Nearly 40% of Nvidia’s second quarter revenue came from just two customers, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On Wednesday, the chipmaker reported record revenue of $46.7 billion during the quarter that ended on July 27 — a 56% year-over-year increase largely driven by the AI data center boom. However, subsequent reporting highlighted how much of that growth seems to be coming from just a handful of customers. Specifically, Nvidia said that a single customer

How much would you have to get paid to spend any amount of time with Mark Zuckerberg? For some of the folks who have joined Meta’s AI team, millions of dollars simply is not enough. According to a new report from the Financial Times, the Meta AI lab is such a mess (and presumably, Zuck is such a bad hang) that recent hires have threatened to quit within days of joining, and promotions have been handed out just to keep people from leaving. FT points to Shengjia Zhao, Meta’s “chief AI scientist,”

Mushrooms have been used as medicine for many years, but nowadays, you don't have to reap these wellness rewards by cooking them. The potential health benefits of functional varieties have even led people to add them to their morning cup of joe.

The Google Nest Doorbell has been my video doorbell of choice, based on its snappy performance, sharp AI detection and free video storage. But its last upgrade, with only minor changes, was back in 2022. A new generation is long overdue in Nest's home security line. That's why I was happy to see reports about a new Nest line that's bringing major updates to products, from indoor/outdoor cams and doorbells to a brand-new smart speaker option. Gemini AI, with its conversational AI and other tric
Henrik Fisker once envisioned a burgeoning EV empire at the startup he named after himself, which was to be led by the Ocean SUV. But cracks started showing in that vision almost as soon as the Ocean hit the road in 2023. Fisker cut production targets multiple times, failed to meet sales goals and laid off staff. What’s more, its Ocean SUV was beset with software and mechanical issues, rendering it inoperable for some. Add troublesome brakes, sudden power loss and doors that wouldn’t open to th

Olympiads are international student intellectual competitions in which students from across the world go toe-to-toe answering questions in mathematics, physics, informatics, chemistry, and more.

It’s only been since June that Meta invested $14.3 billion in the data-labeling vendor Scale AI, bringing on CEO Alexandr Wang and several of the startup’s top executives to run Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). But the relationship between the two companies is already showing signs of fraying.

On Friday, the Social Security Administration’s chief data officer, Chuck Borges, sent an email to agency staff claiming that he was forcibly removed from his position after filing a whistleblower complaint this week accusing the agency of mishandling sensitive agency data.

Abstract Policymakers, public commentators, and researchers often cite the Nordic countries as examples of a socioeconomic model that combines low income inequality with prosperity and growth. This article critically assesses that claim by integrating theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence to explain how the Nordic model functions and why these countries experience low inequality. Our analysis suggests that income equality in the Nordics is largely driven by a significant compression of

The UK government continues to seek access to Apple's iCloud services, according to a new report, with its request to access people's data seemingly even broader than originally thought.

Just last week, President Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said that the UK and US had
