English Lit tomorrow. Not looking forward to it. Got B for my coursework though... Hmm. No biggie. I'm not stressed. I'm glad about that. I've never been stressed about exams. Clear mind, energy drink and jelly tots. That's all I need

Oh, and a pen.

Hehe, that reminded me of a poem I made a while back...

This way that way every way up way

My heart beats faster, my brain is at play

Nothing makes sense, nothing's in order

I can't wait for a feeling of bordem.

Too much going in, I need it to stop

it's coming out in shockwaves, that just won't drop

My. Brain. Stutters. Shut it up

Won't. Go. Away. Not in luck.

Two things on the table. A pen and a gun

Which do I choose, ready for the pun?

It's the pen.

The god damn pen.

was my class the only people who did the short stories from the Anthology? no one else in our year did it, they all did novels.  In my coursework, i got an A, i think i probably got a B in this, got 7 pages done

As long as you've (kinda) concentrated throughout the year, then you don't really need revision

I worked my ass off during the year and the moment study leave started I didnt do any revision (just played splinter cell multiplayer)

The only hardcore revision I did was cramming the night before the exams and still managed 11 A*'s

So yah, if you worked hard during the year, there's not really much need for revision.

If not, haul ass

Oh crap, speaking of revision, I've got my as levels comin up in 2 weeks.....shmeh I'll start revising next week

Erk, I'm predicted A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*.

I'm under so much pressure, I was terrified going into my English Literature exam this morning. I think I did OK.

I know how you feel. It's sooooo crap, when everyone expects you to get straight stars. It means that If you get an A people act as though you've failed. English lit was also the one I was msot worried about. You had to do your stuff from opening worlds / opening lines?

    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
    • I was expecting the end of the world to happen before this game or elder scroll 6 to come out.
    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
