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 is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

You're absolutely right, unless you actually read it.

The DOJ suspects Nvidia has been:

  • Pressuring customers to buy only Nvidia chips if they want continued supply;
  • Buying up competitors, such as Israeli startup Run:ai, to suppress their technologies;
  • Locking customers in with its software, such as the CUDA libraries.

And also closing with:

Nvidia insists that it “wins on merit, as reflected in our benchmark results and value to customers.” And Nvidia does have the best stuff — but that’s not what the DOJ, Warren, or France are concerned about, is it?

To tie the bow nicely.
