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.

this being just an ARM server should hopefully limit its potential as e-waste, assuming the cores aren’t absolute dogs for non-LLM workloads? but of course this being attached to AI hype will ensure its price tag is at least 10x what’d typically be considered reasonable for 144 ARM cores on a fast interconnect
e: some more details on the chip from before they went all-in on AI hype. it’s a nice datacenter chip that’ll host a whole lot of vCPUs, but it’s not architecturally innovative in any way I can see other than number going up in terms of performance
I dunno, ARM is fairly e waste at the moment. Apple and Samsung just had to pump a bunch of money into ARM because it's value is deflating so bad today it could affect them directly. ARM is liquidating and trying to sell off as much as they can right now. With Risc-V taking over ARM is just a flash in the pan, even Apple and Samsung themselves are investing in Risc-V, hell even Qualcomm is switching to Risc-v development.
