  • Summary

  • Every so often we like to give our Oxide and Friends hot takes (or as Adam puts it "Bryan getting trolled on Twitter"). This time, a viral tweet suggests that NVIDIA is on the same trajectory as Sun Microsystems on its ascent during the Dot Com Bubble. From two alumni of Sun's rise and fall: maaaaybe not.

    In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, speakers included Todd Gamblin.

    Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:

    • The Tweet!
    • OxF: Innovation Stagnation? -- wherein we forgot to read the tweet
    • Framework laptop RISC-V mainboard
    • Tadpole SPARCbook
    • OxF: A Requiem for SPARC with Tom Lyon -- we're RISC dead-enders
    • Acquired on NVIDIA: part I, part II, part III, Jensen
    • RIVA 128
    • OxF: Steve Jobs & the Next Big Thing

    If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar. We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!
