Well, on the positive side - at least it appears there is someone in Trump's orbit who isn't a pedophile.

    Now hold on, how old is she?
    Does she look really realllllly young?

    Sorry, I'm just not ready to accept that even one of them isn't a paedo!!!

    She's in her 40s, and she looks like she's in her 40s.

    fair warning to everyone. Do not go on duckduckgo and search "Jensen Huang spy mistress" and click on images to see if you can see what she looks like unless you have safe search turned on. Idk what the fuck is wrong with DDG but the results are just a bunch of actual porn for some reason.

    They dropped a few percent.

    Wall Street has no morals, it only dropped on the fear that this MIGHT affect them making money. It will recover shortly and people will move on.

    "A few percent" is as biased a description for -5% as "plunged". I mean you can all it both but really both is making it sound smaller or bigger than it is.

    5% is barely more than a normal daily 2-3% swing on any stock that nobody would really even write an article about. Thursday it dropped 9%, a lot more significant than this 5% drop in the middle of an already negative trend for this month.

    It is double that. Anyhow 9% is a pretty substantial short term loss. Markets are nervous but still don't want to call the bubble for real it seems. Let's see if they find another excuse in short succession to correct the stock.

    Curious where this goes.

    It’s not just pillow talk about state secrets, in this situation she has leverage to ruin his family and cause billions of stock market losses to Nvidia, which he has a duty to protect.

    This was a highly exploitable situation.

    I mean a certain type of lady could absolutely be into a weird, dumpy, married billionaire.

    Or a certain type of guy, it's not a gender thing.

    If any lady comes up to me, a weird, dumpy guy, I am immediately suspicious. And I’m not even close to a billionaire.

    Women don’t show interest unless it’s a scam. Especially if you’re dumpy.

    This is assuming you notice she’s showing interest at all.

    His new wife is kind of, not attractive. I don't get it, his ex is a good person, and pretty. His new wife, I don't want to say she looks mannish, but it's more than that, she's not what would be considered attractive to anyone interested in natural beauty rather than plastic surgery.

    Wow. Plunge 4 whole percent.

    On other days this would be considered a "modest market correction", but today it is "plunge".

    The company is "worth" $4.3 Trillion dollars. Losing 4% of $4.3 trillion = losing $172 billion in one day.

    Also, based on how everyone else did today, they probably would have made $172 billion if this story hadn't come out today, therefore it's like they lost $344 billion dollars in one day.

    His buddies on the board (who own most of the company and therefore ate most of that loss) are probably pretty pissed at him right now, and also salivating at an opportunity to take some of his shares as punishment.

    If their spying iw any good, the real question is, seeing as AI has eaten all the nVidia and AMD video cards:

    When cheap Chinese video cards?

  • source

    The Chinese are already producing cheap video cards!

    The Moore Threads MTT S5000 came out this or last year and is apparently competitive enough with nvidia offerings for AI training and inference. I suspect the spy was from some other Chinese company, but it could also have been Moore Threads looking to catch up faster.

    There's also the MTT S80 which has been out for like 3 years, is cheap and has 16 GB GDDR6 (hey 3 years ago that was pretty decent still). Unfortunately the drivers suck so it's not great for gaming, or doing anything else graphical.

    Gaming is unfortunately kind of irrelevant to them, it seems. It doesn't really bring in money.

    If there are Chinese gaming video cards,imagine building RISC-V gaming pcs with them running all Libre software,standards and video games. (joke,maybe?)

    Steam's Frame has an ARM CPU. It runs x64 Windows games. I don't expect translation to another RISC architecture to be impossible.
    And gaming on an almost all-libre software stack is what I already do on my Gentoo with GPU drivers in the mainline kernel (got a 9070 XT).

    I think the whole honeypot thing is bullshit. Nvidia was selling GPUs to China via intermediaries. They all knew and now this is the story that's an attempt to cover up the fact they did it on purpose for extra profit.

    Everyone should assume NVIDIA cards are compromised now. That supply chain is fucked.

    This isn't in defense of Nvidia (not by a goddamn long-shot: I haven't bought an Nvidia product in 20 fucking years), but everyone should assume everything new enough to contain an IME or AMD PSP is compromised.

    Frankly, even if you stick with older hardware, the only way to be sure would be to build your own computer from scratch using discrete logic and then boostrapping your own custom C toolchain on it to cross-compile for your real computer in order to avoid the Ken Thompson hack.

    I have yet to meet a CEO of any of the companies I worked at that wowed me with their intelligence. I have worked at small enough companies to have directly worked with and spoke with the CEOs on multiple occasions. I know when I meet someone bright, and none of them have been it. What they have been good at is bullshitting and talking their way in and out of things. Having communication and coercion skills IMO are a great indicator of your ability to become a C-Suite executive. That and being willing to abandon most other things in life including your family. I guess my point is that the skills required to get into those roles are not always what you assume they should be.... and there is a reason you often find some of the most abhorrent people in said roles.

    I'm in game dev. Went to our CEO in 2004 and asked for a small 3 man team to do a prototype for a physics based mobile game. The answer: "There's just no money in mobile games"

    2009 Rovio released Angry Birds.

    The Angry Birds franchise has generated an estimated $9.54 billion. Which is pretty good, since there's no money in mobile.

    This was a culmination of a multi year millions of dollars project. There was probably a team of military psychologists reading every post he had ever made, researching his other affairs, a degree of hyper focus that almost nobody on the planet would be worth pursuing.

    There was an episode of darknet diaries about much more ordinary people getting set up like that.

    I don't feel bad for him though, that's life in the fast lane for ya.
