Yeah. It seems a comment got it flagged from what the host of this video was saying.
Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt sees Nvidia as big AI winner: 'You know what to do in the stock market'
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said in a recent talk at Stanford that, while he isn't giving investment advice, Nvidia is the top beneficiary of the AI boom.
Schmidt said, in a video that was posted by Stanford this week and subsequently removed, that big technology companies are planning for increasingly large investments into Nvidia-based artificial intelligence data centers, which could cost as much as $300 billion to build.
#newsonleo #google #nvidia #technology #ai
Well worth the $300 billion investment I would say.
It will be. I cant even estimate the economic productivity that will come out of all that.
TikTok 'finfluencers' accurately called the AI rally, but credibility concerns dog them
Experts warned against trusting advice from these finfluencers, but agreed that they provide a first step to promote investing awareness among young investors.
Investing in equities can be a complex exercise, warranting specialized guidance. From where can one get that advice?
Some attempt to do their own research, poring over reams of financial indicators to identify potential winners, while others consult investment advisors and experts with years of experience in the market.

Meet the robot fish that collects DNA from the bottom of the ocean
Some 400 kilometers from the nearest sea, engineering students at ETH Zurich in Switzerland are hard at work on cutting-edge robots that could change the way the world's oceans are studied.
Eve, the robotic fish, swings her silicone tail from side to side, powered by pumps hidden inside, as she glides smoothly through the cold waters of Lake Zurich, where she is being tested by Surf-eDNA. This group of students has spent the last two years building a school of soft robotic fish, of which Eve is the latest.

This is what I am talking about. Imagine the data that comes from all the sensors tied to this machine. It has to be enormous.
How many minutes is remaining for the lions Den? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's party of my #technology updates 😂😂😂😂
129 minutes now.
HAhaha, I gat to get some numbers before then 🤣🤣🤣🤣..
Please I need some, you know what I take for inspiration 😉😉.
We are filling up the thread count. That is all that matters. We are seeing things moving ahead at a great pace. Do hundreds per day will add up.
Thats what we do for fun..
We count stuff. We are like accountants...or stock boys at the supermarket.
Let's count for fun 😜😜😜
Hello technology!
Good day sir. Feed #leoai and let it rip.
Ever hehehe...
Imagine #ai makes it possible for all humans to communicate directly with all animals 🤯.
anything is possible in today's technology world
#freecompliments
time travel? 👀 🤓 😉
That would be interesting to do. Not sure how that would be done, how to get the data but I dont deny possibilities.
Couple all of these ideas with quantum computing and it all gets mind blowing.
train ai with live video&audio feeds from zoos all over the planet 🤓
That would take NLP to a new level.
The understanding of life on earth and in general would hopefully get to a new level.

Astronauts trapped in space: NASA admits more serious failures than expected and reveals scenario
NASA announced this Tuesday (14) that astronauts trapped in space for more than two months are serious. It is worth remembering that they have been trapped in space for more than two months due to problems with the Starliner spacecraft.
The spacecraft had a series of technical failures, including a helium leak in the capsule, problems closing the thruster valves and a blackout in five thrusters during a maneuver.
Due to this problem, NASA claims that astronauts Butch Willmore and Suni Williams are hanging on by a thread, as the failures found are much more serious than expected.
#newsonleo #nasa #space
I'm scared by the authorities' lack of empathy regarding the situation of these astronauts.
If this type of problem has been going on for months, I imagine if it was something more serious and serious.
This way, they won't even be able to go to the Moon knowing that they won't have as much support from Earth.
Has anyone any experience with Smart Rings concerning counting steps, activities in general and especially paddling.
@jimmy.adames maybe 👀 or do you know anyone?
Nope 🙂↔️
No I am not familiar with this.

Astronauts on the International Space Station are testing construction methods on the Moon, mixing local materials to create cement in microgravity conditions
Astronauts at the International Space Station (ISS) are already keeping an eye on the Moon, even before they return there. Aboard the ISS, they are experimenting with cement mixing techniques that could be used to build habitable bases on the Moon.
This project is part of NASA's Artemis mission, which aims not only to take astronauts back to lunar soil, but also to establish a permanent base there.

California weakens bill to prevent AI disasters before final vote, taking advice from Anthropic
California's bill to prevent AI disasters, SB 1047, has faced significant opposition from many parties in Silicon Valley.
California’s bill to prevent AI disasters, SB 1047, has faced significant opposition from many parties in Silicon Valley. Today, California lawmakers bent slightly to that pressure, adding in several amendments suggested by AI firm Anthropic and other opponents.
On Thursday the bill passed through California’s Appropriations Committee, a major step toward becoming law, with several key changes, Senator Wiener’s office told TechCrunch.

Rivian launches smaller $1,400 camp kitchen, 5 years after initial demo
The Rivian camp kitchen attracted buzz from almost the moment it appeared as a prototype in 2019 at Overland Expo West.
The company launched Thursday a new reimagined and renamed — and importantly, smaller and cheaper — “travel kitchen” that retails for $1,400. And unlike its prototype predecessor, this one is available immediately. The travel kitchen and its related add-ons are part of Rivian’s broader push to establish itself as a brand aligned with outdoor enthusiasts — and make a little extra money in the process.

The defense tech acquisition spree has begun: Autonomous factory startup Hadrian acquires Datum Source
Hadrian announced they bought Datum Source, a software company founded by SpaceX alums that uses AI to help hardware companies find manufacturing partners.
Since 2020, Power has raised $220 million for Hadrian, a largely autonomous factory that mass-produces parts for space and defense companies.
While Hadrian has produced parts for major defense companies, it had to turn away some defense tech startups because startups have to rapidly iterate on product designs, meaning they need one hyper-specific part today and another design tomorrow. Hadrian, which was last valued at around $500 million, would have to constantly set up entirely new production lines, ruining the point of using its hyper-efficient automated factory.

