I see you’ve chosen not to reply to this question so FYI this article was not AI generated in any way.

Thank you! I had no idea. By the way, the post definitely isn't AI—whether it's 'slop' is a matter of opinion, of course.

I’m genuinely interested in why you think this particular post is ‘AI slop’.

Mystified as to why NDR (German TV station) would have wanted to record an English language performance of this sketch in 1963. Would they not have preferred a German version? Was there a lot of English language TV being broadcast in German

Kudos to Brian Potter for getting hold of a copy of Chang’s biography and translating it (with some machine assistance) himself!

Hello Tae and thanks for a terrific book! My comment only compared Elon and Jensen, not Isaacson's book and yours. I completely understand that you had a different set of objectives and you did a fantastic job in setting out what makes

Fair comment. I'm in the middle of reading the Isaacson Musk bio so maybe the contrast between the two made me think of Jensen as shy and retiring.

That's a good list. I'd also add a willingness to take risks, which was particularly evident in the early years with RIVA 128 but also arguably CUDA was a risk and one that didn't pay off until relatively recently.

I guess it just shows that Jensen has had a (perhaps admirably) low profile until recently.

I think that the blocking of the deal by competition authorities shows the potential benefits of the deal (for Nvidia) in having control of Arm, in addition to making Arm-based SoCs, were real. Also, Rene Haas (ex Nvidia) became CEO of Arm

AMD doesn’t just have to fix these issues it has to build up a record of fixing issues like those discussed here. Otherwise who will bet their firm / cash / career on new hardware without a successful track record.

No, the parent comment is correct (on the relative fees at least). Qualcomm wants to sell Nuvia-derived cores under its own ALA at a lower fee than Nuvia would have had to pay (which makes sense as server cores cost more than smartphone cor
