Nvidia Wants in on the Robotaxi Race

Nvidia is in talks to invest $500 million in the London-based self-driving car startup Wayve Technologies. Nvidia’s interest comes as the sci-fi dream of driverless cars inches closer to reality.

Him is a grueling and messy takedown of American football culture

There is a certain degree of body horror baked into American football that becomes readily apparent whenever players sustain gruesome, career-ending injuries on camera. For some, football’s overt violence is part of its appeal, and players are seen as people who have chosen to risk their safety in pursuit of fame and glory. Over the y

The Invisible Character That Cost Me Too Much Debugging Time

Maybe their browser cache is holding onto stale session cookies. Easy. Except it isn’t. You check the admin panel. The email is there: james.bond​@mi6.com . Looks fine. The password hash matches what the user typed in. Logs show the request hitting the system cleanly. No obvious anomalies. And yet, every att

Don’t Get Too Excited for That Nvidia and Intel Chip Just Yet

What’s the point of competition anymore? Nvidia may still be trying to make its own CPUs. Intel could have beefed up its Arc GPUs around the corner. But now the two U.S.-based chipmakers plan to make SoCs, or system-on-chips, combining each company’s specialty. While we’re all curious about what this means for the future of PCs, you’ll need to wait a good long while to see what form the new chips from the new Wonder Twins will take. Nvidia is effectively netting a $5 billion stake in Intel, a d

How Energy-Generating Sidewalks Work

We walk here, we walk there, we walk everywhere. Maybe you’re headed to work or to lunch in a busy city. You’re expending energy, and the exercise is good for you. But what if, on top of that, we could recapture all that freely supplied energy and convert it to usable electricity? This is a real thing. Systems have been installed in dozens of countries. Check out this video. And why stop there? You could put them in discotheques and harness that fancy footwork to power the strobe lights. Or bui

These Are the 15 New York Officials ICE and NYPD Arrested in Manhattan

Police arrested more than a dozen New York state and city elected officials Thursday at 26 Federal Plaza, the Manhattan immigration court and an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office, many as they pressed to gain access to the building’s 10th-floor lockup, where recent court rulings—including a temporary restraining order—directed ICE not to cram immigrants into overcrowded, unsanitary conditions.

Intel says Arc GPUs will live on after Nvidia deal

In the future, Intel will make CPUs with Nvidia graphics inside — among other things , Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed today that Nvidia will contribute “GPU chiplets” that Intel can place alongside its x86 CPU cores instead of the Arc integrated graphics it develops in-house today. But, at least for now, Intel says that doesn’t mean Intel’s own graphics are going away. “We’re not discussing specific roadmaps at this time, but the collaboration is complementary to Intel’s roadmap and Intel wi