Jeff Bezos’ brother’s firm has launched a debut $100M VC fund called HIPstr
HighPost Capital, a private equity firm run by Mark Bezos, Jeff Bezos’ younger brother, and PE veteran David Moross, has launched a new venture capital arm called HIPstr. And with it, fresh capital to invest in startups.
The new entity just announced its first VC fund of $100 million. HighPost Capital focuses on consumer companies and HIPstr aims to take advantage of dramatically lower startup valuations of the past couple of years, Bloomberg reported. The fund has already invested in half a dozen early-stage startups, including Wild Common, a liquor company started by Kylie Jenner, and After.com, a cremation services provider that raised a $10 million Series A round last month.

California AI bill SB 1047 aims to prevent AI disasters, but Silicon Valley warns it will cause one
SB 1047 has drawn the ire of Silicon Valley players large and small, including venture capitalists, big tech trade groups, researchers and startup founders.
Outside of sci-fi films, there’s no precedent for AI systems killing people or being used in massive cyberattacks. However, some lawmakers want to implement safeguards before bad actors make that dystopian future a reality. A California bill, known as SB 1047, tries to stop real-world disasters caused by AI systems before they happen, and it’s headed for a final vote in the state’s senate later in August.

Meta axed CrowdTangle, a tool for tracking disinformation. Critics claim its replacement has just '1% of the features'
Journalists, researchers and politicians are mourning Meta's shutdown of CrowdTangle, which they used to track the spread of disinformation on Facebook
Journalists, researchers and politicians are mourning Meta’s shutdown of CrowdTangle, which they used to track the spread of disinformation on Facebook and Instagram.
In CrowdTangle’s place, Meta is offering its Content Library — but is limiting usage to people from “qualified academic or nonprofit institutions who are pursuing scientific or public interest research.” Many researchers and academics, and most journalists, are barred from accessing the tool.

3D printing stalwart Formlabs confirms ‘small number’ of layoffs affecting around 40
The layoffs occurred in waves over the past two years, and as recently as the last few weeks.
Formlabs on Thursday confirmed that it has laid off a “small number” of employees, TechCrunch has exclusively learned. The 3D printing firm says the figure amounts to less than 40 of a total headcount of just under 750 employees.
#newsonleo #technology #3dprinting #layoffs
Maybe they laid off that 5% or so of employees due to redundancy of the positions? I call that pulling an @elonmusk. He don't like redundancy!

#technology #dailydook #pepe 🦁💩🐸📰
That is true. Companies do get fat.
I do have to wonder, however, with all the layoffs in tech, if they are figuring out ways to automate these people out of jobs. We will never know of course but it does seem like we are seeing them get away with a lot fewer workers.

NASA and Rocket Lab aim to prove we can go to Mars for 1/10 the price
With EscaPADE, Rocket Lab is gearing up for its most daring spacecraft mission yet.
A pair of Rocket Lab-made spacecraft are about to embark on a two-step journey. The first step is the 55-hour, 2,500-mile stretch from California to the launch site at Cape Canaveral. The second step? Just 11 months and 230 million miles to Mars.

They may even have a lower cost, but without a doubt the first to achieve this trip will be SpaceX.
Are you ready to go to space?
I'm nothing. LOL
If I only go in a few years hahaha... Psychologically I'm not ready even though that would be a dream for me.
And you?
Nah. At this moment, it doesnt interest me in terms of exploration.
A weekend at a space hotel could be cool though.
Taking some time at the hotel and relaxing is a good idea.
The Slow-Burn Nightmare of the National Public Data Breach
Social Security numbers, physical addresses, and more—all available online. After months of confusion, leaked information from a background check firm underscores the long-term risks of data breaches.
Data breaches are a seemingly endless scourge with no simple answer, but the breach in recent months of the background-check service National Public Data illustrates just how dangerous and intractable they have become. And after four months of ambiguity, the situation is only now beginning to come into focus with National Public Data finally acknowledging the breach on Monday just as a trove of the stolen data leaked publicly online.

Amazon’s troubled drone delivery program faces latest challenge in Texas: Annoyed residents
Amazon is seeking FAA approval to expand its drone delivery service in College Station, Texas, but many residents aren't too happy.
On a recent weekday morning, John Case heard a familiar buzzing outside his quiet suburban home in College Station, Texas. He recognized it immediately as one of Amazon's Prime Air drones, whizzing by on its delivery route to unload small packages of batteries, vitamins and dog treats.
"It sounds like a giant hive of bees," Case, a semi-retired orthodontist, said in an interview. "You know it's coming because it's pretty loud."

At Google’s gadget launch this week, it took almost half an hour before Google actually talked about its new gadgets. There’s a lot to be excited about inside the new Pixel 9 lineup and the Pixel Watch 3, but Google’s event made its true priorities clear. AI matters more to Google than Pixel, more than Android, more than just about anything.

This is very interesting:
Anthropic just announced a game-changer for their API: Prompt caching.
Think of prompt caching like this: You're at a coffee shop. The first time you visit, you need to tell the barista your whole order. But next time? Just say "the usual."
That's prompt caching. Here's why it's a big deal...
It makes it cheaper and faster to call any large prompt components that you reference over and over again.
Specifically? Up to 90% cost reduction. 85% faster responses. Use cases are wild.
Think:
•Cheap conversations with chatbots that have encyclopedic knowledge
•Coding assistants that can efficiently read your entire codebase
•AI that can discuss entire books at crazy low latencies and costs
It means a bunch of AI-powered apps that were previously too expensive to run just became viable.
