I understand this sort of articles are for entertainment and are meant to be relatable, but this one is pretty ridiculous, what does "started in a Denny's" even mean? did Nvidia's founder teach himself electrical engineering while he was waiting tables at Denny's or something. Next time I start something I'm only talking about it at el pollo loco.
- mastax 3y agoEveryone's been to a Denny's*. It's humble and relatable. * Please do not respond that you haven't been to a Denny's. It is a figure of speech called hyperbole.

- sublinear 3y agoI won't directly say it, but are you calling people snobs for never eating at Denny's?
- pezezin 3y agoSnobs, or from different countries. Like, I don't even think Denny's exists in Europe.

- akiselev 3y agoJensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem were eating at a Denny's one night - because it's literally the only place open at 10 pm in the Bay Area - when Jensen bit onto a piece of silica sand that had made it into his Grand Slam Breakfast and very painfully chipped his tooth. His yelled "GPUUUUUUUU" in pain, and NVIDIA was born. Instead of a bill, the waiter brought them the prefilled incorporation documents and on the way out the door, the hostess handed them their seed round.
- qup 3y agoWhat became of the hostess?
- akiselev 3y agoOriginally, Malachowsky said in an interview that he thought she was an agent of the Sand Hill Road cult, carefully placed at a known Silicon Valley nexus of innovation ley lines (again, because Denny's is the only place open late). However, after six months of exhaustive searching and $20 million spent on seances and psychics in preparation for IPO, several hundred Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan agents failed to locate her despite a dozen McKinsey partners sacrificing a truckload of silicon wafers at the fiscal solstice. Some believe her to be an incarnation of Calafia, the ancient queen of California. Other suspect she is the personification of the pay-it-forward spirit of Silicon Valley. Others still believe she was a demon sent to destroy ATI or bring on the dark age of thinking machines. We will never know.

- c7DJTLrn 3y agoI heard that Jensen actually saw one of the cooks take the fries out of the frier and remembered that the British called them chips, spurring an inspiration to create a new kind of chips.
