Strategically positioned near emerging shipping routes, the island has drawn interest from the U.S., Russia, China and Europe. But Greenland’s untapped wealth sits under the ground. With significant deposits of rare earth elements and other critical minerals, the mining industry could boost the territory’s slowing economy. But can it make its people rich? 14:10 4 hours ago Gaelle Legrand

Researchers at Nvidia have developed a technique that can reduce the memory costs of large language model reasoning by up to eight times. Their technique, called dynamic memory sparsification (DMS), compresses the key value (KV) cache, the temporary memory LLMs generate and store as they process prompts and reason through problems and documents. While researchers have proposed various methods to compress this cache before, most struggle to do so without degrading the model's intelligence. Nvidia's approach manages to discard much of the cache while maintaining (and in some cases improving) the model's reasoning capabilities. Experiments show that DMS enables LLMs to "think" longer and explore more solutions without the usual penalty in speed or memory costs. The bottleneck of reasoning LLMs improve their performance on complex tasks by generating " chain-of-thought " tokens, essentially writing out their reasoning steps before arriving at a final answer. Inference-time scaling techniques leverage this by giving the model a larger budget to generate these thinking tokens or to explore multiple potential reasoning paths in parallel. However, this improved reasoning comes with a significant computational cost. As the model generates more tokens, it builds up a KV cache . For real-world applications, the KV cache is a major bottleneck. As the reasoning chain grows, the cache grows linearly, consuming vast amounts of memory on GPUs. This forces the hardware to spend more time reading data from memory than actually computing, which slows down generation and increases latency. It also caps the number of users a system can serve simultaneously, as running out of VRAM causes the system to crash or slow to a crawl. Nvidia researchers frame this not just as a technical hurdle, but as a fundamental economic one for the enterprise. "The question isn't just about hardware quantity; it's about whether your infrastructure is processing 100 reasoning threads or 800 threads for the s...

Victor Hanson On Our Super Bowl Satyricon Authored by Victor Davis Hanson via American Greatness, In recent years, Americans have known what to expect from our Neronian Super Bowl halftime shows: mediocre music veneered over with gaudy, flashily lit, but ultimately empty and meaningless sets. As seen again this year, the usual array of supporting dancers twerk and simulate intercourse, in sync with the main singer, mindlessly grabbing his/her genitals—apparently to highlight the explicit sexual allusions of mostly nonsensical lyrics. For some strange reason, this Roman orgiastic ritual is supposedly designed by the NFL each year to appeal to American families of all ages as they gather together around the living room TV on their festive cultural holiday. But the script has now grown predictable and trite. This year’s mess jumped the shark and had a force-multiplying boring effect on one of the most tedious Super Bowl games in history. The decision to have Bad Bunny as the main attraction to sing solely in Spanish—only 14 percent of the U.S. population is fluent in Spanish, while 90 percent is proficient in English—was apparently designed to grow the NFL’s global audience, particularly in the Western Hemisphere, or perhaps to shock America to get accustomed to its new official multilingual identity. Yet of the anticipated 60 million Americans who likely watched this flat show, more than 50 million of them could neither read nor comprehend Spanish. And they had previously been insulted by Bunny to hurry up and learn Spanish before the game—or else? How odd that America provides translations of every conceivable language in its courts, hospitals, and schools for minorities of non-English-speaking residents. And yet at its annual signature sporting event, the marquee and main-event non-English speaker would not even provide translations for the vast majority of the viewing population. Part of the hype of Bunny’s appearance was his supposedly edgy decision to perform ent...

Nvidia Corp. is expected to lease a data center being built with funds from a $3.8 billion junk-bond sale, adding to the borrowing frenzy around artificial-intelligence infrastructure. An entity backed by asset manager Tract Capital will sell the debt to finance a portion of the construction of a 200-megawatt data center and substation in Storey County, Nevada, according to people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be named discussing a private transaction. The size of the bond deal was increased by $150 million on Thursday afternoon, a sign of positive demand. Pricing discussions are for a yield of around 6%, the people added. A representative for Tract declined to comment. Nvidia didn’t respond to requests for comment. Data center developers have been tapping the high-yield bond market in recent months to finance the construction of new facilities. A pair of crypto miners — Cipher Mining Inc. and TeraWulf Inc. — did so with a backstop from Google , and Applied Digital Corp. raised money for facilities that would rely on junk-rated CoreWeave Inc. as the main tenant.

Earnings Call Insights: Leggett & Platt (LEG) Q4 2025 Management View President, CEO & Executive Chairman Karl Glassman highlighted that "we delivered on those priorities and made significant progress to position the business to accelerate when residential end markets turn." The company has "substantially completed the restructuring plan we launched in early 2024," achieving greater EBIT benefit at lower cost than expected. Glassman noted the divestiture of the Aerospace business, with after-tax proceeds used to retire commercial paper and reduce leverage, moving closer to a long-term target of 2x. Glassman indicated continued focus on "improving our cost structure and enhance profitability across our businesses." Highlights include growth in semi-finished products like Eco-Base and ComfortCore, expansion in Specialty Foam, progress in Automotive innovation, a new Home Furniture facility in Vietnam, and deeper penetration into specialty textile markets. Glassman acknowledged ongoing weak residential markets but expressed confidence in capturing incremental volume when demand recovers. The restructuring and portfolio simplification are expected to yield sustainable improvements in profitability and cash flow. Executive VP & CFO Benjamin Burns stated, "Fourth quarter sales were $939 million, down 11% versus the fourth quarter of 2024," citing sales weakness in certain customers, retailer changes, and soft residential demand. He reported, "Fourth quarter EBIT was $32 million and adjusted EBIT was $48 million," and "Fourth quarter earnings per share was $0.18. On an adjusted basis, fourth quarter EPS was $0.22, a 5% increase from fourth quarter 2024 adjusted EPS of $0.21." Burns summarized that "operating cash flow was $338 million, an increase of $33 million versus 2024," with year-end net debt to adjusted EBITDA decreasing from 3.8x to 2.4x. He confirmed the restructuring plan delivered "a full run rate of approximately $70 million of EBIT benefit." Outlook Burns prov...

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Maplebear ( CART ), more commonly known as Instacart, is rallying in Thursday’s after-hours trading as the company’s fourth quarter results reflected double-digit growth across almost all metrics, a higher customer retention rate, and nearly $1B in revenue. During the final quarter of the year, Instacart realized a 14% growth in gross transaction value (GTV), 16% increase in orders, a 13% gain in transaction revenue, and a 10% gain in ad revenue, all of which contributed to a 12% increase in total revenue to a better-than-expected $992M (versus $970M estimates). The company also noted that new customer retention rate was the strongest it’s been since early 2023, and 10M customers placed at least one order in December alone. Profits, however, were curbed by a $60M settlement with the Federal Trade Commission in connection with claims that Instacart ( CART ) used deceptive practices pertaining to its membership fees and return policies. As a result, the company earned $0.30 per share, down from $0.53 a year earlier and $0.22 below expectations. Looking ahead to Q1, Instacart ( CART ) sees GTV rising 11% to 13% to a range of $10.125B to $10.275B, and adjusted EBITDA up 15% to 19% to be between $280M and $290M. “Our strategy is working. Our operating fundamentals are strong. And our teams are executing well across our marketplace, enterprise platform, and advertising and data offerings. We have multiple engines for growth and multiple levers to drive efficiency and reinvestment,” Instacart CEO Chris Rogers said in a letter to shareholders. Shares are up more than 15% in after-hours trading.
