    for anyone reading this comment hoping for an actual eli5, the “technical POV” here is nonsense bullshit. you don’t program GPUs with assembly.

    the rest of the comment is the poster filling in bad comparisons with worse details

      literally looks like LLM-generated generic slop: confidently incorrect without even a shred of thought

        yep, clueless. can’t tell a register apart from a soprano. and allocs? the memory’s right there in the machine, it has it already! why does it need an alloc!

        fuckin’ dipshit

        next time you want to do a stupid driveby, pick somewhere else

          Sufficiently advanced skiddies are indistinguishable from malloc

        this user is just too smart for the average awful systems poster to deal with, and has been sent on his way to a more intellectual lemmy

          the wildest bit is that one could literally just … go do the thing. like you could grab the sdk and run through the tutorial and actually have babby’s first gpu program in not too long at all[0], with all the lovely little bits of knowledge that entails

          but nah, easier to just make some nonsense up out of thirdhand conversations misheard out of a gamer discord talking about a news post of a journalist misunderstanding a PR statement, and then confidently spout that synthesis

          [0] - I’m eliding “make the cuda toolchain run” for argument of simplicity. could just rent a box that has it, for instance
