Fully understandable..anyways none is doing ML on Apple hardware due to ATi Chipsets.. last Apple HW with Nvidia graphic cards are old or running Linux or Windows with Bootcamp anyways
In my understanding, Radeon Instinct cards are not doing that bad. Yes, they're not supported by CUDA, but they're not slouching either.

Why would you do anything compute intensive on laptops that suffer from cooling issues?
Why make such a broad statement at all? There are laptops for nearly every need - yes there are some which will throttle very quickly and are only good for light work, but there are laptops in every size that have decent enough cooling that they can run at max load 24/7 without any issues. As to why someone would do this - can you really not think of a single reason?
Submitted title was "Nvidia drops support for CUDA on macOS". We changed that for a while to "CUDA 10.2 is the last release to support macOS", which is language from the article itself. Since then someone emailed and asked why the title was like that in light of the discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21617016 , so I've reverted to the article's title. Edit: If the article were more a burying the lede…
This summarizes it well.

So, you are aguing that NVidia constantly messing up when Apple have used them in good faith as a supplier, followed by the subsequent denial of problems even existing by NVIdia and their refusal to accept any culpability (see Bumpgate), is "a very one-sided take" and eschew it in the belief that this is all about pushing Metal? That seems like the very narrowly held view to me. Perhaps they are thinking the way you…
Nearly a decade has passed since nVidia messed up one generation of laptops so probably it's time to let it go. Grudges don't really help anyone, and Apple's so far from innocent they shouldn't promote grudges as solutions to problems, especially as alternatives to consumer-friendly hardware support. In much more recent times Apple themselves ruined four generations of laptops and were deceptive and dishonest about i…
Your second paragraph, while containing the seed of facts, is total hyperbole. It certainly isn’t worse than refusing to acknowledge anything was wrong and then refusing to pay for the repairs! This is precisely what NVidia did. At least Apple repaired the keyboards!
Your last paragraph is the usual trite rhetoric to anything that can be deemed ‘pro Apple’. Both items have been addressed by Apple (https://www.apple.com/uk/supplier-responsibility/) albeit after pressure, and they are continuing to apply pressure and drop suppliers that don’t meet their requirements.
