Can you share sample code I can try or documentation I can follow of using an AMD GPU in that way (shared, virtualized, using only open source drivers)?

You really piqued my interest. I use docker/podman.

W/ an AMD graphics card, eglinfo on the host shows the card is AMD Radeon and driver is matching that.

In the container, without --gpus=all, it shows the card is unknown and the driver is “swrast” (so just CPU fallback).

To make --gpus=all work, it gives the error

docker: Error response from daemon: could not select device driver “” with capabilities: [[gpu]

I was doing a bad job searching before. I found that AMD can share the GPU, it just works a little differently in terms of how to launch the container. https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/latest/install/amdgpu-install.html#amdgpu-install-dkms

But sadly my AMD GPU is too old/junk to have current driver support.

Anyways, appreciate the reply! Now I can mod my code to run on cheaper cloud instances.

(Note I’m an OpenGL/3D app developer, but probably OpenCL works about the same architecturally)

AFIK it’s only NVIDIA that allows containers shared access to a GPU on the host.

With the majority of code being deployed in containers, you end up locked into the NVIDIA ecosystem even if you use OpenCL. So I guess people just use CUDA since they are limited by the container requirement anyways.

That’s from my experience using OpenGL headless. If I’m wrong please correct me; I’d prefer being GPU agnostic.

Hired!

I think the pine hobby panels will be fine structurally. I think you mean the ones that are a bunch of smaller pieces glued together. In using these I have found not all the glue joints are great, though.

But, I suspect its the glue in the plywood that might damage the saw. Glued up hobby panels will likely act the same.

Might want to pick up a cheap crosscut saw / general carpentry saw for utility cutting and save the nice pull saw four detail work.

He has made a vise from a screw jack, and has some videos of it in action.

While I’ve not built his vise, I have roughly followed his instructions for other projects, and I think he really suggests things that actually work (not just “content”)

This is super cool

I don’t think we’ve yet witnessed the full benefits of the distributed nature/federation.

This should be a Venn diagram with zero overlap, lol

Maplibre (https://maplibre.org/) offers a beautiful open source solution. There are affordable open source solutions for OSM base maps too (https://github.com/protomaps/basemaps), where you can host the whole thing as a single static file.

No one should be paying Google per API key :)

True, but they were still resource constrained, which might be why they ended up with a model with lower resource requirements.

Uhh he should know all the Elite hackers call it Tracer-T

Remember this blast from the past?

Those mega corporations have intentionally misused the term “algorithm” which implies an unbiased method of ranking or sorting. What they are actually using is more like a human curated list of items to promote that supports their self serving goals.

Hi Cookie! That’s a handsome loaf you have there.

I don’t really find the Android notification system useful, as there are always a few apps that permanently place an icon in the tray. But I’m not really a mobile “power user” so I’m not the target market for these features.

Exactly. Mastodon supports polls so what the heck?

Mismanagement and inefficiency must be present everywhere at Google as they do immense amounts of R&D but are constantly beaten to innovation by smaller players.

Yup. I’m a web dev. Switched from testing first in Chome to testing first in Firefox a few months ago. And I had been Chrome first for probably 10 years prior. Some of our customers (enterprises) also started deploying/spec for FF by default in the past year.

Does this even meet the definition of a camera? This is not a projection of a scene that ever existed.

I have no idea what cats think, but when talking to them I refer to clothes as “fur,” so I guess I’m assuming they don’t know the difference.
