    News Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 Super pricing leak - expect reinvigorated $599, $799, and $999 offerings

    That's top price for gpus that are short on RAM today, and are prone to break, with cracks and burn connectors. Money is supposedly buy quality, reliability, and long life. The 4070 Super comes with 12Gb, when 12 gb was insufficient months ago, and is not going to be usable next year.

    News Mickey Mouse and Darth Vader Smoking Pot: AI Image Generators Play Fast and Loose with Copyrighted Characters

    AI will be great the day it starts being able to create new characters like Mickey. Not just by being able to draw it. Creating new characters require being able to extrapolate knowledge. Today AI is merely capable of interpolating.

    News Intel's CEO says Moore's Law is slowing to a three-year cadence, but it's not dead yet

    Those are independent things. The heat per transistor, and the number of transistors needed to do the same work. Multivalued logic needs less transistors, and less layers of transistors for the same functionality.

    News Intel's CEO says Moore's Law is slowing to a three-year cadence, but it's not dead yet

    On the other side, if you have 1 transistor doing the work of 2, it produces half the heat. Also a multivalued transistor can replace multiple layers of binary transistors, so it can do more work on less clocks. Besides, high frequency have diminishing returns, due to heat, so reducing the...
