FTA: As part of the announcement, Google said Nvidia will bring Gemini models to the company’s Blackwell graphics processing units, or GPUs. Companies can buy the chips through Google or other channels.

They invested heavily in GPUs PRIOR TO the increased tariffs.

In otherwords, "why are you a kid?"

An early part of the article mentioned "GDC" instead of "GTC." I lost confidence in the article at that point.

Non-story. They compared their solution against an RTX 3090 (two generations old consumer card).

DeepSeek has tens of thousands of the high-end Hopper GPUs. Most were likely bought before the embargo.

There are three earlier submissions of this article: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fnautil.us%2Fthe-rise...

Wasn't there also an anticommunist angle? Much of the sugarcane was being grown in places that were at risk of communist revolution and the US didn't want to be sending them money, I thought...

The NIC that has matters, in addition to the very large memory that supports much larger models than a consumer GPU. This thing has a proper ConnectX NIC.

The URL points to a YouTube video describing the software. The github project page is at https://genesis-embodied-ai.github.io/

We used to refer to this as a "cork file" back in the day.

This is a very well done mini-documentary about how Visa started, the unconventional thinker behind it all, the resulting struggles, and ultimately their success.

Late in the interview, I liked the bit about, don't be the smartest person in the room. There were other nice bits also.

I hope you find this interesting. I liked it.

Giz. Really?

I'd imagine that you could buy older Volta and Ampere generation servers, but not Hopper yet.

Nvidia calls it Omniverse. It's googleable.

That sounds really interesting! Can you cite any articles or anything?

I really enjoyed listening to this and hope y'all do too. It's best listened to as opposed to read.

I don't know the cost, but they supposedly did all their work in 3 weeks based on something they said in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_m-kN64Exc

From two weeks ago, "This Is the No. 1 City in the U.S. for Nightlife — and No, It's Not Las Vegas, NYC, or Miami"

Just fantastic!!! She was amazing! I'm so glad that they managed to get this digitized and released.

"...and you can write programs that will run on anybody's computer." https://youtu.be/AW7ZHpKuqZg?t=1694

Is this statement accurate? "Airhart Assist provides a combination of (car like) cruise control as well as automatic rudder control." If correct, does it do anything else?

I only read half of this, BUTT it CRACKED me up.

That's not how it works. They're Nvidia's chips. Would Foxconn go on and keep making iphones if Apple whatevered?

The fabs don't "license" the IP. They manufacture the product based on the designer's design and the contract's terms.

No
