    I suppose if you really pressed me on it I’d say Pythagorean theorem is maybe less tryhard due to its innocence. It’s like the Casio watch of basic maths. Euler’s identity is like the cheapest Omega. You’re kind of hoping the observer recognizes the brand is expensive, but doesn’t know more than that.









  • Semiconductor fab is an industry which takes years and tons of cash to stand up a new product line, so a failure can really set you back a ton. Intel has had a series of false starts and outright failures competing with the entire industry. They can’t match TSMC on fabs, they can’t match AMD on x86 cpus, they got stomped by ARM in portables/edge, and they can’t seem to make a dent in the GPU market. The only place where they have a small market lead is in data center cpus, but they are at serious risk of falling behind that curve if AMD wants to move to a smaller node, or if server grade ARM finally takes off.

    Intel got rich on vertically integration and now they are struggling on both the fab and the IP side, which has really broken their traditional business model.
