I can't believe the whole Linux CVE mess. I had Linux CVEs hooked up to my keyboard heater, but now they're generating so many useless CVEs my keyboard is far too hot for comfort! I'm angrily waiting for the kernel team to take this problem seriously.

It's kind of funny when people complain about things which are the direct result of something being useful for a long time. Like yeah it's complex and has a bunch of weird extensions, it's been solving (hopefully real) problems for 20 years. And guess what, if you throw all that away to build something "clean" you're still going to end up with a complete clusterfuck in N years (where N can be as low as 0, depending on how good you are at designing complex systems)

Another way of looking at it too, is that even if something is very painful for somebody, that does not imply it's bad! It might be bad, but it also might be really good and just causes one specific person a lot of sadness. There's lots of things which cause me sadness, as my job tends to revolve around hitting frame rate and memory targets. But just because something is hard for me to deal with doesn't mean it should necessarily go away (as much as i wish it). And the same goes for all roles.

Pick up your keyboard, turn it upside down and shake it over an empty surface.

Be amazed at what falls out.

Feel ashamed you didn't do that sooner.

@TomF @fatlimey i just throw out my keyboard once a month and get a new, clean, one.

subgroup ops are a mindfuck on top of the existing mindfuck of work groups, local work groups, dispatches and invocations.

@zeux @oblomov Well it's hard to argue with the vulkan spec on matters of terminology, no matter how ridiculous it is.

> [vkCmdDispatch] When the command is executed, a global workgroup consisting of groupCountX × groupCountY × groupCountZ local workgroups is assembled.
> Decorating a variable with the GlobalInvocationId built-in decoration will make that variable contain the location of the current invocation within the global workgroup.
