alt Hacker NewsSorry, what hard decisions did Jensen make, exactly? "Hey team, I'm going to make the tough decision here to propose that next year's GPU is faster than last years"?
Do you know for sure that Jensen personally was involved in recruiting Ian Buck and starting up the CUDA project? A project that's largely attributed to John Nickolls? What other major decisions did Nvidia even make over the last, say, 15 years?

Okay, but why doesn't AMD have a CUDA equivalent in quality? Luck?

The decision to support CUDA and include it in retail GPUs so that he could create a massive installed base, even in the face of criticism and loss of stock value, for years. Sort of like Tesla building superchargers to cause BEVs to become viable.
