we really need small nuclear reactors to power the crazy power this AI infrastructure build out is going to need.

you can either get with technology or stand by the wayside. if you think there's no obvious benefit i feel sorry for you. document summarization alone is a game changer. its just like the printing press, washing machine, internet, google, etc. just another major advancement of technology for mankind.

This will go well for TSMC who is building a fab in Phoenix... Doesn't each chip made take like 8 gallons of water? Smart thinking people!!!

No surprise there. This guy also thinks we should increase defense spending by 35%.

^^^ This. With staking, the middleman are the whales/early adopters who can afford to lock up (stake) thousands of ethereum in proof of stake validators. The more you stake the more you make. Decentralized, my ass!

The cloud model typically uses lots of inexpensive servers and let software handle the load balancing and storage magic, as opposed to using few expensive name brand servers and SANs..

I am reading that Bitmain is overbidding and taking capacity away from Nvidia. Could this be true? If so Nvidia should pony up more if they want to put more cards in the hands of gamers.

As one who has done a fair bit of mining (20+ gpus) since 2013, I can tell you I have not had a single card fail due to mining. I have cards that have run 24x7 since 2013 and they run perfect. The only issues I have had were with fan bearings on blower style fans. Many second hand cards used for mining have warranty will transfer to the new owner so if it does fail, no big deal.

It's Nvidia and ATI's shortsightedness that we are in the situation we are in. They should have ramped up production to address demand 8 months ago.

There are lots of apps like Instagram. No great loss. Plastic Bullet mangles photos on IOS just fine for me.

The best part of HP is their instrumentation business. This was spun off as Agilent. They still stand out in the market and are very competitive. Too bad HP forgot to keep innovating.

Too much curry. They need to work on the propellant mixture a bit.

I just learned that Allan Sandage died this weekend. He was a giant among astronomers and did a lot of work with the Hubble. Take some time and learn about him if you care about astronomy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Sandage

It would be interesting to also see a list of trending URL links. Would be nice to see the popular links as well as trending topics. This would give them the data to allow that.

One Word. Cintiq from Wacom. I used the 21" one for over a year. Got tired of my hand covering up the damn screen. I'll stick to a Wacom tablet and a screen. I want to see what I'm working on and not have to deal with digitizer accuracy issues and my hand and wrist covering up my work. I doubt anyone will get much precision using a finger. A Wacom is at least 2400 point per inch. A tablet using a finger cannot have that precision.
