Maybe but I wonder if it's just moving capacity around. Anthropic is moving to Trainium[1], that will free Nvidia GPUs and allow AWS to rent those GPUs to OpenAI. [1] https://finance.yahoo.com/news/amazon-says-anth

It's for sure an intentional issue considering how long its been there without getting fixed. So obnoxious as well, it isn't somewhat louder, it's aggressively louder.

I was in a lovely meeting where a senior "leader" was looking at effort estimates and said "Do these factor in AI-tools? Seems like it should be at least 30% lower if it did." Like I use AI tools, I even like using them,

Honestly, the rumor mill surrounding Intel is actually very similar to AMD 2015-2016 pre-Zen (not saying that they will see the same outcome). I swear I have seen the same "x86 license is not transferable [other company] might sue them

Isn't that somewhat debatable? Originally they were aiming at much more (chromebook OS for example) but seems like they settled for Google Home only as their scope. Still a very interesting project, but that feels like a similar story,

Maybe you are right actually, I fact checked myself and seems like while there is a slight underestimate, it's still nowhere near the stock market returns (roughly 100%). Housing (34%): https://fred.stlouisfed.org/serie

I wonder if this isn't just a matter of inflation being under reported because it's an easy metric to game while revenue and profits from companies are not. In the US the official inflation figure between 2019 and 2025 was 28%, bu

Which would be a valid point if they were competitive with AMD but that's not the case right now. Not having competitive CPUs is what is killing Intel in the DC. Stuff like clear linux is sprinkles on the sunday, if you don't even

It baffles me how unreasonable some of the commenters are. Intel is trying to stop bleeding money and are cutting everything that's not core to their business. Side projects like clear Linux not being on the chopping block would be suc
