Does this mean their gaming GPUs are becoming less in demand, and therefore cheaper/more available again?

Absolutely not, unfortunately.

The problem is not that gaming GPUs are in demand, it’s that selling silicon to AI center buildouts is so absurdly profitable right now they just aren’t making many gaming GPUs.

If you can only get so many mm^2 of dies from TSMC, might as well make 50x selling to AI providers.

Check the GTC 2026 agenda, there are hardly any graphics programming talks.

At least there are a few cool ones about programming CUDA directly in Python.

Yep, it's a sad time for the gaming world.

It means it will be profitable to mine crypto again

No.

Based on this thread, I decided to implement my best take on an online engineering notebook:

All local first. Happy to get some contributors :)

Did you one-shot this using an AI coding agent? If this was really just now created after reading this article and the comments, it's incredibly impressive.

Let's say.... 10 shot with Claude Code :) Initial app, then hand refined, Claude Code again...back and forth. Spend my morning doing it and it was fun. Very simple so far, want to clean it up and add more meaningful features.

EDIT: Also, turns out the in-browser Editor landscape got GOOD the last few years apparently. It's really just plug and play. I remember 5 years I tried to do this and it was painful.

Crazy. Is it a library or ... ?

I started the same project end of last year and it’s true - having an LLM guide you through the setup and writing docs is a real game changer!

I just wish this post wasn’t written by an LLM! I miss the days where you can feel the nerdy joy through words across the internet.

GeForce Now is a pretty good deal for people who just want to play the “Game of the Year” titles without paying 2.5k for hardware they barely use and loose its value rapidly.

If you want a hands-off gaming experience, you just get a console. Streaming services are always going to be economically and technically unsatisfying.

Same here! I built around 6 side projects this year! One literally in 1h which now serves my little community I living in (<5k people) everyday.

A fun side effects I got from this: Now I can see my ideas fully fleshed out, and realised that, a), most of these ideas are stupid and better solved by existing solutions , or b), that the code was never the problem but tweaking the UI or user facing part to really hone in the problem I am trying to solve!

what coding agents you are using?

I am using Claude 98% of the time, and using Zed as an IDE for it.

I would be so curious how they got to the data!

I am actually on a legacy plan, and they shut down the machine by default if not used. Last month I got a bill of 1.15 USD, which they said I don't have to pay since it's below 5 USD :)

Claude through the Web, and just normal IDEs (Rust Rover and Zed) without any built in help. Just copy/pasting + adjusting through the Web UI of Claude.

I specifically prompted the UI to be simplistic, component based etc. I also prompted tailwind, so that the LLM doesn't go crazy on hundreds of lines of CSS. Everything generated I can understand and change.

Just the Web UI. So usual subscription price. I used Claude Code previously, but wasn't super satisfied. Also changing files directly gave me more headaches in the past. I want to see the code first, judge it how it looks, and then do the change myself.
