[Cancelled] Heroes Season 4 (Volume 5 : Redemption)


Recommended Posts

8pm (central) still Rappy? I swear I've asked it a million times but this time I'm actually going to write it down! Putting the fall schedule into my phone currently so I don't forget.

On another note, NBC really has me booked so far. Chuck (eventually), Law and Order:SVU, Heroes, and I'm going to start watching that new Community show with Joel McHale.

I am not sure on the time but I would imagine they won't change it.

Heroes and Sprint have partnered for several webseries since the NBC series began, but the connection between the main series and webseries will grow closer this year.

Heroes' new season begins with the next volume, "Redemption", and the introduction of a carnival that is the home to several major new super-powered characters. Meanwhile, the next ten-part webseries, launching September 28th, will focus on that carnival, with three characters from the series also playing a part in the webseries.

In addition, a new character introduced in the webseries will then appear on Heroes this season ? the daughter to carnival member Lydia (played by Dawn Olivieri). Like her mother, Lydia will have a power of her own.

Below is the full press release for the new webseries:

Well, now that Heroes is finally going to arrive, in just like 4 days, I think I'll rejoin this thread. I have kept away from a lot of the spoilers, but recently did a quick catch up. Season seemed to be crappy at first, but the more i've seen, the more I'm looking forward to it. Lets hope this is a good refreshing beginning.

Any news as to whether this will be the last season or is there a chance we get another if this season somehow rockets up?

    • 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.

    • Regarding the AI photo, I LOVE AI in that regard, you ask it what you want and it gives you a lovey photo in under a minute, that would taken me an hour to make in photoshop and it wouldn't have looked nearly as good. 2 nights ago I spent a couple hours collaborating with AI.  I did not say write me an article. I would write one or 2  paragraphs, then I would ask it to clean it up so it read better but still keeps the information I was trying to convey.  Rinse repeat.
