"Our introduction of Turing GPUs is a giant leap for computer graphics and AI, bringing the magic of real-time ray tracing to games and the biggest generational performance improvements we have ever delivered," Huang's statement said.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, Nvidia expects revenue $2.70 billion, plus or minus 2 percent. Analysts are expecting $3.4 billion in revenue.
Echoing Huang's assertion on the quarterly results, analyst Patrick Moorhead said that Nvidia's lower-than-expected revenues represented "a short-term blip that will be quickly corrected."
"Nvidia had a decent Q3/18, revenue and profit-wise," he said in a statement. "The big revenue growth was in gaming, pro visualization (workstation), datacenter (ML, VDI), and auto (SD). 'OEM and IP' way down due primarily to crypto-currency declines. Nvidia is saying there was a lot of Pascal inventory, likely due to over-ordering during the crypto-boom where gaming customers were ordering 2-3X of what they needed to assure supply. This makes sense to me as AMD experienced the same phenomenon when they reported."
Orlando Bloom may have just done something many people have been pining to do for a while: Throw a punch at Justin Bieber.
Seriously, rumor has it that people applauded after the fact.
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star, 37, reportedly tried to punch the embattled "Beauty and the Beat" singer, 20, early Wednesday while they were at the star-studded Cipriani restaurant on the Spanish island of Ibiza, according to TMZ.
It's unclear what instigated the scuffle -- sources told TMZ it might have been Bieber's history with Bloom's ex, supermodel Miranda Kerr -- but the British actor threw the punch, missed when Bieber ducked and his bodyguard took the hit, according to video of the incident.
"Orlando took one swing at Justin and missed," a source told People magazine. "They were separated and Justin stayed at Cipriani with friends for a while before leaving."
The New York Post reported that Bieber and Bloom had been seated at different tables, but when Bieber & Co. walked by Bloom's table, the actor reportedly refused to shake the singer's hand. Then the YouTube sensation is believed to have said something rude that may have alluded to Kerr, though the Post's Bieber source said that comment was made after the altercation and another said that it was never made at all.
Bieber, whose antics have made more headlines than his work as of late, can be heard on the video saying "What's up [expletive]?" to Bloom and some shoving took place after that.
Bieber's rep declined to comment the matter while a rep for Bloom did not immediately respond to The Times' requests for comment.
Soon after the fight, Bieber took to Instagram to post a photo of a bikini-clad Kerr, which he promptly deleted, TMZ said.
The trio's history may go back to November 2012 when Bieber performed at the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and posed backstage with the then-Angel. Stories of Bieber hooking up with models went rampant after that, and his rumored romance with model Barbara Palvin reportedly prompted his split with on/off girlfriend Selena Gomez the following January.
In October 2013, Bloom and Kerr announced that they had formalized their months-long separation.
In April of this year, "The Hobbit" actor was photographed hanging out with Gomez, which prompted another round of are-they-or-aren't they questioning. (They weren't, reports said.) Bloom has most recently been linked to "The Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev, who he was spotted "flirting" with at a Comic-Con party last weekend, E! News reported.
There was no shortage of toy donations at the annual Salvation Army Tiny Tim breakfast Thursday.
The long running event is the Sally Ann’s biggest toy drive of the year.
The heart warming, early morning event drew donors of all ages.
Klaudia Van Emmerik has details.
The State Department’s Counter Terrorism (CT) Bureau apologized on Tuesday for promoting a controversial Muslim scholar whose organization has reportedly backed Hamas and endorsed a fatwa authorizing the murder of U.S. soldiers in Iraq.
Bin Bayyah himself is one of several clerics who endorsed a 2004 fatwa, or religious order, endorsing the killing of U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq.
The CT Bureau apologized multiple times on Tuesday for tweeting in favor of Bin Bayyah and promoting an article on his website.
“This should not have been tweeted and has since been deleted,” the CT Bureau tweeted at users who expressed anger over the original message.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is exhorting three suspended UCLA basketball players to thank Chinese President Xi Jinping (shee jihn-peeng) for their freedom following a shoplifting incident while they were in China.
Freshmen LiAngelo Ball, Jalen Hill and Cody Riley were detained in Hangzhou for questioning following allegations of shoplifting last week before the Bruins beat Georgia Tech in their season-opening game in Shanghai. The rest of the UCLA team returned home Saturday.
Athletic director Dan Guerrero said the incident occurred when the team was given 90 minutes of free time on Nov. 6 in Hangzhou. He said the three visited several stores and took items from three stores.
