why is it so high? all of their high performance stuff is on device wasm, so all of that just to host their website and like collab features or some such?

dear zed ppl, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE configure your language detection properly wrt C and C++! every single editor on earth makes this exact same mistake where they think all C is valid C++ (it's not, at all), and mistakenly recognises C

everyone else who uses cuda isn't going to learn rust either

even putting aside how rust ownership semantics map poorly onto gpu programming, ml researchers will never learn rust, this will never ever happen...

erotika as art form/expression isn’t diametrically opposed to porn industry, but it’s close to being… pornography industry is evil as hell and cannot be reformed/regulated into an acceptable state, and actively prevents ppl from d

there is no build system that everyone has installed/is familiar w, single header libraries are as portable as C or UTF-8 itself are (so still the best choice), the only other alternative i see it using C itself as build system (i mean

while i understand the sentiment and having an app for everything is annoying, there’s a reason ppl prefer app: most web developers are either incompetent as hell or don’t care and write horrible websites, and forcing ppl to make a native a

so it’s just a matter of rust gpu not yet supporting these features?

i’m always confused wrt how shader languages that target a bunch of other framework specific shader languages manage to map all the available features correctly? like tensor core support, non-uniform thread groups, different data type suppo

i’m confused who the intended userbase for this is you either use like a game engine that generates all the platform specific gpu code and shaders for you, or you can take advantage of writing all the different gpu specific and shader code

blackmail, deepfakes, misinformation, impersonation? literally any website containing images is in most cases overwhelmed with an unlimited supply of ai generated garbage ai image generators are barely two years old, and have already caused

not legally i guess, but in spirit i'd say it is? also obviously depends on the case, copyright law is often very stupid and broken, like there's no reason why this book written 100 years ago isn't in public domain, but scrap

models will straight up return training data sometimes if you prompt them with like an image file name like IMG_1234.JPG though i'd say that this is not the equivalent of a human glancing at an image and then have the memory of details

i have to ask, do you also count world war victims as victims of the printing press because military orders and propaganda were printed on paper? is the the telephone, copper in the wires and electromagnetism itself also complicit in genoci

printing press has legitimate applications besides printing indulgences, ai image generators have no legitimate applications one technology could be used to do bad things, the other technology is guaranteed to only be used to do bad thing

i'm sorry, but you have to be extremely naive to think that all these companies actually respect people's work enough to verify that all their training data is properly licensed, and deliberately hinder themselves and put themselv

just because we can't prevent something from being invented, doesn't mean we can't prevent its spread: we limit technology all the time like chemical weapons were invented, bioweapons were invented, meth manufacturing was inv

the technologies you mentioned helped spread very useful information, not worthless images devoid of meaning, artistic expression and thought also, even in absence of copyright, the unprecedented scale of art theft that these technologies n

interesting, hopefully same homonegisation will happen to gpu sphere as well :)

my point of comparison is other types of accelerators (CPUs mostly) and GPU ecosystem in the past (when there was just like openCL and openGL)

by taminka 3y ago
to clarify, this is a gpgpu lib implementation that's compliant to the openCL spec, right? i imagine if i tried to explain to someone the state of modern GPU computing i'd sound like an insane person, why is it so complicated, ugh

there are obv alternatives from both intel and amd, performant blas/dnn packages, but small teams don’t use them bc cuda is easier to use and has more support, and larger teams don’t use them bc they have deals w/ nvidia or not en
