    2. @sxpJan 2021· in “Ask HN: What companies are you excited about?”

      this video is an interview with SiFive's Chris Lattner. RISC-V & SiFive looks like the next step once Moore's Law ends and we need another option to increase perf/watt and perf/$. Creating device-specific chips that drop the unwanted general purpose silicon seems like the way forward.
