I’ve spent the last month deep in GPU driver/compiler world and -

AMD or Apple (Metal) or someone (I haven’t tried Intel’s stuff) just needs to have a single guide to installing a driver and compiler that doesn’t segfault if you look at it wrong, and they would sweep the R&D mindshare.

It is insane how bad CUDA is; it’s even more insane how bad their competitors are.

If you work in hardware and are interested in solving this lemme say this

There are billions of dollars waiting for the first person to get this right. The only reason I haven’t jumped on this myself is a lack of familiarity with drivers.
