I've talked with him about those days... Though I haven't chatted with him about Go since AlphaGo flipped the whole world over. I worked very hard on pulling the same trick at Sony. We'd made Vegas scriptable, and, once it was part of Bapco's Sysmark, we received immense support from chip vendors. Machines, engineers, tools, instructions added to instruction sets... It was a nutty time. Of course, the biggest wins worked everywhere, like the 6755399441055744 single precision rounding trick, or the use of memory mapped file regions to cache the rendering tree. Still, becoming part of a performance benchmark is a great way to get attention.
