I love it when capitalism goes the investment strategy of vampirism, where they suck out all the life force just for quick profit.

@ShadowJonathan the fun part is, if it crashes it's always described like a weather report, nobody's at fault, it's just "harsh market conditions", entirely natural phenomenon. Nobody could have known. It just appears out of nowhere every time.

So, I had to call a German-only hotline to find out about a payment I missed because of a combined malfunction of a website and physical mail sending that resulted in me having no electricity on a day's notice

The hotline told me to go to a physical office

I had to grab a ticket, speak to a person that told me to go somewhere else in the building to pay, then inform via a phone that I paid, the person on the phone then told me to phone another number in 20 minutes so I can schedule an appointment so I can get the electricity back

@VegaHarmonia sounds like Germany alright

If your feature isn't important enough to e.g. save lives, it's probably also not important enough to be opt-out.

And if it's not important enough to bother users with an opt-in request, then maybe it's just not important enough at all.

@TheStroyer I'm really not in the mood for those kind of arguments.

Either respond in good faith or not at all.

karolherbst OP , vor 10 Tagen

@TheStroyer you are free to ask questions if you didn't fully understand the meaning behind my post.

But anyway, user installing software is already opt-in by definition, "hidden features" e.g. ads or analytics shouldn't be opt-out, which they often are.

after I'm done with this rework, I'll need a break...

" 5 files changed, 777 insertions(+), 617 deletions(-)"

karolherbst OP , vor 14 Tagen

so, it ended up being " 5 files changed, 815 insertions(+), 626 deletions(-)"

and here it is: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/30152

the tldr is, that OpenCL requires you to handle global id offsets and other internal stuff, which 99.99% of all invocations don't need, so this strips a bit of ALU operations in those good cases.

and with that. happy weekend or something 🙃

karolherbst OP , vor 14 Tagen

the code changes are probably terrible, because I didn't really know where I'd land. But I also don't think I can trim down the complexity here without other changes I'm not in the mood of doing atm 🙃

I need a -O-1 flag in clang

karolherbst OP , vor 14 Tagen

@a1ba @VegaHarmonia yeah.. instcombine can generate integer types of non pot bit size and the spirv-llvm-translator doesn't handle them at all, so that's sadly not an option.

karolherbst OP , vor 14 Tagen

@a1ba @VegaHarmonia I've played around with running some LLVM opt passes, it's just not a great model to hope that some passes don't screw it up for us.

@CodingThunder being as close to the input as possible.

karolherbst OP , vor 14 Tagen

@CodingThunder sometimes there are some annoying language rules in the way, like integer promotion in C, which would cause an 8 bit addition to get represented as conversion to 32 bit, 32 bit add and a conversion to 8 bit

It's kinda telling that 99.9% of the time somebody says "personal responsibility" it's an oppressive take on something.

@necrophcodr like that one has to get better education to get a non shitty paying job.

And if the educational system failed you, it's your fault, not the system's, so nothing needs to change and you are only left with blame.

what did I miss this time?

18+ karolherbst OP , vor 14 Tagen

@gabboman It's a hard question to answer without knowing what's going on honestly.

But yeah, kinda.

18+ karolherbst OP , vor 14 Tagen

@gabboman ohh that one, nah, I've seen that one 🙃

I thought something else was going on.
