    As with pretty much any staple food. It’s used as a filler. The reason you might not understand is that it can be expensive to eat only meat, veggies, etc. A cheap staple like rice, noodles, or bread is a good way not to die of starvation or at the least keep some money in your pocket.

    If a staple food isn’t part of your daily diet, that speaks a bit of privilege on your economic position.

    Also I enjoy rice. It’s neutral tasting but with a tiny bit of seasoning it’s good.












  • That’s a very good point, but a little misleading. A better number would be to add up all the top tier cards from every generation, not just the past 2. Just because they’re old doesn’t mean they still aren’t relatively inefficient for their generation.

    If we kept the generations exactly the same, but got rid of the top 1 or 2 cards. The technological advancement would be happening just as fast. Because really, the top tier cards are about silicon lottery and putting as much power in while keeping stable clocks. They aren’t different from an architecture perspective within the same generation. It’s about being able to sell the best silicon and more VRAM at a premium.

    But as you said, it’s still a drop in the bucket compared to the overall market.
