A bold bet on parallel computing paved the way for the AI revolution.

At #NVIDIAGTC, we honor 20 years of CUDA and the 6 million developers who turned a programming model into a global foundation for innovation.

@Target help me make sense out of this. You have a massive line of shoppers and only a set of automated lanes? Are you not in the business of making money?

VP Vance has cast the deciding vote in the Senate to cut Medicaid, take away food assistance, blow up the deficit, and add tax breaks for the wealthiest.

This bill is unpopular because it is wrong.

Congress votes this week, but it’s our voices - and our votes - that will have the final say.

Recently, EFF was down at the Arizona-Mexico border hunting for surveillance tech. Here's what we found. 🧵(1/14)

Apparently the Chinese are furious that JD Vance said this.

The whole country has been galvanised behind Xi.

This statement will damage relations for a long time. Not just with China.

Btw for anyone saying AI can replace engineers or will replace engineers soon.

If it could, this person would have aced their full-remote job! Instead, they struggled when it came to getting stuff done.

Food for thought on what this actually means in where we are

@Delta @Boeing I’m sitting in a Boeing 717, and I have to say this doesn’t give me much confidence… why is there a gap?!

[Atif @atifdev]

@MemeticPrimer @deedydas They are mostly consulting companies. Maybe that’s why?

It’s been a big week for Claude Code.

We launched 8 exciting new features to help devs build faster and smarter.

Here's a roundup of everything we released:

Maybe just the time of year?

I live in Vegas, my mom works on the strip, can confirm, shit is super dead, and only people here are likely to have booked a while ago, whoever comes for conferences, and even then these people aren't spending

@jessfraz The acronyms are out of control. It’s like everyone is intentionally trying to obscure their meaning.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Elon Musk posted these two tweets on the same day

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent.

SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

@Skxptxk @jxmnop They could and should have supported Cuda on their hardware. That’s all they need

[Atif @atifdev]

@jxmnop What about on the large scale training use case? What is Amd’a revenue vs Nvidia?

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Massive anti-Trump protest taking place outside the US Capitol building.

I certainly don’t remember Americans protesting Biden’s presidency like this. Crowd size matters, right?
