Nvidia's Huang touts 'full steam' AI spend while China uncertainty remains

Nvidia stock fluctuated on Thursday as investors digested the company's latest earnings report, which signaled robust AI demand but provided little clarity on China. Sales surged 56% in the quarter to $46.74 billion, which was roughly in line Wall Street's projected $46.06 billion, according to LSEG. The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.05, just topping the $1.01 per share estimated by analysts. The better-than-expected results were clouded by concerns over Nvidia's future in

NVIDIA is (really) profiting from the AI boom

NVIDIA has revealed that its revenue for the second quarter ending on July 27 rose 56 percent compared to the same period last year, and that's without shipping any H20 chips to China. It reported a revenue of $46.7 billion and a net income of $26.4 billion. As CNBC has noted, the company previously said that H20 shipments to China could have added $8 billion in sales to its second quarter figures. Instead, the company was only able to release $180 million worth of the chips to a customer outsid

Nvidia beats on top and bottom lines as company expects breakneck AI spend to continue

Nvidia reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue on Wednesday, and said sales growth this quarter will remain above 50%, signaling to Wall Street that demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure shows no sign of fading. The stock, which is up 35% this year after almost tripling in 2024, slipped in extended trading as data center revenue came up short of estimates for the second straight period. Shares pared the losses Thursday. Here's how the company did, compared with estimates

DJI's much smaller Mic 3 can record four subjects at once

DJI's busy engineering team is at it again with the creation of the company's third wireless mic system in less than two years. The new flagship DJI Mic 3 has a wholesale design change from the Mic 2 plus numerous improvements in areas like sound quality, noise reduction and the number of subjects you can record at once — though there is one downgrade compared to to the last model. I've had one for over a week so I'll provide some impressions as well. The most noticeable change with the Mic 3 i

Creating a qubit fit for a quantum future

A topological alternative For the team at Nokia Bell Labs, the solution lies in better qubits rather than bigger machines. Specifically, rather than information encoded in individual elementary particles, the team is focused on qubits that hold this same information in the way matter is spatially oriented—what is known as a topological qubit. This alternative approach uses electromagnetic fields to manipulate charges around a supercooled electron liquid, triggering the qubits to switch between

I took Gemini shopping with its new visual guidance on the Pixel 10: Here’s how it went

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority Google keeps giving Gemini more tricks on our phones, like a magician stuffing rabbits in a hat. On the Pixel 10 series, Gemini talks to apps, performs unreal voice translations, helps take better photos, and basically shows off its abilities every chance it gets. Visual guidance is also one of Gemini’s newest party tricks to debut alongside Google’s latest flagships. So last week, I grabbed my fresh-out-of-the-box Pixel 10 Pro XL and headed out for some retail

Nvidia CEO Says More Advanced AI Models Will Keep Chip, Data Center Growth Going

AI bubble? What AI bubble? If you ask Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, we're in a "new industrial revolution." Huang's company, of course, makes chips and computer hardware, the "picks and shovels" of the AI gold rush, and it's become the world's largest business by capitalizing on AI's growth, bubble or not. Speaking on Wednesday during an earnings call as his company reported revenue of $46.7 billion in the past quarter, he indicated no sign that the incredible growth of the generative artificial int

Researchers find evidence of ChatGPT buzzwords turning up in everyday speech

“This research focuses on a central issue in the discourse surrounding AI and language: are these language changes happening because we’re using a tool and repeating what it suggested or is language changing because AI is influencing the human language system?” said assistant professor of computational linguistics and principal investigator Tom Juzek. “By analyzing lexical trends before and after ChatGPT was released in 2022, we found a convergence between human word choices and LLM-associated p

The dual-screen gaming handheld wars have begun, and I couldn’t be happier

AYN Android gaming handhelds are still relatively new, but lately it feels like there’s a kind of renaissance. We’re seeing new form factors like the sliding ANBERNIC RG Slide and whatever the SUGAR1 is supposed to be, but finally, finally, we are getting to what I consider the holy grail of gaming handhelds: The Nintendo 3DS. Yes, the age of dual-screened Android handhelds is upon us, and several companies are rushing to take the crown. The SUGAR1 is disqualified for bending backwards, but se

Poll: Have you ever traveled with your portable projector?

If it feels like you’ve seen more ads for pocket-, backpack-, and even can-sized projectors lately, you’re not imagining it. Once a novelty, small form beamers are carving out a solid place in the mainstream market. Part of the appeal is obvious: today’s portable projectors aren’t the dim, clunky boxes you may remember from your school library. Brands are cranking out units with higher resolutions (even 4K), laser and LED light sources, and wireless smarts that make setup simple. Meanwhile, aut

Implementing Forth in Go and C

I first ran into Forth about 20 years ago when reading a book about designing embedded hardware. The reason I got the book back then was to actually learn more about the HW aspects, so having skimmed the Forth chapter I just registered an "oh, this is neat" mental note and moved on with my life. Over the last two decades I heard about Forth a few more times here and there, such as that time when Factor was talked about for a brief period, maybe 10-12 years ago or so. It always occupied a slot i

Microsoft Locks Down Building After Protesters Breach President’s Office

People inside and outside of Microsoft have been agitating for the software giant to cut ties with the Israeli government. As the war and slaughter in Gaza drag on, activists have increasingly sought to expose and condemn the software giant. This week, it appears that the company had to temporarily lock down its headquarters, as protesting workers entered the office of company president Brad Smith to conduct a sit-in. The protest efforts that took place on Tuesday were also streamed live on Twi

India is still working on sewer robots

More than 220 Bandicoot robots have been deployed in India, says Vipin Govind, head of marketing and communications at Genrobotics. The company’s reach, he says, enables “even resource-constrained municipalities” to deploy the technology effectively. Despite these technological options, a 2021 report by the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment found that there are still more than 58,000 manual scavengers across India. Independent observers say the numbers are even higher. The machine that J

GNU Artanis – A fast web application framework for Scheme

More seriously, Artanis is written using GNU Guile, one of the best implementations of Scheme language. One day, the folks at GNU were discussing what language they would write the GNU website in - and many chose Python. But I found that strange, because the official extension language of GNU is GNU Guile. And I wondered aloud - why not start a brand new project to provide a web framework written with GNU Guile? To which RMS said, "It's cool, I like this idea." But at that time, it was just an

Parents sue OpenAI over ChatGPT’s role in son’s suicide

In Brief Before 16-year-old Adam Raine died by suicide, he had spent months consulting ChatGPT about his plans to end his life. Now, his parents are filing the first known wrongful death lawsuit against OpenAI, The New York Times reports. Many consumer-facing AI chatbots are programmed to activate safety features if a user expresses intent to harm themselves or others. But research has shown that these safeguards are far from foolproof. In Raine’s case, while using a paid version of ChatGPT-4
