The AI chip startup that could take down Nvidia
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=57907&nl=daily design
and organization of a chip’s components is called its
“architecture,” and certain ones are particularly well suited for
certain applications — graphics processing units (GPUs), for
example, have architectures that let them process images more
efficiently than central processing units (CPUs).

Twenty-five years after the release of the GeForce 256, Nvidia is
still the king of GPUs, and that has given it a major advantage in the
AI chip market — analysts at Citi Research estimate it holds about
90% of the market share and will continue to do so for the next two to
three years.

In the past few years, many of the 184 human resources companies on
the Inc. 5000 have had to navigate tremendous turbulence. A wave of
pandemic layoffs led to a 14.7 percent unemployment rate in April
2020, which, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, was the
"highest rate and the largest over-the-month increase" since it
started measuring the data in January 1948.

The Mute Spectacle of Bianca Censori - The New Yorker (No paywall)
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=57907&nl=daily]
I’m going to be straight here: I love celebrities. I love thinking
about them, reading about them, and writing about them. There’s also
little that brings me more pleasure than spotting them in the wild. So
I was giddy with anticipation when, while on a reporting trip to Los
Angeles earlier this summer, I made a date with friends to have dinner
at the Chateau Marmont hotel. The Chateau has long been known not just
for its celebrity clientele but for its ability to provide that
clientele with a space to convene without outside censure. (It is,
lest we forget, one of the spots at which the President’s errant
son, Hunter Biden, holed up for crack-cocaine binges.) Housed in a
French Gothic-style castle, on a hilly street just above Sunset
Boulevard, it’s a place where even a regular week night can provide
a lucky civilian with some choice inner-sanctum sightings.

Not long ago central bankers everywhere were jacking up interest
rates. No longer. In June the European Central Bank reduced rates for
the first time since before the covid-19 pandemic. In July
policymakers at the Bank of England voted to cut rates. Other central
banks, ranging from those in Canada and Chile to Denmark, are also in
on the action. Before long America will follow. On August 23rd Jerome
Powell, chair of the Federal Reserve, noted that “the time has come
for policy to adjust”. And as central bankers loosen policy, they
are daring to dream, for a “soft landing” is within reach.

Before the event, Ms. Justice shared with me her hopes for the

American people get to know Donald Trump in a little bit of a
different way. He’ll get to express his love for his family. I think
that’s going to resonate with American voters.”

close friends rose to 10 percent from 2 percent, which is upsetting
enough. Among high school graduates, the percentage rose to a
heartbreaking 24 percent from 3 percent.
