NVidia’s Jensen Huang has a bag he wants you to hold.


Perhaps, but I suspect that Wikipedia was looking for a reason to ban them to avoid problems with the ADL and US Government…

I graduated in 2006. When I was in school the idea was that there wouldn’t be any programmers left in the USA because it would all be offshore. But by the time I graduated it was fairly easy to find work. There was a slowdown in 2008 but tech did better than most other fields. This is where the idea comes from that tech will come back, I think. Tech is cyclical but it’s not on the same cycle as other business, or hasn’t been.
The whole AI thing is fake. What’s really going on is another massive offshoring attempt. Everyone I know who’s lost a job lost it to offshoring not AI. This is basically 2001 all over again. So the idea is that offshoring will not work out again and the jobs will come back. Is it true or is this time different? I’m not entirely sure.
Arguably the Spruce Goose was an (unintentional) ground effect vehicle because its one flight didn’t leave the ground affect regime.
But the USSR made tons of cool ground effect vehicles.
