Pytorch supports directML on windows - is that not sufficient (or performant) for your usecase? It feels like AMD are less willing to step on Microsoft's toes, possibly as they just don't have the market share clout. And Rocm supp

I noted that - IMHO one of the big advantages to "modern" c++ is the focus on the lifetime of objects with smart pointers rather than the mechanics of heap allocation and pointers. Pushing that down to chapter 19 as "Advanced

And surely it's self evident that if everyone blocked ads, the service would stop functioning? So all this is about being the "Special Few" who can get away with it, despite often positioning themselves as the Moral Choice be

I find this entire discussion difficult, as with any other service not agreeing to the terms of sale just means you don't use it. But online this seems to have become "Socially Acceptable Theft". It's not like youtube ac

I'm not sure the cat was ever in the bag for LLMs. Every big player has their own flavor now, and it seems the reason why I don't have one myself is an issue of finances rather than secret knowledge. OpenAI's possible advanta

Another analogy would be cryptographic software - it was classed as a munition and people said similar things about the danger of it getting out to "The Bad Guys"

It's probably not surprising that cheaper options sacrifice some level of software or hardware support - that's why they're cheaper. Software support is why the "pro" versions exist as separate (more expensive) SKUs

Looks like you can get an MI60 with 32gb vram for ~$500 on ebay - if you're vram limited might be a good option for less than a 3090 seems to be going for, and seems supported by rocm (being an mi50 just with more hbm). Not sure how we

Tilers (mostly mobile and Apple) generally expose the ability to read & write the framebuffer value pretty easily - see things like GL_EXT_shader_framebuffer_fetch or vulkan's subpasses. For immediate mode renderers (IE desktop car

What's wrong with using middleware engines? That was pretty much the expected case for people who didn't /need/ the level of control exposed by APIs like vulkan or dx12. It's pretty much what OpenGL "drivers&qu

Photons are the means for transfer for all energy sources at some level, so using that as a comparison for the actual generation method seems a little pointless.

An artificial lake created over a hundred years ago now, with it's own ecosystem that has developed around it. And rivers still flow from that downstream, likely entering the water table of a much larger area than the lake itself. Desp

That's not mapping a PID to the window though - it's just destroying a window ID and seeing what happens to error out - which might not happen if the app was written to handle the window being destroyed outside it's control,

How do you access this in a batch script? The only related env at the bottom I can see is %USERPROFILE% - which would have exactly the same problem

I think I tried something similar to wipe out the Edge and Onedrive nagware but it seemed to break windows update, so ended up reverting it.

The onedrive integration is one of the most annoying things about windows for me right now. Not just the constant nagging, nor the "Adverts" pasted over my computer, but one day I woke up and something had decided to move all my d

Also with the MMC option gone (so the PCB area can be reclaimed), thicker fans and cooling solution, different internal size battery and screen, I wonder if the entire mainboard has been redesigned.

~10 years ago they said they "may" do one, but every one of my friends was required to. I guess it might have changed since then? Or location dependent - I know different areas have different roads, in a reasonably-sized UK city (

It definitely is as part of the UK driving test, though they normally tell you it's coming up and intentionally take you to a quiet back road and make sure it's completely empty first. In my test the instructor told me to keep dri

And do they have the number of engineers with the required skills to rewrite half the engine? Especially if the reason why they developed using those tools and engine is they expected not to have to do it themselves in the first place? It&#

Yeah, vague terms like "local memory" aren't helpful - there's lots of different memories that are local to the shader unit that are a shared resource so can affect occupancy (the LDS, register file, TBDR stuff like the

And that outlier is the last /significant/ difference in performance. M1->M2 wasn't that big, generally seen as a small incremental improvement at best, and the last few Intel updates barely moved the needle between them.

MIPS died for android well before that - they only had microcontroller-level cores in development, which were rather unsuited to the performance requirements of android.

They won't if the M3 turns out to be a significant upgrade.

There's lots of multi-lane roundabouts in the UK, and generally seem to work well, but they're often inconsistent with how lanes merge or depart. One that gets me every time I go past is one where there's like 20 signs saying

I find I can't really tell the difference beyond ~90fps outside of artificial tests (like moving a hard edge and "counting" the edges visible, you can normally do this with a mouse cursor) in non-interactive content. But beyo

Yes - that latency measurement is extremely pessimistic, and would be an example of a "badly written" game at best. For example, it's normal for both the input processing and GPU submission to be completed within one frame
