CUDA for AMD on Windows

GitHub project 'CUDA for AMD on Windows' trends on Hacker News, aiming to run CUDA workloads on AMD GPUs under Windows.

A GitHub repository named CUDA-for-AMD-Windows drew 45 points and 5 comments on Hacker News. The project targets making NVIDIA's CUDA software stack work on AMD GPUs under Windows, which matters to developers running GPU compute or inference on non-NVIDIA hardware. No security impact is described.

Ask HN: How do you manage skills files?

A Hacker News thread debates whether agent skill files are worth managing, citing 2–4x output-token reductions on flagship models in one company's testing.

Commenters argue skills are stored prompts that help less-technical users compensate for weak prompting, while one participant reports company testing found skills reduce flagship-model output tokens by roughly 2–4x, a gap growing with newer models. Others note skills can bundle reusable scripts and inline commands for deterministic context building, and that harnesses now execute backticked commands before the agent sees the skill. Some argue improving model capability makes downloadable skills redundant.
