John Carmack Gets GPU Help

I was excited to realize that I could use custom data strides in PyTorch to make overlapped sequence histories without duplicating any memory, but while it works on cpu, gpu gives CUDA error: CUBLAS_STATUS_INVALID_VALUE when calling cublasSgemm. Hey John, DM me and let’s see how we can help #nvidiadeveloper_relations

John Carmack posts a highly technical complaint about a CUDA error in PyTorch, and Richard Kerris replies by offering help from NVIDIA developer relations. The joke is that even an expert programmer’s complex GPU problem becomes an opportunity for a corporate support team to reach out. It is used as a reaction to technical frustration, especially when a company notices someone struggling with its product.
