Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry will not be tolerated.

These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

It's necessary for my very important hobby of generating anime nudes.

CUDA isn't the responsibility of AMD to chase; it's the responsibility of Nvidia to quit being anticompetitive.

It's also not my problem either. I don't give a shit what nvidia or AMD does, I just want to be able to run AI stuff on my rig in as open-source a manner as is possible.

...in as open-source a manner as is possible.

And that means "not with CUDA," because CUDA is proprietary.

This is a semantic argument I don't feel like getting into. I don't give a shit what library it is -- I want AMD to be able to crunch pytorch as well as nvidia.

The fact that CUDA is proprietary to Nvidia isn't even slightly "semantics;" it's literally the entire problem this thread is discussing. CUDA doesn't work on AMD because Nvidia doesn't allow it to work on AMD.
