Nvidia’s upcoming graphics cards have been exposed, just as we edge closer to CES 2025. Key details about Nvidia’s much-anticipated GPU lineup have surfaced, revealing exciting yet daunting specifications for tech enthusiasts. Thanks to a slip by graphics card producer Zotac, the names and specifications of some of Nvidia’s top GPUs have been revealed. The series, codenamed Blackwell, includes the formidable RTX 5090, which is expected to occupy significant space and demand considerable electric power once inside your PC. Insights were gathered from Zotac’s inadvertent leak, initially captured by VideoCardz before the listings were removed. The top-of-the-line RTX 5090 boasts 32GB of GDDR7 memory, an upgrade over the RTX 4090’s 24GB. Consumers can expect this giant to take up to four slots on motherboards, which marks a step up from the triple-slot requirement of its predecessor. Concerning power consumption, Nvidia suggests a power supply unit ranging from 650W to 750W, possibly pointing to a 600W total power draw. The leaked information hints at five specific cards: the GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5090D, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070. However, there’s no mention yet of more budget-friendly models like the 5060 series. This focus on high-end GPUs may delay the release and announcement of Nvidia’s lower-tier cards, traditionally launched at a later date. For budget-conscious gamers, Intel’s recent entry into the market with their more affordable offerings, such as the B580, might prove a welcome alternative. However, suspense remains for what Nvidia’s 50-series will eventually offer to those pursuing more economical gaming solutions. Get Ready for Nvidia’s Game-Changing GPU Lineup: What to Expect from the Upcoming Blackwell Series As the tech world eagerly anticipates CES 2025, Nvidia’s latest advancements in graphics processing units (GPUs) have recently been thrust into the spotlight.

The policy will cover the school system’s CDL (bus) drivers, according to Superintendent Gary Hough. “The Federal Motor Carrier organization (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) required us to put that wording, specific regulations that they wanted in there,” Hough said Monday afternoon. “(The FMCSA) provided the template to all the transportation directors across the state,” Anna Kincaid-Cline, the associate superintendent of curriculum, technology and instruction, added. “Our transportation director meets with all our bus drivers and they go over that entire policy with them. The county’s transportation director is Matt Harper. The superintendent will recommend the BOE approve the resolution’s first reading. Also to be considered, and recommended for approval by Hough, will be a resolution from the board to urge the state to stabilize the Public Employees Insurance Agency (PEIA), which provides insurance coverage for state, county and local public employees. Those covered by PEIA will face significant increases in premiums and costs beginning with the next fiscal year in July. “Making two adjustments to their initial plan, the finance board for the West Virginia Public Employees Insurance Agency on (Dec. 5) signed off on roughly $113 million in premium and cost increases for employees during the 2026 fiscal year,” Lori Kersey wrote in West Virginia Watch. “Premiums for state employees will increase by 14% while local government employees will see a 16% increase. The agency will also raise premiums by 12% for retirees. ... “Both state and county employees using PEIA will see an increase of 40% in their out-of-pocket maximum as well as increases in co-pays,” Kersey wrote. “A monthly spousal surcharge for state employees will more than double, from $147 to $350. The state and local fund employer administration fee will increase by $2.50.” In other action at the 6 p.m. Tuesday meeting, the BOE will consider an out-of-state trip for Divide Elementary School’s fifth grade students to the Columbus Zoo on May 23, 2025. Travel will be by charter bus and funding will be from the Divide Elementary PTO and fundraising activities. The board also will take action on past meeting minutes, financial and personnel matters, will hear a report from the superintendent and present points of personal privilege: climate and culture — Pat Gray, president; extracurricular and Southern Education Services Cooperative — Gary Ray, vice president; achievement and Fayette County Parks & Recreation Advisory Board — Joshua Crist; operations/safety and WVU Extension Service (4-H) — Joseph Groom; and social emotional wellness and Family Resource Network (FRN) — Cindy Whitlock. The superintendent also recommends the approval of a student disposition in an executive session for a student discipline hearing. Future meetings are scheduled as follows: regular meeting — Tuesday, Jan. 7, 6 p.m., BOE office; LSIC meeting for Ansted Elementary, Divide Elementary and Midland Trail High — Tuesday, Jan. 14, 6 p.m., Midland Trail High School, Hico; and regular meeting — Tuesday, Jan. 21, 6 p.m., BOE office.
