The shared memory breakthrough was supposed to have come from AMD or Apple as they've had shared memory products for way longer. As usual, nothing happens until nVidia shows up.

Judges not impressed by Amazon, SpaceX's attempt to have NLRB declared unconstitutional

Labor Cartels should be illegal. Represent yourself, stop relying on being represented by a mafia thug. You don't need them. Glad to help you write a fluffy resume and you'll make more than any union could get you.
