minus-square@HappySkullsplitterlink17•1 month agoIt’s wild that his opinion is meant to carry any weight on this issue at all
minus-square@HappySkullsplitterlink13•1 month agoThe NSA whistleblower never worked for NVIDIA or any key position in the industry His opinion doesn’t carry any more weight than anyone else
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish8•1 month agoAgreed. Who a person is doesn’t matter at all to the truth of what they say. Even if they aren’t an Nvidia employee. I don’t need my dog to tell me, ~10% performance gains from one gen to the next, is shit.

Lol he’s a computer expert. If everyone who has a valued opinion needed to … Work for the company they are criticizing… There could be no such thing as a critic
It doesn’t take an expert to arrive at the same conclusion
So… Exactly? Just is noteworthy if a smart SME also notices
Would it be as noteworthy if Bill Waterson from QA at Veeva Systems said it?
