    News Intel's next-gen Nova Lake CPUs will seemingly use a new LGA1954 socket

    News Elon Musk’s xAI allegedly powers Colossus supercomputer facility using ‘illegal’ generators

    Natural Gas is 95% Methane so I suspect they are just burning the same natural gas everyone else in the city is using. Why the article says Methane is an interesting question. Did the enviros use it to make it sound more unusual and threatening or did the xAI people say it to "science it up"...

    News Nvidia Breakfast Bytes are now available at Denny's if you want to experience the 'breakfast of geniuses

    Just salt and maybe pepper in a little oil in a frypan. Slices browned on each side. I eat lots of tomatoes raw too, preferably with fresh mozzarella, basil and a balsamic glaze. Raw carrots definitely better than cooked.

    News Nvidia Breakfast Bytes are now available at Denny's if you want to experience the 'breakfast of geniuses

    Is that a "Full" proper breakfast ? Looks pretty good to me. Tried pan frying tomatoes for an attempt at the English breakfast and like them so much I now fry them regularly for other lesser meals. Mushrooms pan-fried in butter. Heaven.

    News Nvidia Breakfast Bytes are now available at Denny's if you want to experience the 'breakfast of geniuses

    The high protein component is not crazy high amounts (my target is around 1 gram per pound of ideal body weight per day) but a focus to ensure you don't lose lean mass. My body has plenty of naturally occuring fat sources right now but over time I will likely add more dietary fat sources. You...

    News Startup claims its Zeus GPU is 10X faster than Nvidia's RTX 5090: Bolt's first GPU coming in 2026

    In my Powerpoints the GPUs I'm developing will also beat NVidia products around 2028. My planned GPU will not be exactly 10x better though. 12.4 x better because with the new level of compute available marketers will no longer have to use such simple multipliers. The only tricky part is...

    News Lenovo joins growing China exodus as manufacturers flee US tariffs — OEM moving production lines to India

    You give the US President too much credit (or demerit) in this case. I think this story is about Indian market growth and Indian policy success. Those policy successes are the result of fairly similar tactics that the US is attempting to use. Incentives, Legal requirements. political...

    News Lenovo joins growing China exodus as manufacturers flee US tariffs — OEM moving production lines to India

    Was Lenovo saying they are closing their five Chinese plants to open one in India to manufacture all their PCs for sale worldwide ? That's how the headline and article reads but it seems more likely they were announcing that all PCs for the Indian market would in the future be made in India...
