Nvidia has been powering the AI(ML) progress for the last 10 years and it's because they have the best hardware/software combo for processing vectors. There's nothing lucky about being continuously dominant in a space (GPUs)

It's possible, but the AI space right now is all about the vibes and even the French President isn't feeling it[0]. The job market for AI/ML people is white hot right now and this is something Mistral has to try to explain a

is it really HN worthy if one guy blocks another guy on X?

Mistral is in France though and the EU is throwing cold water on "AI" at the moment. I think this hurts them in the long run.

This is either false or just a shit show of a business. I’ve done work with several credit unions. They operate their IT just like any other business. The NCUA doesn’t make IT decisions for them.

TLDR: It was a mistake and they unblocked it as soon as they found out about it.

While it may be hard to see in first world countries, imagine being in a third world country and having a place you can store value that can't be debased by your crackpot dictator. That's huge.

Try it. Use your hand to hold your eye lids up and see what happens. edit* if you're talking about other means of persuasion, it's the same risk factor as if you had a PIN to unlock it.

Just close your eyes. The Face ID on an apple device won't unlock if you have your eyes closed.

How are you going to decide who doesn’t get any power after you reduce the output of the coal plant?

I can't speak to Venmo/Cashapp, but Zelle does take backs. It's for specific areas of fraud such as the fraudster impersonating a government official/agency, or things like fake not for profits.

Not for Zelle/Venmo/etc.. Zelle is for P2P (person to person) and FedNow is for A2A (account to account). There are no take backs on FedNow so it's not intended to be used for P2P. No take backs means no recourse for fraud

Harvard receives public funds from the government. Assumingly, if Harvard chose to no longer receive those funds, they wouldn't have to comply.

A GPU specializes in Vector math, which is what is used in gaming graphics. Hence the name Graphics Processing Unit and it's original use case. It just so happens that LLMs are powered by vector math much like graphics applications a

Ok, hear me out. Take Salesforce tower and convert the floors into shopping/office/restaurant/apartments. One building that I would never have to leave unless I wanted to. I think that would be awesome.
