@rohanpaul_ai „Covid19-pneumonia“ though..🙄
Diagnostic skills of AI impressive beyond doubt, but even thise they can’t differentiate the type. „pneumonia“ would have been just as accurate but probably wouldn’t have gotten the same funding..

🦔 H100 GPUs that cost $40,000 new are now selling for around $6,000 on eBay, an 85% drop. The math on why is straightforward: it costs about 11x as much to run an H100 for inference as a B300. Anyone running H100s needs to charge dramatically more than competitors on newer hardware.

Upgrading isn't simple either. At a $50,000 price tag for a B200, it takes about 33 months to break even on the upgrade from an H100. And the B300s are already making B200s less attractive.

My Take
I've been covering the depreciation problem in AI infrastructure for a while now. Companies are booking these GPUs on five to six year depreciation schedules when Nvidia releases new generations every two years. Michael Burry flagged Big Tech lengthening depreciation timelines as suspicious because it hides the real losses. A hedge fund manager I wrote about found that industry insiders estimate actual component lifespans at 3-10 years, but the economics don't work at any of those numbers.

The hyperscalers are sitting on hundreds of thousands of GPUs that lose value every time Nvidia announces something new. David McWilliams called them "digital lettuce" because they go stale while you're still installing them. The difference between what the books say these assets are worth and what you could actually sell them for is enormous. At some point that gap has to be reconciled. H100s selling for 85% off on eBay is a preview of the writedowns coming to earnings reports.

An Amazon Prime Air delivery drone crashed in Richardson, TX, on Wednesday after it apparently hit a building.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating, and in a statement to CBS News Amazon said that they "apologize for any inconvenience and are actively investigating the cause of this incident.”

The working actuators don’t match the elements emerging from the endoscopic tube @ the beginning. Impressive precision machining & engineering though, and the more procedures (telesurgery) the system gets to observe, the quicker it will grow its autonomy.

Impossible to build just 12 months ago, @FarsoonAM manufactured our hypersonic precooler last October. Standing more than 1.5m high (5ft), it is one of the most complex, probably THE most complex metal-printed part ever created. Noyron allows us to engineer these objects, but it takes intense collaboration to push the limits of the production process, and encode the real life constraints into to our Computational Engineering Model. Shown last at Formnext in Germany, you will now be able to see at TCT Asia in Shanghai (March 17-19).

😂BS - Switzerland's politicians still haven't grown a backbone, so they're just reducing the amount of jets they get for paying the same amount of money. Mr. A. Rösti is involved, and these cucks still leave the possibility open to buy more overpriced gear which is incompatible with the Swiss topography by 2032 and later.
Production of 9 jets for Switzerland has started in the US, but following Swiss and recently US tradition, things will drag out. Still room for plenty of comedy and delay, fear not! 🍿🍿🍿

Fully agree too, my man - the relentless deconstruction of values and traditions of the West to break, "depulp" communities and make them purely reactionary was the recipe, and it worked. Those waiting for "back to normal" will be baited and disappointed again and again. "They" have not yet encountered limits and/or substantial backlash in this game of moving goalposts. It doesn't seem sustainable, tho. It feels like the chaos of a final decomposition, a still growing fire that will eventually consume its substrate.
You'll be able to trade your resistance for the drug of ever increasing levels of virtual comfort, but you'll eventually grow oblivious to it.
Ironically, at the same time there's this fractal, fascinating plethora of revolutionary possibilities - noone knows where exactly all these phase transitions will lead us, except through transitory violence.
Unplug to recover ("touch grass"), then dive in again - always grounded in the uniqueness of the human condition and genuine exchange of ideas, aware of the fact that they're using fear and blunt trauma to shape us into a uniform mass.
Trying to hold on too much will make us lose it all. The comfort of "security" is only apparent - life is daily change and evolution, and we must embrace it, learn to navigate the flow.
I'm not overtly pessimistic, tho:
I still trust in the human condition as I keep encountering individuals who diagnose all this correctly and offer "therapy" without expecting anything in return. Brilliance emerges when you least expect it, motivates others, crystallizes visions and passionate collectives which absorb each other's fears with humor and genuine compassion, which grow organically, resiliently. I don't know where all this is going, but worrying seems pointless: If the worst fears materialize, it's over anyway - but even greed leads down different paths, and grinding everything down to nothing just makes no sense, is too impractical.
Let's embrace the unexpected outcome of a dialogue, the transitory pain of losing part of yourself to learn and find a new you. It's disorienting, sure, but one thing it won't be for sure: Boring.
Happy new year & love to y'all, let's just go out and pummel them with love and irony. Important things are simple.

🤖 Three Japanese innovators just proved that the future of robotics can be printed — not assembled. 🇯🇵✨

I find this incredible. Japan has always led the world in robotics, but this breakthrough feels different — more creative, more human.

A team of three brilliant minds has built a fully functional 3D-printed robotic system, rethinking everything from the gears to the frame. The result? Robots that are lighter, faster to produce, and easier to customize than ever before.

What fascinates me is how this blends engineering and imagination — where design isn’t constrained by parts, but shaped by possibilities.

This could change how we build robots, how we teach automation, and how quickly we bring new ideas to life.

Would you trust a 3D-printed robot to work alongside you?
