Who's problem is this?

Nvidia probably doesnt officially say anything about this and 99.9% of people do not rename process name


It's definitely Nvidia's problem if this breaks something. Nothing in the D3D/OpenGL specs says that you can (not) use certain executable names.

Yeah, I'm sure NVIDIA is going to get around to "fixing" a decade's old industry standard for something that contributes less than 10% of their revenue.

of course they do.

nvidia even has an official api for a game to identify itself so they dont need to look at executable name


Phrasing, I wasn't blaming anyone, just curious about the technicalities.

5 or 50? I'd say 5 years ago it was already Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, GTA 5, etc.

5 years before hl2

One of those is not like the others

>- Used software lock-in of CUDA to gain advantage in hardware sales.


>Modern sites are extremely complex. BASH, Docker, Kubernetes, Python, Varnish, NGINX, Postgres, Cassandra, Elastic, Redis, Celery, CSS/Sass, Typescript. Observability, logging, build systems, testing, backups, CI, and a consistent design system. That’s all just to get to HTTP 200 “hello world”.

A lot of fancy keywords, but

1) It's the stack that you decided to put your services on, your HTTP 200 could be also served by nginx + 1 html file

2) You can make empty video multiplayer game which will sound as fancy as that HTTP 200 hello world


Deliberately misunderstanding my point while making my point!

Yes! Games are complex! An empty site with modern infrastructure is just as complex as an empty multiplayer video game, exactly, we agree!

However, NGINX+a file isn't going to get you very far. You know that.


What you care more about?

technical details or real-world outcomes?


You might not get the answer you were hoping for there.


>big government and a fancy stock manipulation scheme.

What's wrong with US gov caring about supply chain and manufacturing capability of the most needed technology right there - on American soil?

It is in US' interest to be able to produce such complex tech locally


Yes, it's called industrial policy and it can work very well.


Yes and it can also reduce competitive forces which were driving Intel to innovate. The goal of a robust supply chain is not aligned with the goal of technical supremacy. Sure, the US did achieve technical supremacy in the past with government intervention and assistance, but the world was much different then. Now the US has to compete with East Asian innovation.


Asian innovation often is the result of industrial policy to get started. Once it gets going, the state can and should let go and let market forces work.

I don't think that the basic situation has changed in that regard. China is currently trying hard to catch up in semiconductor manufacturing and AI. It seems to be working somewhat for AI (Qwen), we need to wait and see about semi manufacturing. A curious and long-term failure so far is civil aviation.


Samsung has a Texas fab(and AAPL is in discussions with them alongside INTC).


The issue for some is the driving force is military, to secure their supply chain to kill people.


Counter point: Apple exists in their size because of the US’s willingness to keep shipping lanes and trade routes open by use of force and US diplomatic efforts to allow for trade to exist in foreign nations. It’s debatable if this still holds true or is the correct approach given the shitshow going on right now.


It's also a major concern to have a supply chain that can be protected from foreign manipulation.

A compromised supply chain is a huge intelligence/national security risk, not just for military platforms but everything from government and commercial datacenters to personal devices used by both public and private sector individuals.


Chrome is equivalent of operating system, meanwhile Finder? :D


One hour in sauna? :O


A random time I pulled out of my head. If this is real the next question is what is the optimal time. (also temperature and humidity levels)


wut? Intel with 18A can do it


Its low yields and tiny volumes are part of what gets the US from “no capacity” to “almost no capacity.”


yields are constantly improving on monthly basis, according to executives around 7% per month, so the capability is definitely there, but yields still needs some time


>And a small observation: if you require money to do something, you usually have no chance of being as good as the folks that do it for the pleasure.

Usually complex things are there, where they money is - semiconductor industry, big corpos (chromium, linux, llvm, etc), AI, etc.
