Nvidia has confirmed "Globes" report that it has chosen the Israel Land Authority (ILA) area in Kiryat Tivon to build its huge campus that will accommodate up to 10,000 employees.

According to the illustration published by the US chip giant, this will be a large campus inspired by the design of the company’s new iconic headquarters in Santa Clara. When built it will be surrounded by commercial areas and restaurants with investment in parks and green spaces.

Not defending Jensen or Israel, but want to point out that Israel has many good engineers - the Intel team that designed the Core/Core Duo/Core Quad and saved Intel from the Netburst (Pentium 4) architecture was from Israel.

They have smart people, but I definitely do not agree with their government's actions.

    Nazi Germany had millions of smart people supporting the world domination effort.

    Where does smart=decent?

    Makes me think of the country subreddit I left not so long ago, where the members were so full of themselves and despite their intelligence and claims to empathy they would like to commit genocide on the lower classes.

    No one mentioned smart = decent. But you can't also assume Israeli = bad. Not everyone in Israel supports its government's actions.

    Imagine people elsewhere in the world assuming any random American = Nazi.

    The Nazis had good engineers too. What's the point of your comment?

    The point is that's why Nvidia is setting up shop there. You know... the original story of this thread...

    Anyway, one of the Nazi's downfall was they kept designing better and better tanks, and that ultimately required more resources to build. While the US just basically kept spamming them with simple design tanks that doesn't require as much to build.

    This is sadly a very common misconception, mostly due to the Nazi propaganda itself. The pre-war designs where mostly retrofitted civilian machines, the best example are the first planes they build. This was due to the restrictions to rearmament. After the war begun, the meth upped shitheads mostly threw material against every problem they faced (more money = less problems = more good). The result were monstrosities that broke down regularly. Another good example for the propaganda of "ze effizint Jerman Enjeniring" is the Autobahn. There was an Autobahn before. Hitler added some small parts and made sure he and his goons are photographed doing it. Boom, Hitler build the Autobahn.
