What are some actually good resources to learn this stuff?
https://siboehm.com/articles/22/CUDA-MMM is a good start.
Programming Massively Parallel Processors: A Hands-on Approach by David Kirk and Wen-mei Hwu.
there are a thousand excellent CUDA programming courses/sites.
none of what was mentioned in this blog post is news if you've ever had more than 2 hours of a CUDA course...
I answered that recently here: https://old.reddit.com/r/GraphicsProgramming/comments/1fpi2c...
