@evilshantanu Barring few places the food is mostly deep fried cheesy slop which they try to pass on as gourmet by dimming the lights and keeping the music loud.

I would give Dwarkesh points for triggering Jensen, which gave us the detailed answers. Also thanks for not asking stupid questions on his Jacket.

[Partha Roy @p91006]

Jensen came across as a visionary leader that he is. He laid out consistently how you need to win across five layers of AI from energy at the bottom to application layer on the top. He clarified how open source is important not only for US and China but for the world over.

The Jensen Huang episode.

0:00:00 – Is Nvidia’s biggest moat its grip on scarce supply chains?
0:16:25 – Will TPUs break Nvidia’s hold on AI compute?
0:41:06 – Why doesn’t Nvidia become a hyperscaler?
0:57:36 – Should we be selling AI chips to China?
1:35:06 – Why doesn’t Nvidia make multiple different chip architectures?

Look up Dwarkesh Podcast on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc. Enjoy!

[Partha Roy @p91006]

It was a very nuanced and detailed response from a leader like Jensen who has shaped the industry over 30 years to Dwarkesh who neither have the intellectual capacity nor experience to to think at that level.

Nice compilation. Missing Manmohan Singh, Amartya Sen. You should also mention Abhijit Banerjee.

One factor advanced career people should consider in their next job (especially for internal transfers) is how likely it is that your new manager will throw you under the bus to save themselves when the going gets tough. If you are experienced, this isn’t all that hard to assess.

@karpathy Well UPI in India allows as low as INR ($.012) per transaction. It's completely free and last year they had over 130 billion transactions.

It's well established in India and dozens of countries have adopted the same. Likewise Brazil has implemented Pix on similar lines.

@kripalamanna When it takes over 40 minutes for the food to arrive and within 30 seconds the maître d'hôtel comes by and ask - how is food sir ?

[Partha Roy @p91006]

@theliverdr Meat curry with Idly is super food.

@evilshantanu @chaturap You can do it, if you fly very slow while taking breaks for coffee and smoke.

[Partha Roy @p91006]

@evilshantanu No it doesn't. Your guy lost last time - didn't he ?

Btw, I’d like to apologize for Twitter being super slow in many countries. App is doing >1000 poorly batched RPCs just to render a home timeline!

Building and running large distributed performant consumer infra and apps within budget is not rocket science, it is hard.
