Hello to you, person, AI, bot or perhaps another kind of being I haven’t identify yet. Here are some links to follow if you have some more time to spend
It's a very useful guide, I used it when working on torch-webgpu some time ago. Elie also published few packages that help with using some WebGPU related things, I don't remember exactly what was that but I recall it saved me lots of time
Print ondemand can be ordered for less than $5 per zine in Lulu, since 2022 or so. I guess Zach doesn’t make a cut from it since this $5 probably barely covers the cost of print and Lulu fee :(
README is in my opinion (author here) the most interesting - I wrote it to help others build useful mental model to be able to recreate the project yourself, without need to even read my code
Adding a support for new hardware to PyTorch is actually quite convenient. I did that with WebGPU using the same PrivateUse1 mechanism TorchTPU used. Every hardware has its own slot and identifier, and when you want to add a support for a new one without merging it into PyTorch, PrivateUse1 works essentially like plug-in slot
Honestly there is a lot for room of improvement in torch-webgpu for performance. Needs involvement of community but the opportunities are definitely there
Overall I think it’s a good perspective and worth reading to learn your perspective and experience. Just for anyone who doesn’t come from a good place, please be kind to yourself. You probably really need to work exceptionally hard and need to have top 1% resume. And articles like this can be quite depressing. Don’t let it you down
The author tries to be mindful about it and I appreciate it, but from a perspective of someone from a shithole it still might feel bad
Referring to:
> I've never gotten a job by applying to it. It's always been referrals or someone reaching out to me. So honestly, my resume is shit compared to my peers. I'm terrible at interviewing, and I've never done LeetCode. This is not a brag; it's just not my style. Am I a nepo baby? I don't know. Was I a morale hire? I'm pretty disagreeable. Was it merit? Also not sure
> I recognize that not everyone has access to the same networking opportunities, and the traditional job application process can be a valid and necessary path for many. But social media, when used correctly, is a great way to get an opportunity
So in some sense we start recreating an operating system, or at least the userspace, within the Claude code. There was some name for this pattern but I can’t recall