Coach Steve Alford announced Wednesday the players were being suspended indefinitely and said they would have to earn their way back onto the team.
WWE RAW RESULTS (11/12): Smackdown Women Invade Raw!
We are starting the show with all the Raw tag teams in the middle of the ring. It looks like we are having a tournament which will decide who the captains of team Raw at Survivor Series will be. We don’t get too far in before we hear……BRAAAAAUUUUUNNNNN.
Braun Strowman comes in and takes out essentially everyone in the tag division single handedly which pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the state of Raw’s tag division. He grabs a chair and gets in the middle of the ring and grabs a mic.
“Tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw is brought to you by the Monster Among Men.” Strowman says that he isn’t leaving the ring until Baron Corbin GETS THESE HANDS.
Out comes Stephanie McMahon who has a sour look on her face as she walks towards the ring right to Strowman and she is unafraid. Stephanie says that Braun has every right to be upset, but she cannot hold Raw hostage. She says that he needs to channel his anger and rage and save it for Survivor Series. She tells him that Shane embarrassed the Raw Roster at Crown Jewel…Strowman says that he doesn’t give a damn about Shane, and he doesn’t give a damn about representing Raw.
Stephanie says she will compromise and that Raw has defeated Smackdown for the last two years and that if Braun leads them to a victory at Survivor Series, he can have whatever he wants. Braun says that he wants a shot at the Universal Championship against Brock Lesnar. But FIRST, he wants a shot at Baron Corbin AND he wants to pick the stipulations for both matches. Stephanie complies, as long as he agrees to not touch Corbin up until that happens.
Stephanie says that she is not trying to manipulate anyone and she wants to motivate every man, woman, monster….
Ronda Rousey comes out and says that she doesn’t need motivation. She has been wanting a challenge like Becky Lynch ever since she came to WWE. There is a HUGE Becky Lynch chant and she says she is tired of hearing how Becky Lynch is the man. She can’t wait to show THE MAN how it is to really rip someone’s arm off…..but maybe she doesn’t have to wait. She looks at Stephanie with evil intentions, but is interrupted by Baron Corbin.
Corbin says he echoes Stephanies sentiment about focusing energy for Sunday. He puts his hand on Rousey to reassure her, but she takes exception and Judo throws him across the ring. Ronda leaves and Corbin gets up just to be face to face with Strowman. Stephanie reminds Strowman that he can’t do anything and Corbin taunts him until Stephanie forces him to get out of the ring. Strowman tells Corbin that he needs to enjoy the time being Stephanie’s lapdog, because soon, he’s going to NEUTER him.
THE BILINGUAL section of the Associated School on Dominik Tatarka Street in Poprad can boast several successful graduates who have bright careers also thanks to the secondary school they attended.
Model graduates from this school – which is almost 25 years old – include Andrej Paľa, currently working as a neurosurgeon in the German city of Ulm, Michalea Zakharain, a lawyer in an international company residing in Austria, Peter Lupták, working as a consultant in the McKinsey&Company consulting firm, and Jana Karpatyová, a professor at a Dutch college.
Paľa claims that apart from a good level of foreign language education – which can replace studying for two or three years abroad to master it – the school also trained them to think and work constructively and logically, instead of memorising encyclopaedic knowledge as was usual at lessons taught in Slovak.
Zakharian opines that apart from the language, the school also enabled them to learn a European mentality, and to bring European nations closer together, while also enriching their character. Lupták uses his German skills frequently, but he also praised for the TASR newswire the acquired ability to think critically, independently and to dare leave the country and try their luck in a German-speaking country.
Karpatyová stressed the good level of education at the Poprad school and said that excellent knowledge of foreign languages is for her, who also speaks English, rather a means of doing her job, than a goal itself. She returned to her secondary school to offer an informational meeting about the college where she lectures, and she believes this can become a tradition.
The lessons are organised in cooperation with Germany, Mária Vojtaššáková, deputy headmistress for the German section of the school, now comprising 250 students, said. The course of study is five years long, with the first year being a preparatory one focused mostly on improving language skills. From the second year, there are 20 lessons in German a week, including subjects like geography, maths, and history.
Apart from Slovak certificates of final exams, students also get German ones. Vojtaššáková added that one third of graduates choose to continue their studies abroad.
The methodology of the eight teachers working at the bilingual school is different from the Slovak one. Students are not called upon, but they are active constantly, and their activities are monitored year-round. Written tests are different as well. Students receive a historical source and have to analyse and interpret it in 90-180 minutes. It is demanding, but it prepares them well for the written part of final exams.
