Comment Money Scam (Score 4, Interesting) 29

Every time a state says new funds will go toward education (i.e. State Lotteries, State Road Tolls) they immediately lower the existing funding to the equivalent amount. In other words, if NM actually gets the $25b, they will quietly remove $25b from the funding for next year, and give it all to pork barrel.

Who else cringed by the statement "This would be an extraordinarily close and potentially dangerous pass-by for two objects in space traveling at thousands of miles per hour." ?

It does not matter how fact they are traveling. All that matters is the relative speed. There are no speed bumps, trucks, or rain to worry about. Why am I even bothering? I guess these are the same people who think that the vacuum of space will freeze you, or cause you to explode.

the actual production cost of $30 million as indicated by the tax writeoff stated value

The tax write-off can only be for part of the production cost, isn't it? You don't get to deduct the entire cost of the movie.

It's well-reported that WB sold the film below costs to Ketchup, and they paid $50 million for it.

Nvidia has been a pretty big supporter of open source projects for AI over the last half-decade or so. Many of the company's technologies are open source, most notably their open-weights model, Nemotron, and Dynamo, their inference serving and distribution framework. So it would be surprising to see them do anything to close off the Hugging Face collection. If nothing else, keeping it open is in Nvidia's own self-interest. The frontier AI companies themselves are all designing their own AI chips (e.g. OpenAI Jalapeno, Meta MTIA), which reduces the amount of Nvidia hardware they need to buy. Whereas smaller operations using open source models will inevitably pair those with commodity COTS hardware, which is where Nvidia reigns supreme.
