Shacknews LoL

I came back after stopping a week or so into season 1, just to see how it felt.

I was shocked how much better it is now. I almost couldn't believe it.

But since they didn't meet expectation of 10.0000001 billion, their shares are down 10%

I have a feeling that at some point this LLM/AGI thing will hit critical mass and data centers won't have as much need for additional compute. I think at that point they'll basically have to be selling them on cost savings through energy improvements and making it make financial sense to replace their existing compute with newer chips. LLMs/AGI are really neat, but it's not the answer to everything. Any data scientist/ML engineer worth anything knows that you choose the appropriate model for the task that yields the necessary performance, in the vast majority of cases that is much simpler models. I'm sure there will be a race for a while, and a decent number of companies are going to try to get in on the action. But I don't think Nvidia can keep up the level of sales they've seen recently forever. The China export ban is also likely to hurt them, as that was ~25% of their revenue. They can definitely export less powerful chips to China in greater quantities, but I'm not sure how long that can last before a company can replace them with more powerful chips produced by a company in a country without those export limits in place, or just built inside of China itself. As I don't think China is generally too worried about reverse engineering other company's products and producing them for use/sale in China itself while ignoring any patents that may exist.

Sounds like a beast so cool to have 4TB in a laptop like it’s nothing now

X May Lose Up to $75 Million in Revenue as More Advertisers Pull Out

"X, the social media company formerly known as Twitter, could lose as much as $75 million in advertising revenue by the end of the year as dozens of major brands pause their marketing campaigns after its owner, Elon Musk, endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory this month.

Internal documents viewed by The New York Times this week show that the company is in a more difficult position than previously known and that concerns about Mr. Musk and the platform have spread far beyond companies including IBM, Apple and Disney, which paused their advertising campaigns on X last week. The documents list more than 200 ad units of companies from the likes of Airbnb, Amazon, Coca-Cola and Microsoft, many of which have halted or are considering pausing their ads on the social network.

The documents come from X’s sales team and are meant to track the impact of all the advertising lapses this month, including those by companies that have already paused and others that may be at risk of doing so. They list how much ad revenue X employees fear the company could lose through the end of the year if advertisers do not return."

Imagine a Diablo 3 remake in the Diablo 2 Resurrected engine and graphics style!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man I could think of some insane remakes!!!!!!!! Another one that would be insane is super mega HD 2D version of Super Mario 1, 3, World!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly the list is very long :)
