From the ARCHITECTURE.md:

> Those pointers point to undocumented functions forming CUDA Dark API. It's impossible to tell how many of them exist, but debugging experience suggests there are tens of function pointers across tens of tables. A typical application will use one or two most common. Due to they undocumented nature they are exclusively used by Runtime API and NVIDIA libraries (and in by CUDA applications in turn). We don't have names of those functions nor names or types of the arguments. This makes implementing them time-consuming. Dark API functions are are reverse-engineered and implemented by ZLUDA on case-by-case basis once we observe an application making use of it.

I know that Lina doesn't like a lot of the attention HN sends her way so it may be better if you don't link her socials here.

Sounds ridiculous, why have a public presence on a social network then?

oh. I think the emphasis is on hacker news.

you know certain social media sites contain certain toxic conversants.

IIRC, it's not that she doesn't like the attention to her work, it's that she doesn't like how quickly conversations get derailed by things that have nothing to do with the work.

HN isn't very toxic. You must be confusing it with another social media site.

If anything, the Asahi devs are the ones acting out.

yes, but the difference between flys gathering at shit and bees to honey.

She's gotten a fair amount of unwanted attention from HN specifically, guys trying to dox her and stirring rumours about her. Like just mean-spirited stuff, and if you or I had experienced this then we'd likely feel the same animosity towards HN.
