    Jensen : Nobody needs to code anymore...

    Programmer: OpenDLSS...

    Jensen : Wait. Not like that! (╯°□°)╯︵┻━┻

      But I thought Nvidia “loves open source” (they don’t) and they are now a supporter for open source and open weight models by acquiring Huggingface? (They don’t actually care)

      But the line is drawn when it involves CUDA and any part of their closed source compilers (nvcc).

      There are obvious reasons why they are closed source, but it’s becoming pointless since Deepseek have open sourced their AI compiler and compute libraries with DeepGEMM and eventually they will catch up.

        They don't. I got threatened with a lawsuit after I suggested (submitted patches) they fix some of their buggy kernel code.
