NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is impressive

The more I learn about him, the more Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang impresses me.

"No task is beneath me because remember I used to be a dishwasher and I mean that. I used to clean toilets. I've cleaned a lot of toilets. I've cleaned more toilets than all of you combined"

- wow! his first job was at Dennys, they have a booth dedicated to him there
- from this Stanford talk

An immigrant to the US where he attended high school. Graduated as an electrical engineer from Oregon State Uni 1984. Masters from Stanford in 1992. At age of 30 in 1993 founded Nvidia. Lost 80% of share price in the 2008 Great Recession. But has recovered spectacularly.

He has ~40 direct reports. Doesn't understand why a CEO would have only a few reports.

"The future of computing will be highly generated. Most of it is intelligence. In the future our computers will behave in that way." Highly generative versus retrieved.

"Start from first principals" How would I build it if doing it today?


The Nvidia keynote at GC 2024
- "The rate at which we're advancing computing is insane" "Over the last 8 years increased computation by one thousand times"
- Moores law was 10x every 5 years, 100x every 10 years
- Nvidia Blackwell chip has 104 billion transmitters and 10 terrabytes interface
- Blackwell chip for a Trillion parameter scale generative AI
- "We created a processor for the generative AI generation"
- DGX system supports 720 Peta flops, 130 Terrabytes per second, "more than the aggregate bandwidth of the internet, we could basically send everything to everybody within a second"

They create a simulation engine a virutal world call "Omniverse" for AIs to train and learn. A gym for AIs. Gave an example of a robotics building
"Everything that moves will be robotic, there's no question about that"


"Software is eating the world, but AI is going to eat software." 2017

react-router v6.4+ loaders, actions, forms and more

react-router  react-router is used for in app single page app navigation, we configure routes for pages in the app to map to components react-router has over 1bn downloads, its an industry standard (but there are others e.g. Nextjs router) many apps use react-router, many on v5.x the new react-router 6.4.x the newest major version of react router v6.4 is a significant enhancement which adds a lot of new features. react-router v6.4 offers new features to load data (loaders) and handle actions (actions).  It's done gone all Remix-y which makes sense because the same guys wrote both. eliminates a lot of boilerplate code to fetch data in useEffect() and set various loading states put your data load and update logic in react-route components instead of custom code unlike Remix, react-router v6.4 is still just all on the client (not server like Remix) paradigm shifts Lets start with a couple of high level ideas; "back to the future" so to speak OR "what's old is new ag
