I do CUDA for a living (not inference) and for the life of me (and a couple of LLMs for that matter) I cannot figure out what you mean by "SM pairs". Do you mean the coupled dies on stuff like the B200? An NVidia chip die has many

I'd love for someone to give me an alternative to CUDA but I don't primarily use GPUs for inference, I do 64-bit unsigned integer workloads and the only people who seem to care even a little about this currently are NVidia, if imp

Debugging the Rust is the easy part. I write vanilla CUDA code that integrates with Rust and that one is the hard part. Abstracting over the GPU backend w/ more Rust isn't a big deal, most of it's SPIR-V anyway. I'm plan

"Quake terminal" has been a term of art for a regular terminal that drops down from the top of the screen like the terminal in Quake did for the last 20-22 years. I remember this being a thing when I started using Linux back then.

I was comparing end-to-end builds. I pay more attention to build times than someone who doesn't do it for a living typically does. https://bitemyapp.com/blog/rebuilding-rust-leptos-quickly/ https:/&#x2F

I'm also curious because I've (recently) compiled more or less identical programs in Zig and Rust and they took the same amount of time to compile. I'm guessing people are just making Zig programs with less code and fewer dep

I'm a fan but Bill Clinton was sweeping away a lot of cold war apparatus that no longer seemed necessary. It's going to be a lot harder to do anything sustainable or worthwhile with our current system without entitlement reform.

Foster was basically the rallying point for people opposed to the grammarian methods of teaching languages that started in Classics but ended up taking over how foreign language is taught in most schools and contexts. Virtually everyone act

I've written parsers and compilers in Rust. I used DAGs in a fairly standard way for stuff that needs it like references. I also work on a complicated VM with a custom memory allocation strategy professionally. Some of my other Rust pr

Mega Drive is probably earliest that was capable of it really, but Namco System 21 and especially Sega Model 1 (1990) were designed with 3d/polygons in mind but have relatively old chips in them. Programming for those things could not

I just finished posting a comment disagreeing with the author and I think you've nailed the problem with their argument more succinctly than I did. They're assuming "Forgotten Realms" and AD&D, not OD&D.

This post takes the way D&D is played today to be how Gary and his contemporaries played D&D and it leads them to the conclusion that D&D is the opposite of medieval. As near as I can tell, patrons, village leaders, barons, and

This isn't even remotely accurate to Christian belief in either the Catholic or Orthodox churches. There isn't a single church father who believed women didn't have souls, that's facially ludicrous if you know anything a

Higher demand leads to higher prices and doesn't lead to anything become net-net cheaper. That's a supply-side thing entirely and usually requires a massive regulatory or technological change. Super high gasoline production today

Using the house as a thermal battery (heat or cold, dealer's choice) works great in my house but my house is so well insulated that we have CO2 problems. Planning to setup a fresh air intake with an ERV to mitigate this.
