NVIDIA letting Jensen go is a huge mistake, for America and for humanity. It's Apple firing Steve Jobs all over again, but much bigger, given the role of AI in defining the future of our world. I've been keeping quiet on this out of respect for Jensen's family and team, who I've met and who are amazing humans, and because I personally hate infidelity. So my heart goes out to them in this difficult personal family moment. But I can also say that Jensen is human, and makes mistakes like all of us do. Not that I matter at all, but I've known Jensen for a long time and have gotten the chance to spend a lot of time with him, behind the scenes, away from mics and cameras. I have seen him show kindness, humility, care to everyone around him, including strangers, including from the poorest most struggling parts of society, treating all the same with the same thoughtfulness and attention, because they are fellow humans and not because he has something to gain from them. That shows rare character, to maintain humility and humanity through all of it. Another data point is what people who know him well have said privately to me about Jensen over the years. I've never had anyone tell me anything but how awesome he is or how much they love him. Probably over a thousand people at this point. This includes hundreds of engineers, CEOs, colleagues, friends, etc. Also, since there was some spy talk. Jensen is as proud an American as it gets. I'm in shock frankly at all of this, including the mass hysteria around it. I love America, and I think NVIDIA letting Jensen go is terrible for America. I stand with Jensen. Love you all ❤️

WOW -- Bessent throws Lutnick under the bus: "Treasury, War, USTR, and State were in favor of putting Megaspeed on the entity list for months, but Commerce has the pen. You will have to ask them about their internal processes."

Megaspeed, a Singapore firm accused of diverting Nvidia chips to China, is still off the US blacklist; Treasury blames Commerce.

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)

Outlook.com and Microsoft 365 email were down for about 20 hours; the fix meant moving legacy Exchange onto Azure.
