Imagine this: you're trying to build a Linux-based appliance. You run up against some problem and Google is no help. So you go to some forum and ask how to solve it. Some smarty pants says "Figure it out for yourself! You want to stand on the shoulders of giants!" Um, no, I don't want to hire a gatekeeper such as yourself for a stupid amount of money to answer one question.

AI is the next stage in the democratization of information in the same way that Google and the Internet were to expensive universities, physical libraries, and books that may or may not be available when you need it. Welcome to the revolution.

And California, in it's infinite stupidity, will refuse to build such plants because it's easier to suck the Colorado River dry and who gives a shit about those other states who depend on it.

Reminds me of that real estate website commercial where the realtor keeps showing the couple one ranch-style house after another. It's still a PC running Windows. The same applies to NVidia's new machine. It's still Windows.

"Where are my engines Tory?!!"

"One's over in the swamp over there and one's over that-a-way on the beach."


Didn't they blow up a second stage during testing a few weeks ago? Two KABOOMS in such close succession?!!

It's a general rule-of-thumb that no business invests where there's uncertainty. Case-in-point: power plants in the US take years if not a decade or more to get going because of the bureaucracy and the fickle nature of politics. Why invest billions into a power plant when it will never get approved within the time frame of one administration and the next one will change the rules of the game?

So this suggests the stability of Taiwan for the next 5+ years. Then again, another way to look at it might be that Nvidia is effectively bribing China to leave them alone.

When did bsd.slashdot.org drop the red header scheme?

Wait, isn't everyone poking fun a Tesla for not using LIDAR? You mean LIDAR doesn't solve every vehicle navigation problem?

In case you were wondering, Spotify's new icon is actually a disco ball but you have to zoom in on it to tell. Otherwise, it looks like a bug which if fitting given that the latest CarPlay release has a significant bug in it.

All this nattering about licensing and we haven't yet had one comment -

But they have digital confirmation!

That just means our security was good. You little anecdote isn't actual data.

Regrading the "Killdozer" guy -

Those two things go hand-in-hand a lot more than I am comfortable with.

"Sounds like they're trying to make a ladies bike"
Wow, that's some 1pth century anti women on bike BS right there.

Ys, for a kid. an adult wants a pretend part because they can't get with the times is pathetic.

Imagine being so insecure you have to pretend to be using an older version of an engine? sad.
