#Resonite is impressing me lately with just how open content development can be in an open virtual space, giving me great hope for #VR as a medium finally moving into maturity.

Same with #Fediverse / #ActivityPub / #Mastodon. Very happy with watching a communalization project slowly take over a mature, undifferentiated market.

Also very happy with some of the stuff that was coming out of the computer chips community before the pandemic, as RTX is an underrated achievement, on top of our ability to run massive systems like AI through CUDA.

And speaking of AI, look into #AIDungeon by #Latitude: having it write tandem stories with the user is exactly the kind of thing the current technology is suited for.

@Raccoon @thomasfuchs CUDA is pretty much locked into Nvidia tech, right?

You know, I'm so used to messing with it like that, I didn't even realize that was Nvidia's proprietary snowflake driver.

Apparently the normal version is OpenCL and ROCm.

Still, batch computing on the GPU when you aren't using it for graphics is getting a lot of power out of the hardware that we just didn't utilize before.

@Raccoon @thomasfuchs Absolutely it’s like a Cray in desktop.

@Raccoon @DeltaWye @thomasfuchs OpenCL was an early attempt at an open standard. The current-gen standand is Compute Shaders, which is integrated into Vulkan, Metal, and DX12. The wgpu (rust) and dawn (C++) libraries provide cross-platform access to this interface.