“To have a bilingual education also means meeting a German teacher face-to-face, getting to know his way of thinking, and this cannot be replaced by any Slovak teacher,” Vojtaššáková opined for TASR.
It was a long time in the making, but we finally got our hands, eyes and ears on the PlayStation VR in 2016. While not quite as powerful as some of its rivals, it's less expensive, can run from your existing PS4, and is a whole lot of fun to use once you're up and running.
The next question is how will Sony develop its VR accessory in the future? We've already seen a PS4 update in the form of the PlayStation 4 Pro, so a PlayStation VR 2 might not be too far behind. Here's everything we've heard about the next-gen VR headset so far.
The (short) history of PlayStation VR might give us some clues about where Sony is heading in the future - remember the days when the headset was known as Project Morpheus?
Development on Morpheus (or the PlayStation VR) began as far back as 2011 according to Sony engineers, but as the VR teams at Samsung, Oculus and HTC also found, it's only in the last couple of years that the technology has caught up with the VR hardware vision.
Project Morpheus was official announced as a real bit of kit at the Game Developers Conference in March 2014. It actually looked very much like it does today, and we walked away from our hands-on very impressed with the prototype.
It would be another two-and-a-half years before the PlayStation VR would go on sale, having changed its name along the way - the official launch date was the 13th of October 2016, with prices starting at £349/$399.
What does this tell us about the PlayStation VR 2? Perhaps not much - but the PS VR's long gestation period might suggest a refresh cycle that isn't all that short. As far as VR goes, it would appear Sony is keen to get everything right rather than rush out a product.
Sony is staying tight-lipped about how many PlayStation VR unit it has sold so far, although analysts don't seem particularly optimistic about its impact on the market. Of course, the choice of games is only going to get better.
If 2016 was the year when virtual reality broke through into the consumer market, then 2017 is the year when it has to prove its staying power.
In other words, the manufacturers have proved they can actually get this hardware together in a form that works and at a price that's affordable - but will anyone actually want to buy any of it?
Consumer demand and sales figures are likely to have some influence on when we can expect to see the PlayStation 2 arrive - if no one wants to buy the first incarnation then Sony is likely to take longer over the second one to make sure it is a hit.
We've only got one PS VR launch to go off, so predicting when a second might arrive is tricky. We certainly wouldn't expect it in 2017 or even necessarily in 2018. A lot might depend on when the PlayStation 5 appears, but Sony's next-generation console is slated for a 2020 launch, so that's quite a while to wait.
Ultimately, Sony will upgrade its PS VR headset when it needs to - and considering the PlayStation VR works fine with both the PlayStation 4 and the PS4 Pro, there's no pressing need to bring out a version 2.0 until the other hardware gets an upgrade.
The bad news is we might not see a PS VR 2 for a few years yet. The good news is that it should be a lot more powerful when it finally does arrive.
Right now you need a separate PS VR processing unit between the headset and your console, but this is likely to get ditched the second time around - the PS5 should have enough raw power to drive VR on its own.
Whether or not Sony would make the PS VR 2 compatible with older consoles isn't clear.
Then of course we can expect the usual hardware upgrades - a higher-quality resolution display, more advanced graphics and audio capabilities, and a more immersive experience. The PS VR has a 5.7-inch, 960 x 1,080 OLED display for each eye, which doesn't match up too favourably with the 1,080 x 1,200 resolution of the Oculus Rift.
The other area where the likes of the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive are way out in front is with controllers. The PlayStation VR makes use of the traditional Move Motion Controllers, which don't always work perfectly in a VR space, and we'd expect some new, dedicated VR controllers to appear second time around.
Better hardware, better controllers... and perhaps wireless connectivity. This is something HTC and Oculus are looking at too, and it would free you from being chained to your console. By the time the PlayStation VR 2 appears, the technology should be advanced enough to allow for a cable-free experience.
The headset will undoubtedly be lighter and more comfortable too, as Sony works out how to cram improved hardware into a smaller space. Whatever your thoughts on the PS VR 1, the PS VR 2 should be well worth waiting for.
TORONTO — The federal government will end up with the power to regulate almost every facet of life — such as when you can drive or where you can live — if its law aimed at curbing harmful greenhouse gas emissions is allowed to stand, Ontario’s top court heard Monday.
