    Wow. Plunge 4 whole percent.

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

    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.

          Those are really big drops for stocks. Like the general goal for a year is beating the ~10% growth that the S&P average per year.

          Swinging 2-3% is very volatile.

          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.

    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?

      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).

      We don’t have enough evidence to make that statement. We know the others also fucked people of age in addition to raping kids, so this is not inconsistent with that lot.

          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.

      Nvidia not only didn’t do that but went down an additional 4%.

      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.

      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.

    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.
