With animal lust they'll devour your life
And slice your world to bits like a knife

The forensic audio analysis by Rob C. Maher of the 2024 Trump assassination attempt has been peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society. This is great news for visual and audio investigations! aes2.org/publications...
Diagram explaining how the timing between a bullet’s supersonic shock wave (“crack”) and the muzzle blast (“pop”) can be used to estimate the distance between a shooter and a microphone. Three scenarios (T₁, T₂, T₃) show a rifle firing a supersonic bullet past a microphone. In each scenario, the ballistic shock wave cone reaches the microphone before the slower muzzle blast sound. To the right of each diagram is a waveform: a sharp spike labeled the shock-wave “crack,” followed by a later cluster of peaks labeled the muzzle-blast “pop.” The time delay between these events (t_d1, t_d2, t_d3) increases as the microphone is positioned farther downrange. A formula shows distance = t_d / (1/c − 1/v), where c is the speed of sound and v is bullet speed. Text boxes explain: “Downrange timing between shock wave ‘crack’ and muzzle blast ‘pop’ gives distance estimate between shooter and microphone,” and “For investigation of Trump assassination attempt: microphone signal was from the lectern.”

Monday Premium: The 12.7k word Hater's Guide To NVIDIA: how it makes money, how millions of GPUs are likely sitting uninstalled, and how its entire future relies on companies raising hundreds of billions in debt.

Here's $10 off annual.
edzitronswheresyouredatghostio.outpost.pub/public/promo...
NVIDIA's Future Success Is Predicated On The Ability For Everybody To Keep Feeding It Tens Of Billions Of Dollars Every Quarter, Requiring Endless Debt, Space, and Actual AI Demand To Exist Here are some thoughts I have had: A 25MW data center takes about $1 billion, with $600 million of that being GPUs - 200 GB200 racks, to be specific. It needs about 20 acres - 100,000 square feet for the data center, roughly. NVIDIA sells about $50 billion of GPUs and associated hardware in a quarter, so let's say that $40 billion of that is just the GPUs and $10 billion is the hardware, so around 13,333 GB200 racks. I realize that NVIDIA sells far more than that (GB300 racks, singular GPUs, and so on). Deep-pocketed hyperscalers like Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon representing 41.32% of NVIDIA's revenue in the middle of 2025, funneling free cash flow directly into Jensen Huang's pockets... ...for now. Amazon ($15 billion), Google ($25 billion), Meta ($30 billion) and Oracle ($18 billion) have all had to raise massive amounts of debt to continue to fund AI-focused capital expenditures, with more than half of that (per Rubenstein) spent on GPUs. Otherwise, basically anybody buying GPUs at any scale has to fund doing so with either venture capital (money raised in exchange for part of the company) or debt. NVIDIA, at this point, around 8% of the value of the S&P 500 (the 500 leading (meaning they meet certain criteria of size, liquidity (cash availability) and profitability) companies on the US stock market). Its continued health - and representative value as a stock, which is not necessarily based on its actual numbers or health, but in this case kind of is? - has led the stock market to remarkable gains. It is not enough for NVIDIA to simply be a profitable company. It must continue beating the last quarter's revenue, again and again and again and again, forever. If that sounds dramatic, I assure you it is the truth. NVIDIA's continued success - and ability to continue delivering outsized beats of Wall Street's revenue estimates - depends on: The willingness of a few very large, cash-rich companies (Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Google) to continue buying successive generations of NVIDIA GPUs. The ability of said companies to continue buying successive generations of GPUs. The ability of other, less-cash-rich companies like Oracle to continue being able to raise debt to buy massive amounts of GPUs - such as the $40 billion of GPUs that Oracle is buying for Stargate Abilene. This is becoming a problem. The ability of unprofitable, debt-ridden companies like CoreWeave, AI "neoclouds" that use the GPUs they purchase from NVIDIA as collateral for loans to buy more GPUs, to to continue raising that debt to buy more GPUs. The ability of anybody who buys these GPUs to actually install them and use them, which requires massive amounts of construction...and more power than is currently available, even to the most well-funded and conspicuous projects. In simple terms, for the debt markets to continue propping up its revenues, because there is not really enough free cash in the world to continue pumping it into NVIDIA at this rate. And after all of this, Large Language Models, the only way to make any money on any of these GPUs, must prove they can actually produce a profit. Per my article from September, I can find no compelling evidence (outside of boosters speciously claiming otherwise) that it's profitable to sell access to GPUs. Based on my calculations, there's likely little more than $61 billion of actual AI revenue in 2025 across every single AI company and hyperscaler. Note that I said "revenue." Absolutely nobody is making a profit. The NVIDIA situation is one of the most insane things I've seen in my life. The single-largest, single-most-valuable, single-most-profitable company on the stock market has got there through selling ultra-expensive hardware that takes hundreds of millio…

Poor Nigel Farage.

Just when he wants to pretend Reform is patriotic, his colleague & party member Nathan Gill is convicted of taking bribes to be a Russian shill.

Now яeform will always be the treasonous Putin Party.

So please don’t share these photos far & wide, he would REALLY hate that.

Nvidia reported a 62 per cent increase in quarterly revenue to $57bn, topping $50bn for the first time. The chipmaker is a bellwether for the AI sector so its solid earnings will assuage recent market fears that have wiped billions off tech stocks.
