       made a girl swoon by describing the design and implementation of alpine to them earlier tonight 😵‍💫

       unfortunately, intrigued as they are, they have an nvidia GPU and thus I advised them to stick to a GNU/Linux instead

       @ariadne How long until NVK and Nova leave the proprietary drivers in the dust?

       @ariadne I was not aware LLMs were paying for those projects.  Also, for some reason I thought Valve was involved.

       @ariadne Sometimes I wonder how nvidia hasn't made their stuff works on musl yet when they support pretty niche Unix systems but well I guess the vast majority that are using musl either strongly avoid proprietary software and/or nvidia GPUs aren't in the picture because they're something like router vendors.

       @ariadne In particular, NVK has no relation to CUDA at all.  And Nvidia wasn’t that happy about Nova being in Rust because it meant they could not backport it to outdated “enterprise” kernels easily.

       @alwayscurious I'm sure that there are other funding streams but there is a lot of interest in NVK because of Vulkan compute.

       @ariadne Are any AI workloads that Nvidia cares about using Vulkan compute?  I thought Nvidia would want to discourage Vulkan compute, as it helps their competitors.

       @alwayscurious the $ isn't coming from nvidia, but AI companies which want a vendor-neutral solution

       @ariadne Oh, that makes sense!
