zero cost abstractions exist. doesn't mean all abstractions are zero-cost. or being zero-cost somehow invalidates their abstractness/genericness. but maybe we differ on the definition of abstractions.
So does perpetual motion :shrug: but my point is Triton is not an abstraction in the least. Source: 1) I spent 6 months investigating targeting other backends 2) Phil himself said he doesn't care to support other backends https://github.com/openai/triton/pull/1797#issuecomment-1730...
It's amazing how heavily provided hn is. I have a response here that's been deleted that is like 15 words, including a link to source that corroborates my claim but that response contains a transcribed emoji and so it's been deleted by dang or whomever. Lol super rich environment for discourse we've got going here.
