Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Very true. I think one of the possible low-key outcomes of the bubble is a rise both in open-source driver hacking and manufacture-on-demand PCBs to accommodate what would otherwise be high-dollar e-waste.
isn't openai silicon breaking all the time because it's so overheated? so they have to replace it a lot of the time? maybe it's only good for some months
Or their cooling design stinks, or they/Nvidia are just telling the fab we don't care about yields, just send us everything that powers on and we'll figure out which ones are good in production
it's sorta impressive that they're treating their hardware worse than cryptobros then
basically. Nvidia sometimes has off years, where a processor generation doesn't work out. Unfortunately, this one's coincided with a stupid bubble. So they're shoving out number cruncher cards which are at the limits of what you can do with stacking up the previous generation of chips, and the cards are crappy and have a likely lifetime in months - because they correctly estimate their market doesn't care.
