Yep, and with NPU’s being built into the client machines, AI is now down to the laptop/desktop level.
Think chatgpt without being online. Heck, they are even in smartphones now.
I have been in the industry for 30 years...The negative consequence of AI scares the crap out of me and it’s moving fast. The performance and power of the SuperPOD with the GB200 is amazing. They are just getting started.
Wow. Didn’t know they were that bad off. Reducing R&D is a REALLY bad idea in the space they operate in.
Yeah. they are cheap. useless, but cheap.
There isn’t going to be any real benefit from AI and no one is going to make any money off of it anytime soon.
Many, many moons ago I worked on computers from Hewlet-Packard that IIRC first started implementing RISC-V CPUs. They ran MPE-IX and HP-UX. They were sweet. That was back when HP was still a real technology company run primarily by actual engineers.
Loved working with MPE-V and MPE-IX. The HP-3000 line was solid as heck.
That was PA-RISC, not RISC-V (the latter is much later and came from UCB not HP).
Yes oil down big today as well. All due to the job numbers which imply a recession in the US. Along with that all week we have seen weak numbers from China.
Like their white counterparts, they're giving "you" what you want, cheap labor.
OMG...HP-UX. I came from a Novell then Windows NT background back in the day. Took a job at a company that ran HP-UX. Mad respect for the HP-UX admins as they had tons of experience with the OS but still referenced manuals every time they did anything of consequence.
They gave me admin rights and I said heck no I don’t want it!! Windows asks “are you sure”...Unix implies you know what you are doing. :)
Over the last week:
1. Japan’s stock market posted its largest daily drop since 2020
2. US unemployment rate rises to 4.3%, highest in 3 years
3. Starbucks, $SBUX, reports a 6% decline in store traffic
4. Intel, $INTC, erases one third of its value in 1 day
5. Amazon, $AMZN, falls on lower than expected revenue
6. 10-year note yield falls 40+ basis points in 1 week
7. The ISM Manufacturing Index fell to 46.8, its lowest level since August 2023
How is this a “soft landing?”
