That’s why we cook food. Cooked grain is way more nutritious than raw grain. The kitchen is an external stomach.

I wore a glucose monitor for a few months and tested my blood sugar response to different foods. The worst spike I ever got was American Chinese food: rice+sugary sauce. Brown rice vs white rice makes no difference. Ice cream didn’t make mu

The Nemotron 3 family uses Mamba-2 because that is what we had validated when we started building the family. Changing the SSM backbone is a major revision, not a dot release. At least for us.

I have been in an SF muni car with someone actively smoking something that was not marijuana or a cigarette. I think it was fentanyl but I’m not sure. This was about two years ago. I hope this is tolerated less now than it has been.

Nemotron has two reasons to exist, both of which are strategic to NVIDIA. 1. Help NVIDIA design future systems for AI by more deeply understanding what it takes to build AI. 2. Keep the AI ecosystem strong and diverse throughout the world b

Some of these concerns are precisely why we are building Nemotron at NVIDIA. We want to make it possible for people to invent and deploy AI in all sorts of new and unforeseen ways. Nemotron is: 1. Not just open weight, but open data (to the

sadly, disembodied brains are not very useful. embodied brains require a civilization's worth of energy consumption and environmental impact in order to do their work. so we really need to take the world's power/water/ca

As I said - anything surprisingly gluten free or surprisingly vegan is going to be UPF. Sometimes I wonder if the gluten free trend is a ploy by food processing companies to whitewash expensive proprietary processed foods as “whole”.

Agreed. Which makes the statement “ultraprocessed foods should be treated more like cigarettes” seem wrong. I guess “bad foods should be treated more like cigarettes” is too obvious.

Most of the things on sale at “Whole Foods” are ultra-processed these days. Anything that requires effort to make gluten free or vegan for example. Like impossible burger. Extreme ultra-processed. Or gluten free bread. Please don’t tell me

The Nano model isn’t pretrained in FP4, only Super and Ultra are. And posttraining is not in FP4, so the posttrained weights of these models are not native FP4.

I had a similar experience. The "Sanctus Sanctus Sanctus" written in stone was not an aspiration or a motto for me when I visited, it was a statement of fact.

I've often wondered if Intel would still be a dominant force in computing if it had kept engineering in Silicon Valley. I worked at Intel both in Hillsboro and in Santa Clara and I feel that Intel's decision to put so much enginee

Yes, but Italy had to centralize its language in order to accomplish this. 1000 Italian dialects were suppressed in a very heavyweight process. (And probably some people didn't like speaking Florentine, which became modern Italian.) En

English pronunciation does vary quite widely and it would be difficult to rewrite all the books and websites into all the different accents. It's also decentralized - there's no authority to tell the English-speaking community how

I'm curious about the False Positive/False Negative rate of the battitore. Do they open up some wheels to double check?

It means “envy” in Latin and Spanish etc. Which is why the logo is an acid green evil eye. And why NVIDIA’s headquarters are two buildings named “ENdeavor” and “Voyager”.

They often flew mail on it as their cargo. But the plane was more a matter of national pride than something that made sense.
