Is NVIDIA like Sun from the Dot Com Bubble?

Every so often we like to give our Oxide and Friends hot takes (or as Adam puts it "Bryan getting trolled on Twitter"). This time, a viral tweet suggests that NVIDIA is on the same trajectory as Sun Microsystems on its ascent during the Dot Com Bubble. From two alumni of Sun's rise and fall: maaaaybe not.In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, speakers included Todd Gamblin.Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:The Tweet!OxF: Innovation Stagnation? -- wherein we forgot to read the tweetFramework laptop RISC-V mainboardTadpole SPARCbookOxF: A Requiem for SPARC with Tom Lyon -- we're RISC dead-endersAcquired on NVIDIA: part I, part II, part III, JensenRIVA 128OxF: Steve Jobs & the Next Big ThingIf we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR!