The law is so broad, a lawyer for the province said on Day 1 of a four-day Appeal Court hearing, that it would give the Ottawa powers that would destabilize Canada in the name of curbing the cumulative effects of global-warming emissions.
Hunter said Ontario’s constitutional challenge to the federal Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act was not intended as a debate on the realities or dangers of global warming. What’s at stake, he said, is which level of government has the power to deal with the problem.
The Liberal government, which is due to make submissions on Tuesday, insists its law is an appropriate response to the nationally important issue of climate change. The aim, the government says, is to cajole people into changing their behaviour.
The justices repeatedly pressed Hunter to explain what Ottawa should do if a province doesn’t want to tackle greenhouse gas emissions, thereby undermining other provinces.
“The effect is that you’re regulating local industries, local land use, local heating,” Hunter said.
Those steps, Hunter told court, include shutting down coal-fired power plants — a measure taken by the previous Liberal government — which has sharply reduced the province’s harmful emissions.
In addition, he said, the province is developing a “made in Ontario environmental plan” that is still under consideration.
Hunter also argued the law slaps a “tax” on ordinary people every time they drive to work or heat their homes. In response, the justices pointed out that Ottawa is promising to return almost all the money it collects to people in the affected provinces.
“It’s not just that you get back what you give,” he said.
Hunter’s co-counsel Padraic Ryan said even if the justices accept the law as constitutional, the charge as levied on carbon is illegal. Giving everyone a tax does not help reduce greenhouse gases, he said.
A scheme which matches trained volunteer readers with primary pupils has helped more than 50 youngsters.
So far, the Get Norfolk Reading campaign, which is run by the Transforming Education in Norfolk (TEN) Group in partnership with national charity Beanstalk, has trained 21 readers since its launch earlier this year.
They have been regularly reading with one-to-one pupils in 12 primary schools around Norfolk, with a further three having recently joined the scheme and 10 more volunteers ready to be placed in schools.
They include Lucy Mole, from Ridlington, near Happisburgh, who has been working with three pupils at Bacton Primary since September.

LONDON: Nirav Modi, the main accused in the $2 billion PNB scam case, has been arrested in London and remanded in custody by a court till March 29.
His arrest came days after a London court issued an arrest warrant against him in response to a request by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for his extradition in a money laundering case.
It emerged in court that Nirav Modi was arrested from a Metro Bank branch in London by uniformed officers on Tuesday when he went there to open a new bank account.
A bank clerk alerted Scotland Yard as a result of the "high publicity" surrounding the case and Metropolitan Police officers arrived to execute the arrest. This over-rode a previous arrangement made between Scotland Yard's extradition unit and Nirav Modi's lawyers for him to surrender “by appointment” at a central London police station on Monday, something his legal team blamed on the “nature of publicity” surrounding the case.
The location of the arrest indicates that Nirav, wanted in India in connection with the Rs 13,500 crore Punjab National Bank scam case, was arrested from the area where he was reportedly living.
A British daily had recently published a report and video showing Nirav Modi walking on the streets of London and said the fugitive diamantaire was living in a swanky £8 million apartment in the city's West End.
It also emerged in court that Nirav Modi was in possession of at least three passports, all revoked by India.
The court was told that Nirav Modi arrived in London in January last year before any of the allegations emerged and has maintained a very "visible" presence in the country and offered to cooperate with the UK authorities since his arrival.
He is currently employed by Diamond Holdings Ltd in London for a monthly salary of 20,000 pounds and pays his council tax regularly, his lawyers stressed in support of his defence.
Nirav Modi and his uncle, Mehul Choksi, are the main accused in the PNB scam and they both left India before the details of the fraud came to light in January 2018.
Nirav Modi had launched his own eponymous brand in 2010 and he soon opened stores across India, as well as in New York, London and Hong Kong.
His diamond-encrusted designs were worn by noted Hollywood as well as Bollywood stars.
His jewellery shops were raided and his assets frozen after the allegations emerged last year.
In the U.S., the private sector barely invests in any energy research. Where U.S. industries, as a whole, spend an average of 2.6%of their revenue on R&D, the energy industry invests a paltry 0.23% of revenue on any kind of research -- clean or conventional. This includes funding for expensive research into conventional fuels, such as ultra-deep water drilling and new oil refining techniques.
This stands in stark contrast with the hyper-competitive pharmaceutical industry, where new drugs supplant old ones every year. Pharmaceutical companies spend 19% of revenues, or about $39 billion each year on R&D. Even the American automakers still invest $17.5 billion in R&D.
