Here’s an expert call on how Chinese companies are renting access to Nvidia chips overseas. Pretty interesting stuff.

I find it strange that AI people who would obviously be aware of the serious allegations of circumventing US laws to sell compute to China are trying to make this all about extramarital affairs. We all know what this is about and it’s not affairs.
NVIDIA would be wrong to fire Jensen. His marital indiscretions are between him, his wife, and a reprimand from the board. Have some proportionality.

New cross-cultural mix of genres of Tibetan electronic dance music, with the Tibetan dramyin(སྒྲ་སྙན་) lute and influences from American bluegrass music. Been listening on repeat all day yesterday. credit to: handhat from tibet.

the governments of many nations count on the stability of being able to run Chinese OSS over the potentially mercurial export of American model inference over an API. just the things I’ve observed, there’s not a recommendation I’m making

The coexistence of RSI with a fundamentally bottlenecky world will give rise to a late 2020s that feels like this: the rich strangeness of hyperfuture living alongside large swaths of unchanged or even regressing social practice, a temporal redshift all over your perception
reading the METR report on RSI and then going to the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new on site recycling bins for my apartment block

Sad about Jensen. Shakespearean. But as de Gaulle said, “The graveyards are filled with indispensable men.”

We're launching Gemini 4 Hydrogen to all paid users on Antigravity (will expand to more users over time). It’s a great model - faster, more efficient, and better than Gemini 3.8 Flash on most evals. We’re also launching Orchestrator in the Antigravity dropdown which allows both Carbon and Hydrogen to work to complete your tasks. We’ve found that it consumes 24% less quota and gets the same tasks done 19% faster. Using Hydrogen with both Orchestrator and swarms have become very popular internally and excited for all of you to try.

Seeing a lot of posts wondering "how could this happen, Jensen was supposed to be the clean cut, honest adult in the room." Meanwhile I'm remembering the 2019 Nvidia intern party at his house where he got hammered and said some of the craziest shit I've ever heard a F500 CEO say

beware of putting too much stock in your heroes. greatness is a transitory phenomenon. it is never consistent the gods briefly act through Men and then leave them to their ordinary fate

achievement is cheap. there are swaths of lost people fueled by automated, incessant shame that can only be dulled by "success." character, on the other hand, is expensive, rare, even priceless; it is a divine endowment and a responsibility all at once.

NVIDIA went to great lengths to care for it's Ukrainian, Russian, Israeli, and Palestinian employees during times of global strife. I never worried about layoffs at NVIDIA - even in macroeconomic downtime or when I felt like I was "lost in the woods" in between projects and not having the impact that I wanted. Some companies say that they are a family. Jensen was always clear that that is not the case. NVIDIA believes that employees are among its greatest assets, and NVIDIA's willing to make long-term investments in those employees.
Jensen Huang allowed me to get an O-1 and later a Green Card. He handled my family's complicated health insurance. You could email him directly with a non-work problem. He did this to thousands of other people in some of the riskiest fields of science and engineering.
