🔮 General Partner @RRE. I mostly write about things that are either highly technical, highly regulated, or highly boring. Ideally all 3!
Era of capture everything
It’s finally coming in handy to have voraciously read tech news every day since 2002. Because I remember a lot of random stuff…including MyLifeBits. There are very few products without precedent and @AviSchiffmann’s Tab AI [0] is no different. I always find it instructive to look to what the past tried when envisioning the future (one I'd love to exist).Tab AI hardware.

The XPU
The capital required to start and commercially validate a software business was much more comparable to the capital requirements to get a new chip off the ground back in the day. The two domains have since diverged massively. Software only got easier and cheaper to develop and chips only got harder. Furthermore—after a period of widespread experimentation and subsequent consolidation—most workloads beyond a few specific processes largely rolled up to the CPU or GPU. The steady state today is ...
