NVIDIA started with the wrong technology, learned the right one from three textbooks bought at Fry’s, and went on to invent most of the major breakthroughs in modern computing.

At Startup School 2026, YC's @garrytan sits down with @nvidia Founder and CEO @JensenHuang to talk about confronting reality, learning your way into new domains, and why resilience — getting through one day at a time — matters more than anything else.

Need it now so that I can cancel my Claude subscription today

@minchoi Our 2T model, which is better than our 1.5T in every way, will finish initial training next week. It might be able to exceed Kimi, but with speed and token efficiency close to our 1.5T (aka Grok 4.5).

[hyumo @hyumo00]

@XFreeze It’s really hard for me to understand why it is so hard for people to understand this. They probably never had FSD for more than a day

[hyumo @hyumo00]

i take it back, we need a $19.99 subscription plan, so that Grok is the smarter, faster, and cheaper one

[hyumo @hyumo00]

Grok needs a $20/month plan so people can unsubscribe from their other AI subscriptions without feeling like they’re overpaying.

[hyumo @hyumo00]

and they will never go back

[hyumo @hyumo00]

Similar to Grok these days, 3Y are smarter, faster, cheaper

[DHH @dhh]

I've been a Tesla convert for years. Model X, Model S Plaid, Cyberbeast. But the Model Y we just got still blew me away! It feels so tight, so well built, so right. Unbelievably good car and good value. It sending an Aston Martin DBX 707 and Taycan Turbo S out of the fleet!

Curious about the connection between a society's average IQ and how quickly civilization advances. Does higher collective intelligence drive faster innovation and progress, or do culture, resources, and institutions play bigger roles?

Great achievements are rarely the result of ordinary effort.

AI won’t kill all SaaS. It’ll kill the SaaS that can be vibe-coded. And supercharge the SaaS that helps you vibe-code.

[hyumo @hyumo00]

@bcherny Avoid interviews in /loop as well please

[hyumo @hyumo00]

Legacy automakers, I am sorry to say that if you do not have something similar to FSD in your car, please just make really really good collectable-level cars from today (or stop making any shit boxes). There's just no point making a car that cannot drive itself.

[hyumo @hyumo00]

@CThuleHansen @FMI_Info Thanks! Will there be any public links or directions to the virtual conference? And is is possible to attend the conference as a guest?

[hyumo @hyumo00]

@FMI_Info I think it is fmpy, oops...
