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”)

Name and shame the brand!

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 :)

Be thankful you have a button and don’t need to navigate through 3 levels of touchscreen menus to get to the option.

Yup. If source is not available I’m not using it if I have any choice in the matter. Binary distribution is nice, but I’d rather have source.

Plus I’m sure some kind soul has created a build pipeline that autogenerates binaries from the source. I can always either use that or clone and customize it. It’s a natural separation—as a dev I’d like my responsibility to end at “I merged working code to trunk”.

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

Remember this blast from the past?

I’m in the US. 90% of devs I work with write it in ISO 8601 anyways, even in emails or chats. Not only does it make sense, it also sorts logically and is more searchable (eg 2024-11-*).

My point was not that X would be able to do something about this, but that it is not a source of breaking news, and fundamentally not a replacement for journalism…and should not be used as such.

The original post has 58k views, the correct information has 2k. That is the level of efficiency that site has in disseminating correct information.

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.

There are public utilities in the US. And yes, they offer better service and lower costs than the competing private utilities.

I didn’t know about the benefits until I moved somewhere served by them. I think we would have more of them if people could see the benefits, but unfortunately the utilities you have access to are limited by where you live.

Same. It is after all their own time they are wasting, so whatever. I get paid either way.
