[Edit 3/4/24 11:30am PT: Clarified article to reflect that this clause is available on the online listing of Nvidia's EULA, but has not been in the EULA text file included in the downloaded software. The warning text was added to 11.6 and newer versions of the installed CUDA documentation.] Nvidia has banned running CUDA-based software on other hardware platforms using translation layers in its licensing terms listed online since 2021, but the warning previously wasn't included in the documentation placed on a host system during the installation process. This language has been added to the EULA that's included when installing CUDA 11.6 and newer versions. The restriction appears to be designed to prevent initiatives like ZLUDA, which both Intel and AMD have recently participated, and, perhaps more critically, some Chinese GPU makers from utilizing CUDA code with translation layers. We've pinged Nvidia for comment and will update you with additional details or clarifications when we get a response. Longhorn, a software engineer, noticed the terms. "You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any portion of the output generated using SDK elements for the purpose of translating such output artifacts to target a non-NVIDIA platform.," a clause in the installed EULA text file reads. The clause was absent in the EULA documentation that's installed with the CUDA 11.4 and 11.5 release, and presumably with all versions before that. However, it is present in the installed documentation with version 11.6 and newer. Being a leader has a good side and a bad side. On the one hand, everyone depends on you; on the other hand, everyone wants to stand on your shoulders. The latter is apparently what has happened with CUDA. Because the combination of CUDA and Nvidia hardware has proven to be incredibly efficient, tons of programs rely on it. However, as more competitive hardware enters the market, more users are inclined to run their CUDA programs on competing platforms. There are two ways to do it: recompile the code (available to developers of the respective programs) or use a translation layer. For obvious reasons, using a translation layer like ZLUDA is the easiest way to run a CUDA program on non-Nvidia hardware. All one has to do is take already-compiled binaries and run them using ZLUDA or other translation layers. ZLUDA appears to be floundering now, with both AMD and Intel having passed on the opportunity to develop it further, but that doesn't mean translation isn't viable. Several Chinese GPU makers, including one funded by the Chinese government, claim to run CUDA code. Denglin Technology designs processors featuring a "computing architecture compatible with programming models like CUDA/OpenCL." Given that reverse engineering of an Nvidia GPU is hard (unless one already somehow has all the low-level details about Nvidia GPU architectures), we are probably dealing with some sort of translation layer here, too. One of the largest Chinese GPU makers, Moore Threads, also has a MUSIFY translation tool designed to allow CUDA code to work with its GPUs. However, whether or not MUSIFY falls under the classification of a complete translation layer remains to be seen (some of the aspects of MUSIFY could involve porting code). As such, it isn't entirely clear if the Nvidia ban on translation layers is a direct response to these initiatives or a pre-emptive strike against future developments. For obvious reasons, using translation layers threatens Nvidia's hegemony in the accelerated computing space, particularly with AI applications. This is probably the impetus behind Nvidia's decision to ban running their CUDA applications on other hardware platforms using translation layers. Recompiling existing CUDA programs remains perfectly legal. To simplify this, both AMD and Intel have tools to port CUDA programs to their ROCm (1) and OpenAPI platforms, respectively. As AMD, Intel, Tenstorrent, and other companies develop better hardware, more software developers will be inclined to design for these platforms, and Nvidia's CUDA dominance could ease over time. Furthermore, programs specifically developed and compiled for particular processors will inevitably work better than software run via translation layers, which means better competitive positioning for AMD, Intel, Tenstorrent, and others against Nvidia — if they can get software developers on board. GPGPU remains an important and highly competitive arena, and we'll be keeping an eye on how the situation progresses in the future. 0 seconds of 1 minute, 31 secondsVolume 0% https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidia-bans-using-translation-layers-for-cuda-software-to-run-on-other-chips-new-restriction-apparently-targets-zluda-and-some-chinese-gpu-makers

We’re not sure entirely how useful this will be, but for those of you with a plentiful NFT collection, a GitHub user called snarflakes has published instructions for creating an NFT viewer out of a Raspberry Pi Zero and a Pirate Audio pHAT from Pimoroni. The brains of the unit is a Raspberry Pi Zero WH, the model with the built-in Wi-Fi and pre-soldered GPIO header. The tiny computer sits behind a Pimoroni Pirate Audio, a 1.3 inch SPI LCD display, which has a resolution of 240 x 240px, four buttons and a speaker that connects directly to the Pi’s GPIO pins. There’s a slim battery pack too, connected to the GPIO of the Raspberry Pi Zero WH via a UPS Lite board. All you need is the software, installed to a Micro SD card, and you are ready to appreciate your art collection. The Python code running the project, drives the display, processes the users input via the four buttons, plays the tunes and calls up the art images from their URLs. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/raspberry-pi-nft-viewer

