"SSD as RAM" is a good way to reason about it. It means you have a lot more RAM, e.g. thus, PS5 has 825GB of RAM. RAM in the TB, soon. Would a couple of orders of magnitude make a difference? If software is designed with terabyt

From a VC's point of view, for early startups, only pre-chasm matters. If many don't cross, well, it's a numbers game.

Clash of ecosystems? At interfaces: ARM is far more customizable than x86 - but on chip. And at targets: ecosystem revolves around low-power. e.g. (21 TOPS) Xavier NX is for devices "constrained by size, weight, and power budgets.&quot

True, but it's not zero work, and you must retain sufficient investing expertise to interpret and respond wisely. Maybe "responsibility" is more apt than "job". And over decades, things change, e.g. GFC and now covi
