- AI is starting to rewrite the software that made Nvidia untouchable
AI is beginning to automate the development of software like Nvidia's CUDA, challenging its dominance in AI infrastructure. Startups and cloud giants are using AI coding agents to create alternatives, while Nvidia claims it also leverages AI to enhance CUDA development. The shift toward AI inference may further impact CUDA's long-standing industry lock-in.
- Infinity isn’t a number. It's something much weirder.
Infinity is not a number but a concept that leads to paradoxes and strange mathematical phenomena when applied to infinite actions within finite time. The article highlights supertasks and bizarre mathematics as key aspects of infinity's complexity.
- What can we gain by losing infinity?
The article explores the implications of removing the concept of infinity from mathematics and physics, discussing how this might reshape foundational theories. It references debates among mathematicians and physicists about the necessity and consequences of such a shift.
