Idk how you're defining "robust competition", but NVIDIA and CUDA definitely rule the GPU computing space right now, at least judging from a biased sample of what I read online. Those who experienced computing in the 1990s and 2000s know of the harmful effects that result when proprietary tech stacks become de facto monopolies. Think Adobe Flash, think Microsoft's "embrace/extend/extinguish" strategy. Perhaps antitrust law needs rework if it can't deal with this kind of monopoly.

That's because CUDA had been better than alternatives for quite a while. But ROCm and MLX exist, and they are rapidly advancing. Google has its own chips, as does AWS.

There are also no signs of NVidia colluding against other manufacturers. For example, AMD's MI350[P] are all sold out for the next year or so.

I just don't see NVidia becoming the next MS circa year two thousand.


Good luck getting hundreds of millions of people to act in concert.


I'd even describe these as some of the most gullible and less ethically principled people at that.


We aren’t taking about Android developers here.


Xor isn't Turing complete sadly.


The only thing missing is the goto right?


It's not UB. Integer promotion applies, the signed int is implicitly coerced to unsigned (or the other way around - don't remember which.)


Yeesh, one illegal move attempt means you just lose? That's harsh...


Javascript/PCRE/etc regexes have additional features (like backreferences) that give them strictly more computational power than a regular DFA/NFA. (Still not Turing complete though without external control flow to support arbitrary iteration/recursion, like is done here)


So it is NP (in fact P)


We Americans can't understand ourselves either.


Right wing anti-environmentalist political statement.


Updated nginx on all my company's VMs as soon as I found out about this
