That's not a workstation.
Re:Nvidia Nemotron 3 Ultra – open weight model on Saturday July 25, 2026 @03:51AM (#49045447)
That's from early June
When do you plan to open source the thing you benchmarked?
Re:Running local models is good now on Tuesday June 16, 2026 @07:33PM (#48563773)
Local models are good? Or are we saying that open source/open weights models are good? What I'm asking is, are they good because they are "local" or are they good because you can install and run them yourself, wherever you want? Same node, different node, different cluster, way out in the ether/cloud...

Those are already on the market. This was about the new thing coming to market, which is Windows support.

Vera only lives in the DC. It will probably eventually end up on the edge, but not for a year or so.
...and the Nvidia Shield.

Nope. 2000s would refer to the century. We're still in the 2000s and still early. The Wright brothers flew the first plane in the early 1900s. Accurate. Ford introduced the Model T in the late 1900s, inaccurate. 1908 was not the late 1900s.

I watched this until I saw the first down vote, 5 minutes later. Would anyone refer to the year 1909 as "the late 1900s?" Nope.

"...came to widespread attention in the late 2000s..." Weird. I thought we were all living in the year 2026, which seems like the early 2000s to me. Huh...
Ehhh. None of this sounds right. Translation problems maybe. Lack or technical detail understanding maybe... I don't know. Probably not news.
Re:It's time to talk about my writerdeck on Saturday May 23, 2026 @05:11PM (#48251574)
Nopes. I'm strongly suggesting that we already had a frigging word for these things, that's also still valid AF today, and it's "word processor." Not f'n writerdeck or whatever. Dumb.
Re:It's time to talk about my writerdeck on Saturday May 23, 2026 @04:23PM (#48251114)
You're not gettin' the point. There's nothing here if you think about it for 10 seconds. Any ancient anything, could run vi, or vim, or Emacs, or friggin' wordstar, natively or via emulation or WHATEVER. There's nothing here.
Re:It's time to talk about my writerdeck on Saturday May 23, 2026 @04:08PM (#48250972)
"Writerdeck' or simple word processor? They were first sold in the 1960s or 70s. Why? Buy, not build I'm thinking.
Full title, that wouldn't fit into the HN submission box: 'FULL SHOW: After "Late Show" ends, Stephen Colbert hosts Monroe public access show'
Steven Colbert apparently can't take a day off. This is great! If you like him, you'll probably love this video.
Oh good! Training your AI on the human interactions between people at a failed company will lead to success, right? Great!

Re:NIST scientists create 'any wavelength' lasers on Monday April 20, 2026 @06:38PM (#47841987)
No. A friend of mine worked at United Record Pressing. The majority of the masters they received from customers were commercial CDs. No special master.
iLearningEngines? I guess we're all familiar with them and have thoughts and concerns about them. We don't. We're not.
Nothing much here. WTF is this near number 1 on the front page of HN?
Re:NIST scientists create 'any wavelength' lasers on Saturday April 18, 2026 @09:30PM (#47821067)
Most records these days use CDs as masters, sadly.
