In 1998 I was working for startup Raycer Graphics in Palo Alto, which was a Paul Allen funded direct competitor to Nvidia. We never had a chance. ๐Ÿคฃ

I worked for Jensen just a couple years back in 1998-1999 in the 5 person IT group of the time. Even back then his drive and that personality was contagious to *everyone* and folks happily/routinely there 6-7 days a week to test ideas and heโ€™d pop in with that smile, encouragement, and challenge you. (A family move unfortunately cut my employment short as we moved east coast)

Ukraine is getting destroyed fighting this war. Fuentes appeals to idiots.
"Do you want to know why I'm becoming more pro-Ukraine? Because Russia's losing, that's why," Commentator Nick Fuentes said regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Republican voters in Texas dropped off sharply from 2024. Dem voters increased by a smaller amount. A number of MAGA propagandists are posting fake numbers on X in an apparent effort to create another January 6.
Replying to @TonyClimate
Tony, I have to disagree with you, it seems republican did show up to vote. The thing is that the dems came up with 19 million voters to over take themโ€ฆThat was some hard work they didโ€ฆ

Trump promised to cut energy prices in half and then doubled them. Is he also a socialist?
Replying to @TonyClimate
This is normal in socialist and socialdemocratic societies.

Gas prices started dropping in September when the White House realized that bombing Iran was going to cost them the election. Average price around the US is still more than $1.00 higher than the start of the year. gasbuddy.com/charts
Trump told us gas would plummet after midterms. He was right.

CUDA was released twenty years ago this week, and I immediately started developing one of the first commercial products using it - a computer vision tool for a Cambridge DNA sequencing company. We had waited several months for the release.
Iโ€™ve decided to leave NVIDIA. There are a few things I want to say. As a robotics engineer at NVIDIA, I have seen Jensen as much more than the companyโ€™s CEO. I admire his willingness to invest in a future that was not yet obvious. He committed to CUDA long before the deep learning boom and positioned NVIDIA for AI before it became everyoneโ€™s priority. Those decisions helped build the infrastructure that powers todayโ€™s AI. I have seen that same vision in physical AI: investing in robotics, sharing open-source tools and projects, and building computing platforms that bring AI into the physical world. This is the work I do every dayโ€”and a future I believe in. But what matters most to me is the culture he helped build. Engineers are encouraged to explore, take risks, and learn from mistakes. Jensen reads employeesโ€™ Top 5 emails, follows their work, and engages directly. In a company this large, that connection matters. It makes an individual engineer feel that their ideas can still be heard. That is why this has been so disappointing. I do not have all the facts surrounding the allegations, and I cannot prejudge the investigation. My admiration for Jensen does not put him above scrutiny. What I find difficult to accept is having to come to terms with his departure before receiving an explanation that helps me understand it. What this means for our direction, our culture, and the people doing the work remains unclear to me. I have felt that engineersโ€™ perspectives matter here. On this decision, I have not felt heard. That gap has been more painful than I expected. I understand that some information cannot be shared immediately. But that does not erase the feeling of being left outside a decision that affects the company we help build every day. A companyโ€™s greatness comes from its leadership, its governance, and the people who turn its ambitions into reality. Employeesโ€™ trust and sense of belonging are part of that, too. Jensenโ€™s vision and the engineering culture he shaped were important reasons I wanted to stay. His departure led me to decide that my own chapter here should also come to a close. I leave with sadness and gratitude. The colleagues I have worked with, and the work we believed in together, will always matter to me. These are my personal views.

I am Ukrainian. In '22 I naturally wanted my country to win. In '22 I was a patriot. In '22, I volunteered to the AFU. Today, I couldn't care less. Ukraine is a shithole of bottomless corruption. The ideology is a death cult. I am not pro-Russian. I am pro-sanity. I do not care.

Talarico has Obama's charismatic style, but unlike Obama, Talarico says things which actually make sense. The GOP foolishly ignored this during the election and paid a huge price for it. youtu.be/SGV12z5a0lQ

Osoff, Talarico, El Sayed and Mamdani are all rock stars compared to the current GOP cast of characters. I suggest that you actually spend some time watching them speak on YouTube. If the GOP wants to win in 2028 they need to look at the world objectively.
Replying to @TonyClimate
AOC didn't run for President in 2024. Talarico, El Sayed will not run in 2028. Mamdani(born in Uganda) can't run. I know your talking about them yelling things in the media to influence voters but those 3 are a detriment. They are all mentally impaired
