100%. And that psychosis translates into kafkian level of bureaucratic absurdity and stupidity, especially when real motives are masked under pretense of something rational which it is not.

Dumb bureaucracy with dumb requirements will be met with corresponding response.

ntsync was out already for a while. And it's not necessarily faster than previously available esync and fsync, but it's more correct and clean.

It does, yeah.

Depending on some remote AI provider is a major lock-in pitfall. But it's exactly what those AI providers want you to do.

As if anyone would trust explanations on why they are gathering data. Data is data and can be used for whatever.

It is weird even in the current version. Totally a horror story, not a children's tale.

Trolls will always be trolls. The need to fight them just shows the need to reform the garbage patent system to make sure no one can ever patent software.

Nice. What's the current state of of Dolby trying too attack AV1 ecosystem (Snapchat more specifically)? I hope there is an organized fight back by AOM against these trolls.

That Mikrotik switch must be heating up like crazy if you fill all 4 ports, since it's using copper . How about this one? https://mikrotik.com/product/crs305_1g_4s_in You can use fiber optic SFP+ in it which shoul

Any good neovim plugin recommendation for hex editing?

Will it change Apple's extreme bend into lock-in for the better?

Add to it the disgusting level of forcing it on people by those who want to profit from it. Surely people will like it.

> because GPUs are weird and the tools are weird. Why is it also that terminology is so all over the place. Subgroups, wavefronts, warps etc. referring to the same concept. That doesn't help it.

I see, thanks. Would be good if Vulkan was pushed more as an approach for this since others are GPU specific.
49.
by shmerl 6mo ago
Yeah, that's why I said most of the time. Sometimes even for CPUs things need assembly. But no one stops you using GPU assembly either when needed I suppose? It should not be the default approach probably.

I think Rust GPU is built on top of Vulkan + SPIR-V as their main foundation, not on top of CUDA or ROCm. What I meant more is the language of writing GPU programs themselves, not necessarily the machinery right below it. Vulkan is good to

by shmerl 6mo ago
I don't think that's something that can be pitched as a CUDA alternative. Just different level.

by shmerl 6mo ago
Side question, but why not advance something like Rust GPU instead as a general approach to GPU programming? https://github.com/Rust-GPU/rust-gpu/ From all the existing examples, it really looks the most interesti

I'd say viewing it as most important is pretty unprofessional. But isn't it the point of this extreme AI push? To replace professional skills with dummy parrots.

Their goal was to have a captured audience. Once the audience is captured, of course enshittification will happen.

Thanks for the pointer. I guess to simulate what lazy.nvim does with loading plugins based on user commands, you can use something like this: ``` vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", ... ``` But it only solves the actual lazy part.

Sure, what I mean is common router CPUs. High end desktop CPU won't break a sweat.

It becomes harder if you try to do it with 10 Gbps. Most CPUs struggle with it without dedicated accelerator chips.
