Oh: Before Resigning, Jensen Huang Admitted He Was Facing an “Avalanche” of
Excess Wafers and Memory, New Report Sheds More Light on the GPU & RAM Crisis.
Referencing Wall Street Journal: Before His Ouster,
Jensen Huang Belittled the Executive Replacing Him (paywalled), the article notes:
[CFO turned CEO Colette] Kress was concerned about Nvidia’s growing financial
exposure and wanted to rein in the company’s “circular financing” commitments to cloud
providers, and AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic.
And acknowledges that Ed Zitron was, once again,
right:
Reports of glut of unsold hardware have been around for a while, but only now
mainstream media is catching up to what Nvidia was reportedly doing. Many industry
analysts including Ed Zitron reported months ago how Nvidia and other companies have
exposed themselves to devastating financial risk, and also made sure to channel stuff META, Google,
Amazon, and others by leveraging their FOMO.
Apparently unpopular opinion: throw/catch mechanisms should be used for actual errors and not, for instance, as control flow in parsing.
Because it's a pain in the ass when I set a breakpoint on errors and I get a break every time the parser is figuring out if this is a number, string, array, or object.

Advocate: 'Transition regret' is extremely rare, according to study
Researchers evaluated self-reported surveys submitted by the cohort between
2023 and 2025, which concluded that “overall decisional regret was very low.” In fact,
96.8% of participants reported that receiving hormone therapy was the right decision, while
only 2.7% reported any regret over the decision, and even fewer (1.9%) reported feeling
harmed by their decision.
JAMA
Pediatrics: Satisfaction, Regret, and Harm After Hormone Therapy in Youth From a
Multidisciplinary Gender Clinic
Findings In this cohort study of 372 participants who received
care at a single multidisciplinary clinic, satisfaction with HT was high and regret and
harm were rare. Decisional regret was slightly higher among youths not currently receiving
HT and those identifying on the nonbinary spectrum, but it remained low in absolute terms.
Isolate,
Inebriate, Intimidate, Repeat: High Rates of Sexual Force Against Women Are Reported When
Young Men Given Anonymous Surveys
Lucia F. O’Sullivan, Scott T. Ronis
Most survey women who were targets of sexual aggression or else survey men who
consent to being identified. Using anonymous surveys of 2,689 U.S. and Canadian men (18–34
years), we aimed to assess rates of self-reported sexual aggression, reports of strategy
effectiveness at forcing known reluctant women into sex, and men’s views of the
circumstances, motivations, and positive and negative outcomes. Men reported occasions where
they tried to get a woman to engage in sex that they knew she did not want and to which she
had not consented. The women were individuals with whom the men shared no prior romantic or
sexual history. Overall, 95.1% reported having recently used at least one of the
strategies to get a woman to have sex who they knew did not want sex and had not consented.
