Apple's MLX adding CUDA support

Now do linux support / drivers for Mac hardware!

Seriously. Those Apple guys became delusional especially after Jobs passed away. These guys just sat on their successes and did nothing for a decade plus. M1 was nice but that was all Jobs doing and planning. I don’t like this Apple. They forgot how to innovate.

But I guess we have a VR device nobody wants.

It would be funny if you were typing out your response on an iPhone that has been running for 36 hours without recharging.

if only their batteries would last that long.

> M1 was nice but that was all Jobs doing and planning

M1 was launched 9 years after Jobs died. You're saying they had everything ready to go back then and just sat on their asses for a decade?

Who bought Semi? Jobs knew they had to make their own. M1 is just a product of their iPhone chips hence all the efficiency.

I think we're seeing the twilight of those efforts. Asahi Linux was an absolute powerhouse of reverse-engineering prowess, and it took years to get decent Vulkan coverage and half of the modern lineup's GPUs supported. Meanwhile AMD and even Intel are shipping Vulkan 1.3 drivers day-one on new hardware. It's a cool enthusiast effort to extend the longevity of the hardware, but it bears repeating; nobody is disrupting Nvidia's bottom-line here. Apple doesn't sell hardware competitive with Nvidia's datacenter hardware, and even if they did it's not supported by the community. It's doubtful that Apple would make any attempt to help them.

There seems to a pervading assumption that Apple is still making a VolksComputer in 2025, blithely supporting a freer status-quo for computing. They laid out their priorities completely with Apple Silicon, you're either on Apple's side or falling behind. Just the way they want it.

Ok, but did you ever think about PA Semi being the Alpha guys? Maybe the DEC leadership deserves credit for M1

Jobs knew they had to make their own chips, and in your mind that constitutes "all the doing and planning"?

Unless one constantly browses Instagram or TikTok, they do.

I said “[Jobs’] doing and planning” whereas you make it sound like Semi and M1 have nothing to do with Jobs. Apple has M1 because Jobs had a vision. Tell me one thing Apple did since Jobs’ passing that show such a vision. Maybe Watch? Hardly ground breaking. VR? ‘nuff said.

> Seriously. Those Apple guys became delusional especially after Jobs passed away.

Didn't Jobs himself essentially die of delusion?
