> nor are they really a software company in the same vein as some companies who make/create an operating system or an ecosystem from the ground up they are more of an parasitic website company with delusions of Grandeur.

Not a fan of Meta but this is a rather unfair statement to make. They're pretty knee deep in low level systems + hardware-software co-design.

checker659··on Arm releases first in-house chip, with Meta as debut customer
But one is a press release from ARM and the other is a report from CNBC. How are the two the same?

By your logic, there shouldn't be a gazillion posts about Apple Events the day it happens.

Your quotation isn't being rendered. For a moment, I thought the comment was your own words. You were, turns out, quoting someone else.
checker659··on How will OpenAI compete?
That has not been my experience at all. My mom and dad were able to switch from ChatGPT to Gemini without any friction whatsoever. I myself round robin between Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT all the time.

Are both using a PCIe switch? If one is and the other isn't, it could be about PCIe credit based flow control kicking in.

Curious what you mean by learning? Learning about TLPs? Learning about FPGA DMA Engines like XDMA? Learning about PCIe switches / retimers? Learning about `lspci`?
checker659··on Nepal's Mountainside Teahouses Elevate the Experience for Trekkers
It's winter here. That's mostly an issue during summer. Also, if you're out trekking, then that is a non-issue (especially higher up in the mountains).

> and not have to worry about the right libraries being installed on my system and whether I've generated a Makefile. Packages are easily searchable, hosted on popular platforms like GitHub, and I can file bugs and ask questions without having to join an obscure mailing list or deal with an unfriendly community.

Maybe it's just me, but that right there is the stuff of nightmares. What library, and written by who, is it going to pull in.

checker659··on China DRAM Maker CXMT Targets $4.2B IPO as It Takes on Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron
I don't know about that. All I'm pointing out is that just because US doesn't like China doesn't mean there isn't a bigger market out there. So, even if China ends up servicing that market only, that's still a big chunk of the pie. So, case in point, a Chinese DRAM maker flooding the market with cheap(er) DRAMs (or any DRAM for that matter -- thanks Micron), will end up affecting the price of DRAM in the US.