A German hardware hacker by the name of KittenLabs has published a blog post about how they managed to get the classic GTA: Vice City running smoothly on a router. Using an unusual hardware concoction of a TP-Link TL-WDR4900 and an AMD Radeon HD 7470 connected as an eGPU, KittenLabs managed to install Debian Linux and GTA: Vice City and it ran surprisingly well, as you can see in the video below. The story behind this classic gaming hack is very interesting. The TP-Link TL-WDR4900 Wi-Fi router was singled out for attention as it has a reputation for great performance (for its release date of 2013). Central to the router’s performance is an NXP/Freescale QorIQ P1014 CPU which KittenLabs explains is actually a PowerPC e500v2 32bit processor. Of course, even a powerful router doesn’t have a PC GPU-friendly PCIe slot, so some hackery was required to install an eGPU. KittenLabs designed a custom miniPCIe breakout PCB and attached it to the router after cutting PCIe traces leading from the CPU to one of the Atheros chipsets. This got them a working spare PCIe 2.0 interface. https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/retro-gaming/hardware-hacker-runs-gta-vice-city-on-a-router-with-a-little-help-from-an-egpu-and-debian-linux

The downside of digital ownership has reared its ugly head for enjoyers of Ubisoft's open-world multiplayer racer The Crew. The publisher has revoked its licence for those who owned it on Ubisoft Connect, almost destroying fan ambitions to revive the game in both an offline and online format. The Crew was pulled from sale back in December, with Ubisoft revealing that the servers would be shut down at the beginning of April. Frustratingly, despite a large portion of the game being doable in singleplayer, The Crew remained an online-only endeavour throughout its decade-long lifespan. That had already rendered the game unplayable, but it seems Ubisoft is determined to take things one step further to stamp out any attempts to continue playing it past its expiry date. Fans began to notice earlier in the week that the licence to the game had been snatched away from them. A message at the top of the game's library page reads, "You no longer have access to this game. Why not check the Store to pursue your adventures?" It's also been moved to its own individual section in player libraries, listed under "inactive games". Apparently booting the game directly from the installation directory will still launch the game, but only in a demo mode. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/racing/ubisoft-is-stripping-peoples-licences-for-the-crew-weeks-after-its-shutdown-nearly-squandering-hopes-of-private-servers-and-acting-as-a-stark-reminder-of-how-volatile-digital-ownership-is/

Bernanke and Blanchard have made another failed attempt to salvage establishment macroeconomics after the massive onslaught of adverse inflationary circumstances with which it could evidently not contend. hree years have passed since inflation began its surge in Spring 2021, which continued until early 2023. As the inflation rate has since begun a hesitant decline, the time has come to look back at and reflect on what has happened during these challenging years. A recent evaluation of the causes of U.S. pandemic inflation comes from Ben Bernanke and Olivier Blanchard (2023), who (in their own words) use a simple dynamic model of wage-price determination to explain the sharp acceleration in U.S. inflation during 2021-2023. The Bernanke and Blanchard model analysis provides a representative specimen of the approach taken by establishment economists to the recent inflationary crisis, as it includes everything important that is problematic about New Keynesian macroeconomics. Prominent central bankers, including Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell[1] and ECB President Christine Lagarde[2], take a rather different view when they state that their policy rate decisions, in these turbulent and uncertain times, are based on a data-driven approach, and not on standard macro models or monetary policy rules derived from these standard models. These central bankers are clear that standard macro models are of little use to them in the current macroeconomic environment that is particularly fluid economically and politically at domestic and global levels (Ferguson and Storm 2023). https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/bernanke-and-blanchards-obsession-with-the-wage-price-spiral

