AI directly threatens and can enhance revenue for companies like Google and Meta, so it makes sense for them to invest in those areas. It's relevant for user segmentation, ad targeting, content creation/user engagement, and even s

I had the same thoughts as much as 2 years ago on how this will play out. Unlike with railroads and fiber optic cable however, the core infrastructural asset of GPUs tends to become rapidly obsolete after about 5 years. Commoditization of t

Most free versions of things are not as good as paid. But it doesn't matter for many areas. Sometimes the free stuff will get better than the common paid one (linux and blender come to mind). Sometimes it takes time (Blender), but if t

I just bought a bunch of these and a reflow soldering gun. The real bottleneck is getting custom pcbs made. The best companies that do this are in China and soon will be tarrifed

One thing I want to point out about software is that its perpetually commoditized. Any piece of valuable software will get a free version after some amount of time. It happened to compilers, operating systems, and renderer. It's gradua

I never majored in engineering, but I just got into PCB designing with KiCad. The price of getting custom PCBs from China plummeted in the past decade, but just now exploded in price due to tariffs. Nuts! Would be a great opportunity for a

You can have really massive growth in markets along with massively wide inequality at the same time among the human population. You can also now (for the first time in global history) have laws of supply and demand start to service non-huma

I just started learning KiCad and PCB design this month as a larf, and I was wondering if anyone has tried making a full original Gameboy PCB and open sourcing it?

Thanks for this heads up. This will be useful information for other people with the same idea I had.

I think Nvidia's market development efforts have meant more than its culture. Ever since Nvidia started moving towards general purpose compute with the 8800 GPU back in the mid 2000s, it's been actively growing markets - first in

To think the entire company could have failed multiple times in the 90s if not for Sega's CEO bailing Nvidia out after Sega fucked up the Dreamcast contract. And even if Nvidia had won that contract, the Dreamcast ultimately failed. Nv

The overfishing altered the allele frequencies of certain genes. Actually directly altering the genes would have to involve mutation or direct engineering which is a bit more involved. I think a good way to think about this is with human dw

25 years ago a team of devs from around the world led by part time game developer and full time automotive painter Herbert Flower flew to Valve HQ to make the game "Gunman Chronicles". The creator of the game reflects on what went

I think this is an OK argument, but it assumes that in a magical world where universities ceased to exist, the alternative would actually be less costly. Remember, universities have fulfilled different societal roles over time. In the US th

If this is what many people perceive, it does not actually align with what is going on in the United States today. What's actually happening is that most of the wealth and tax revenue is generated by the coastal metropolitan areas of t
