The device used to sit in the lobby of Building A at @nvidia HQ, very cool.
When Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage built a one-of-a-kind, never-before-seen machine that demonstrated the difference between a GPU and CPU and painted the Mona Lisa in in 80 milliseconds. xitter.gq/i/status/1816171535805…

Sitting here in total awe of the @NewMastersounds show we just caught during @jazzfest at House of Blues New Orleans.

After almost a decade it’s still incredible to be a part of.
The way that Jensen Huang runs Nvidia is wild: 40 direct reports, no 1:1s - Believes that the flattest org is the most empowering one, and that starts with the top layer - Does not conduct 1:1s - everything happens in a group setting - Does not give career advice - "None of my management team is coming to me for career advice - they already made it, they're doing great" No status reports, instead he "stochastically samples the system" - Doesn't use status updates because he believes they are too refined by the time they get to him. They are not ground truth anymore. - Instead, anyone in the company can email him their "top five things" with whatever is top of mind, and he will read it - Estimates he reads 100 of these everyone morning Everyone has all the context, all the time - No meetings with just VPs or just Directors - anyone can join and contribute - "If you have a strategic direction, why tell just one person?" - "If there is something I don't like, I just say it publicly" - "I do a lot of reasoning out loud" No formal planning cycles - No 5 year plan, no 1 year plan - Always re-evaluating based on changing business and market conditions (helpful when AI is developing at the pace that it is) This org is optimized for (1) attracting amazing people, (2) keeping the team as small as it can be, and (3) allowing information to travel as quickly as possible

This is insane, @united, have been trying to get my family home since Monday! Now stuck w/ no accommodations in Houston. Should NOT have trusted you and stayed where we were. At this point you cost me big money and I have two small children thinking they are sleeping on the floor

Multiple attempts, multi hour in length, over last three days, to speak to someone while also trying app and web. The one time I spoke to someone they assured me she had fixed the scattered seating leaving minors without parents. Nope, no change.

Looking to replicate a rubber, or possibly silicone, car part in something like rebound resin, @RealSexyCyborg can you point me to any resources? Any material and 3D printer guidance?

Second attempt to do a stay at the @gaylordrockies and again miscommunication resulting in no dining, delayed rooms, and a poor experience. @MBonvoyAssist not what I signed up for.

Down to their pizza, as one of our party said, “warm on the outside, cold on the inside.” Followed by another, “I think this is shredded tire (mushroom)?” Can’t feed my family at a resort. Insane.

What’s up with @Grubhub ? Had to pick up my own food, finally. Trying to get a refund but their system is a mess, it can’t decide if I have an order, that it’s been delivered, that its getting ordered in an hour, and hold times for support are >10min…I gave up at 20min.

I bought four shirts, and this will be the beer served at our Thanksgiving. You?