Samsung flagship 8K projector receives industry-first certificationWade Taylor IV scored 15 points and dished out 10 assists and C.J. Wilcher added 14 points as No. 13 Texas A&M throttled Abilene Christian 92-54 on Saturday afternoon in College Station, Texas. The Aggies (11-2) were in charge from the jump, forging a 19-point lead at halftime and never looking back. Texas A&M scored the first points of the second half, was up by 28 with 13:23 to play and cruised to the finish line while winning its seventh straight game. Taylor's output moved him into second place in the Aggies all-time scoring list. His 1,779 points are now behind only Bernard King, who had 1,990 from 1999-2003. Andersson Garcia and Zhuric Phelps added 12 points each for Texas A&M, which appears to be hitting on all cylinders heading into its Southeastern Conference opener at home against rival Texas on Jan. 4. Phelps added 10 rebounds for the Aggies. Quion Williams led the Wildcats (8-6) with 14 points. Abilene Christian missed its final six shots and went the last 5:24 of the game without a point. The Aggies made a statement in the early going by scoring the game's first nine points over the initial 3 1/2 minutes, with seven of those coming from Coleman. Abilene Christian fought back to within 16-12 after Dontrez Williams' layup with 12:12 left in the half.

A&M boosted the lead back to 17 points after a pair of free throws by Taylor and got two more from the charity stripe to take a 48-29 edge to the break. Wilcher led all scorers in the half with 12 points on 4-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc while Garcia hit for 10 points for A&M while making all four of his shots from the floor. The Aggies outshot Abilene Christian 61.5 percent to 40.7 percent before halftime. Quion Williams and Leonardo Bettiol paced the Wildcats with seven points each in the first half. --Field Level Media
The highly anticipated Peaky Blinders film "won't be the end" of the popular gangster series, creator Steven Knight has said. Cork Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy is reprising his role as Birmingham gangster Tommy Shelby for the film, which is set following the events of the original BBC drama which ran for six series from 2013 to 2022. Following the film wrapping production, Knight has revealed that it will be around a year before the project is released. Knight told a British radio station: "It's a bit too soon for that, but you know, you can sort of work out that it will be about a year." Asked if there are any more plans for Peaky Blinders beyond the film, he replied: "It's interesting you should ask that question because the film is coming out and that won't be the end." The screenwriter was questioned if that meant fans could expect more series in the future, but he refused to provide more details. The film is believed to be titled The Immortal Man and has been teased to involve new conflicts for the Shelby family set during the Second World War. Fellow Irish actor and Saltburn and The Banshees Of Inisherin star Barry Keoghan will join fellow Murphy in the new film. Earlier this month a photo was shared by Netflix of the pair looking jubilant while wearing flat caps and suits as the streamer confirmed filming had wrapped on the project. Other returning cast members include British actors Stephen Graham as union organiser Hayden Stagg and Sophie Rundle as Ada Shelby, while Dune actress Rebecca Ferguson and Pulp Fiction actor Tim Roth have also joined the project. Tom Harper, who previously directed episodes in the first season in 2013, will return to helm the film. Knight previously told Netflix's Tudum site: "It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full-on Peaky Blinders at war." When the series came to an end in 2022 after nine years, Tommy appeared to put his criminal past behind him. Across the six series, the show tackled the rise of fascism, Irish republican politics and communist activities throughout the period after the First World War - along with Tommy's ambitions in politics. Knight later created a stage adaptation of the show for a limited-run production, titled The Redemption Of Thomas Shelby, which featured performances from Rambert's dancers and a soundtrack from a live on-stage band.Leading AI researchers caution that training systems on internet data may be hitting their limits, raising concerns about the future of data-driven business models across the digital economy. Warnings by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever about data training constraints, as reported by Reuters, have rattled technology markets. Speaking at the NeurIPS conference, Sutskever emphasized the need for innovative approaches, such as AI-generated data and enhanced reasoning capabilities, to advance artificial intelligence. He predicted that future AI systems will possess human-like reasoning abilities, making their behavior less predictable and necessitating a shift in AI development strategies. But other experts argue current methods still have room to run, leaving companies to navigate competing visions of how to value and deploy AI systems that power everything from fraud detection to inventory management. “Internet data is running out, and AI companies are feeling the pressure,” Arunkumar Thirunagalingam , senior manager of data and technical operations at the McKesson Corporation , told PYMNTS. “For years, they relied on scraping huge amounts of online content to train their systems. That worked for a while, but now the easy data is drying up. This shift is putting the spotlight on companies with unique data sources, like healthcare records or logistics information. It is no longer about how much data you can grab; it is about having the right kind of data.” Coming Data Drought? AI systems rely on vast amounts of data from the internet to train and improve. However, the pool of high-quality, diverse data is finite, and researchers may be nearing the limits of what’s available. As models grow larger and demand more input, the risk of recycling similar information increases, leading to diminishing returns. Additionally, much of the internet’s content is noisy or repetitive, reducing its usefulness for cutting-edge training. This scarcity challenges researchers to seek alternatives, like creating synthetic data , leveraging specialized