From the ARCHITECTURE.md:
> Those pointers point to undocumented functions forming CUDA Dark API. It's impossible to tell how many of them exist, but debugging experience suggests there are tens of function pointers across tens of tables. A typical application will use one or two most common. Due to they undocumented nature they are exclusively used by Runtime API and NVIDIA libraries (and in by CUDA applications in turn). We don't have names of those functions nor names or types of the arguments. This makes implementing them time-consuming. Dark API functions are are reverse-engineered and implemented by ZLUDA on case-by-case basis once we observe an application making use of it.
- leeoniya 3y agofertile soil for Alyssa and Asahi Lina :) https://rosenzweig.io/ https://rosenzweig.io/ https://vt.social/@lina https://vt.social/@lina
- smcl 3y agoI know that Lina doesn't like a lot of the attention HN sends her way so it may be better if you don't link her socials here.
- bigdict 3y agoSounds ridiculous, why have a public presence on a social network then?
- cyanydeez 3y agooh. I think the emphasis is on hacker news. you know certain social media sites contain certain toxic conversants.
- bigdict 3y ago> you know certain social media sites contain certain toxic conversants. That's just people…
- cyanydeez 3y agoyes, but the difference between flys gathering at shit and bees to honey.
- throw10920 3y agoHN isn't very toxic. You must be confusing it with another social media site. If anything, the Asahi devs are the ones acting out.
- dralley 3y agoIIRC, it's not that she doesn't like the attention to her work, it's that she doesn't like how quickly conversations get derailed by things that have nothing to do with the work.
- smcl 3y agoShe's gotten a fair amount of unwanted attention from HN specifically, guys trying to dox her and stirring rumours about her. Like just mean-spirited stuff, and if you or I had experienced this then we'd likely feel the same animosity towards HN.
- leeoniya 3y agopretty sure she's a vt.social admin, so she can always do what jwz does with HN referer headers :D given how omnipresent she is with her live streaming, it's a bit like South Park's Worldwide Privacy Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N8_5LDkZwY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N8_5LDkZwY
- throw10920 3y agoI think it would be better to avoid mention of them (or the Asahi project) on HN entirely, for that matter. If they don't want HN to criticize them, then they should expect to not get the free publicity that HN offers. Seems fair enough. Also, between accusing HN of "supporting trans genocide" (which is some mix between "impossible" and "false"), and poisoning links with HN referrer URLs, they don't seem like very good people themselves.
- squigz 3y agoCan you provide some context about this?
- squigz 3y agoFound some... Seems crazy to me; this community has never felt transphobic to me... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36226845 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36226845
- pests 3y agoThat is unhinged. I am at a loss after reading that thread. I always thought HN was a little over represented in the queer and furry communities.

- squigz 3y agoDo you have any recent examples? This has never been my experience, and in the post I linked, other users fail to find such examples too. It also seems strange to me to complain about comments/posts that are moderated?
- anaisbetts 3y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39336904 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39336904 is an example - an article about astronomy has a single mention of gendered language which kicks off an entire mess
- PoignardAzur 3y agoHaving an ARCHITECTURE.md file at all is extremely promising, but theirs seems pretty polished too!
- gdiamos 3y agoThese were a huge pain in the ass when I tried this 20 years ago on Ocelot. Eventually one of the NVIDIA engineers just asked me to join and I did. :-P
