Other answers are very good. It is about making a genuinely sustainable future, one that people actively wish to move towards. If something leads to a dystopia, then try to do the opposite. It happens on a personal level, local, community and eventually government and country scale. It’s not the easy path of defeat but the hard rewarding path towards a more peaceful and equitable world.

Everybody mocked the jacket and yet the results speak for themselves.

Maybe the jacket works?

Oh yes, these affairs are a bit moreish.

One could say that Job’s was much more influential in terms of how Apples products were designed and marketed and that was very important in gaining public mind share. Huang seems to just be a general CEO type that is easily replaceable and is only successful due to having the best hardware for a specific job, they literally have products that sell themselves because nobody else has this technology moat.

Nvidia is a $4 trillion + business now but it is pure luck that they feel into that position. Who could have know that introducing CUDA in 2004 would lead to them being a core component in AI in almost 20 years later? Yes, they maximized this position with some very questionable business practices but it is just pure luck they got there. 5 years ago most of the general public had even heard of Nvidia and if they had many of them called it Nevada!

What I am saying is, how much of Nvidia technology success on the back on Huang and how much of it is just that he happened to be the founder of a company that was in the right place at the right time?

It is a shame, I was waiting for the AI bubble to pop/deflate and to see Huang have to get up on stage and present a GPU that is just for gaming. That would have been fun to see.

Just hit the dong… ahem… I will see myself out.

UltraHLE was a game changer in how we could think about emulation at the time. They avoided a large part of emulation by just swapping out some generic N64 API’s that a lot of Nintendo built titles all used for PC specific ones. It allowed for great performance but also made it basically only work on those titles without a lot of work.

Nowadays Proton/FEX translation layers work in a similar fashion. You don’t simulate the whole system or OS, just the key parts and then swap out the API’s.

I was running UltraHLE on a Pentium 2 450Mhz with a Voodoo 2, so 800x600 was perfectly fine but that was basically the idea setup for the time.

So long as you can ignore taking on new BS, it should dilute. Easy to say, difficult to do depending on the person and circumstances.

Ouch, but true.

Yes. Try and stop me.

I was always a fan of Lord Boop. Stern, wise and smells of beans. A good steed of a king.

This is a terrible question! It should be ‘When many potatoes are there?’

To that the answer is potato.

That kind of shenanigans always makes me think that the mental capacity of many in government peaks at age 6.

Yep, when folks like Jordan Peterson were pushing that agenda, that is how you know it must be important. Live your life as an inverse Peterson.
