When it comes to Google's success, another founder's experience, knowledge, other business competitiveness contributed most.

Ah, most of b-guys are uncompetitive and make money by just being in already lucrative businesses. That's why there are solutions with Microsoft technologies.

Where are these significant cheaper cloud vendors?

Oracle. I like bare-bone ARM VM and bare-bone volumes.

Spoil from incompetents is the good strategy and all too much nerd engineers should follow the strategy.

It's OK. The revenue is from incompetencies of engineers and enterprises that can not switch into siginificantly cheaper cloud vendors.

If is is a vendor work, you should probably hire person who are competitive in software engineering space. And do we actually need significant amount of processing as a solution? If this is the case, common markdowned public pdfs should be open-sourced. We shouldn't repeat other's work.

Despite that, cheaper is better.

Seems good tool for automated PowerPoint generation but I believe the content is much more important.

So why not automate the attachment of images to concentrate on the more important tasks? I hope the code will be available soon!

eichi commented on DeepSeek's AI breakthrough bypasses industry-standard CUDA, uses PTX   tomshardware.com/tech-ind... · Posted by u/pseudolus

Haha, what a shoddy headline. "Bypasses" and "industry-standard" have no place here.

CUDA is not an industry standard. Vulcan is an industry standard. They did not bypass CUDA... that's like saying if I use Vulcan I'm bypassing OpenGL. PTX is an alternative low level API provided by Nvidia because of how awful CUDA is for high performance code.

What DeepSeek wrote could only have either been written in PTX or Vulcan.

Any other company could have done this, and low latency traders on Wall Street that use Nvidia write their stuff in PTX for obvious reasons.

OpenAI, was, is, and always will be, absolutely incompetent when it comes to using their hardware effectively... and they're no different than any other company. Reading is not a goddamned super power! Just read the docs!

I like this kind of geeky poetical comment while I'm not certain whether it is true or not.

And only needed when the product is good and company's size scaled.
