Nvidia reported earnings on Wednesday, and as expected, the numbers were good. Really good. The company gets more than 91% of its sales from its data center unit, which generated revenue of $193,737 billion, up 68% year-over-year. “We have now scaled our data center business by nearly 13x since the emergence of ChatGPT in fiscal 2023,” Nvidia CFO Colette Kress said in the company’s earnings call on Wednesday. While very impressive, the number is not all that surprising given that global AI spending is expected to reach $2.5 trillion this year, and Nvidia’s largest customers, the major AI hyperscalers Amazon,…

The Yankees didn’t do much in the way of new addition over this past offseason. The most notable move they made was the signing of Cody Bellinger, but he of course already spent last season in the Bronx. In terms of new pieces, the most notable was the trade for pitcher Ryan Weathers.The son of former Yankee David, Weathers was coming off two solid seasons with the Marlins, but was far from a marquee acquisition. It mostly seemed like he was depth in both the rotation and bullpen. Well, you shouldn’t judge too much on one spring training game, but…

New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing Valve for “illegally promoting gambling” through the loot box systems it has built for video games like Counter-Strike 2, Team Fortress 2, and Dota 2, according to a press release. The attorney general seeks to “permanently stop Valve from promoting gambling features in its games, disgorge all ill-gotten gains, and pay fines for violating New York’s laws.”“This loot box model that Valve has developed — charging an individual for a chance to win something of value based on luck alone — is quintessential gambling, prohibited under New York’s Constitution and Penal Law,”…

Brunello Cucinelli’s fall collection raised the bar on what can happen “when imagination and artisanal knowledge work together, aligning to find solutions to achieve the very best,” as Cucinelli put it at a preview. It was less a tug-of-war between ingenuity and craft and more a well-rehearsed duet, “each side knowing when to take the lead and when to step back. It’s about fostering collective creativity.”The studio team and the artisans clearly considered “going the extra mile” a pastime for amateurs, so they carried on well past it. They indulged their creative instincts in a full-on parade of inventive textures…

It’s always a fun day for the space nerds when a NASA team has new images to share from the James Webb Space Telescope. Today’s pair has brains on the brain, with a look at the fittingly named Exposed Cranium Nebula. More officially, this cloud of space dust and debris is known as Nebula PMR 1. The images shared today may capture a moment in the final stages of a star, as well as giving hints as to how the nebula got its brain-like shape.”The nebula appears to have distinct regions that capture different phases of its evolution — an…

In San Francisco, it feels like OpenClaw is everywhere. Even, potentially, some places it’s not designed to be. According to posts on social media, people appear to be using the viral AI tool to scrape websites and access information, even when those sites have taken explicit anti-bot measures.One of the ways they are allegedly doing this is through an open source tool called Scrapling, which is designed to bypass anti-bot systems like Cloudflare Turnstile. While Scrapling, which was built with Python, works with multiple types of AI agents, OpenClaw users appear to be particularly fond of the software. On Monday,…

Google is folding in former moon shot robotics software company Intrinsic as Alphabet tries to streamline its ambitions in the space.After five and a half years developing its technology at Alphabet’s “moonshot factory” X, Intrinsic became an independent Alphabet company in its “Other Bets” division in July 2021. The Google parent company announced Wednesday that it will be folded into Google itself.While hardware like robotic arms has become cheaper, programming them remains incredibly complex, often requiring hundreds of hours of manual coding by specialized engineers that can vary based on the particular robot. Intrinsic’s flagship product, Flowstate, is a web-based…

At the beginning of the year, The Cut kicked off a brief discourse cycle by declaring a new lifestyle trend: “friction-maxxing.”The idea, in a nutshell, is that people have overconvenienced themselves with apps, AI, and other means of near-instant gratification—and would be better off with increased friction in their daily lives, which is to say those mundane challenges that ask some minor effort of them.Whatever your feelings on that philosophy, the use of “maxxing” as a suffix assumed to be familiar or at least intelligible to most readers of a mainstream news outlet is evidence of another trend: the assimilation…

Graduate of University of Delaware.Multiple Authors”Is this going to be a busy cycle?”It’s the question most asked of industry insiders around this time every year, as athletic directors, coaches, search firms and agents gear up for the college basketball coaching carousel. Normally, it’s easy to tell which direction the cycle is heading. Last year, there were five high-major programs already open when this story appeared, and 15 power-conference jobs changed hands when the carousel finally stopped spinning.Could we match that number this season? Kansas State is…
