Holy shit, Nvidia is killing it right now at their GTC.
Blackwell looks to be a monster in terms of AI performance. If these numbers are correct, then it is insane.
It will probably become Nvidia's most successful product launch ever.

I have a feeling the Geforce side of things are going to get sidelined, especially in rasterization.
I too feel like that is a risk. Hopefully it doesn't, and I suspect that Nvidia will still bring out some major gaming improvements for the 50 series.
On the bright side, in a worst case scenario they mostly ignore the gaming market (IMO unlikely) and it leaves a big opportunity for AMD to take back some market share. Although AMD seems to be mostly focused on trying to take AI customers from Nvidia so the absolute worst case scenario for gamers is that nether company makes big gaming improvements next gen.

Beeper, the app that was in the news recently for having iMessage support on Android, has just released a preview version of their new "Beeper Universal Chat".
I just want to warn everyone to not use this though. Why? Because it works by acting as a relay. Essentially, it signs in to your accounts on their servers, and then sends and receives messages for you. Then the app they released is used to connect to their server where your messages are stored.
This is a really big security risk for several reasons. Not only is signing in to your accounts on someone else's server a bad idea, it also breaks the end-to-end encryption some of the chat services uses.

Who uses more than one messenger app anyway? Especially now that the EU has said that messager apps have to work interoperably.

Since I forgot to include a source, here it is:
QuoteHow does Beeper Cloud connect to encrypted chat networks like iMessage/Signal/WhatsApp?
When sending and receiving Signal, iMessage and WhatsApp messages, Beeper Cloud's web service acts as a relay. For example, if you send a message from Beeper to a friend on WhatsApp, the message is encrypted on your Beeper Cloud client, sent to the Beeper Cloud web service, which decrypts and re-encrypts the message with WhatsApp's proprietary encryption protocol.
Using native chat apps independently may be more secure than connecting to other encrypted chat networks with Beeper Cloud.

Rumors have it that Qualcomm will launch a new Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip soon.
The naming is extremely similar to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 which is their flagship SoC. The difference is the "s" after the 8.
According to rumors, the s variant will be a slower version of the non-s version.
Not just lower clocks but also different core configuration (one less middle core, one more small core) and smaller GPU.
If it turns out to be true then I'd say Qualcomm is being quite deceptive. Not a fan.

The s in the 8s is for slow and stupid
I agree though, very deceptive indeed

Nvidia will be hosting the 2024 GTC (GPU Technology Conference) event on March 18 at 1 PM, PDT.
Please remember that the GTC is for enterprise products. Don't expect some new RTX cards to launch at this event. It will most likely involve a lot of AI-related news. We might see the Blackwell architecture show up in some datacenter GPU though.
