Nvidia has lost the hearts and minds - I'm not just not interested in or excited by anything Nvidia - there's a baseline expectation of their products being overpriced and aimed at stiffing the customer. An outcome of greed.

what's the better alternative, DIY AMD? No, thanks. I'm interested in the result, not the process. In terms of robotic software there is just nobody close. Any attempt to port it to different hardware will be just a big pain and limited result at best. So NVidia looks to be the way to go till China catches up.

for basic AI and inference mac studios with 512 GB of ram can be a good alternative

I feel like I am seeing same stuff every year for like half a decade Self driving cars? Simulations? Robots? What's changed?

It's all getting better though, especially the robots seem to be coming along.

Compare the Disney robots at the end of 2024 and 2025

Ah yes, a chat bot that is consistently failing to do such advanced tasks as counting letters in words is definitely life-changing, right next to the metaverse and NFTs.

Pointing out this one error is reductive and greatly simplifies the profound effect that LLMs (and research around them) are having across a wide range of industries, unlike the metaverse and NFTs.

Does that effect exist outside of press releases and stock price manipulation?

That's what everybody was predicting based on the memory technology and the pictures. I'm just glad to hear about DGX Station, though I doubt I'll be able to afford one.

I think most people (including me) were expecting 384-bit and ~400G/s. Can't believe they went with 256.

Based on the chip count in the promo picture it looked like it was going to be a 256 bit interface, but it'd be unfair to say that it was known at that point. I certainly wish it was better.

I mean it's a cool demo, but it doesn't really show anything meaningful

> glad to hear about DGX Station how much is it expected, my guess barely fits in 5 digits. Would be nice to have something in between Spark and Station. I.e. some desktop withing $20K.

well, "RTX Pro Blackwell" desktop and workstation version looks to be the answer for midrange. Some should be available starting in April.

oddly just bought one (5090) right after you posted this so not quite true

I’ve been trying since release with stock notifications and have barely had the chance to even try to add one to a cart.

Egg production fell because of avian flu, which the US has regulatory restrictions limiting the usage of the vaccine in agriculture compared to other developed nations. Its not an intentional crisis.

Egg prices didn’t raise because of a flu. Egg prices raised because the government asked for the killing of a hundred million of chickens - for fear of spreading bird flu. It may have been the right call, we’ll never know. Small difference, but important. Here, CNN is obscuring the fact that the chickens killed were not tested or confirmed to have flu, but some around them might have so they had to go too. https://ww…

That’s not why they cull flocks once one gets it. They cull the flocks because all of those birds will be dead in days anyways.

You seem to have somehow missed one of the most significant advancements in human history suddenly exploding out of the pages of science fiction and fundamentally altering our existence forever. Minor oversight.

Metaverse is changing the world. Just as you could see in this presentation - Data centers are first being built as digital twins in Omniverse and later in real world.

It is a profound change, but it will take time for significant number of digital twins being build. However digital twin is a CAPEX in a way. You build 3D model of your warehouse only once and then use it for years to manage operations, robots and everything else.

It means that Disney, company which is a CGI/movie/cartoon producing company(Pixar created OpenUSD format) can use the same tools and make physical robot walk on stage.

If the venue, where the presentation took place also has readily available 3D model made with OpenUSD in SimReady level of details, Pixar could just download this model to their cartoon tools and start training virtual model of the robot in the virtual model of the venue before the event and troubleshoot any issues with the program.

Isn't it mindblowing?
