Top Story
- Jensen Huang, CEO and chairman of the worlds largest company (by market capitalisation), is now neither. (Tom's Hardware)
He had an affair - confirmed - with a Chinese spy - alleged - and also affairs - alleged - with two employees at Nvidia - confirmed.
He has been CEO since the company was founded - by him - in 1993, so there isn't exactly a carefully thought-out succession plan in place.
- Will he move on to run Terafab? (Tom's Hardware)
Maybe.
- Will Tim Apple take Jensen Nvidia's place? (Tom's Hardware)
Less likely.
Tech News

Yay?

Aaand it's dead.

Do Rustaceans still sound like cult recruiters?

It is delightful to me that cyclists are the biggest complainers in the comments to the Whoop thread.

I think the original Rustaceans may mostly still be cultists, and the "I don't like writing Rust, but I can read it, and LLMs can write it to spec, and come up with unit tests" folks might not be a cult. The second group, if it is a cult, might be a fairly independent cult. I dunno. Lunduke has a massive dislike for Rust, which I find that I do not share. If you are not already invested in one tool chain that you have been skilled in for years, starting with something like Gram or Alacritty is okayish. (I eventually concluded that the old Windows Console is arguably better. The counter arguments cover stuff I am not aware of, because not a power user.)

Thanks! I don't know if I made that up or not.
Oops, apparently not.
