Time for my usual morning routine, pouring myself a cup of coffee and checking the stock price of the company "Nvidia" to find out if the entire economy has crashed

It'd be funny if Disney saw the video & was like "nuh uh! See, we still got it!" Still, I think Defunctland's read was spot on unless Olaf actually hangs around for more than a decade & gets some friends. Otherwise, it's just more of "give us a press release & coverage, then back to R&D it goes."

Wish it was clear from the article how much remote work is deceptively inflating the average here. I may be at home more, but my social life has if anything improved since going remote since I'm not spent from pointless transit commutes nor worried about trying to get to bed early to catch transit.

"Beegirl & Grungler" sounds like a great What A Cartoon! pilot or Kablam! segment from 1997.

It's wild that Tyler the Creator had absolutely savage bars about BoB & Hailey Williams due to this song, yet I feel like this being in the actual Wikipedia article is a deeper dig. Like, a fan wiki, sure, but this being in Wikipedia proper has gotta sting more than a throwaway diss.

Here's the thing: the problem here isn't that NVIDIA is doing circular accounting (necessarily), it's that receivables are growing and so is inventory, which makes people worried things are being shipped without payment. It could be fine!
I believed things were fine more before I read this memo.

I mean, it'd be even funnier if they didn't even realize they were doing circular accounting with all of these deals, so this was totally sincere on their part. It would really underline how much this is run by people who are way out of their depth given the scale of everything they're involved in.

It is wild to me that the largest company on the stock market, one with such incredible prestige and a huge PR team got dog-walked here. Why would you EVER give this ANY oxygen? Now everybody is asking whether NVIDIA is like Enron! This didn't help at all!
Nvidia refuted accounting questions in a memo to analysts, saying "Unlike Enron, NVIDIA does not use Special Purpose Entities to hide debt and inflate revenue" (Tae Kim/Barron's Online)

These companies are building data centers in places that may not even have power soon enough before the GPUs that are slated to go in them are themselves obsolete. A lack of attention and discretion in rushed deal making and otherwise ensuring every transaction is clearing is entirely plausible.

Oh, yeah, right, given your background, this kind of thing would be a code red for what ever PR people would be managing the fallout from this for Jensen, right? Where would they even begin to dig themselves out of a SNAFU like this?

I wouldn't even mind it if these items were actually lower carb, but it's usually like a gram extra per serving, then still otherwise has the macros of a can of Coke or a Snickers bar, yet costs twice as much. Pure marketing hype.

It's gonna be wild seeing the internal research from OpenAI that's in the same pocket is as what Meta buried. Lord only knows how many hundreds if not thousands or millions of times this scenario was replicated due to ChatGPT & the flaws inherent with low-resolution, scrape-everything DNNs:

Shoutout @beatskelton.bsky.social & @funky49.com for reminding me I have enough loose tracks & mini EPs to make a compilation album. Maybe I'll do that in December. Maybe something like this, but I bet I've got a couple of other bits that'd fit this I haven't added: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
