What's always the interesting to me about these kinds of unfortunate interactions is how amplified they become as they are reported. The title of the post is "Dumb Widdle Girls in Tech." A quote from the author: "It’s impressive that you overcame the intellectually debilitating condition of being female to understand the nuances of deep learning." To be fair, much of the post was balanced, but those 2 things stood out to me.

I'm not defending what Huang said at all, but I do think that it's unfortunate that the worst possible extreme sexism is always assumed at the slightest off-color remark. Should remarks like these be career or position-ending? Let's see what happens.
