Article note: Oh look, an AMD accelerator architecture with no widely adopted programming system, several generations of false start abandoned tooling, and a programing model that is thesis-getting to figure out even narrowly (and apparently incompletely because there's nothing obvious about managing memory or execution latency, and the platform is full of it). Surely someday they'll have a product that doesn't describe.

Article note: That's quite the trajectory. The "I demand an immediate personalized answer to my specific question, even if it's merely a mis-phrased version of a question answered correctly and authoritatively in an easy to find location" vs. "Trying to build a knowledge base of quality reference material" tension of ...the web... has always been interesting. It also hits the "LLMs trained on the predecessor platforms full of human experts, what do they do now that they've killed most of the platforms with human data" problem head on.
