@DavidSacks Just like EDA sw didn't reduce the need for chip designers, it just allowed us to build much more complex chips...Software Design Automation (SDA) doesn't reduce demand for software engineers. Only lower software demand would do, which isn't happening for the 10-15+ years
Gavin Baker: "I've been optimistic that the fundamental shortage of wafers, which is really controlled by Taiwan Semi, will prevent a bubble."
"If Taiwan Semi did what Jensen wanted, Nvidia could sell $2 trillion of GPUs in 2026 or 2027.
But there is a limit where consumers would consume so much that you'd probably be in an overbuild.
And you are starting to see companies go to Intel and Samsung.
A lot of this may come down to the degree to which Taiwan Semi can maintain a lead over Intel and Samsung and the pace at which they expand capacity.
If I were to watch one thing to understand whether there's a bubble, it's Taiwan Semi's capacity decisions.
There's a Goldilocks zone where they expand enough to make it hard for Intel or Samsung to emerge as a second source, but they also keep the fundamental constraint on wafers that helps us avoid a bubble."
Why don't data centers just use Coke Zero? It is an effective coolant. For the average unfit nerd with a bloated energy consumption like me...it's often better than water.
Does anyone know what is with the dozen or so emails a day from all different emails saying a family office wants to invest 2-35m? Are other founders getting these? it's been getting worse and worse over the last 5 months
