Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Cited for a chart rebutting the claim that Moore's Law is dead, and for a passage on Amazon's one-way and two-way door decisions in an article on the origins of AWS custom silicon.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
A newsletter about the semiconductor landscape and its evolution in the next wave of computing.

What Hacker News says?
I know and acknowledged it: GH100 gates are 100nm wide despite the "5nm" process. We all know about this discrepancy. "Moore's Law is already dead" That's clearly false, have a quick look at this chart: https://semiconductor.substack.com/p/the-relentless-pursuit-...

Two-way door decisions have a low cost of failure and are easy to undo, while one-way door decisions have a high cost of failure and are hard to undo. We make two-way door decisions…
