Still, weird to hear the "everyone who actually has to make these decisions, the ones that know that" continue to make expensive suboptimal choices.
To each their own, I guess.
- sigmoid10 3y agoThey are optimal in the overall sense, because flops per dollar is not everything in the real world. Though I can see why many people outside the field would think so, since that is what manufacturers write in big letters on their marketing brochures.
- DiabloD3 3y agoYou are partially right. Flops isn't everything, its just a major component of your capex and/or opex if you rely on enterprise compute for the majority of what you do (ie, machine learning). The cost of doing business that isn't flops is the realm of developer time. Nvidia tooling is where developer time goes to die. People who keep claiming Nvidia's tooling is great for developers and easy to use is someone who has a skill mismatch for the industry, or worse, someone trying to sell you something.