datasets, or developing models that rely less on raw data and more on advanced reasoning capabilities. With less internet data to scrape, companies are getting creative, Thirunagalingam said. They turn to real-world sources like IoT devices and sensors to collect fresh information. Crowd-sourcing platforms are paying people to share their unique insights, creating even more options. “This shift is already making waves in farming, where AI uses real-time data to improve crop yields, and in urban planning, where city sensors help design smarter infrastructure,” he added. “Companies that once sat on overlooked datasets are now finding new ways to monetize them, from partnerships to licensing deals. What seemed unimportant before is now a goldmine, sparking fresh ideas and business models.” Komninos Chatzipapas , founder of HeraHaven AI , acknowledged that the industry is running into a data wall. “The biggest AI companies have basically already scraped everything on the internet,” he told PYMNTS. “Also, a lot of the new internet content being published is itself AI-generated (which cannot be used for training as it will reinforce the existing biases these AI models have), and more and more publishers are blocking scraping bots like GPTBot from crawling their sites via their robots.txt.” AI’s Data Crisis: Publishers to the Rescue For pre-training AI models, Chatzipapas said, the data wall primarily affects unstructured training data, such as news articles and forum discussions. Pre-training is the initial phase of AI model development where the model learns general language patterns and knowledge from vast amounts of text data before being fine-tuned for specific tasks. “There is still work to be done on creating great structured data for training AI models,” he added. This can be, for example, very complex math/science problems that are solved in a step-by-step manner so the AI model can learn to reason, he said. One solution to the data drought is emerging through deals with academic publishers, who are offering their scholarly articles in exchange for millions of dollars. Microsoft’s recent $10 million deal with Taylor & Francis opened the floodgates for AI companies to tap into academic publishers’ vast research archives.

The change in leadership was confirmed at a Nationals party room meeting at state parliament on Tuesday morning. Danny O’Brien is the Victorian Nationals’ new leader. Credit: Chris Hopkins Lowan MP Emma Kealy, who was Walsh’s deputy, had been floated as a candidate for leader, rivalling O’Brien, before Tuesday’s vote. In a statement, the Nationals said O’Brien was elected unopposed after Walsh recently advised the party room he would step down. Kealy will continue as deputy leader. “It is the greatest honour to have been elected as leader of the Nationals,” O’Brien said. “For over 100 years, the Nationals have served the interests of rural and regional Victoria. That will not change. “It remains our singular focus as the only party solely dedicated to serving the interests of the 25 per cent of the population who live outside the metropolitan area.” Emma Kealy will remain the party’s deputy leader.

Trailblazing Canadian model Dayle Haddon dies from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning NEW HOPE, Pa. The Canadian Press Dec 28, 2024 1:39 PM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message FILE - Dayle Haddon attends the first annual Stephan Weiss Apple Awards at the Urban Zen Center on Thursday, June 9, 2011 in New York. (AP Photo/Evan Agostini, File) NEW HOPE, Pa. (AP) — Dayle Haddon, a Canadian-born actor, activist and trailblazing former “Sports Illustrated” model who pushed back against age discrimination by reentering the industry as a widow, has died in a Pennsylvania home from what authorities believe was carbon monoxide poisoning. Authorities in Bucks County found Haddon, 76, dead in a second-floor bedroom Friday morning after emergency dispatchers were notified about a person unconscious at the Solebury Township home. A 76-year-old man police later identified as Walter J. Blucas of Erie was hospitalized in critical condition. Responders detected a high level of carbon monoxide in the property and township police said Saturday that investigators determined that “a faulty flue and exhaust pipe on a gas heating system caused the carbon monoxide leak.” Two medics were taken to a hospital for carbon monoxide exposure and a police officer was treated at the scene. As a model, Haddon appeared on the covers of Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Elle and Esquire in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as the 1973 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. She also appeared in about two dozen films from the 1970s to 1990s, according to IMDb.com, including 1994’s “Bullets Over Broadway,” starring John Cusack. Haddon left modeling after giving birth to her daughter, Ryan, in the mid-1970s, but then had to reenter the workforce after her husband's 1991 death. This time she found the modeling industry far less friendly: “They said to me, ‘At 38, you’re not viable,’” Haddon told The New York Times in 2003. Working a menial job at an advertising agency, Haddon began reaching out to cosmetic companies, telling them there was a growing market to sell beauty products to aging baby boomers. She eventually landed a contract with Clairol, followed by Estée Lauder and then L’Oreal, for which she promoted the company's anti-aging products for more than a decade. She also hosted beauty segments for CBS’s “The Early Show.” "I kept modeling, but in a different way," she told The Times, “I became a spokesperson for my age.” In 2008, Haddon founded WomenOne, an organization aimed at advancing educational opportunities for girls and women in marginalized communities, including Rwanda, Haiti and Jordan.' Haddon was born in Toronto and began modeling as a teenager to pay for ballet classes — she began her career with the Canadian ballet company Les Grands Ballet Canadiens, according to her website . Haddon's daughter, Ryan, said in a social media post that her mother was “everyone’s greatest champion. An inspiration to many.” “A pure heart. A rich inner life. Touching so many lives. A life well lived. Rest in Light, Mom,” she said. The Associated Press See a typo/mistake? Have a story/tip?

