Retaining that much detail on tentacles takes some drive space

Linear density could also boost throughout. Multiple actuators also exist.

I am not sure. They have other businesses but not sure those other businesses are able to sustain the obligations that nVidia has committed to in this round. They are juggling more money than their pre-AI boom market cap by a wide margin, so if the bubble pops, unclear how big a bag nVidia will be left holding and if the rest of their business can survive it. Guess they might go bankrupt and come out of it eventually to continue business as usual after having financial obligations wiped away…

Also, they have somewhat tarnished their reputation with going all in on the dataenter equipment to, seemingly here, abandoning the consumer market to make more capacity for the datacenters. So if AMD ever had an opportunity to maybe cash in, well, here it might be… Except they also dream of being a big datacenter player, but weaker demand may leave them with leftover capacity…

Well, they are helping out with that one…

We only do it in front of our kids to make them cringe

I guess the same way email can have html as an attachment for the same thing a plaintext does, evidently some of these mails suggested a mailer actually pdf encoded the email and attached, as well as the plain text.

So when someone replied with plaintext the base64 encoded PDF that they were replying to got ‘quoted’, meaning the unredacted email they were replying to is in there, just messy due to font confusion in the provided format.

Some of the reactions are some in an effective way, and I assume this example is one of them. The problem being evidently they didn’t think any what might be in big base64 blobs in the PDF, and I guess some of these folks somehow had their email encoded as PDF, which seems bonkers…

He was pretty milquetoast, but he got saddled with the post-covid ‘wtf’ the economy went through with shortages and price hikes combined with impacts from Russia’s invasion…

None of it reasonably Biden’s fault, but he got stuck with it happening on his watch so lot’s of people need to blame something vaguely controllable so they blame and vote against the president.

Presidents are usually as likely to be defined by their circumstances as their actual actions or inactions.

I mean, RFK Jr is pretty dumb…

Well, RFK just needs to be kicked out of his position, I don’t think there’s malicious intent, he’s just a supremely dangerous incompetent to be making health decisions for anything, let alone a nation.

He’s perhaps the only sincere guy in the entire administration and yet one of the most dangerous because of it.

That’s what his bowel movement said at the press event.

He’s saying to take over elections in 15 states specifically, so Republican states will be left alone, sounds good to them…

Ah, ok, that’s fair. I agree that codec/bitrate choice has made a lot of ostensibly ‘4k’ content look like crap, so why have 8k when many providers/internet connections won’t even cover the requisite detail to drive 4k in streaming.

Even if the electios are free in fair, I don’t think he’d be done in November.

The only way he’s “done” is if GOP loses every single last senate seat up for grabs. Every single one in Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, West Virginia, Florida, Texas, etc.

Hell, most analysts think that Democrats don’t have a realistic chance of even getting a simple senate majority, let alone a veto-proof one or even a filibuster proof one.

If they don’t then they cannot remove anyone from office, they cannot override vetos. Yes, they can decline to pass bills, but given their stance of ‘executive branch has supreme power’, they’ll just do illegal executive orders and ignore the courts unless the supreme court agrees with them. Trump is already declared immune from any and all crimes except by the Senate and has the ability to pardon any and all federal cases, and that’s assuming his own enforcement agencies even bother trying to punish anyone…

But then there are the differences.

Let’s say the COVID vaccinne triggered a whole lot of new pharmarcies that specialized only in vacinnes. Still good news for Moderna. Except those new pharmacies can’t quite afford the vaccines they set up their business to work in. Moderna’s stock is so high though, that they can leverage that stock to get money to invest in those new pharmacies to give them money so they can buy the vacinnes.

Then the pandemic passes and those pharmacies have no business and fold and their market cap collapses to zero and Moderna spent a bunch of money they didn’t actually have on now worthless equity, and their revenue and perceived value drops back to pre-bubble levels. Except even lower because they incurred liabilities that they didn’t have pre-bubble.

For the crypto bubble, nVidia went out of their way to keep their financials out of it. But for AI they’ve been giving their biggest customers the money they need to buy nVidia’s product. Basically a cyclone of big top line numbers self-funded but enough to drive the markets wild for nVidia stock. The big players have likely already ensured billions of more secure assets that won’t pop as hard and so “why not?” to play with the extra ‘free’ money to see how big the numbers can go.

start focusing on TVs that actually last now…

That only makes their “people need to refresh their sets for our bottom line” even worse for them.

BTW, 30 years ago TVs were expensive and still failed. There was a viable TV repair industry because it was worth spending the money to repair and easier to repair.

Anecdotally, my Plasma and my LCDs have been more problem free than when my family had CRT TVs back in the day.

Umm… ok, but that’s not really related to this article…

Everyone ditching H265 in favor af AV1 universally doesn’t make TVs sell any more or any more expensive.

Certainly his use of LLM was stupidly egregious, but he found that even by those standards the math results underpinning the LLM were way off.

They have already leveraged their stock beyond their entire pre-AI market cap. There is no return to the old days now. If the AI boom goes bust on them, they have left themselves impossibly exposed. They will owe more money than they can possibly pay back.

They took what should have been a slam dunk to sell shovels for a gold rush with a nice fallback to previous viable business into an existential threat to their business.

A lot of the “AI” layoffs were using it as a plausible excuse for layoffs they wanted to do anyway. So I don’t anticipate a lot of them coming back.
