Nvidia stiger med omkring 3,5 procent och är bara 5 procent från den rekordkurs som noterades i maj i år. Nvidia är världens största börsbolag med ett värde på över 5.400 miljarder dollar,  motsvarande 52.000 miljarder kronor.  Victor Hultgren DI 2 september 2026  https://www.di.se/live/nvidia-narmar-sig-rekord-betydande-uppsida-i-aktien/ Why is France being so nice to Britain?  One clue to the new entente may in fact lie not in the British Museum but in a superb new French two-part biopic of Charles de Gaulle, “La Bataille de Gaulle”.  Directed by Antonin Baudry, an ex-diplomat, it is—unusually for a French production—based on a British biography, “A Certain Idea of France: The Life of Charles de Gaulle”.

The Italian Grand Prix takes place this weekend at Monza, arguably the most historic venue on the calendar. Monza has hosted Formula 1 races more times than any other circuit, staging grands prix in all but one year since the inaugural season in 1950. Ferrari's Giuseppe Farina (nearest the camera), Maserati's Juan Manuel Fangio and Ferrari's Alberto Ascari, on the far side, line up before the start of the 1953 race. These three men shared the first eight Formula 1 world championships.   https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/articles/ckg8w8qj5z9o Valets viktigaste fråga präglas av felaktig information I en medievärld där vetenskap reduceras till åsikter och konkurrerar med sociala mediers ekokammare behöver Sverige ett nationellt informationsunderlag om klimatkrisen, skriver Johan Rockström, chef för Potsdaminstitutet för klimatforskning (PIK).

  Ja till Google i Torsboda Kommunfullmäktige i både Sundsvall och Timrå ställt sig bakom försäljningen av Torsboda Industrial Park till amerikanska Google.  AI- och datacenterprojektet är tänkt att bli en så kallad hyperscale-anläggning. Den första etappen kan enligt uppgifter behöva omkring 600 megawatt (MW) elektrisk effekt, med en möjlig ökning till omkring 1 000 MW och potentiellt 2 000 MW vid ytterligare utbyggnad.  En normalstor, svensk kärnkraftsreaktor producerar drygt 1 000 MW.

  Goldman Sachs, Blackstone and Apollo Global Management  had been working tirelessly for months to draw up debt deals  that would help developers of artificial intelligence systems pay for chips from Nvidia Corp. With slow progress on the complex deals, Nvidia’s chief executive officer, Jensen Huang, decided to change tack. He went public this week with the effort, saying the group is aiming to collectively finance AI computing deals totaling $500 billion — a round figure with no obvious provenance.
