The wrong question is: if I don't have a GPU right now, why would I
study CUDA? The right question is: if I
have a GPU, what would I do
with it?
This is an interview question from Starbucks for high-position
leadership roles: If you have $1 billion today,
how would you spend
it? Most times, we tend to think and act based on the current
condition. This doesn't
take into account the proactiveness of being
an agent.
In reality, getting a GPU is relatively easy; it just costs some
money. The real difficult question is: how would
I use a GPU to build
a better product? Once we find the answer to the latter question, the
former GPU
problem is easy to solve.
The same applies to startups. The fundraising problem is relatively
simple. The hard part is to have a vision
and understanding for
building the product.
