For dev info we'll need to wait for GTC 2026 March 16–19. CES is just hype.

More like the housing bubble peaked and with this fund managers have a way to save face while fleecing investors.

You forgot: - while Big Tech is subsidized with our taxes - and even if you get a GPU it will be too expensive to run it due to electricity costs (thanks to Big Tech) - and most people end up working for Big Tech's gig economy without

Interesting detail: 3060 is manufactured in Korea. And the recently acquired Groq is manufactured mostly in USA. Is NVIDIA hedging against Taiwan/TSMC problems?

I really, really want Intel to do well. I like their open oneAPI for unified CPU-GPU programming. It would be nice to have some competition/alternative against NVIDIA and TSMC. But I wont be investing time and money again on Intel whil

Weird, for me Spotify's algorithm is garbage. But the related artist list is good for discovery.

Agreed. But we should also stop enabling celebrities when they push popular agendas even if they are correct. For example, climate change.

Grace-Hopper and Grace-Blackwell. "Grace" is the integrated CPU+GPU architecture. DGX Spark is GB10 and it's allegedly like a small version of the server GB200.

1. /r/localllama unanimously doesn't like the Spark for running models 2. and for CUDA dev it's not worth the crazy price when you can dev on a cheap RTX and then rent a GH or GB server for a couple of days if you need t

IMHO DGX Spark at $4,000 is a bad deal with only 273 GB/s bandwidth and the compute capacity between a 5070 and a 5070 TI. And with PCIe 5.0 at 64 GB/s it's not such a big difference. And the 2x 200 GBit/s QSFP... why wo

For a while CPUs kept getting significantly faster every year. Then ram kept getting bigger. Then NVMe came along and brought 200-1000x IOPS. So writing optimized software was niche and overshadowed by the huge gains of hardware. People and

Occam's Razor: offshore wind requires a lot of rare earths for their magnets and whatnot. US military-industrial complex needs the little remaining global supply not under China's export controls.

Most of those groups were co-opted by Big Tech. I can tell from personal experience 20 years ago. In my case Microsoft and Cisco put people dedicated to the standard and we actual coders lost just out of ballooning time required for meeting
