Chris Lattner also has a very good episode on Lex Fridman (Episode 381, June 2nd, 2023): - link - link - link He has two other episodes on the show: - ▶ this video (Episode 131, October 18th, 2020) - link (Episode 21, May 13th, 2019)

▶ this video is an interview with SiFive's Chris Lattner. RISC-V & SiFive looks like the next step once Moore's Law ends and we need another option to increase perf/watt and perf/$. Creating device-specific chips that drop the unwanted general purpose silicon seems like the way forward.
