Published by skeptic

Boyd Gaming is preparing to hand over one of downtown Shreveport’s best-known casinos, agreeing to sell Sam’s Town Hotel & Casino to Bally’s Corporation in a deal that reshapes the city’s gaming landscape. The Las Vegas company confirmed Thursday (February 26) that it has signed a definitive agreement to transfer ownership of Sam’s Town Shreveport, which has been under Boyd’s control since 2004. The property sits right next door to Bally’s Shreveport Casino & Hotel, meaning the two neighboring venues will soon share the same parent company once regulators sign off.

Exclusive-Broadcom expects to sell 1 million 3D stacked chips by 2027

Exclusive-Broadcom expects to sell 1 million 3D stacked chips by 2027

Published by Sam Flores

SAN JOSE, California, Feb 26 : Artificial intelligence chip designer Broadcom said that it expects to sell at least 1 million chips by 2027 based on its stacked design tech, an executive told Reuters on Wednesday. The forecast, which Reuters is the first to report, marks a new product and sales target for Broadcom that could represent a revenue stream potentially worth billions of dollars. Harish Bharadwaj, vice president of product marketing, said the 1 million chips the company projects it will sell are based on an approach Broadcom developed that stacks two chips on top of one another, allowing the distinct pieces of silicon to be tightly bound to improve the speed at which data can flow from one chip to another. The company has refined the technology over five years to the point where its first customer, Fujitsu, is making engineering samples to test the design. Fujitsu plans to produce the stacked, or 3D, chips later this year.  The million-chip figure includes several additional designs beyond the Fujitsu chip. The company’s stacking approach …

West Virginia Introduces Bill To Sell Machine Guns To American Citizens

West Virginia Introduces Bill To Sell Machine Guns To American Citizens

Published by Jenni Sidey

Submitted by Gun Owners of America, State Legislators in West Virginia have just introduced a bill, authored by Gun Owners of America, that would authorize the State to sell machineguns to citizens. Currently, newly manufactured machineguns are banned for civilian ownership thanks to an amendment slipped into the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act. Known as the “Hughes Amendment”—named for Representative William J. Hughes, a Democrat from New Jersey—this amendment banned all civilian ownership of machineguns made after May 19, 1986. While machineguns made and registered prior to the ban date can still be transferred, the law of supply and demand has created a massive disparity, as most ordinary Americans simply cannot afford these much sought after items. Interestingly, though, the language of the Hughes Amendment specifies that the machinegun ban doesn’t apply to the government, which includes state and local governments. Specifically, 18 USC Section 922(o) reads: This subsection does not apply with respect to— a transfer to or by, or possession by or under the authority of, the United States or any department or …

OpenAI may sell a smart speaker with facial recognition camera

OpenAI may sell a smart speaker with facial recognition camera

Published by skeptic

It’s no secret that OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is losing money at a rapid clip. Some estimates suggest the company will run out of cash sometime in 2027 — and even a possible $100 billion investment round won’t keep the lights on for long. What might help? A new product — specifically, one designed by Sir Jony Ive, the Apple veteran brought on board last May at a cost of $6.5 billion — assuming it can launch while the company still has cash in the bank. Despite multiple setbacks, OpenAI has said Ive’s first product will be announced this year, even as they’re staying tight-lipped about what it actually is. Now The Information says it has the details on that first launch: An AI-powered smart speaker with a facial recognition camera built in. Reportedly, it will cost between $200 and $300. But — and given the situation, this is a huge but — we won’t get to see it until Feb. 2027 at the earliest. The camera will “allow people to buy things by …

Christie’s to Sell Wassily Kandinsky Painting in London

Christie’s to Sell Wassily Kandinsky Painting in London

Published by José Betancourt

Wassily Kandinsky’s Le Rond Rouge (1939) will headline Christie’s 20th/21st Century evening sale in London on March 5. The house has slapped at £15.5 million high estimate on the Russian modernist heavyweight’s painting, which measures 35 inches by 45.7 inches. It was painted when Kandinsky lived in Paris with his wife Nina toward the end of his career. The couple moved to France from Germany in 1933 to escape the growing hostility of the Nazi regime. Kandinsky quickly immersed himself in the Paris’ avant-garde art circles and developed a new visual vocabulary that pushed his work into unexpected directions. “Le Rond Rouge is recognized as a key work from Kandinsky’s Paris period: a powerful, vibrant and large scale expression of his enduring commitment to abstraction, experimentation, and the emotional power of colour and form,” Keith Gill, Christie’s vice-chairman of 20th/21st century art, said in a statement. “It is an honour to present this masterpiece in our London season, as I remember the work well from its long-term loan to The Courtauld Gallery [from 2002 to 2018].” …

Casey Wasserman to Sell Agency Amid Epstein Files Scandal

Casey Wasserman to Sell Agency Amid Epstein Files Scandal

Published by Daniella Wilson

Casey Wasserman is putting his agency up for sale, the mogul announced in a memo to staff Friday night, following a week of intense scrutiny and criticism from his roster after suggestive emails he’d sent to Ghislaine Maxwell had surfaced in the Epstein Files. In the memo, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Wasserman said that he had “become a distraction” from his company’s operations, confirming he’d sell the agency, though he didn’t specify to whom. Wasserman said that Mike Watts would oversee day-to-day operations of the business during the sales process “while I devote my full attention to delivering Los Angeles an Olympic Games in 2028 that is worthy of this outstanding city.” “First and foremost, I want to apologize to you,” Wasserman wrote in the memo. “I’m deeply sorry that my past personal mistakes have caused you so much discomfort. It’s not fair to you, and it’s not fair to the clients and partners we represent so vigorously and care so deeply about.” The decision follows significant pressure from the music department in particular, …

Sotheby’s to Sell Works by Monet, Signac, Degas, and Léger in Spring

Published by José Betancourt

A quartet of masterpieces by Claude Monet, Paul Signac, Edgar Degas, and Fernand Léger will hit the auction block at Sotheby’s London this spring. The paintings are part of the house’s Modern and Contemporary evening sale on March 4 and have a combined high estimate of £24 million. Monet’s Maison de Jardinier (1884) spearheads the group. It was painted during the artist’s ten-week sojourn on the Italian riviera and conveys the famous garden of Francesco Moreno in Bordighera. Sotheby’s has slapped an £8.5 million high estimate on the work. Paintings from Monet’s trip to Italy in 1884 rarely hit the market and several of the finest examples are held in museums including the Musée d’Orsay, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago. The other three paintings are Signac’s Marseille, Le Port (1934), Léger’s Les Hommes dans la Ville (1919)—both have a £6 million high estimate—and Degas’ Scène de Ballet (circa 1885), high estimate £3.5 million. “This collection represents a powerfully concentrated capsule of the history of …
