Sure, but you can make money in the field and retire faster than it becomes irrelevant. FWIW none of the ideas here are novel or nontransferable–it's just the specific design that is proprietary. Understanding how to do an AllReduce has been of theoretical interest for decades and will probably remain worth doing far into the future.
- j45 1y agoTech is always like this. You move from one thing to the next. With your transferable skills, experience and thinking that is beyond one programming language. Even Apple is simply exporting to CUDA now.
- victor106 1y ago> Even Apple is simply exporting to CUDA now. Really!!! Any resources you can share?
- j45 1y agoIt’s one way but still something. https://9to5mac.com/2025/07/15/apples-machine-learning-framework-is-getting-support-for-nvidia-gpus/ https://9to5mac.com/2025/07/15/apples-machine-learning-frame...
- almostgotcaught 1y ago> Even Apple is simply exporting to CUDA now. This is like when journalists write clickbait article titles by omitting all qualifiers (eg "states banning fluoride" when it's only some states). One framework added a CUDA backend. You think all of Apple uses only one framework? Further what makes you think this even gets internal use?
- j45 1y agoI didnt say any of those things at all. Only that Apple not only might use CUDA internally but made a public release available too. CUDA seems to be a trigger word in this thread for some. https://9to5mac.com/2025/07/15/apples-machine-learning-framework-is-getting-support-for-nvidia-gpus/ https://9to5mac.com/2025/07/15/apples-machine-learning-frame...
- almostgotcaught 1y ago> I didnt say any of those things at all. what does this sentence mean? > Apple is simply exporting to CUDA now.
- tverbeure 1y agoMy takeaway was definitely not that all of Apple is using only one framework.
- almostgotcaught 1y agothen please enlighten me: what does the sentence mean?
- dang 1y agoCan you please stop posting in the cross-examining, flamewar style? It's not what this site is for. We want people to learn from each other here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- almostgotcaught 1y agowhat exactly is the acceptable style of discourse here then? purely exultant tropes and clickbait i guess.
- dang 1y agoDoes https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html not answer that? There are plenty of acceptable styles. The guidelines don't insist on only one style.
