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.

They are talking specifically about ARM cores designed by and licensable from ARM Holdings (the company), not other designs that don't use ARM's designs (like the Apple silicon).

Might it make sense for doctors or pharmaceutical companies, in some cases, to intentionally utilize grapefruit to increase absorption of certain drugs? Specifically expensive ones? Especially in the cases where the patients aren't prescribed other drugs that may interact with grapefruit.

Oh my god! Why such a long-winded product review/ complaint story with 65 upvotes? Jesus.

What's up with the letter spacing on that blog? It looks bad.

New comment by hank808 in "SoftBank sells its entire stake in Nvidia"

hank808 — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 16:53:26 +0000

Softbank has literally done this before. Several years ago, Softbank sold it's Nvidia stake and later regretted it to such an extent that Masayoshi Son expressed his feelings by crying. They're only selling Nvidia stock now to fulfill a prior giant cash commitment to OpenAI. Also, Nvidia is positioned to own a sizeable chunk of OpenAI.

You guys that continue to compare DGX Spark to the Mac Studios, please remember two things:

1. Virtually every model that you'd run was developed on Nvidia gear and will run on Spark. 2. Spark has fast-as-hell interconnects. The sort of interconnects that one would want to use in an actual AI DC, so you can use more than one Spark at the same time, and RDMA, and actually start to figure out how things work the way they do and why. You can do a lot with 200 Gb of interconnect.

It was on film, probably 35mm. That film contains more information than 4k video. Resolution is between 4K and 6K.

I wouldn't imagine that there would be many surplus H100s and newer and I think that's what people want to use.

On your dhcp server (probably your router/gateway), statically assign (reserve) the camera's MAC address to the IP that you want it to have. Sometimes called MAC binding.

And don't forget the folks building the servers like Supermicro, Dell, and HPE. Foxconn assembles some of the servers and could maybe be split-out as a "customer" also.
