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 increasingly seems like one of those "priors" that people should "update on." One tell is that the leading chip design firm has abandoned sensible power consumption targets, and gone all-in on shoving as much power as possible into as physically large a chip as they can possibly reliably get out of the fab. (Of course, you wouldn't notice this unless you work in a data center or can afford the more expensive desktop hardware.) I'm trying to think of a pithy catchphrase for social media purposes; best I've got so far is that there's a huge amount of people who have stranded themselves below the upper knee of the S-curve.
