For those thinking unsafe Rust is harder than C. C standard defined just 216 unsafe rules, that you need to keep in mind at all times.

That's not a valid argument. For most of human existence there was cannibalism and/or human sacrifices. This doesn't mean we should go back to it.

That's honestly horrible. It's like finding your job is guaranteed by a pinkie promise, or the equivalent.

Yes, I'm aware. It seems now there is a further bifurcation. OLTP is no longer general purpose, but now it's also for only one narrow use-case.

People seem to describe it at OLTP, and one of first DBs to come up in OLTP search is MySQL.

TigerBeetle is impressive, but it's a single purpose DB. Unless you fit within the account ledger model it's extremely restrictive.

Yeah, I get it now. HIP converts CUDA code to HIP code, then converts that code to ROCm (AMD) or PTX(nVidia). Zluda converts CUDA code to PTX, but that CUDA license was changed during 2021 to prevent these kinds of efforts. This is why AMD

Thanks a thousand times over.

by Ygg2 1y ago
Ok, but it's that their only difference? Zluda was supported by AMD for some time. Is it just that Hip is currently more complete?

Well, god forbid people ask questions.

Having unions/labor be powerful can be deleterious as well. For example pursuing labor friendly policies of full employment can backfire and cause wage and inflation spiral. See Kalecki's critique of full employment. If market rea

Except for a scam you can be as constructive and helpful before deploying the scam.

Because rising affluence killed them. New Deal with the new mandatory minimum wage made them obsolete.

SIMD enhanced YAML parser. My original parser didn't have enough MB/s (around 2-70 MB/s), so I'm trying out SIMD. I hope it goes well.

Then elighten me, how is API made to work for Nvidia cards going to work smoothly for AMD. Nothing you said prevents API makers of biasing their API to favor one hardware platform over the other. EDIT: Which CUDA to AMD GPU translation proj
