After about 3 days of work, I got DLSS to work on NVK (the open source NVIDIA driver in Mesa)! 🎉 DLSS is essentially just some launched Cuda kernels, so it was just a matter of implementing the VK_NVX_binary_import and VK_NVX_image_view_handle extensions. 1/5 (Control, 960x540 -> 1920x1080)

ah yeah the familiar whiplash of seeing a legacy media org cover something you're an actual expert in and realizing "oh if this is how badly they're fucking up this, how badly are they fucking up every other topic?"

the lidl candy creme mini bars are soooo much better than real milky ways. just tried a real milky way again recently and it was just awful, the nougat is wayyy too sweet and grainy with shit chocolate. just get the off brand lidl ones. they're just 200x better.

devicetree makes me cry. i hope it dies and goes away someday and nobody ever has to suffer again.
