Pretty common to keep your shoes inside in France. It’s more common in houses with a hard floor than in apartments with a wooden floor, but there’s absolutely no standard so you usually end up asking.

I had the same question, that was what prompted me to click on the source link. No it’s sales from the US only. I also realized, that even if it was that would mean that the increase in spending is even more dramatic.

The actual issue I realized today is that those are sales from the US government, not sure if Germany buying from an American company counts. So I’m not sure it can actually be compared. This does not improve my opinion of that article. Misrepresenting irrelevant data is not better than just misrepresenting data.

This article is trash trying to sell you something that is not true and actually disproved in the article itself :

According to U.S. government data, Berlin signed off on more than $17 billion in foreign military sales between 2020 and 2024, hitting a $13.9 billion record in 2023, highlighting increased demand following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

So what this paragraph is saying that in 2023 Germany spent 13.9 billions, and about 800 millions in average for the other four years (and that’s consistent with the linked source).

So the “drop” to 6.8 billions is actually five times the spending from 2024. And it’s double the average spending from the last five years. Germany buys more American hardware than ever (except 2023).

If the pattern was real 1TB drives would not exist either, since they are about 1.1 TiB.

The reasons to upgrade from this GPU is to launch AAA games from the last three years, AI/ML, creative tools (3D, video…) or to save a few watt-hour. If you don’t care about that upgrading is just wasteful.

The networking part of Nvidia (based on Infiniband) was originally an Israeli company called Mellanox. They probably already have a large footprint there.

Used one for a few years and I loved it:

• it’s precise, you can really aim small UI elements
• It is paired with actual buttons, index on the nub and thumb on the buttons, so no weird gestures to right click
• It is very quick to switch from keyboard to mouse, your hands nearly don’t move

But, there’s no mouse wheel or scroll gesture and maintaining pressure on the nub is maybe more tiring than a trackpad.

“Gamers Nexus, on the other hand, thinks the issue is more deep rooted and originates from a foundry-level fault.”

• The GN piece makes it very clear that this claim is not definitely true but is a line of inquiry.
• Intel statement does not definitely exclude this hypothesis, the flawed CPU might need the lower voltage to work around the flaw.
• The obvious question this article does not address is what will be the performance hit for the patched parts?

That’s a bit annoying to see GN so grossly misquoted when Steve spends half the run time of the video explaining that they are not sure of anything at this point.

They make the grace arm cpu to pair with hopper GPU instead of AMD epyc and Intel xeon in data center products. They released a first version that replace these processors in their data center offering (formerly dgx). This is the announcement of the next generation of this offering Vera-Rubin will replace Grace-Hopper.

I don’t think they have announced anything about bringing this offering to the consumer space.

The CEO leased the jet from himself with company funds? How is that even legal? How can the investors expect to get anything from this company when the CEO is so blatantly sucking the company dry?
