How Nvidia is creating a $1.4T data center market in a decade of AI

For more than three decades, x86 architectures dominated computing. Today, general-purpose processing is giving way to specialized accelerators.
We categorize “extreme parallel computing” as the specialized hardware and software for AI training, inference, HPC clusters and advanced analytics.
Nvidia accounts for roughly 25% of the entire data center segment. Our view is that Nvidia will retain that leading share throughout the forecast period — assuming it avoids unforced errors — despite intense competition from hyperscalers, AMD and others.
We have modeled the entire data center market — servers, storage, networking, power, cooling and related infrastructure — from 2019 through 2035. Our research points to a rapid transition away from traditional general-purpose computing toward extreme parallel computing.
We believe the transition from general-purpose, x86, central processing units toward distributed clusters of graphics processing units and specialized accelerators is happening even faster than many anticipated.
InfiniBand emerged as the go-to for ultra-low-latency interconnects. Now, we see that trend permeate hyperscale data centers, with high-performance Ethernet as a dominant standard which will ultimately in our view prove to be the prevailing open network of choice.
Nvidia’s advantage does not hinge on chips alone. Its integration of hardware and software — underpinned by a vast ecosystem — forms a fortress-like moat that is difficult to replicate.
Although competition is strong, none of these players alone threatens Nvidia’s long-term dominance — unless Nvidia makes significant missteps.
The data center — as we have known it — will transform into a distributed, parallel processing fabric where GPUs and specialized accelerators become the norm.
The anticipated shift toward accelerated compute forms the foundation of our bullish stance on data center growth.

Fixing Linux Backup Sync Issues for exFAT Compatibility

A recent issue with synchronizing files to an exFAT-formatted external SSD surfaced while using KDE's Kup Backup application.
The exFAT file system prohibits certain characters in filenames, causing errors during the backup process.
To resolve the issue, a Bash script can be used to automate the renaming process for files containing invalid characters.
The script identifies and replaces the restricted characters with underscores in the specified directories.

Build a Mac Tool to Fix Grammar Using TypeScript, OpenAI API, and Automator

In this post, we’ll create a highly useful Mac tool to fix the grammar of any selected text.
The heart of this tool is the fixGrammar function, a straightforward utility that takes a piece of text as input and returns a grammatically corrected version.
To use this function, you’ll need to set up your OpenAI API key in your environment variables.
We use a mini model to keep the responses fast and cost-effective. The max_tokens parameter defines the maximum number of tokens generated in the response, while the temperature parameter controls the response's randomness.
This AppleScript automates grammar correction for selected text.
The readStdin function is responsible for capturing input text from the standard input and returning a promise that resolves with the trimmed text.
To execute scripts with node, we need to bundle them into a single file using esbuild.
For AppleScript to execute the JavaScript file, it needs to know the path to the node executable and the script file.
To run the workflow using a shortcut, assign it a custom shortcut in System Preferences.
With this setup, you now have a powerful Mac tool to fix grammar in any selected text effortlessly.
