  • Apple could spend $5B on servers to catch up in AI race

    My question is whose AI training chips are they going to use? Are they going to adapt from currently existed chips, design a new series, or simply purchasing from NVIDIA?
    Nvidia hopes/plans that you will be buying those barn burning chips/systems from them, of course you’ll have to do all of the real integration into your operating system/server farm depending on how you wanna work it, as long as you paid them and the power company they don’t care.
    That's the fourth instance of "barn burner" you've used incorrectly. You should look it up before your next post.

    Apple could buy Nvidia, for its current value of $1 Billion.
    LOL — You missed several zeros, genius.

    So hang on.  It’s WORSE than Apple Pencil 2 in every way?  Am I missing something?
    Yes, you’re missing that it’s only $79, compared to the $129 of the 2nd gen. You get to choose, it’s not replacing the 2nd gen.
    The 2nd gen pencil dips down to $89 on occasion, which still keeps it in the running. I'd be looking for Black Friday deals if you're making a price based decision. Of course now that the new version is out it may dip even lower, perhaps to $59 or so.

    I got the AP2 when it was at the $89 price point and I'm still trying to like it, but it's still more of a novelty for me than a go-to tool. I've been trying for a very long time to find an electronic replacement for my numerous notepads, but nothing so far has felt natural enough to give the old paper & pen the boot. Writing on glass, even with a nib that has some resistance, combined with the weight and delicate nature of an iPad or tablet of any sort has always been an impediment to me making the switch. Old habits die hard.  
    You could try one of the paper-like textured screen covers for iPad, like this one (which also comes with a pen-like tip):

    Do none of you people remember this article from a few weeks back:

    https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/09/30/apple-pencil-3-leak-claims-changeable-magnetic-tips-are-on-the-way

    They’ll likely reintroduce pressure sensitivity via dedicated tips, so that only the people that need the function will have to pay for it. 

    We’re all going to be ok. 
    That doesn't make any sense. How would the tip introduce pressure sensitivity if that functionality needs to be present in the Pencil itself, which it isn't? The tips themselves don't have any circuitry, nor is there any good reason to do it that way.

    If the above rumor is true, I'd say that would be a successor to the Pencil 2 that would arrive alongside new iPad Pros next year.

    Did this one last even long enough to get a "-gate"?
