u1hcw9nx··on Nvidia is preparing to oust Jensen Huang
1. Replace Jensen as the President in the board with Tim Cook.

2. Ian Buck as CEO (Inventor of CUDA, PhD, vice president of hyperscale and high-performance computing).

Right replacement could jump the stock 20%, mediocre replacement can drop it 20% from the current lows.

u1hcw9nx··on Jensen Huang said to have had relationship with executive who reports to him
They all are. No Jensen connections at all. All from finance or non related business.
u1hcw9nx··on Nvidia is preparing to oust Jensen Huang
Zuckerberg and Musk can't be fired. They own controlling share.
u1hcw9nx··on Nvidia is preparing to oust Jensen Huang
The only issue is finding replacement, Only 5 days to earnings.
u1hcw9nx··on Jensen Huang said to have had relationship with executive who reports to him
He is very hands on. He has more direct reports than other other tech CEOs. I think close to 40. Someone else stepping up or stepping in has things to do.

In addition Nvidia is incredibly tech-heavy company. You need another EE with experience with AI chip design and business. Just having good experienced businessman looking at simplified powerpoints before making decisions of technical issues is probably not enough.

u1hcw9nx··on Jensen Huang said to have had relationship with executive who reports to him
Huang Holds 3.4% of Nvidia and has no dual-class voting rights. He can't prevent getting removed if the board thinks it's time.

Do you know that 1 + 1 = 10 in binary?
u1hcw9nx··on Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?
Samsung is the worst by far. Samsung (TizenOS) does not respect even privacy opt outs. It seems like LG, Google TV OS (Sony) and Fire TV OS (Amazon) and VidaaOS at least do that.

Never connect to internet is the best option.

u1hcw9nx··on Nvidia Chief Seen as Target of Chinese Spy Plot
Surveillance of the Maegaspeed, a Singapore-based data center company executive, Alice Huang or Huang Le, a Chinese citizen, revealed that she had developed a close relationship with Jensen Huang and that she was feeding information directly to Beijing.

For some reason Jensen Huang has not received a defensive briefing typically given to Americans who are being targeted by foreign intelligence services.

u1hcw9nx··on PHP Foundation 'under-funded' with one full-time staff member, director says
Select the right OSS license and use dual licensing.

GPL/AGPL/LGPL is the way to go for business. There are many dual-licensing success stories using GPL/AGPL, both large and small: Qt, iText, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, Mattermost, Cal.com, Baserow, and even MongoDB originally.

Qt is an especially interesting case because KDE and the Qt Company have a written contract. Qt can't just switch licenses. They have retreated from every voluntary contribution to open source, but the contract binds them and they can't do anything to it unless they do complete rewrite from scratch.

u1hcw9nx··on The animals you can't outrun – and the ones you can
Humans hunted bears, lions and other big predators with just spears.

Human was a prey only by accident.

u1hcw9nx··on The animals you can't outrun – and the ones you can
Humans are the best endurance runners in the planet.

In warm climates humans win endurance run against every other animal. In colder climates humans and wolves are about equal, but humans could still win.

THIS IS EDITED by the whoever owns the site. Might be slop generated.

Few paragraphs are taken out to smooth it out.

The only reality show worth watching.
u1hcw9nx··on Mark Zuckerberg Threatened to Leave California. Meta’s Board Cut Him a Deal
This was Zuckerberg making a deal with himself with an extra step to make it legal.

Zuckerberg controls approximately 60.6% of Meta’s voting power through Class B super-voting shares (10 votes per share). Controlling shareholders can’t act without the board. Zuckerberg selects the board.

u1hcw9nx··on Rust Style Guide
Not trying to rain on someone's parade, but the only reason I would care about HN comments nowadays is to feed them to my model of choice and let it generate the contrarian hot takes it's supposed to be generating. So it's not like I am willing to read through this thread and think to myself "I cannot wait to pick up some new ways of complaining about documentation." I'm the Editor-in-Chief to my synthetic pundit army now.

I guess you would type out a comment manually every now and then for your own enjoyment, but at that point do you really care about comments at scale?

EDIT (above is a joke) It's very important that every time you find something that is of no use to you, you write a comment explaining that this link is of no interest to you, discouraging people from things you have no interest in. Monoculture for all!

u1hcw9nx··on Everything is going wrong for Muhammad bin Salman
Imagine a whole country of nepo babies ruled by a nepo-baby hierarchy and nepo-baby ruler.

There are 25,000 princes and princesses. Forty percent of the population are imported workers who do all the hard work. Citizens work in government or government-owned companies, with good job security, good wages, and short hours. Low- and middle-income families also receive monthly cash transfers through the Citizen’s Account Program.

u1hcw9nx··on SpaceX Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results [pdf]
On one hand, SI CapEx spending, debt, and liabilities are so high that they make current revenues and returns meaningless, but on the other hand SI CapEx and CapEx growth are still too small to justify a $2 trillion valuation from future profits.

SpaceX spends too much, but still not fast enough to grow into its valuation.

u1hcw9nx··on US federal budget deficit jumps 12% in one year to nearly $2 Trillion
The US federal deficit is growing at an alarming rate; if nothing is done, it will solve itself with inflation. US debt is denominated in USD, so the US will not default; the value of money just steadily declines until the debt burden matches the capacity of the US economy to pay for it. Also, US tax rates are relatively low, US can pay the debt by increasing tax rate if there is political will.

The country with the worst debt crisis is France. Their tax rate is 40%, they don't have their own currency (It's EUR), they have a large primary deficit and it's politically impossible to cut spending. EU must rescue France in next 4-5 years.

u1hcw9nx··on Tesla Roadster
Tesla has lost the battery tech, volume EV manufacturing, and humanoid robotics to China (when trade restrictions don't apply). It's time to hype something different.
u1hcw9nx··on Why is there no AlphaZero for theorem proving?
There are. AlphaProof (Google) and DeepSeek-Prover already Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) and use AlphaZero’s core reinforcement learning algorithms to prove theorems inside formal verification environments like Lean.

The problem is that Mathematics has countably infinite branching factor, game like Go has only max 361 possible moves at any point.

u1hcw9nx··on Japan mistakenly issues warning for magnitude 9.9 earthquake
9.9 would have 6-8 times the amplitude (and ground motion of) of 2011 Tohoku earthquake. Energy would be 15-20 times higher.
u1hcw9nx··on Postmortem: Sweden's citizenship law shipped with no migration path
A good example why retroactive laws lead to injustices.

In this case date of the decision rather than the date of application.
