hank808··on It looks like 'Big Short' investor Michael Burry nailed bet against chip stocks
Dumb
hank808··on PoE2 devs convinced Nvidia to fix a driver bug by sending it a PC
Spoiler: Not about Power-over-Ethernet Type-2
hank808··on ASRock Rack 4U16X-GNR2 Nvidia HGX B300 8-GPU Server Review – ServeTheHome
That's not a workstation.
hank808··on Nvidia Nemotron 3 Ultra – open weight model
That's from early June
hank808··on Balder v7 – 100% on SWE-bench Verified on a single RTX 3060
When do you plan to open source the thing you benchmarked?
hank808··on Best Investments over the Last 100 Years? Almost All Are Tech Companies

hank808··on Running local models is good now
Local models are good? Or are we saying that open source/open weights models are good? What I'm asking is, are they good because they are "local" or are they good because you can install and run them yourself, wherever you want? Same node, different node, different cluster, way out in the ether/cloud...
hank808··on Nvidia DGX Station for Windows
Those are already on the market. This was about the new thing coming to market, which is Windows support.
hank808··on Nvidia Vera–The CPU for Agents [video]
Vera only lives in the DC. It will probably eventually end up on the edge, but not for a year or so.
hank808··on Nvidia Vera CPU Benchmarks: Olympus Cores Delivering Great Performance
...and the Nvidia Shield.
hank808··on He Lost It at the Movies
Nope. 2000s would refer to the century. We're still in the 2000s and still early. The Wright brothers flew the first plane in the early 1900s. Accurate. Ford introduced the Model T in the late 1900s, inaccurate. 1908 was not the late 1900s.
hank808··on He Lost It at the Movies
I watched this until I saw the first down vote, 5 minutes later. Would anyone refer to the year 1909 as "the late 1900s?" Nope.
hank808··on He Lost It at the Movies
"...came to widespread attention in the late 2000s..." Weird. I thought we were all living in the year 2026, which seems like the early 2000s to me. Huh...
hank808··on Norway's 2 petabytes of Huawei flash storage and LLM training
Ehhh. None of this sounds right. Translation problems maybe. Lack or technical detail understanding maybe... I don't know. Probably not news.
hank808··on Time to talk about my writerdeck
Nopes. I'm strongly suggesting that we already had a frigging word for these things, that's also still valid AF today, and it's "word processor." Not f'n writerdeck or whatever. Dumb.
hank808··on Time to talk about my writerdeck
You're not gettin' the point. There's nothing here if you think about it for 10 seconds. Any ancient anything, could run vi, or vim, or Emacs, or friggin' wordstar, natively or via emulation or WHATEVER. There's nothing here.
hank808··on Time to talk about my writerdeck
"Writerdeck' or simple word processor? They were first sold in the 1960s or 70s. Why? Buy, not build I'm thinking.
hank808··on Full Show: After "Late Show" Ends, Stephen Colbert Hosts Monroe [video]
Full title, that wouldn't fit into the HN submission box: 'FULL SHOW: After "Late Show" ends, Stephen Colbert hosts Monroe public access show'
hank808··on Full Show: After "Late Show" Ends, Stephen Colbert Hosts Monroe [video]
Steven Colbert apparently can't take a day off. This is great! If you like him, you'll probably love this video.
hank808··on Failed Companies Are Selling Old Slack Chats and Email Archives to Train AI
Oh good! Training your AI on the human interactions between people at a failed company will lead to success, right? Great!
hank808··on 5x5 Pixel font for tiny screens
Very cool for anyone with flawless eyesight!
hank808··on NIST scientists create 'any wavelength' lasers
No. A friend of mine worked at United Record Pressing. The majority of the masters they received from customers were commercial CDs. No special master.
hank808··on Ex-CEO, ex-CFO of iLearningEngines charged with fraud
iLearningEngines? I guess we're all familiar with them and have thoughts and concerns about them. We don't. We're not.
hank808··on NIST scientists create 'any wavelength' lasers
Most records these days use CDs as masters, sadly.
hank808··on Nvidia should be 'shaking in their boots' as quantum computing battles AI GPUs
No.
hank808··on Is Nvidia [stock] Worth 400% More? (video)
From "The Information."
hank808··on Nvidia Nemotron-3 Super AI model [video]
I love this guy!
hank808··on Netflix Prices Went Up Again – I Bought a DVD Player Instead
Austin Texas has an operating video rental store. They have an amazing collection: https://www.weluvvideo.org/the-collection
hank808··on Apple approves driver that lets Nvidia eGPUs work with Arm Macs
"Nvidia." Not NVidia or nVidia, or the other ways. I feel that I can frequently figure out if someone is going to express a negative view about this company based only on whether they picked a weird way to write their name.
hank808··on Nvidia will only produce one 88-core Vera CPU model
FTA: "...which enables Intel to keep three of them for redundancy and get decent yields with an 88-core part."

This must be a typo, right? I don't think Intel is the fab or involved in this CPU at all.