This gorgeous green Firebird was a witness to the end of the age of the muscle car. With collector-grade mileage and in nearly flawless condition, it's a time capsule—and a match for the hero car of a forgotten John Wayne movie filmed during the actor's own twilight era. The Bring a Trailer online auction ends on April 17. In the 1973 movie McQ, a 66-year-old John Wayne slouches onscreen with little of his former authoritative charisma. The laconic hero of many a western was ill suited to a hard-boiled detective flick, particularly one that seemed made to cash in on the success of Dirty Harry, released two years earlier. But the old Duke still had grit. And when he climbed behind the wheel of a dark green '73 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, no more fitting ride could have been picked. Up for auction today at Bring a Trailer (which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos) is a Brewster Green 1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 455 with the desirable four-speed manual transmission. Yes, this isn't the most famous screaming fire chicken of the breed; that'd be the Bandit's preferred ride. But as the last hurrah before the first of the 1970s fuel crises hit, it's a heck of a good-looking bookend to the age of muscle. This particular one is collector grade, painted its factory color, and showing 250 miles though true mileage unknown. Fitted with 15-inch Rally II style wheels, it has been thoroughly gone over by Restore a Muscle Car (RAMC) of Nebraska, a specialist shop that has handled plenty of Pontiacs, Bandit-style 1977 models among them. There's a brutish elegance to this era of Firebird. An SD-455 was tested by Car and Driver in May 1973 and was declared, with a certain amount of sadness, "the last of the fast cars." This 455 couldn't match the Super Duty's performance when stock, as its L75 7.4-liter engine was rated at just 250 horsepower when new. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a60487376/1973-pontiac-firebird-trans-am-455-bring-a-trailer-auction/

In exclusive archive BBC interviews the creators of the 90s TV series talk about their unique vision – and how the eccentric character at its centre, Special Agent Dale Cooper, was based on the director David Lynch's own personality. On 8 April 1990, Twin Peaks viewers were introduced to the brilliant but eccentric FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper, played by Kyle MacLachlan, who went on to win an Emmy for his performance. With his unfailing courtesy, unconventional but formidable investigative methods, obsessive love of cherry pie and "damn fine" coffee, and his habit of recording dictaphone messages to his unseen secretary, Diane, Agent Cooper quickly became one the decade's most beloved TV detectives. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20240404-twin-peaks-agent-cooper-tvs-strangest-detective

Cushendall Pulitzer prize-winning photojournalist Cathal McNaughton said he wanted to "scratch the surface" on a 2023 trip to Ukraine so people could "really see the results of war". "There aren't many soldiers, machinery or explosions featured but... you can see that war is never far away. "This is what life is like for the people of Ukraine." McNaughton won the Pulitzer in 2018 for his work covering the Rohingya refugee crisis in Bangladesh and Myanmar. His most recent work 'Searching for the Normal' is on display in Belfast Exposed. McNaughton hopes it will highlight the "new normal" for people in Ukraine face living on the frontline of conflict. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-68735037

Humans experience awe in the face of solar eclipses – but how do the other members of the animal kingdom feel when the day briefly turns to night? On very special occasions, when the conditions perfectly align, the Moon conceals the Sun and blackness sweeps across the sky. Although total solar eclipses only last for a few fleeting moments, they can have profound effects on humans, inspiring feelings of awe and wonder. But it's harder to predict how animals will respond when they are plunged into darkness in the daytime. Animals rely on a 24-hour biological clock, known as their circadian rhythms, to control daily behaviours such as sleeping, foraging and hunting. The way eclipses disrupt these ingrained routines is relatively unexplored, as cosmic events are such rare phenomena – occurring in any given place roughly once every 400 years – and also, because not all animals react the same. "[Light] is such a huge cue that affects everything from plants to animals. As biologists we can't turn off the Sun but every now and then, nature turns it off for us," says Cecilia Nilsson, a behavioural ecologist at Lund University in Sweden. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240405-solar-eclipse-2024-effect-on-animals

The Atletico Madrid loanee's acrobatic effort put Barca in front late in the first half and it proved enough to secure three points for the visitors. Victory leaves Xavi's side second, eight points behind leaders Real Madrid who earlier won 1-0 at Mallorca. The top two meet in El Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu next Sunday. With the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Paris St-Germain on Tuesday looming, Xavi made eight changes to the Barcelona side with three teenagers - Pau Cubarsi, Hector Fort and Vitor Roque - included in the starting XI. The changes led to a disjointed performance with few chances created in the first half prior to Joao Felix's moment of magic. After Marcos Alonso's corner looped up off the head of a Cadiz defender, the 24-year-old forward flung himself into the air for a bicycle kick and, despite the close attention of two defenders, found the bottom corner. Fermin Lopez nearly doubled the lead before the break but, with goalkeeper Conan Ledesma beaten, Victor Chust made a crucial goalline block. Barcelona had chances to cement the win in the second half but, having failed to convert them, Cadiz almost to made them pay when substitute Diadie Samassekou's thumping long-range strike drew a fantastic save from Marc-Andre ter Stegen. But the away side held on to start a hugely important week in their season with a victory, while Cadiz stay 18th, three points from safety. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/68809538

