With Nvidia cards, I know that if I buy any Nvidia card made in the last 10 years, CUDA code will run on it. Period. (Yes, different language levels require newer hardware, but Nvidia docs are quite clear about which CUDA versions require which silicon.) I have an AMD Zen3 APU with a tiny Vega in it; I ought to be able to mess around with HIP with ~zero fuss.
The will-they-won't-they and the rapidly dropped support is hurting the otherwise excellent ROCm and HIP projects. There is a huge API surface to implement and it looks like they're making rapid gains.

You have to click on the "Radeon" tab for the commercial cards.
Yes, it's annoying that they only officially support Ubuntu 22.04 but it is official support and you can get other OSs and cards to work.
I'm not particularly optimistic that ecosystem support will ever pan out for AMD to be viable but this seems to be giving a bit too much credit to Nvidia for democratizing AI development, which is a stretch.
Second, you absolutely can run and fine tune many open source LLMs on one or more 3090s at a time..
But being able just to tinker, learn to write code, etc.. on a consumer GPU is a gateway to the more compute focused cards.
This is, obviously, way overdue and it might not be enough to let AMD get back into the race but
Where can you rent time on one? Traditionally, AMD has only helped build super computers, like Frontier and El Capitan, out of these cards.
This time around Azure [0] and other CSP's (cloud service providers) are working to change that. I will have the best of the best of their cards/systems for rent soon.

Case in point, OpenAI closed new signups because they couldn't keep up with demand and they literally have all the resources in the world to make things happen.
>The important thing to remember is don’t use possessive apostrophes with any pronouns, either possessive pronouns or possessive adjectives.
>If you see an apostrophe with a pronoun, it must be part of a contraction.
>its—possessive adjective of it
>it’s—contraction for “it is”
"its" would be correct in the root comment.
Otherwise someone oopsed and you can leave a dumb grammar comment on HN
You just managed to summarise why having conversations with strangers is so difficult on the internet these days.
Instead of considering that you were incorrect, even for a moment, you sought an article that you thought would confirm the ideas that you already had. Without even actually reading it, you used it as evidence that you were correct all along.
Even though the article very clearly illustrates that you were mistaken.
Fascinating.
The concept IS called possessive apostrophe and literally until this minute I wasn't aware that "it's" isn't grammatically correct when the "it" in the sentence is being used possessively. I didn't just find an article I thought agreed with me and fire it off, I thought "it's" was valid and riffic didn't know about possessive apostrophes (which again, I had wrong in this case). I didn't look for "it's" in the article because that wasn't up for debate in my mind (again, I can't stress this enough, I was wrong about the usage, any comment I've ever made uses "it's" in this case because that's how I thought it was used), I was just looking for the concept as a whole to link. I got a minor piece wrong and you want to lump me in with everyone who picks the first article that "agrees" with them.
I certainly don't think less of you specifically for doing this.
Thanks for being open to discussion, though!
You were entirely wrong.
I generally remember this bit of grammar as the apostrophe replacing the missing letters of the contraction (which is not needed for the possessive situation).
it's means it is or it has
