- Install base defines an architecture. Not... Everything else is secondary, okay? And so there were other architectures at the time. CUDA came out, OpenCL was here. There were... You know, there's several other competing architectures. But the thing that... The decision that we made that was good was we said, "Hey, look, ultimately it's about, Install base and what is the best way we could get a new computing architecture into the world?"
And you are looking down down down down, and you're about to dive into a pool of toxic sludge. Cuddy did some fabulous research where she had two control groups, both going into performance situations like an interview, like a speaking gig, et cetera.
On the way there from almost anywhere in L.A., Orange County, or the Inland Empire, you drive past South Gate, Huntington Park, Vernon, Cudahy, Paramount, Gardena, Commerce, Bell Gardens, and Bell-- places that were cattle ranches and farmland before they morphed into lower-middle class towns submerged in smog and dust, dominated by raw industry-- meat packing, smelt, metal, rubber, food processing.
So people who have great sex lives, kissed one another passionately for no reason at all, hug each other. They cuddle, they give surprise gifts, compliments, flowers, and they do the kinds of things that really Ester Perel is saying not to do.
We see some circumstance or some person. Amy Cuddy and Susan Fisk and Peter Glick have identified this in two ways.
And she has given one of the most watched TED Talks out there, so some of you may be familiar with her work already. So Cuddy and her team put research participants in different kind of postures and measured their hormone levels. So some people were put in high power poses-- so like, legs apart, hands on the hips, that sort of thing, like gigantic movements that take up a lot of space.
some new desire rising from within it. We cuddled with a fierceness/focus that rivaled the fierceness/focus with which we had fucked. There is nothing less about cuddling vis-a-vis fucking, is what I mean to say.
Was it like $8 billion or something? Like six, $7 billion or something like that. After we launched CUDA, I recognized that it was going to add so much cost, but it was something we believed in. You know, our market cap went down to like one and a half billion dollars. And so we were down, we were down there for a while and we
Just Google unlikely animal friends. We see a giraffe cuddle up to a koala bear, a puppy and a kitten playfully wrestling with one another. We're not just in it for the cuteness.
And tell us about-- Amy Cuddy is probably somebody lots of people in the room will know. And Amy Cuddy, she has a book called "Presence," which is all about body language.
And that one was rough. And he would cuddle up to me, and purr, and lick me for a few minutes every night, and then he'd go off hunting again.
And then it happens, and immediately the shame comes. I'd cuddle with them first and do our little rituals, and then I would sit.
And then I cut it and it didn't touch any water so it's full of flavor. And this is some cuds , too, but it's mixed with saffron to make it more .
Now, don't really share all of your secrets with your partner, have some mystery. And do not cuddle, cuddling is the death knell for eroticism. And she advises her clients not to cuddle, and in fact she has advised her clients to ask for money for sex.
All right, cool. And so I was looking for a way to acknowledge self-defeating behaviors, and I was looking for a way to do it that would be cuddly and easily marketable. Easily marketable?
And we're grateful to have him here. And you see him cuddling his, well, it looks like a donkey or a horse? I don't know what it is.
It expanded the aperture of applications that, that we can accelerate with our accelerator. The question is, how do we, how do we attract developers to CUDA? Because a computing platform is all about developers. And developers
And like that was one of the more chilling things I've ever seen. You think Ewoks are cute and cuddly. You hear in the background and you know you're about to be eaten by them.
And we're literally just in a cuddle puddle out in the field, playing with these Labs.
So what does she teach us? And tell us about-- Amy Cuddy is probably somebody lots of people in the room will know. She has one of the most-watched TED Talks ever, about power poses.
I need to go home and cuddle with my boo bear and just live and dive more into art.
They just need us to give them cuddles, to comfort them when they're distressed.
And you became known for these Cuddle Alerts when the cold winter came in.
So it's called the cuddle hormone.
So I came up with Cuddle Alert.
And I wrote another book on cuddling, more the science of it.
movie just um sort of cuddled each other and um and um yeah for about 30 minutes and um it was just such a pivotal moment
But the octopus loves to cuddle its favorite submarine as it's off into dreamland, being read its favorite story.
And you are looking down down down down, and you're about to dive into a pool of toxic sludge. Hands up if you've seen Amy Cuddy's talk, Power Poses.
I just want to be cuddled.
And do not cuddle, cuddling is the death knell for eroticism. And she advises her clients not to cuddle, and in fact she has advised her clients to ask for money for sex. Making sex impersonal is her recipe for increased eroticism.
Is this area asking for nurture and cuddling, or is this achey area asking to be stretched and moved?
So breastfeeding on demand and holding and cuddling your child and responding to them immediately is really important.
is called "Frankenstein's Cat: Cuddling Up to Biotech's Brave New Beasts." The idea for this book came to me gradually over
We cuddled with a fierceness/focus that rivaled the fierceness/focus with which we had fucked. There is nothing less about cuddling vis-a-vis fucking, is what I mean to say. We were all over each other in the super friendly way of puppies or spouses meeting for the first time after one of
And I'll say something about CUDA at the, at the end.
We've been doing things with CUDA now for-for two or three years as we're programming on
or every student in school, and eventually something amazing will happen. Well, the problem was CUDA increased our cost of that GPU, which is a consumer product, so tremendously, it completely consumed all of the company's gross profit dollars. And so at the time, the company was probably, you know, worth, I don't know, at the time, eight...
And then the last part is to have an architecture that's flexible, that can adapt and move with the wind. And one of the benefits of, of CUDA is that it's, you know, on the one hand, an incredible accelerator. On the other hand, it's really flexible. And so that balance, incredible balance between specialization, otherwise we can't accelerate the CPU, versus generalization, so that we can adapt with changing algorithms,
We need people who used slavery as a cudgel to bash each other with, and that's not going to happen.
former pitcher you might remember the name John Cudi the day before the last game of the season 12 years ago he died
And you are looking down down down down, and you're about to dive into a pool of toxic sludge. So I'm sure many of you have seen Amy Cuddy's talk on Power Poses.
I don't know how many people here write CUDA code, or GPU code?
We read to them from a very early age and cuddled with them even before they could even understand the words.
The other is sort of the fine grain OpenMP NVIDIA CUDA type approach. And at that point we also use, there's a system at the University of Maryland called XMT that tries to get at
and use it as a starting point of cultivating our install base." Meanwhile, we'll go and attract developers, and we went to universities and wrote books and taught classes and put CUDA everywhere. And eventually people discover... And at the time, the PC was the primary computing vehicle. There was no cloud, and we could put a supercomputer in the hands of every
- Well I had to make it clear to the board what we're trying to do, and the management team knew our gross margins were gonna get crushed. So you could imagine a world where GeForce would carry the burden of CUDA and none of the gamers would appreciate it and none of the gamers would pay for it. You know, they only pay certain price and it doesn't matter what your cost is. And so the... You know, we, we increased our cost by 50% and that con-
That wouldn't help. But if I cuddle her and say, what would you like, what shall we do, what's the matter, and try to listen,
Go outside and get some fresh air, or cuddle with a loved one, and you don't feel any better, only more upset at the joy that everyone else seems to feel.
He's also among the first people to conceive of philosophy as something of a cudgel as a tool--
