Tesla lays off 'more than 10%' of its global workforce

  • Really? Do you know of a company that has both developers and engineers where the distinction is not location?

    Where I work, we have both, but it's purely a location thing. In the American offices we're called "engineers", yet my coworkers in Canada are called "developers" despite doing the exact same work. We don't have "developers" in the US.

  • It's not restricted in the US.

    If the person is calling themselves a "software developer" instead of a "software engineer" then they almost certainly live some place where "engineer" is a restricted term.

  • Are you a senior or staff software engineer for a multinational tech company in the Bay Area or NYC?

    $450k is typical in that case.

    • First game emulator to be approved in the AppStore - iGBA

    Jump

  • An emulator, even a paid one, would be totally legal in the US as long as:

    1. It does not use any patented technologies. I'm not sure if Nintendo has any patents in the emulation space, but regardless the GBA is so simple that it wouldn't require patented techniques to emulate.
    2. It does not contain any proprietary (copyrighted) code. On more modern consoles, this would include the BIOS or Firmware files. Does the GBA even need something like that?

    Number 1 is a non-issue for a GBA emulator. Number 2 is more tricky, but it's always possible to reverse engineer and reimplement the firmware. That's protected by the Compaq v. IBM case.

    The recent drama with the Switch emulator is that they violated the second principle.

    • Bill to make marrying your first cousin illegal in Tennessee passes but not without a fight

    Jump

  • I'm intentionally trying to separate the social discrimination problem from the legal problem, and to not make a comment about the former.

    I guess I get that the state has an interest in preventing incestuous birth, but marriage is orthogonal sex.

    • Bill to make marrying your first cousin illegal in Tennessee passes but not without a fight

    Jump

  • This isn't about "acceptance" in the social sense. I'm not saying you have to accept cousin fuckers in your community.

    I'm more worried about the legal framework. If it is legal to outlaw this, why is it illegal to outlaw gay marriage? Like, that doesn't seem ideologically consistent.

    • Bill to make marrying your first cousin illegal in Tennessee passes but not without a fight

    Jump

  • I know everyone is like "haha cousin fuckers."

    But really, do we want the government to pass laws restricting who we can and cannot marry?

    I can't help but notice the overlap with LGBT rights. I'm pretty sure I'd prefer them to not pass this law.

    Like, from a legal and philosophical perspective, why is it OK for the government to restrict this? Why wouldn't that same argument apply to gay men getting married?

    • Developer Explains Why Explicit Sync Will Finally Solve the NVIDIA/Wayland Issues

    Jump

  • Yeah, but I want both GPU compute and Wayland for my desktop.

    • Is this intentional?
    Jump

  • I hate it.

    And it doesn't do this on the official web frontend, nor on the Photon web frontend (at least on mobile, haven't checked desktop).

    So I think the developers of Lemmy don't expect this to work.

    Jump

  • Long term, I expect Vulkan to be the replacement to CUDA. ROCm isn't going anywhere...

    We just need fundamental Vulkan libraries to be developed that can replace the CUDA equivalents.

    • cuFFT -> vkFFT (this definitely exists)
    • cuBLAS -> vkBLAS (is anyone working on this?)
    • cuDNN -> vkDNN (this definitely doesn't exist)

    At that point, adding Vulkan support to XLA (Jax and TensorFlow) or ATen (PyTorch) wouldn't be that difficult.

    • Developer Explains Why Explicit Sync Will Finally Solve the NVIDIA/Wayland Issues

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, those of us doing scientific compute don't have a real alternative.

    ROCm just isn't as widely supported as CUDA, and neither is Vulkan for GPGPU use cases.

    AMD dropped the ball on GPGPU, and Nvidia is eating their lunch. Linux desktop users be damned.

    • Biden may have trouble getting on Ohio’s general election ballot, state’s top election official warns

  • States decide the procedures for getting onto the ballot.

    The SCOTUS ruling is that states cannot apply the 14th amendment to keep someone off of the ballot, which is a separate issue from whether the party/candidate followed the proper process for getting onto the ballot in the first place.

  • Illegal how?

    States have processes for deciding who is on the ballot. All candidates who wish to be on the ballot must follow those processes, including the incumbent president.
