Don't worry about AI taking your job. I'm don't worry about AI taking your job, so why should you, asks billionaire CEO Jensen Huang of Nvidia who got rich pushing AI. (Tom's Hardware)

To be fair, he made the right call, making Nvidia the most valuable company in the world, and that is his job. However, he is pushing his staff to use more AI precisely because if it works he won't need them.

I don't believe it will work, but he has to claim to believe it, because that is also his job. So one way or the other, he is lying.
Ex-Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger says quantum computing will pop the AI bubble. (WCCFTech)

This would spell serious trouble for Nvidia, because if quantum computing is effective, it would erase 90% of their market overnight.

Huang thinks that will take twenty years.

Gelsinger believes it may take as little as two.

Tech News

The Ayaneo Next 2 is another of those hand-held gaming devices like the Nintendo Switch or PlayStation Portable, only more so. A whole lot more so. (Liliputing)

It has a 9" OLED display with a resolution of 2400x1504 at 165Hz, which is not drastically more than (for example) the Switch 2's 7.9" 1920x1080 120Hz screen.

But it also has an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, the same CPU powering the recent raft of $2000 home AI computers. 16 CPU cores and 40 graphics cores, packed into a handheld.

Price not given but I expect it to be a lot.
M3 MacBook Air's Front Sharp Edges Were Too Uncomfortable For Its Owner, So He Used A Sandpaper To Smoothen Them Out, Followed By Some Polishing (WCCFTech)

Smoothen?
The only drawback to smoothening the sharp edges of the M3 MacBook Air is that the polished area is prone to oxidation, but nothing like a simple wiping job will do the trick.
Smoothen.
A major AI conference has been flooded with papers "peer-reviewed" by AI. (Nature)

21% of the "peer reviews" were entirely AI-generated, and 50% showed significant AI use.

Of the papers themselves, 1% were entirely AI-generated. 61% were at least mostly human work.
The latest Soyuz launch to the ISS wrecked the rocket's own launchpad. (Ars Technica)

Crew on the ground failed to secure a 20-ton service platform and it got blasted into the flame trench by the launch and wrecked it.

None of Russia's other launch sites can currently handle the Soyuz craft, which means that SpaceX may have to save the day yet again.

23 Example of bad AI guidance: i need a new electric cord for the starter on my snow blower. The manufacturer specifies a cord no longer than ten feet using twelve or fourteen gauge wire. Risk of burning up the starter motor (high amperage) with a long cord.

AI says I can use sixteen gauge (thinner) wire with an extension cord up to one hundred feet.

Posted by: Eeyore at November 29, 2025 04:44 AM (s0JqF)

26 @23 The burning risk would not be to the motor, but to the extension cord. Too much amperage would cause overheating of the wire. If you need more than ten feet, you use heavier wire and connectors.

"Minnie The Moocher" is based on an earlier drug song, "Willie The Weeper," which is in the more-or-less folk song collection The American Song Bag by Carl Sandburg. Sandburg was known for songs before he was a poet.

There is a charter high school here focused on the performing arts named for Cab Calloway, which is somewhat odd as he had no familial connection to this area.

There can be very much risk of motor damage due to too small a cord. It's voltage drop. The motor can't get enough voltage to get properly up to speed and torque, and just gets bogged down in a high current, low voltage regime.

In that regime, the efficiency is much lower and there is more heating of the windings. Energy is going to heat rather than mechanical energy.

Peer review getting flooded with AI-generated critiques would be yet another black mark against the myth that peer review, in and of itself, is the sine qua non of validating submissions to published journals.

Include the name(s) of the actual peer reviewers in the end notes of every academic paper, I say. Show how biased and corrupt the whole edifice is.

34 In terms of track record for making good bets on imminent technology, I'm favoring Huang. Gelsinger is still smouldering from the dumpster fire Intel continue to become when he came back to the company to run it. Much of the problems were beyond his control and started in the years he was away from the company but taking the CEO role means taking the blame for failed turnarounds. Gelsinger may have been better off staying retired from Intel and just being remembered as a major contributor to the 80386 design that secured Intel the dominant position in CPUs for decades.

The only thing I can think of is the software is modified to notice when the data corruption is occurring and do something based on that.

In other words, he knows Palin was never a senator; he's using her as a hypothetical example because of the way she was treated for her targeting /crosshairs PAC map. The "if she was/had been a senator" is implied. That's how ai read it anyway.

1) The presence of National Guard troops has objectively reduced violent crime in D.C. so it’s not performative.

2) Even if you disagree with the policy, that is clearly not the reason for yesterday’s attack. Someone committed to carrying out such an attack would have found a target regardless if the national guard was deployed or not. In fact, their presence likely reduced the amount of harm this particular attacker did as others were able to heroically respond almost immediately.

And the one who used her comb to eat a salad because a staff member hadn't provided her an eating utensil.

89 I think Trump genuinely cares about people , so I am sure he called the family of the young woman NG member who died to express his condolences. as well as the other young man who is still in the hospital. (?)

90 85 And then what happened?
——

It was watching an NCOs career go up in smoke in real time. We all lined up to have our serial numbers verified. Sarge was mortified. We did the performative thing busting through the woods looking for it for a day or two, but everyone knew it was stolen.

I don’t know what ever happened to them or their careers.

91 Good morning! Reading about the Airbus/Thales buffoonery. It seems that solar flares are the new glowbull warmening...

92 Evening and morning to the Saturday toilers and early-to-risers! 'Tis the third of a four-day weekend (for some). Oddly, I slept over seven hours last night. Somebody knocked lightly, like a bump, on the front door at about four am; I don't think I dreamed it, because I was awake enough to see Stirling react to it too. When it gets light in a few minutes I'll go out and see if somebody stuck a note on my door. (It wouldn't be the management of this dump. They wouldn't be working on a weekend, let alone at four am.)

smoothen
verb [with object] mainly Indian English
1 give (something) a flat, regular surface or appearance

And that, I think, answers the question in our minds.

93 I’ve often wondered how it worked out. Sarge kept his rifle in his sleeping bag with him. He secured the weapon as best as possible, I guess. Except, it wasn’t his assigned weapon. End of story probably, he lost his rifle. Private snuffly had his rifle stolen, except it really wasn’t.
