Eh?
There's a supply capacity crunch and obviously NVidia are going to heavily prioritize manufacture of the more profitable cards. That's basic capitalism for you.
But they don't half-arse CUDA on consumer cards.You get a different mix of functional units, but the code still runs fine. If you think a consumer card cuts it, they'll take tour money for one.
It wasn't me, it was my AI that went rogue! Opps, my bad. So, we're good now, right?
I saw a bit of the briefing and Duffy talked a bunch about Congress needing to appropriate them more money so "Trump can build" a more modern network, before he leaves office, 'cause the current system is old and this is a "National Security issue" (sound familiar), etc. He's not wrong about some of that, but
Has he done anything Elon Musk has not also done?
I ain't seen him sieg heil yet
But that is not what Google is referring to. They are saying that schools cannot have the normal search without the AI hallucinations. Also, if AI is meaningfully involved with Google's traditional search results, then that only serves to explain why they are so shit now. But most importantly, this argument is the one that Google wants us to have, and it is bullshit.
The schools are not, in general, making a moral objection to AI. They are making a practical one, where they do not want the students exposed to a chatbot while a human is trying to teach them something sans hallucination. Having a discussion about whether the traditional search results have any AI in them is fundamentally disingenuous, which is why I am 0% surprised to see you engaging in it.
Okay, what engineer sent out a BGP message claiming a hop count of 1 to 0.0.0.0 and routed the entire Internet through his workstation this time?
Aside from some "Office 363" jokes
We had that joke today on Teams.
Other employee: Looks more like Office 364
Me: I think it's more like Office 363 now
Assorted smiley reaccs ensue.
Some entity will need to lose serious money before anything will happen. And when something does, it will be regulated lock-in, not a return to a diverse email system.
Either thing would be better than this. This is fucking chaos.
I hope they didn't sign their name. They have all effectively said that fundamental compliance and reporting rules around conflicts of interest internal to the company should be ignored. There's few things that in an office situation could warrant an instant dismissal but this is actually one of them.
He slept with three other women who were not his wife. That's three "mistakes". Three strikes and you're out.
If you can't honor your marriage contract, what business contract are you also going to violate?
That wasn't his mistake. His mistake was purely business contractual. He didn't disclose employee relationships in a conflict of interest register to the board. It's not against any corporate rules to sleep around, and no one gives a fuck about marriage contracts. He directly violated company rules.
*was an employee.
he also sits on the board
Consider yourself corrected: https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/... He is no longer a member of the board (not that that makes anyone immune from anything). Board members are just as easy to fire as CEOs, give or take one vote.
he still controls a huge amount of shares in the company
You can be corrected there too. He owns 3.5% of the company with no dual-class voting structure, which is to say he controls fuck all. I mean if anything he's Blackrock's bitch since they own closer to 10%. This isn't Meta we're talking about. Jensen Huang is an employee, not a dictator.
Too many coincidences.
This isn't a coincidence. This is snowball reporting. None of this happened at the same time, it just was uncovered at the same time due to the incredibly attention he was getting. Turns out if you're a womaniser and someone starts digging then a whole lot of "coincidences" appear. File this one under "N" in the library for no-shit-sherlock.
But being involved in corporate espionage is a whole new level of stupidity.
Actually that's the least problematic thing here. If you think you're immune to a nation state spy operation then you're delusional. The truly stupid thing he did was sleep with his direct reports without reporting them internally to the board on a conflict of interest register. The spy thing is sort of irrelevant as far as corporate governance goes.
but I have resources
LOL my friend you do *not* have the resources being debated here. If you did you wouldn't be on Slashdot, you'd be on the cover of TIME magazine.
Even if SpaceX's peak launch rate of 3 per day is sustainable, a single data center would still take well over two decades to build.
Don't forget to account for attrition -- satellites are known to stop working and/or decay out of orbit over time. In the worst case, SpaceX could start losing satellites faster than they can replace them. But even in the "everything went exactly as planned" case, having an orbiting array of ten-to-twenty-year-old GPUs is probably not going to be the money-making asset people imagine it to be; it would be like trying to selling CPU time on a network of Pentium 4's today.
But realistically, you're more likely to see data centers in space powered by nuclear power than solar power, assuming politics allows that to happen.
What's the benefit of launching a nuclear-powered data center into space, over just leaving it on the ground and running it there?
How many more stories are we going to run about services no one has heard of shutting down? I mean I'm only a Mozilla customer, running multiple of their products, and this is the first I've heard of this product / service. Have they ever considered spending some of that Google money on actual Google adverts or some other form of basic marketing?
