二 | CONCORD, N.H. -- The New Hampshire presidential primary filing period starts Wednesday, a ritual unruffled by either a changing of the guard or changes to the nominating calendar elsewhere.For the first time in more than four decades, candidates will file paperwork with a new secretary of state thanks to the retirement last year of longtime elections chief Bill Gardner. But his successor, David Scanlan, is carrying on the tradition of ensuring New Hampshire remains first, waiting for the dust to settle in other states before scheduling the 2024 contest.“I’m really in no hurry,” he said in an interview Tuesday.In contrast, the candidates themselves — particularly the longshots — often are in a race to sign up first in hopes that a bit of media attention will boost their campaigns. In 1991, a writer from New York drove 11 hours in a snowstorm only to find another perennial candidate waiting at the door. In 2007, a Minnesota fugitive living in Italy sent a package by courier that arrived just before an ex-convict embarked on a 90-minute rant that included five costume changes.Current candidates have until Oct. 27 to sign up, and dozens are expected to do in part because it’s relatively cheap and easy. They need only meet the basic requirements to be president, fill out a one-page form and pay a $1,000 filing fee.In 2020, 33 Democrats and 17 Republicans signed up. The all-time high was 1992, when 61 people got on the ballot. But this cycle could be notable instead for whose name isn’t on the ballot.New Hampshire, with its state law requiring its primaries to be held first, is defying the Democratic National Committee’s new primary calendar which calls for South Carolina to kick off voting on Feb. 3, followed by New Hampshire and Nevada. The shakeup came at the request of President Joe Biden in a bid to empower Black and other minority voters crucial to the party’s base.Biden’s campaign won’t comment on whether he will be on the ballot in New Hampshire. But he wouldn’t be the first reelection-seeking incumbent missing from the primary ballot: President Lyndon Johnson won the 1968 Democratic primary as a write-in, though a shockingly strong-second place showing by Sen. Eugene McCarthy helped push him out of the race.Scanlan, who served as deputy secretary of state for 20 years, said he was excited to welcome candidates starting Wednesday. Like his predecessor, he plans to greet them with a few encouraging words, but don’t expect the obscure trivia Gardner often added.“I don’t have any history lessons planned,” Scanlan said. “That was Bill’s style, and he was really, really good at it.”。RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell 工作站版本身就是一款价格不菲的产品,售价通常在 1.2 万至 1.6 万美元(现汇率约合 80,917 元至 10.8 万元人民币)之间。

三 | 与让英伟达成名的游戏显卡不同,这款产品主要面向 AI 开发等高强度专业任务。英伟达将其称为“有史以来性能最强大的桌面 GPU”。

四 | 
在整场拍卖中,成交价最高的是一台罕见的“Neumark”Apple-1 电脑。经过修复后,这台设备已经恢复正常工作,最终以 499,363 美元(现汇率约合 336.7 万元人民币)成交。

五 | 作为整场拍卖的主要亮点之一,多件与史蒂夫 · 乔布斯有关的个人物品也被拍出,其中包括曾挂在他客厅里的照片、写给父亲的一张便条、存放在乔布斯家庭住所中的电脑零部件,甚至还有他八年级时完成的科学展览项目。与乔布斯数十年前留下的作品不同,这块由黄仁勋签名的 GPU 仅用了几个月时间就获得了如此高的收藏价值。

六 | 根据 RR Auction 的介绍,这块显卡最初是 2026 年 GTC Physical AI Meetup 活动中的抽奖奖品。

七 | 该活动于今年 3 月英伟达年度 GTC 大会期间举行。尽管这块显卡最终拍出了 57,450 美元(现汇率约合 38.7 万元人民币)的高价,但这一成交价仍远低于目前公开拍卖中可能最昂贵的黄仁勋相关物品。

八 | 今年 7 月,苏富比拍卖了一件黄仁勋穿过并亲笔签名的 Tom Ford 夹克,最终以 96 万美元(现汇率约合 647.3 万元人民币)成交,拍卖所得用于资助一家非营利组织,为新一代创业者提供奖学金和驻留项目支持。

九 | 这件夹克最初的估价仅为 4 万至 6 万美元(现汇率约合 27 万至 40.5 万元人民币),但最终成交价接近 100 万美元(现汇率约合 674.3 万元人民币),远远超出拍卖行的预期。
