I agree. An anecdote:

A while ago I was working on some CUDA kernels for n-body physics simulations. It wasn’t too complicated and the end result was generative art. The problem was that it was quite slow and I didn’t know why. Well the core of the application was written in Clojure so I wrote a simple macro to wrap every function in a ns with a span and then ship all the data to jaeger. This ended up being exactly what I needed - I found out that the two slowest functions were data transfer between the GPU memory and writing out a frame (image) to my disk.

In many other places I see the usefulness of this approach but OTel is too often too geared towards HTTP services. Even simple async/queue processing is not as simple. Though, there have been improvements (like span links and trace links).

Fun fact, there are multiple pieces of software that will real-time correct your eye tracking. Useful for virtual all hands or talks to fix teleprompter eyes.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding but CUDA compiles to PTX? Is the implication they wrote in a different language than CUDA and to generate the PTX?

I'm working on a little site called WGSL Toy, here: https://wgsltoy.com/

It's basically like ShaderToy but for WebGPU instead of WebGL. I started it as I have been doing some Rust + wgpu development for art projects and I need a easy way to play around with shaders.

It's very early in development - you can go and just use it right now. But soon I want to support creating an account, saving / sharing shaders, and eventually go beyond the featureset of ShaderToy by allowing for custom input images / textures.

Code is on github: https://github.com/sdedovic/wgsltoy

Don’t see a link in your bio. Do you have a website / store?

not the OP but,

I am in my 20s and I use a typewriter somewhat regularly to journal. I was raised on computers, getting the jumble from my brain onto paper is faster with a keyboard than a pen/pencil and paper. And a typewriter is nice and analog - no screen, no lights, no battery. I'm disconnected, focused, and performant.

I notice the title says

Are there more documents or a catalog?

Imagine this:

You buy a house. Your house has a little box by the front door. The box holds a small House Environment Integrity (HEI) module. This HEI is something your local Home Owners Association installed. They say you cannot open the box or investigate how the module inside works, as this is against the HOA and you will be fined. They tell you this HEI module is meant to help and protect you. To make sure the plumber you hire didn't do a bad job or that the paint you used on your walls doesn't contain lead. They say it's for your benefit and to make your home a better and safer place. This does not reduce the control of your own house.
