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
