Maybe I'm naive but there seems to be way too much financial incentive in this space for CUDA to continue to be the top dog. Just like microprocessors, these devices are going to get commodified, standardized, open sourced, etc. Nvidia making massive profits is a sign of huge market inefficiency and potential opportunities for competition.

Yep, but just as the first reading glasses were only available to the wealthy, and now anyone can have them, the inefficiency takes time to work out. It'll take a long time, especially given how vertically integrated Nvidia are.
- Obscurity4340 2y agoHow could people who actually like NEEDED glasses be productive or get around without them prior to glasses being developed and commodified?
- robertlagrant 2y ago> who actually like NEEDED glasses I don't understand this phrasing - are you implying I'm not aware of these people? People...had bad eyesight before. Now they have bad eyesight with corrective lenses.
- satvikpendem 2y agoBad eyesight, especially myopia, was much rarer than today, with the leading hypothesis being that not enough sunlight exposure over one's growing years leads to it.
- __loam 2y agoWeird analogy considering alternatives already exist in this case, it's just a matter of making projects like opencl or metal better.
- robertlagrant 2y agoWhy is that a weird analogy given alternatives exist? Were there no alternatives to a single glasses manufacturer or something?
