Azure/AWS is cloud/B2B, AAPL/FB are B2C consumer goods/services. Different customers, different industries. There is some overlap, but moat is in other places. AMD/NVIDIA are in same business as Intel and have same

His comment has nothing to do with quality of software or quality of support, but is about dealing with NVidia. Trying to work with NVidia (as a hardware manufacturer) must have been frustrating, but that has nothing to do with quality of t

Oh, poor multi billion company. We should buy its product with poor value, just to make it feel better. Intel had money and decades of integrated GPU experience. Any new entrant to the market must justify the value to the buyer. Intel didn&

He was CEO. Chief executing officer. It's literally his job to execute, i.e. fix that stuff/ensure it doesn't happen. Get them out of Russia, poach new devs, have a backup team, delay the product (i.e. no HVM until good dri

> ..open source AI tooling for it will start sprouting... AMD has tried this for many of its technologies and I don't think it is working. Granted, they suck at open sourcing, but a shitload of it was open sourced. See TinyGrad voya

He failed on GPU. The product was substandard. That means either he knew and allowed it to happen, which is bad, or he didn't know and allowed GPU division to squander the resources, which is even worse. Either way, it was an adventure

> The industry has come a long way in the intervening 30 years. Didn't Intel screw up design recently? Oxidation and degradation of ring bus IIRC.

This is not a board where you put resistors, capacitors and ICs on a substrate. These are chip layouts used for fabbing chips. I don't think you will find many open source designs. EDAs works closely with foundries (TSMC, Samsung, Glob

Consequences never stopped anyone. Your example with yt-dl doesn't matter. Open source/free software inherently relies on copyright and all state legal infrastructure. Once you operate outside, it's no longer open source&#x2F

In days of LLM, 99 out of 100 users are likely bots. That is probably also true for bluesky. Like it or hate it, spending money is about the only semi-reliable defense against boting.

We are not oblivious. We are powerless. Oracle could go toe to toe with Google and threaten multibillion fines over basically API and 11kLOC. As a open source developer, there is no way to match that.
