WWW.FASTCOMPANY.COMNvidia stock is nearing an all-time high as excitement builds around CES 2025 and new AI hardwareShares of Nvidia Corp (Nasdaq: NVDA) are nearing all-time highs in premarket trading this morning after the company announced a slew of new AI products at the CES trade show in Las Vegas yesterday. NVDA stock is trading at $152.42 as of the time of this writingnot far from the companys $152.89 all-time high stock price that was reached late last year. NVDA shares achieved a closing price of $149.43 yesterday,Here are the biggest announcements Nvidia made yesterday.Cosmos synthetic training modelIn the last few years, Nvidia has become the leader in AI hardware thanks to its Blackwell chipsets, which power the AI servers major tech companies, including OpenAI and Amazon, use for their products. But at CES yesterday, Nvidia announced several hardware and software products as well.The first of that is Cosmos sythetic training model, which is aimed at making it easier for companies to train AI-powered robots and cars. Such devices are usually trained to operate in a physical space, such as on the road or in an assembly line, by using video recorded in real-world locations. However, real-world video recordings have their limitations. For example, if a self-driving car is trained on real-world video, that video must be captured firsta time-intensive taskand the environment cant be well controlled (nature will decide if its sunny or raining on the day the video is captured).Cosmos aims to usurp nature and the real world by allowing the trainers to generate photorealistic training videos on the fly. These synthetic videos would no longer be beholden to real-world locations or weather and help eliminate the time commitments of capturing the perfect training video data in the first place.Nvidias first desktop computerAnother surprise announcement was that Nvidia is planning to launch its first desktop computer. However, dont expect this computer to be a Windows or Mac competitor.The computer, known as Project DIGITS, is designed for computer programmers and not consumers, Reuters reports. It will feature a Blackwall GPU chipset from Nvidia along with a CPU made by Taiwans MediaTek. The computer itself will not run Windows; instead, it will use a custom Linux-based Nvidia operating system.The Project DIGITS desktop computer will reportedly cost $3,000 and is designed to help developers test their AI systems in a more speedy manner than they can today. Project DIGITS is scheduled for a March release.Nvidia returns to its gaming roots with new graphics cardMost people today think of Nvidia as an AI company. Indeed, its $3 trillion-plus market cap is thanks largely to sales of its Blackwell chips, which help power AI servers across the globe. But for the first two decades of its existence, Nvidia was primarily known as the company that made the cards that powered some of the most high-end video game graphics out there.At CES yesterday, Nvidia announced that it wasnt leaving its video game roots behind. It unveiled a new line of graphics cards aimed at consumer PCs, which would allow for some of the most advanced video game graphics ever. The new RTX 50 series of graphics cards will enable movie-quality graphics on a PC.As Reuters notes, the RTX 50 series graphics cards will be able to display more accurate human faces and even generate fingerprint smudges on in-game surfaces, giving video game graphics an air of reality theyve never had before. The RTX 50 series of graphics cards are expected to cost between $550 and $2,000.0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 27 Views

WWW.FASTCOMPANY.COMBiden administration announces lifechanging new rule for credit reportsUnpaid medical bills will no longer appear on credit reports, where they can block people from mortgages, car loans or small business loans, according to a final rule announced Tuesday by the Biden administration.The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule will remove $49 billion in medical debt from the credit reports of more than 15 million Americans, according to the bureau, which means lenders will no longer be able to take that into consideration when deciding to issue a loan.The change is estimated to raise the credit scores by an average of 20 points and could lead to 22,000 additional mortgages being approved every year, according to the bureau. Vice President Kamala Harris said in a statement announcing the rule that it would be lifechanging for millions of families.No one should be denied economic opportunity because they got sick or experienced a medical emergency, she said.Harris also announced that states and local governments have used a sweeping 2021 pandemic-era aid package to eliminate more than $1 billion in medical debt for more than 700,000 Americans.The administration announced plans for the rule in fall 2023.The CFPB said that medical debt is a poor predictor of an individuals ability to repay a loan. Experian, Equifax and TransUnion, the three national credit reporting agencies, said last year that they were removing medical collections debt under $500 from U.S. consumer credit reports.The new rule from the Biden administration is set to take on the outstanding bills appearing on credit reports.Michelle L.

This session, only 87% of members are Christian. Here are a few key highlights from Pews analysis:The majority of Congress continues to identify as Christian: 461 members of Congress, or about 87%, identify as Christian. Meanwhile, 55% identify as Protestant and 14% as Baptist. For context, 62% of the U.S. population identifies as Christian, 40% as Protestant, and 11% as Baptist. About 98% of Republicans are Christian (265 out of 270 members), and 75% of Democrats are Christian (196 out of 262 members).Other religions are a small minority: Thirty-two members identify as Jewish, four as Hindu, four as Muslim, three as Buddhist, three as Unitarian Universalist, and one as Humanist.Unaffiliated Americans are underrepresented: About 28% of Americans say they have no religious affiliation, but only three members of Congress (0.6%) say they have no religious affiliation: They are new House members Yassamin Ansari (Democrat) and Abraham Hamadeh (Republican), both representing Arizona, and Emily Randall (Democrat), who represents Washington state.0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 27 Views
