GPUs were designed to manipulate image data and put pixels on screens. Later, it was discovered that they could be used for other things.
Today's LLMs require a particular type of math processing, GPUs do it well, but special purpose chips like TPUs and the mega chips from Cerebras may be better suited for the work.
Scientists and engineers are looking into other architectures, including analog.
Yes, there is a strong chance that NVIDIA may remain the leader, but there is also a chance that new algorithms or hardware approaches will dominate in the increasingly unpredictable future.

Jewish people do something similar with their youth with bar and bat mitzvahs.

You might want to consider learning something about the subject you're going to rant about before going off half-cocked to avoid shoving both of your feet down your throat. Those two ceremonies are simply symbolic coming of age rituals without any secret sections, and you can find out everything you need about them by asking your Jewish friends, presuming, of course, that you have any.

They did not monitor viruses. They monitored CO2. Sez so right in TFS.

>"What can be done to help prevent it? Mask wearing might help some"

Barely.

>"along with sanitary other stuff - improve the ventilation in such buildings, including good filters, UV lights and such helping to sterilize the air."

This is what I have been saying for ages. Central HVAC systems need to run the fans full time and contain HEPA filters and UV lights. That could be a HUGE winner for airborne infection reduction. And it is completely passive. Couple that with air exchangers to reduce VOCs. But it does cost significant money.

TDS seems to be spread by mobile phones.

Someone should take all the bits of the Arduino ecosystem that are open source software or open source hardware and fork/mirror it all so that you can download and use everything without needing to visit any Qualcomm or Arduino owned websites or agree to any terms of service.

>"We are clearly different then. I always log in, but i have a major incentive due to wanting to squash ads with youtube premium

There are other options. I also have no ads.

>"I'd say the same for YouTube. It's used to watch videos. The number of people who comment on them is minimal compared to the userbase."

That is exactly what I came to post. I use YouTube all the time. I have *never* logged into it. So for tons of people, it is not "social media".

Facebook, on the other hand, is mostly useless without a login. You can see a bit of it, then it stops.

>"I'd be very curious to the exact definition of "social media" they use is. I don't think it's what most people consider to be social media."

Bingo. Plays right into my comments last week about the stupid Virginia law trying to force "age checking" for "social media" and they don't even define what "social media" is or is not. As if everyone knows exactly what it is. Yet, somehow, stripping adults of their privacy and rights will save children (since parents refuse to restrict or withhold internet-connected devices from their children).

Is Slashdot "social media"? How about my local LUG's forum? What about the comments section on Amazon or Walmart product pages? Or reviews of apps on Google Play? A USENET group? Chat sessions in online games? If just watching videos is "social media" does that make broadcast TV or cable TV or a movie theater "social media"?

>"but really HSR should be focused on interstates. "

Exactly. That is about all we can expect would be workable/affordable. Otherwise it requires extremely expensive elevated tracks. The problem with many Interstates is that some of them now are nearly "full", having expanded multiple times for more lanes. There isn't an usable center area and sides are pinned in.

...it accurately identified and explained the problem so that experts could fix it, possibly with AI assistance, but always with expert review.
It would be really, really bad if clueless people believed that all they had to do is run it and it would magically fix everything.
