I've written a bit of CUDA before. If I want to go pretty bare-bones, what's the equivalent setup for writing code for my AMD card?


HIP works very similarly. Install rocm from your Linux distribution or from amd's repo, or build it from github.com/rocm. Has the nice feature of being pure userspace if you use the driver version that's already in your kernel.

How turn-key / happy an experience that is depends on how closely your system correlates with one of the documented/tested distro versions and what GPU you have. If it's one that doesn't have binary versions of rocblas etc in the binary blob, either build rocm from source or don't bother with rocblas.


I think this might be considered disposable by military prices. Missiles, torpedoes etc are very expensive


I am aware that missiles and torpedoes are very expensive. Disposable drones are changing doctrine in ways that more expensive missiles and torpedoes do not.


We still need to receive the mail somehow. It's analogous to the post of yesteryear.

The issue seems to me that marketing loves to abuse dark patterns and whatnot to sign most people up for a torrent of emails. My partner has thousands of unread emails and most regular people I know would be in a similar boat. We can't expect people to keep an inbox zero level of diligence.

Maybe some better legislation around unsolicited advertisements is needed? I don't want to have to unsubscribe. Don't sign me up in the first place.


I cancelled my Kagi subscription because it's a little too expensive for me in the unlimited search tier. And I search too much for the limited search tier.

I can't help but wonder if my money was being spent on pet projects like this instead of improving/maintaining the search.


All companies allocate some fraction of their resources towards innovation outside of what is currently their core feature-set.


On top of that, the top comment from the Kagi CEO says this was developed by a single developer in a couple of weeks... Yes they will have to finish building up infrastructure behind it, but as a paying Kagi user I'm more than happy to support any side ventures that ultimately end up making search better in the long run.


Yeah like it's fine. I just felt the value wasn't quite there for me personally and I found a few too many projects coming out that didn't benefit me. So I cancelled. No harm done in the end, just a little sad nothing is filling my personal niche of the market.


They don't spend your money, fella.

They spend their money, some of which you paid them in exchange for services. Which you've stopped doing.


Of course I understand that it's not my money. Weirdly hostile comment.

I'm just expressing that the value wasn't quite there for myself. And these projects kept coming out so I wondered if they were the reason for the higher prices.


Please don't just vaguely say you're pretty sure of something because of a half remembered fact


They're trying to avoid repurcussions from saying something their employer doesn't endorse


No reasonable person would think that Google, the company, would endorse a message like this:

> it's actually $42-$79 that most of us didn't have to fight particularly hard for


How so? GNU licensed software cannot be built on by large companies without them publishing the source code. You think they want that?


Of course. Large companies already have business plans. They just need software to implement them, and GNU gives them exactly that for free! Who do you think uses that stuff? Your parents?


Yes. They also don't want competition. That's why opensource won.


From Wikipedia:

>In November 2018, SoftBank acquired a warrant to buy up to $3 billion worth of shares in the company by the end of September 2019 at a $42 billion valuation.

Valuation comes from how much stake you buy blown out as if the rest of the shares cost that much. This naturally doesn't make a lot of sense because the price would go up as you bought the rest of the shares. Still the valuation is ball park correct it was just a complete cock-up on the buyers part.


More SoftBank smoke and mirrors. Nobody was ever going to buy $3B at $42B valuation. Likely they were just doing that to give the appearance of such a valuation, aka, manipulating the public.


No, they bought $2B at $47B valuation a year later.


I'm sorry this happened to you but why on earth did you take on so much risk?


Agree. I have no qualms paying for open source software if I think the owners treats their users well. I pay for Joplin Cloud but so far they haven't hidden all my data behind a forced signup screen (unless I jump through some export hoops just to end up in a worse user experience)
