    • AJB: can netlink be plumbed into normal ethernet devices

    • AJB: any thoughts on on virtio-gpu

      • AB: fundamentally it’s HW specific

      • AJB: doesn’t OpenCL abstract things?

      • AB: lots of layers with trade offs

      • AB: virtio-gpu should work for a lot of the NPU abstractions
