So? I'm making a true observation about the companies. I am well aware this is about FPGA and that has nothing to do with my comment.

Nvidia supports their cards for many years - even quite old cards often have modern drivers.

AMD just does not see the world this way.

Soon we will all just be human cattle owner by billionaires who own all the technology used to keep us poor and indoors.

Oh, no - that's actually now.

It's long been said:

"AMD never misses a chance to miss a chance."

In this case, the chance to trash its reputation with customers.

I got lost in the double negatives and inversions of this interaction.

But then again, I’m not unconvinced that I didn’t fail to misunderstand it correctly.

Has Go become a "boring language"?

You can choose not to join the Internet outrage machine. That's a personal choice you can make.

You can choose instead to just enjoy the work and shrug at the terrible injustices and unbelievably bad behavior the trolls want to manipulate you to be mad about, multiplying their power. You don't have to obey the trolls when they instruct you that "this person is a liar!", and "what about the minecraft server!".

Including all the mentally unwell people/trolls in the comments who have become obsessed with Bob's Minecraft server project that did not work out.

Their righteous indignation will valiantly carry forth forever! Let them never stop obsessing! "But it matters!" "It's really important!" "He's a liar, and boy our society is collapsing because of liars!". Urghh. They are in the comments here too, riding high white horses.

If you work at github can you see everyone's private repos?

Its worse than that - all AI features will get broken down into even finer slices and you will have to pay for everything based on the finest level of slice they can make and still make money.

Clearly just an anti AI rant packaged up in a fancy suit.

No-one says this.

I understand for some people its the display of human wizardy that matters.

For me it's about making the computer do awesome things - I do not care how I get there I just want it to do whatever I can conjure in my head.