Even before the war in Gaza broke out, people in the besieged Palestinian territory had some of the world’s worst rates of mental illness. Israel and Egypt’s blockade of the Mediterranean strip is now 17 years old; a generation has grown up knowing nothing but cyclical escalation, a dire lack of public services and next to no freedom of movement. Research published by Save the Children in 2022 found that four out of five children in Gaza said they live with depression, grief and fear, and three in five were self harming. Since 7 October, the charity found that there has – unsurprisingly – been a dramatic deterioration in children’s mental health. “Children here have seen everything,” one father, Wasseem, told Save the Children researchers. “They’ve seen the bombs, the deaths, the bodies … We can’t pretend to them any more. Now, my son can even tell what types of explosives are falling.” According to Dr Samah Jabr, chair of the Hamas-run Palestinian ministry of health’s mental health unit, experiencing such horrors does not easily translate into the clinical definition of, or treatment for, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Tools for evaluating depression, such as the Beck inventory, do not account for circumstances in which anguish is a reasonable response. “If western society considers a car accident traumatic, can we use the same word for the level of atrocity happening in Gaza?” she said in an interview with the Observer. “The clinical description of PTSD captures the experience of, for example, a soldier who goes back home … Trauma in Palestine is collective and continuous. PTSD is when your mind is stuck in a traumatic loop. In Palestine, the loop is reality. The threat is still there. Hypervigilance, avoidance – these symptoms of PTSD are unhelpful to the soldier who went home, but for Palestinians, they can save your life. We see this more as ‘chronic’ traumatic stress disorder.” Jabr, 47, grew up in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem. Today, she is in charge of mental health provision across East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza. A well-known public speaker and writer on mental health and human rights, she did her first medical degree and clinical rotations during the second intifada, or Palestinian uprising, of the 2000s, which led to an interest in psychiatry and analytic psychotherapy. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/14/mental-health-palestine-children

Computers running Windows or Linux are vulnerable to a new type of firmware attack called LogoFAIL, according to a report from Ars Technica. This attack has proven to be extremely effective because it rewrites the logo that typically appears when the system boots after a successful POST (hence the name, "LogoFAIL"), which is early enough that it can bypass security measures designed to prevent bootkit attacks. The issue affects any motherboards using UEFI provided by Independent BIOS Vendors (IBVs). IBVs such as AMI, Insyde, and Phoenix will need to release UEFI patches to motherboard companies. Because of the way LogoFAIL overwrites the boot-up logo in the UEFI, the exploit can be executed on any platform using Intel, AMD, or ARM running any Windows operating system or Linux kernel. It works because of the way the rewriteable boot logo is executed when the system turns on. It affects both DIY and prebuilt systems with certain functions kept open by default. Mode of Attack The exploit was discovered by researchers at Binarly, who published their findings. The attack occurs when the 'Driver Execution Environment' (DXE) phase is underway after a successful POST. The DXE is responsible for loading up boot and runtime services, initiating the CPU, chipset, and other components in a correct sequence for the boot process to proceed. LogoFAIL replaces the UEFI boot-up logo with the exploit, which then loads during the DXE phase. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/motherboards/logofail-exploit-bypasses-hardware-and-software-security-measures-and-is-nearly-impossible-to-detect-or-remove

Amazon has been granted a patent for protecting gadgets such as smartphones and tablets from accidents by deploying miniature airbags and jets of air. The patent application was published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office last August, with Amazon having filed for it during the February of 2010, which was granted recently. The patent details a system that utilizes a gadget's built-in gyroscope, camera, accelerometers and other onboard sensors in order to determine if the device has entered an airborne state. If it has, the technology will change the trajectory of its fall, as well as releasing airbags to reduce potential damage. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/Amazon-Smartphones-Tablets-Patent-Airbag,19746.html

What would you do if given unchecked power? It’s a question for the ages, but here’s a better one. What if you were made, created even, to be given unchecked power? That’s one of the moral quandaries offered by Neuronet: Mendax Proxy, a visual-novel, narrative game title from Dream Harvest. And if you’re the kind of person who’s put off by a genre that doesn’t promise high-octane, no-holds-barred action, just give it a chance. Let’s dig into Neuronet: Mendax Proxy and find out why you should be giving this cyberpunk thriller a go. Story Neuronet: Mendax Proxy offers what we feel is a genuinely intriguing, unique premise. In most cyberpunk stories, the all-powerful AI that slowly becomes sentient is relegated to the background as a tool of the real villain or one in and of itself. When it’s ‘good’ or just ambiguous, we usually find out more based on how our actual protagonist interacts with them. https://www.pocketgamer.com/neuronet-mendax-proxy/review/
