is it illegal to write abstraction APIs on top of CUDA? I have heard this argument for half of this decade and i think something that abstracts the CUDA stuff into a thin HAL that can also call other GPU Progamming interfaces would avoid vendor lock-in.

although, I guess the main challenge is the ever-changing surface of the CUDA api?

Edit: Ok so if the argument is we should be able to use NVIDIA GPUs without CUDA that any amount of abstraction is a moot point.

So, the evil is pretending that it’s done out of the goodness of their heart. We all know the end game.

that’s not a honest argument is it now?

Companies are created by and comprised of people. It’s very clear that the concept of a company is meant to extract wealth by immoral means while shielding the owners from accountability and consequences that being a normal citizen cannot afford.

This argument irks me as it merely exists to wash the crimes of companies as if they exist on a different plane of existence where morality doesn’t exist and people pretend corporates are not just a bunch of humans in a trench coat trying to commit the crime without doing the time.

You wouldn’t understand, Namekians puke out their young after all.

I don’t recall, wasn’t google+ the new product to come out of orkut? Or was orkut bought out by google when google+ didn’t “perform as expected”

yeah my position is to be very clear that we are not against making money but about unsatiable greed shown from the likes of ubisoft or microslop.

I am speaking about those who project their profits

you must be that greedy little pig that thinks piracy reduces “potential” sales and hence “potential” profit. If you crave for what is not rightfully yours you are a sinner.

And that’s fine because the assumption behind “Indie” is they did all the hardwork themselves without getting paid regularly. Consider 500k is not a lot if you count how many months of work was put into the games without pay.

impoverished people need stable income and subsidized ration to reduce their burden. Not LLM subscriptions.

You can’t use therapy to escape hunger.

Lol this is just like saying “I do declare bankruptcy”

oh is there a controversy with BSD?

so effectively what we want is a society that brutalises and marginalises a certain community to ensure there is a stream of desperate people to take “those” jobs?

the commitment is from open source maintainers who honestly need to see some support and traction. Hopefully the idea that necessity is the mother of all inventions motivates the few who still have 486 chips to contribute support.

Actually I also pronounce it as en-ginks. The parent comment was not obvious to me

that’s how i pronounce it from the very first time i saw it

came to comment the same. But it’s been a while since I was in tiling window land so not sure if it matches what the poster is looking for.

Instructions unclear… Am vampire now.
