guy is messing it up bigtime and in real-time as well. sheesh. none of his jokes are landing. “we had 2 customers. we have more now”. long pause. screen behind him covered with logos of all his customers. pause. pause. finally applause. ok on to the next tidbit.

whole conference has been proceeding like this now. look if you invite cramer and the wall street crowd, you should throw in some dollar figures. like - who is paying for all this. how much. and why. talk is entirely about token generation bandwidth, exaflops and petaflops, data parallel vs tensor parallel vs pipeline parallel - do you honestly think cramer knows the difference between an ml pipeline and an oil pipeline ?

i am watching this conf with my kid - proper GenZ member - who got up after 5 mins and said man who is this comedian, his jokes are so bad, and left :(



Why would a Gen z kid care about this conference?

It's not a hipster event.

And the pauses are clearly his style of presenting. Having a artificial pause to tell the audience it would be a good time to react.

You clearly don't like it, I don't mind it.

But just to be clear: we see peak human ingenuity. This right now will be history on how we as humans build AGI, full human robots etc (in case we don't nuke ourselves).

You can read the conference results easily at any it news portal.

There is no requirement from Nvidia entertaining you or your kid.


Nah, wallstreet doesn’t understand what it’s looking at.

That’s fine, it’s a developer conference for a founder lead company that hasn’t reached the “stock price is the product” state. He’s not trying to optimize the next 5 days of stock.

There’s a full ecosystem grab with Nim there, a new GPU that forces every major datacenter to adopt (or their competitors will massively increase their compute density)


You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.


This is a developer's conference, not a financial one.


Cramer is an entertainer. Not a developer or an investor.
