This is an excellent, Dickensian level of coincidence. And they both come on stage in leather motorcycle jackets.
May this rivalry of -- what, cousins nth removed? -- bring us great new chips.
For AMD though, the software side is going to be important. OpenCL was a total bust, Cuda is king. They need to do something about that.
- klyrs 3y agoI had to look... she's wearing short-sleeved leather jacket. Not all leather jackets are motorcycle jackets. Wearing short-sleeved anything on a motorcycle is senseless.
- angry_octet 3y agoNo-one think Jensen is getting on a motorcycle, there is an implied motorcycle-style. And you can have short sleeve/ sleeveless motorcycle jackets, I've seen idiots wearing them many times.
- klyrs 3y agoI've seen people wearing short-sleeve t-shirts on their motorcycles too. That doesn't make them motorcycle shirts.
- aidenn0 3y agoIf this comment[1] is correct, they would be first cousins, once removed. Their closest common ancestor would be Huang's grandparents, which makes them first cousins, and they are one generation different from each other, when tracing from that ancestory, which makes them once removed. 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36164991 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36164991
