Even when he was working, the majority of his output was as a naturalized American Citizen, on American soil. Tesla is as classicly an American name as Edison, Eisenhower, Truman or Monroe - It's an immigrant name from a country of immigrants.

In case anyone reading this is interested in specific historical information the origins of the listed last names in order are English, German, English, and Gaelic Here's a census of immigrants roughly around the time Tesla was working in the U.S. (1910's), showing the relative percentages from each region (a point of comparison which is not even accounting for the ones who came from the above regions before this tim…

That document (that you've poorly linked[1]) puts the percentage of British immigrants at 9%, Irish at 10%, of German at 18%, and of French at 0.9%. All those numbers are totally meaningless. The population of the US as a whole that was foreign born was 14.7%. That too, is meaningless. In the 1890 census, closest to when Tesla was naturalized, it was also around 15% [2].

I don't know what narrative you're trying to debunk, because 15% year by year for years and years is high. The UK, which is a top destination for immigration, has never been close to that number until very recently. [3] But really, what I actually find weird is that you're trying to debunk some narrative.

there is no price, there is no power usage, the rated fp32 is roughly on par with a video card that is 6 years old now. unless it's crazy efficient (at 12nm I doubt it), I wouldnt say it's competing with the giants.

Maybe it'll have Linux drivers.

Asking the important questions !

I really do not think a Taiwan invasion is imminent, at least short of a huge provocation.

For numbers, Metaculus collectively puts China annexing Taiwan by 2050 at around 50%: https://www.metaculus.com/questions/5320/chinese-annexation-... 30 years is a long time for forecasting though, afaik forecasting accuracy in tournaments drops as a function of time.

>For numbers, Metaculus collectively puts China annexing Taiwan by 2050 at around 50%

I really don't see how that's any more accurate than tea leaves or bones...

One could just as easily argue it's 84%, because a crackhead gave him that number in response to a cheeseburger.

If it performs similar to a 1060 or 1070 gpu from MVIDIA and has an appropriate price point people who want to create a budget gaming computer would be an appropriate target market.

Who would buy an Nvidia alternative with same price and same specs if it is known that Nvidia has decades of more experience in writing drivers targeting specific games.

While I'm wary for Taiwan what does that have to do at all with this story??? This sort of sentiment reminds me of those Americans who want to stop drinking Vodka over the invasion of Ukraine.

Surely there are people of all different nationalities that share that thought? Seems weird to make it only about Americans.

Right? This sentiment reminds me of the French guys that think all americans make blanket statements. Now wait a second...

Why did you call if Mvidia? As a proud owner of a 1070ti, I don't think that's the budget gaming computer.

It was a typo sorrry.

Can’t help but notice the user name :) For the non-german speaking readers, it is jitter movement

What do you think is the relative statistical frequency of Balkan last names of American citizens relative to one's of English, Germanic, and Gaelic origin, and why?

And how do you think that ties in with the idea of a name being inherently more likely to be known by foreign groups and associated with that country?

I guess I understand your point though, that Tesla himself is very much an "American" and therefore Tesla is a household American name. Seems we've derailed very far though from the original discussion.

My point was that it's an American name because it's a part of American history. That's all.
