Pixel? Samsung?

You can do that with any modern phone but people don't do it....
 
Consider this the 'celeron' of Apple. Some people want an Apple product because they want an Apple product, they don't do any real productivity work on it. For $599 it will have a crap (for apple) monitor and something worse than the butterfly keyboard and will probably get 30 hours of battery life, and will give all the fanbois/apologists yet more things to declare 'total dominance' over any other choice.

I wasn't trying to be insulting though I can see I hit a sore spot with you. AMD is not outselling Intel in the DC - they had a good year but I don't know of any DC that is buying more AMD than Intel chips, unless its an AMD only company, and there are a few...Giving you the benefit of the doubt (which google searches easily show is wrong), this STILL means the vast majority of hardware, today, in a DC, is STILL Intel. Enterprises aren't just throwing away their servers. Hell my last gig ~25% of our servers were 10 years old (and buying 5k new every quarter)
 
Nvidia absolutely wants to ensure that Intel remains on top because its in their best interest. On Top doesn't mean who has sold more chips to gamers last year - if you walk into any DC you'll find 75-90% of their silicon is Intel, and if its an AI DC a higher percentage will be Nvidia compute.
 
For the record, I own lots of AMD and think they have much better products than Intel, but that doesn't change the enterprise reality of momentum, though its changing rapidly and Nvidia sees this...

Intel can't even make their own chips at a competitive level when it comes to latest and greatest techniques. ;) If there's some problem where TSMC can't provide chips, Nvidia AND AMD AND Intel will all have problems, along with just about every other chip manufacturer.

You obviously don't work in a datacenter or with enterprise hardware - it doesn't matter what benchmarks you're looking at, large companies are still buying tons of Intel chips because they already have a ton of Intel chips. And you're right, CUDA has more market penetration than ROCm but that doesn't change what I said - AMD is the only *real* rival to the products Nvidia makes.
 
The more DC start to get AMD, the better their automation teams will get at patching the firmware and performance tuning for Epyc, which again is an entirely different skillset than just "rack and run". Should companies start to *actually buy* MI35x en masse, then Nvidia will feel their biggest profit/margin maker threatened.
 
This investment is ensuring people don't run *any* AMD anything in the DC.

More like a frenemy - Nvidia does not have any sort of market in the datacenter where Intel competes, at all, and would much rather see Intel Xeon chips and motherboards running their AI compute stack than AMD Epycs - because AMD is the *real* rival to where Nvidia makes the bulk of their money (hint: its not to gamers)... Intel compute cards cannot compete on the enterprise level at all with Nvidia and in fact there's a synergy there since they both want the same thing - AMD to lose.

It's a neat material, and 90% is a good number but its not 100%. Put this on a robot limb that stretched it and it would quickly lose elasticity.. It also took 10 minutes to fully self-heal. I'm sure there's some good applications for this but anything requiring extreme flexibility will wear this out quickly since a 10% loss in strength after each use isn't great.

One is an internationally recognized terrorist organization and the other is a Chinese equivalent Scientology that threatened their grand leaders popularity contest. I wonder if they did this for Scientology how well the code would be for a 'Western model' whatever that is since there's a lot of anti-Scientology sentiment around...also most of our models have a *lot* of Chinese researchers working on them so calling it a Western Model is silly. Western USA? There's AI companies outside that. West Hemisphere? Most of EU is not in the western hemisphere, that includes the location of Mistral HQ.

Seems more likely this, than some subtle shit like "Code for Tibet, but make it just a little worse!".

They (the industry) have been using it and haven't mentioned it, at least Business Insider is admitting it. Anyway putting "AI draft" on an article would result in less readers so its in their financial best interest to use this as much as possible and not admit it.

Well yes, induction requires an area to induct, inverse square law applies etc. You'd have to do this yourself I guess since I'm not going to convince you, I have a proper wok with a small area flat bottom and use it on an induction stove top all the time. You can find videos of wok experts even seasoning a new wok on an induction - https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=uDx9wym1NmM or specific dish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OuBQywzTO0.

When you cook something at high temperatures you let off particulate.
 
The point is you are putting off less in an enclosed area if you're not burning hydrocarbon based fuel, or are you saying something different that I'm not understanding?

Its actually nitrogen dioxide that is the biggest polluter from gas stoves, though I'm sure it depends on both the purity of the gas and your stove.

I love my induction and won't go back, I can make my coffee in my mokapot in 2 minutes flat and subsidize the cost with solar and still cook a fine hollandaise or use a wok.
 
If you have a gas stove and think there's no pollution, I recommend you get a cheap air quality detection that does PM and TVOC and etc and then tell us there's no pollution.

And this is somehow completely different than the US forcing the regulation and sale of tiktok?
 
Nvidia hasn't sold a whole lot of chips to China (directly) in the last year anyway and it sounds like the bulk of their product are sold to a couple of cloud whales in the US based on their last quarterly. I interpret this as blowback from the Trump Tariff crap fest and tiktok regulation but maybe its more insidious than that, though I can't imagine its more insidious than our Trade Wars 2025.
