On: Ask HN: What features does a chip require to beat Nvidia in the AI race?

I think this is valid for training but Nvidia also dominates inference, which is a bit of a different argument

Nvidia's products have been the biggest cash grab of all time. I don't think it's a matter of other companies believing it is just a bubble and therefore not attempting to compete, but that Nvidia hasn't left them room to compete effectively. That's what I'm trying to get to the bottom of.

Why do you think AI is going to die?

Excellent tip, thank you sir!

Go to NANOG mailing list if you want to talk to bigger ISPs and Datacenter owners and Tier 1 providers.

Will do! Thank you very much.

As a pioneer ISP with datacenters since 1987 I can endorse your request on both webhostingtalk and NANOG mailing list.

We could also email 200 expert volunteers directly, many are owners and top sysadmins of datacenters who helped Ukraine during the first weeks of the invasion in 2022.

I also know a few people at hyperscalers Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, CERN, NIKHEF, AMS-IX, Leaseweb, etc we could try.

>Will do! Thank you very much.

That's what HN is for, experts helping each other.

WOW! Thank you so much. Would you be willing to let me interview you directly? Regardless, I'd love to email you about the expert volunteers if that's ok.

[morphle → caloricflow]

NP. Email me (see profile) or post a video conference link.

This is an intelligence operation. For a school project.

Thanks for the advice. Will leave out any mention of desperation in the future. Not quite at the deadline but struggling a little to find leads.

We've taken the desperation out of the title above :)

You should put an email address in the About box in your profile so people have a way to contact you!

Double thank you!!
