Complete abdication of responsibility to shareholdeers for the board to not demand a succession plan.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s admission of an affair with a purported Chinese spy has raised questions about his future at the company, and what happens if the 63-year-old co-founder, who built the chipmaker into one of the most valuable businesses on the planet, is forced out. cnb.cx/3UNbpsi

True believers and grifters alike finding out Trump cares about nothing but himself. For the umpteenth time.
Don't overlook this: When Trump admitted immigration enforcement helped cause the GOP bloodbath, he actually undercut JD Vance. Trump acknowledged that Americans like immigrants. JD has been subtly trying to absolve white nationalism from any/all blame.

Trump Blurts Out Surprise Admission About Losses, Wrecking MAGA’s Spin
On 60 Minutes, he admitted that Americans like immigrants, after all. That doesn’t just directly contradict his new chief of staff, Stephen Miller. It harshly undercuts the whole MAGA worldview.

'No ordinary CEO': Why the AI race cannot do without Nvidia's Jensen Huang
On the streets of Taipei and Seoul, fans of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang mob him for autographs on books, posters and sometimes even on their bodies. In private, even billionaires Larry Ellison and Elon Musk were once reduced to "begging" for his coveted AI chips.

Those rules say young people should play on the team they think they should play on, and it's worked out fine so far.

Thinking about hedges, what they hold space for, and who is expected to use them in discourse about "AI". (This thread inspired by conversations with @lmesseri.bsky.social + editing a piece based on an interview I did, where the interviewer/author keeps adding hedges in their paraphrases of me.)

Chile's Atacama erupts in its biggest floral display in decades.
“rainwater penetrated deeper into the parched ground than it has in decades, allowing millions of seeds, bulbs and tubers to sprout above the surface. Many had lain dormant for decades under the sand.”

when you demand that Trump resign, you are making a gamble on the future. the gamble is that he will do something disqualifying relatively soon that will let you reiterate your case and say “see?? I was right”
I think that is a good gamble, personally.

Inverting the idea of courtyard housing,

Small-lot single-stair accessible flats overlooking a new public space, with street segments converted to a mini plaza, bike path & green infrastructure.
(in Vancouver we call that a Rainway / Parklet).

In fact, imagine a compromise, in which we know the eventual HSR line needs to hit downtown Olympia. Build the portion of the HSR line needed to do that, but tie it into the amtrak line for now.
Cascades uses it, Cascades is improved, until the other 400 miles of HSR line are built.