Thunderbird Entertainment Group Announces Completion of Annual Grant of RSUs and PSUs to Board of Directors and Executive Management and Renegotiated CEO CompensationYoshihide Suga, vice president of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, is considering visiting South Korea in mid-December, a source familiar with the matter said Monday. Suga is set to attend a joint meeting of Japanese and South Korean parliamentarians, possibly around Dec 15, in his capacity as head of a bipartisan group of Japanese lawmakers working to promote friendly ties with their South Korean counterparts, the source said. Suga, who served as prime minister and chief cabinet secretary, is also exploring a meeting with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol during his trip, according to the source. Under Yoon, who assumed office in 2022, ties between Japan and South Korea, long frayed over wartime history and territory disputes, have improved. The countries will mark the 60th anniversary of the normalization of bilateral relations next year.Two men suspected of flying a drone “dangerously close” to ’s Logan airport were arrested on Saturday night and charged with trespassing, according to authorities. The arrest on one of the Boston Harbor islands comes as suspected drones continue to be spotted in airspace in New Jersey and Connecticut, alarming residents and setting off calls by some for – and by others to shoot down the mysterious aerial swarms. In a Saturday statement, the White House said some of the objects were drones – but confusion has continued to swirl. The former Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger told CNN that, in his estimation, the mysterious craft were not drones or UFOs but regular aircraft. “Every video I’ve seen, and I’ve spent the last couple of days looking at every one of these videos ... are all airplanes,” said Kinzinger, a former lieutenant colonel in the US air national guard. “They’re literally all airplanes! Some of them will show an airplane that’s kind of stable out there and says that’s a drone and actually, it’s an airplane flying towards you at 30,000 feet.” At a press call on Monday, Donald Trump accused Joe Biden and the Pentagon of a cover-up. “The government knows what is happening,” Trump said. “Our military knows where they took off from – if it’s a garage, they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went, and for some reason they don’t want to comment,” he said. “I think they’d be better off saying what it is,” Trump added. “Our military knows and our president knows. And for some reason, they want to keep people in suspense.” Trump declined to say if he had been briefed, but said: “I can’t imagine it’s the enemy, because if it was the enemy, they’d blast it out – even if they were late, they’d blast it.” , Robert Duffy, 42, and Jeremy Folcik, 32, were arrested by harbor patrol shortly before 10.30pm inside a decommissioned health campus. The officers who took them into custody reported investigating “a hazardous drone operation” near the airport. A third suspect, who is believed to have fled the island on a small boat, is being sought, according to police. Boston police said a drone was found inside Duffy’s backpack, and the two detained men were scheduled to be arraigned on Monday. According to police, a Boston police officer using surveillance technology about six hours before the arrests detected an “unmanned aircraft system” operating near the airport. They identified the drone’s location, altitude, flight history and the operators’ position on Long Island in Boston harbor. “Even small drones pose significant risks, including the potential for catastrophic damage to airplanes and helicopters,” police said in a statement. “Near-collisions can cause pilots to veer off course, putting lives and property at risk.” Pointing at how serious of a response authorities are now considering for the apparent mass drone sightings, Boston police co-ordinated their efforts with the Department of Homeland Security, Massachusetts state police, the joint terrorism taskforce, the federal communications commission, and Logan airport’s air traffic control. Chuck Schumer, the US Senate majority leader, on Sunday added his name to a list of officials who were requesting federal-level drone detection technology. Meanwhile, Mike Waltz – the Florida congressman who has been chosen as the national security adviser for the second Donald Trump presidency – said the drone sightings, particularly the unexplained ones, exposed gaps between federal agencies and local law enforcement. “Americans are finding it hard to believe we can’t figure out where these are coming from,” he told CBS’s Face the Nation.
