
21:41:19 <sech1> I'll take a thorough look tomorrow
21:41:45 <sech1> But tests (including risc-v) already pass, that's a good sign
21:44:54 <tevador> I spent a day and half hunting for a bug that caused 1 in 50k hashes to fail. Those are fun.
21:45:52 <sech1> what was it?
21:46:45 <tevador> a bug in immediate materialization that manifested only for values 0x7ffff***
21:47:35 <sech1> ah, probably something specific to instruction encodings
21:47:37 <sech1> nasty
21:49:04 <tevador> it's a different beast than x86 and ARM
21:52:14 <DataHoarder> sech1: that makes more sense, I saw no reason why they would just sell these *now* except if they had a money crunch
21:54:25 <sech1> tevador yeah, I remember writing jit for AMD GPUs, it was a different beast too. Spent like 3 weeks full time on it. The worst can of worms was this function: https://github.com/SChernykh/RandomX_OpenCL/blob/master/RandomX_OpenCL/CL/randomx_vm.cl#L1406
21:56:37 <tevador> This was another fun afternoon trying to figure out why GDB won't work: https://github.com/tevador/RandomX/blob/pr-riscv/src/jit_compiler_rv64_static.S#L194
21:58:25 <tevador> OpenCL not having directed rounding is a massive fail
21:58:50 <sech1> I'd still use x4 for another imul_rcp value
21:59:27 <tevador> not worth the trouble
21:59:28 <sech1> make it compile time option to use x4, if you ever need the debugger
21:59:54 <sech1> I'll have to do it for xmrig anyway :D
22:00:30 <sech1> Right now you store only 10 rcp values in registers, 11 is better :D
22:00:34 <tevador> yeah, I had a compile time flag for that but then I just remapped everything to avoid x4
