Yeah until Netflix adds tiered pricing for content and you end up paying more than what Netflix + HBO Max together would have cost because Netflix is the only game in town for that content.. I think like all media consolidation this will se

This is such a weird take. In an online multiplayer game the cheaters are the risk to the company's bottom line. If a game is rampant with cheaters, honest paying players stop showing up, and less new players sign up. The relatively s

Alright then, sounds like you've got it all figured out.

Totally fair, I agree with your take on the blog post for sure.

Honest question: given all the companies and people working on anti-cheat systems for the last 20+ years of multiplayer video games, don't you think it would all be server-side if it could be, by now?

For sure, I did not mean to imply they could do it quickly or easily, but I have to assume that internally at Nvidia there's already work happening to figure out "can we make chips that are better for AI and cheaper/easier to

A question I don't see addressed in all these articles: what prevents Nvidia from doing the same thing and iterating on their more general-purpose GPU towards a more focused TPU-like chip as well, if that turns out to be what the mark

I'm so mad about this, I need DDR5 for a new mini-PC I bought and prices have literally gone up by 2.5x.. 128GB used to be 400$ in June, and now it's over $1,000 for the same 2x64GB set.. I have no idea if/when prices will co

Huh, I had not connected those (hypothetical) dots, but I could see it.. Or maybe there's 2 next-gen Steam Decks, an ultra-portable ARM-based one that's as small as can be, and a more performant x86 one with AMD's next-gen AP

I've taken pay cuts twice in my career, but both times it was at unfunded startups and it was more of a "we'll get you back for this later" (one did, one did not). I worry that normalizing the idea that a company can mak
