Stuff like tinygrad will change this. Geohot already made nvidia run on macs via thunderbolt.

The bottleneck in training and inference isn’t matmul, and once a chip isn’t a kindergarten toy you don’t go from FPGA to tape out by clicking a button. For local memory he’s going to have to learn to either stack DRAM (not “3000 lines of verilog” and requires a supply chain which openai just destroyed) or diffuse block RAM / SRAM like Groq which is astronomically expensive bit for bit and torpedoes yields, compounding the issue. Then comes interconnect.

This guy has the greatest dunning-kruger of all time. Lots of smoke and mirrors.

There's this curious experience of people bringing up geohot / tinygrad and you can tell they've been sold into a personality cult.

I don't mean that pejoratively, I apologize for the bluntness. It's just I've been dealing with his nonsense since iPhone OS 1.0 x jailbreaking, and I hate seeing people taken advantage of.

(nvidia x macs x thunderbolt has been a thing for years and years and years, well before geohot) (tweet is non-sequitor beyond bogstandard geohot tells: odd obsession with LoC, and we're 2 years away from Changing The Game, just like we were 2 years ago)
