Who else is there… AMD?
Yes?
NVDA is 82% of the market and rising.

#25>The Autoverse is an artificial life simulator based on a cellular automaton complex enough to represent the substratum of an artificial chemistry. It is deterministic, internally consistent and vaguely resembles real chemistry. Tiny environments, simulated in the Autoverse and filled with populations of a simple, designed lifeform, Autobacterium lamberti, are maintained by a community of enthusiasts obsessed with getting A. lamberti to evolve, something the Autoverse chemistry seems to make extremely difficult.

Also Intel. Being Nvidia-only is not very good from an accessibility point-of-view. It means that only ML researchers and about 60% of gamers can run this.
Thankfully it's a specialist software package not aimed at gamers or ML researchers.

I read that a few years ago, probably because it was recommended here on HN. Absolutely wild book.

#29Looks like Conway's game of life next generation.
Definitely a kind of cellular automata, I like seeing a different version of that than Game of Life.
