Just a tech industry-wide coordinated assault on privacy. Nothing to worry about at all.

Just leaving this here, no particular connection to my previous post.

Feel free to read it again while stretching the s's if you feel like it though.

@julienbarnoin These four companies doing dodgy things?

I am shocked, shocked!, to hear that there are privacy concerns going on at these companies!

The current language situation for GPGPU programming is rather depressing from my point of view.
Today we have a wealth of CPU languages but not a hint of standardized GPU-side compatibility.

I'd love to program everything (CPU, GPU compute, GPU graphics) in the same basic, standardized language.
Does that sound unreasonable? I understand that it's not there yet but I don't see any major effort towards this.

It feels like the people in the best situation to address this would be the Khronos group. Sadly they seem uninterested in this, they feel like GLSL is just fine as it is and have no one working on evolving it or a next version (I asked).
Their solution seems to be to rely more and more on HLSL instead... Great. 😑

@julienbarnoin CPUs and GPUs are inherently different architectures and the kind of code I'd want to run on each differs. As a result I don't see much value in being able to run code on both. Rather I'd like to have a good language for GPGPU programming, something that facilitates writing GPU programs for GPUs. Maybe something from the APL or Haskell families of languages.
