NVIDIA announces CEO transition. Read the release: nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/n…
Charles Cheng retweeted
Jensen Huang rescued me from probably living in debt the rest of my life. I was told I was one of just three hires that he approved during the pandemic, during a hiring freeze. I've never spoken to him, and only passed by him in HQ once. His personal life is frankly none of my business. But as a leader, I have yet to meet a better one. Ousting him is financial suicide, and I can only assume there is a hidden ulterior motive because I can't fathom any other reason for destroying the company's value.

This is f*cking insane
Everyone is talking about Jensen Huang's affair this week. Almost nobody is talking about what he said about paying $8 billion in taxes
Nvidia CEO, asked about California's billionaire tax:
"The fact that I can afford to pay $8 billion in taxes over five years is a privilege"
"I'm not afraid of paying taxes. I'm just afraid of being poor"
In 3 minutes, he explains why he's fine paying it while other billionaires spend millions fighting it:
0:31 - "I don't mind paying taxes. Why not?"
0:33 - The one thing he hates: tax dollars wasted
1:05 - "I am the ultimate American dream"
2:13 - The question: $8B over five years, still worth it?
2:37 - Afraid of being poor, not of taxes
2:51 - Why he pays his people as much as possible, not as little
When billionaires fight a tax, most people blame greed
Jensen is teaching the math underneath:
country → education → company → merit → success → taxes
Old way: pay as little as possible, to the state and to your people
New way: paying more is the proof you won
Better than any $2,000 finance course I've seen
Is he right or is that easy to say when you're a billionaire?

‼️BREAKING: A critical flaw in Synology NAS devices lets attackers read and write any file on them without logging in.
The SQL injection bug in their login system scores 9.8 out of 10. A second flaw, in rsync, skips the login too.
Synology patched both today. Update ASAP.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Synology did not patch these flaws "today"; the DSM security updates (e.g. 7.4.1-90080-1 and branch equivalents) were released in October 2026, with the Nov 10 advisory disclosing details of those already-available fixes.

Can I ask a dumb question?
Is a 4-bit quantized 70B model actually smarter than a full-precision 8B model?

JR東日本、羽田空港アクセス線のトンネルを11月16日に掘削開始
nikkei.com/article/DGXZQOUC0…
周囲の陥没を防ぐため土砂の管理に注意し、1年かけて掘ります。「東山手ルート」が開業すると羽田空港と東京駅は乗り換えが不要となり、移動時間が18分に短縮されます。
