Last fall, Nvidia agreed to take a 100 billion$ stake in OpenAI, in exchange for them buying Nvidia chips (mostly).

That would have given OpenAI the cash it needs for about 1.5 years.

Now, Nvidia is reconsidering this investment.

Quote from: Josephus on January 30, 2026, 06:08:05 PMIn all fairness....nobody would probably go watch a documentary on Biden's wife either. That's the point, I guess, it is such a vanity project.



No, it's a grift project. About 20 or so million of Amazon's payment for the rights goes to Mrs. Trump

I am not sure she cares if anyone actually sees the movie

Quote from: Tonitrus on January 30, 2026, 03:58:50 PMThe reporting is pretty thin...the only thing I found said that they empaneled a grand jury to issue an arrest warrant.

I saw an article mention the 1994 FACE act which bans blocking access to abortion clinics and disrupting church services. I guess the question would be how much his reporting disrupted mass.

Yeah, it's the more environmentally clean version (in so far as mining and smelting goes) and it'll account for 1/3 of the worlds reserve of such a deposit.

Une procureure et un avocat font tomber un procès d'envergure 

For some reason, I can't get Google to translate the page.  You'll have to use your browser.

I believe I have talked about this case before.  Final nail in the coffin came today, the judge canceled the trial.

The Crown prosecutor had an intimated relationship with one of the defense lawyer and it was discovered that information was exchanged.

According to the judge, the defense lawyer softened his negotiation as to not damage his relationship with his lover, one of the crown prosecutor to the case.

That is some serious misconduct.

She was also accused of impaired driving in 2023, and the police had to lay a siege to heir house.  Pleaded not guilty, was able to get back to work.  Fired from DPCP in November 2025, but this didn't seem to have made news.

Don't know what will happen to the defense lawyer.  I suppose the bar will want to have a chat with both of them following this.

It reads like a Mick Herron plot.
