npub1ynlz3qpjg3zsmskuy80hmy6vgv5kht4kugld9mvd36fxuy8kgm9qf9873s (npub1ynl…873s) The whole CUDA thing makes me mad to this day, especially the way NVIDIA went about it. They waited until numerous scientists and engineers had done the free work of implementing CUDA routines in their code, which helped establish CUDA, then suddenly banned "gaming class" cards in the datacenter, jacking the price for this type of work up an order of magnitude or two.
I still remember seeing email lists of scientific software with PIs cursing NVIDIA out for it. Rightly so. I still hate them.
(full disclosure: I worked for AMD for like three months during this past year, but I despised NVIDIA's actions long before that)
