No nvidia makes great tooling. Like as a startup if I had to pick a development tool AmD fails repeatedly while nvida tooling is like matlab level of usefulness

Those companies have money to make ‘nice’ things which open source software doesn’t have the time to do.
For 100m you could probably make some pretty sweet clones if amd is hiring anybody to man that position.
- xzel 2y agoI’m not sure if I’m in the minority here but Matlab levels of tooling is an insult. Their guides were always two or three steps before being useful. Just enough to make you think whatever they were selling would solve your problems but never enough when really building a solution.

- cosentiyes 2y ago> matlab level of usefulness that's a little harsh :D
- Dalewyn 2y ago>Those companies have money to make ‘nice’ things which open source software doesn’t have the time to do. I would posit it's a lack of will rather than time.
- lmpdev 2y agoMoreso lack of will to effectively mass organise Thousands of OSS devs would be willing to devote serious time to it, but can’t/won’t run the gauntlet of starting such a ludicrously large project from scratch It’s easy to contribute, difficult to be the one organising the contributions A real “where do I even begin” problem
- eightysixfour 2y agoI don’t understand what you are disagreeing with. Nvidia makes software that induces demand for their products. Sometimes that software is a tool, or a platform, or an ML model, or foundational research on algorithms.
