To my knowledge, SPIR-V on Intel will stay, and be it only because it’s part of the OpenCL and Vulkan standards.
They were maintained by Codeplay - paid for my Intel. Nvidia can make contributions anytime they want, and here is the problem: Nvidia does not want to. Until each vendor starts pitching in with contributing their…
I’m too old to participate in internet pissing contests.
If that is your standard, I do have an idea what I’m talking about.
The problem with OneAPI is naming. It leads people to believe that is another competing standard where in fact is is simply just an implementation of a standard compliant SYCL compiler. If it just had been named “Intel…
What do you mean by holistic? SYCL is an open versioned standard that allows for vendor specific extensions. The problem is not that there isn’t a proper standard, the problem is that many hardware vendors - or software…
AI will take down Nvidia’s moat. When it becomes trivial to translate CUDA/PTX to HIP, SYCL or Metal, CUDA is no longer the moat, it becomes the intermediate representation.
Life saving feature for ppl with ADHD. M
It may have a different connotation in the US than in Europe. In US media I’ve only heard the term being used recently, in Europe it’s been around for decades. In Europe, “Antifascist” is a label that people groups use…
They’ve been doing this since the post-9/11 DHS initiative, at least.
I tried to get Copilot to port the Linux drivers for my HP CP1025 to macOS, but it failed. Even modern Linux can’t print to it any more, I had to put an older distribution on a RasPi and now I’m printing at reduced…
Cycles is getting direct code contributions from all major hardware vendors.
Unfortunately, Vulkan Compute doesn’t to all the things that OpenCL, SYCL, HIP or CUDA do.

If you think that’s dedication: I met Dominic (DA) who they interviewed in this article almost 20 years ago in the Spanish desert, where taught us Euroburners the art of MOOP cleanup. He’s been at it for a long time now.
I’ve had a similar FAANG experience. They approached me, I made “no relocation” a non-negotiable condition from the start. We started talking, I did the marathon interview until late in the night (CET vs PT), put my…
I would love to see a BeOS/Haiku userland on top, of the Linux Kernel. That would bring wide hardware support, including HW accelerated 3D (something BeOS was always lacking). It is not going to happen though, the…
Linux 20 years ago wasn’t what it is today. Low latency audio for example, that was something that BeOS in the late 90s could do out of the box, a similar experience on Linux required special kernel patches and some…
Not just side projects. We did two feature animations using Blender, more projects in the pipeline: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iZn3kCsw5D8
In my experience, OepnCL in Catalina is about as good or bad as it was in Mojave.
Part of it is pure luck - being at the right place at the right time. An on site internship gave me a foot in the door for my first remote job. After that, I had experience in a certain niche and a couple of open source…
German here as well - the lack of employer flexibility is why in the last 15 years, I have been working exclusively for companies overseas, remotely. I found it much easier to negotiate remote work with an employer…
HIView was up to date and documented, and there were WWDC sessions teaching developers why they should move to HIView and how to do it. Likewise, Apple provided documentation about how to port your Carbon application to…
You have to add all kinds of reference qualifiers (__strong, __weak, ...).
Apple may initially have intended Carbon as temporary, but has changed their stance when they started adding new APIs that never existed in MacOS 9 - HIView/HIWindow was intended to unify Carbon and Cocoa, there was…
