  • This very much looks like a bubble.

    In my opinion: NVIDIA is a complete bubble from market valuation to product pricing, and I can’t wait for it to burst.

    What’s the return going to be like on that $5.27 B in spend over four years?

    I think you have the figures wrong, the investment is said to be around $1.5 billion dollars and $5.27 billion dollars is the expected return over the course of four years. If operators can get returns like that, they could break even in less than two years and profit for the remaining two years.

    Question is, does the bubble burst before they could profit or what if their(datacenter operators) customers don’t want to pay those prices to rent these GPU(s)? Former seems more likely to me, latter doesn’t seem possible seeing the craze to put AI in everything.














  • From the article:

    In an email, a GivEnergy representative reinforced Castellucci’s assessment, writing:

    In this case, the problematic encryption approach was picked up via a 3rd party library many years ago, when we were a tiny startup company with only 2, fairly junior software developers & limited experience. Their assumption at the time was that because this encryption was available within the library, it was safe to use. This approach was passed through the intervening years and this part of the codebase was not changed significantly since implementation (so hadn't passed through the review of the more experienced team we now have in place).
