Nvidia’s $20B Antitrust Loophole (Not an Acquisition)
”You’re taking on a giant. What gives you the audacity?” On November 5th, 2025, Groq CEO Jonathan Ross was asked why he was even bothering to challenge Nvidia. He didn’t blink: ”I think that was a polite way to ask why in the world are we competing with Nvidia, so we’re not. Competition is a […]

Nvidia Just Paid $20B for a Company That Missed Its Revenue Target by 75%
If you’ve heard “Grok” thrown around lately, you’re probably thinking of Elon’s chatbot from xAI. We’re not talking about that one.

Cursed Bundler: Using go get to install Ruby Gems
Here’s a thought experiment. What if Ruby had require ”github.com/rails/rails” and you used go get to fetch it? Set GOPATH to a Ruby load path, and Go’s module fetcher becomes your transport layer.
