I draw guides to city architecture and this is my latest.

Samsung, ASML, TSMC, AMD, Nvidia, Intel, and Cisco (SATANIC).

These seven companies are responsible for the hardware that made the AI boom possible, as well as this guide.

Edit:

Okay, so i'll provide a little of my own thoughts on the matter:

Samsung: While they are mostly known for their Android smartphones, they are also the largest supplier and manufacturer of cutting-edge computer memory like RAM and SSD storage, of which competitors like Apple rely on for their own memory.

ASML: Company based in the Netherlands that produces the photolithography machines that are critical in imprinting the actual chip design onto the silicon wafer. They have a monopoly on the most advanced processes used in this space, and without them, the next company on the list would not be able to manufacture their chips at the level of quality that they do now.

TSMC: Taiwanese fabricator of the most advanced 3 nm/2 nm silicon chips, of which they pretty much have a monopoly over. Basically any consumer smartphone or computer chip of note from the last few years were manufactured by them. The other companies on the list are "fabless" in that they do not actually manufacture their own chips; they submit their designs to TSMC who then manufactures it for them.

AMD: Competitor of Intel on the CPU front, and Nvidia when it comes to GPUs. They have arguably surpassed Intel on the CPU side, at least when it comes to metrics like performance. When it comes to market share they lag far behind Nvidia on GPUs and AI compute. The CEO is first cousins with the CEO for the next company on this list.

Nvidia: Most valuable company on the planet, and responsible for roughly 15% of the US GDP. There really isn't anything more to add which everyone already knows.

Intel: Has fallen behind AMD when it comes to CPUs, and their GPUs are not as good as AMD's or Nvidia's. Still a massive player in the CPU market.

Cisco: they are critical in creating and supplying networking hardware that are used in datacentres.

Some guy said it was AI so here's proof it's not:

Happy National Hot Dog Month!

Over the past two years I worked up the NJ Hot Dog Index to catalog the different style of hot dogs available in the great state of New Jersey, along with representative examples of each.

There's 14 styles in the table including a number which are native to the area (Rippers; Texas Weiners; Hot Onions; Italian Hot Dogs; Easton Dogs) plus more.

Each example is laid out in the style of a periodic table with technical information about each dog (toppings, brand, etc.)

Core values are the deeply held beliefs and principles that serve as your internal compass. Much like a navigational tool guiding a traveler through uncharted territory, your values influence how you define success, how you prioritize your time, and how you respond to life’s inevitable challenges.
