Breaking: Michael Burry says the Jensen Huang affairs are distracting you Claiming “The real story is that the AI Bubble started to come apart for real this year” and mentioning what Jensen said about his replacement behind closed doors Here’s what the WSJ revealed: 1. Nvidia was in talks to guarantee billions of dollars for companies that couldn’t afford its chips 2. Some of those deals were led by Jensen Huang’s son-in-law, who offered financing to upstart cloud companies to turn them into customers 3. Huang said major cloud providers were running away from Nvidia and planning to use rival chips 4. He said the chip and memory orders Nvidia had committed to were coming at him like an “avalanche” 5. 5. In that same meeting, he called his CFO “a deer in the headlights” and said she couldn’t help him make decisions And now that same CFO, Colette Kress, is Nvidia’s interim CEO while $NVDA is down 15% this year

After 20 hours, the outage finally being mitigated Talking with Microsoft devs, the issue was NOT DNS (like many guessed), but it WAS networking I'm told the fix took so long because it had to be a forward fix... moving stuff from the legacy Exchange system over to... 🥁 ...drumrol... 🥁 Azure!! (impressive)

Madness - 12 hours into the outage. Microsoft is posting regular updates but they have not figured out what is causing servers to die when brought back online From their updates it sounds like it’s a thundering herd + some other weird issue they’ve yet to pinpoint

I don't know if this is a debate at all but its something I think about. Just because producing code is cheap doesn't mean we should produce more of it. Code isn't just an asset. It is a liability. A lot of my recent work is about reducing the amount of code to express something rather than increase it. It isn't for immediate cost savings though. It's that verbosity is a tax we pay at every turn. It's always easy to add another constraint, another check, but they keep adding up. To be fair these are things I encounter in my own work, but if the primitives bear the brunt of the cost maybe you don't have to.
