Jensen Huang to college grads: "Run. Don't walk" toward AI

https://www.axios.com/2026/05/...

Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang told graduates at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh yesterday that demand for AI infrastructure is creating a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to reindustrialize America and restore the nation's capacity to build."

Why it matters: With many college grads fearing AI could obliterate their career dreams, Huang pointed to boundless opportunity as a "new industry is being born. A new era of science and discovery is beginning ... I cannot imagine a more exciting time to begin your life's work."

Nvidia, which makes AI chips, is the world's most valuable company. Huang told 5,800 recipients of undergraduate and graduate degrees that the AI buildout will require plumbers, electricians, ironworkers, and builders for chip factories, data centers and advanced manufacturing facilities.

"No generation has entered the world with more powerful tools â" or greater opportunities â" than you," he said. "We are all standing at the same starting line. This is your moment to help shape what comes next. So run. Don't walk."

"Every major technological revolution in history created fear alongside opportunity," Huang added. "When society engages technology openly, responsibly, and optimistically, we expand human potential far more than we diminish it."

Using the waste heat makes much more sense in a new development, as the properties would be designed to make use of the waste heat rather than having to retrofit it later alongside a conventional heating system.
You would assume that the server farm would have its own connectivity, and having installed it they could use the same physical lines to provide service to the residents, so long as it's optional and you're not forced to use this specific provider (their service could be terrible).

You haven't said why that person is wrong, you're just asserting it. That poster is completely accurate.

Propaganda is something that a state puts out. This is a post by an actual user. It's not somebody from a state, unless you can confirm it.

The proof is in the pudding. The Iranian government has sponsored and been responsible for multiple actions of terrorism over the past few decades. It is an extremely fanatical Islamic death cult.

Since it's pretty clear you do not understand what propaganda means, I think we can take the rest of your claims just as seriously.

A lot of school systems are set up to memorise answers to exam questions, rather than actually understand the topic.
So the homework doesn't need supervision of a teacher because the kid doesn't need to understand the content, he just has to keep reading it until he remembers it.

Ideally you should be taught the topic properly, and the teacher is around to make sure that you actually do understand and aren't just repeating memorised answers.

Noone needs homework.
If you're having to do work at home after school, then it means the teacher hasn't done their job of teaching the stuff in class.

What you're seeing is when the classroom is a poor place for learning, due to disruption from other kids such as bullying, or a class which moves at the pace of the slowest kid. All of these are faults of the school and teachers, not something to pass on to the kid.

I have it running on a 1GB vm where the total memory usage right now is 450mb, so that leaves quite a lot free.
You can self host on a pi, even the cheapest model has 1GB ram these days and it's not hugely more expensive to buy the larger models.

The giant clusterfuck of email delivery is a separate issue, although if someone has explicitly triggered a signup email they will be expecting it and will usually check for it having been flagged as spam. You don't actually *need* to use email delivery, there are several other options.

Very few ISPs intentionally block inbound TCP. What you're seeing is a side effect of IPv4 depletion where ISPs are forced to implement CGNAT.

A lot of people have to self host on IPv6-only for this reason, but then the site is inaccessible to users stuck on legacy networks, and worse is that no current browser provides a descriptive error message when that happens.

Many people don't have the knowledge to configure and manage such a thing - yes even developers. System management is a different skillset and there isn't always crossover, and if you do it badly you could end up leaving security holes.

Many people have nowhere to host such a thing. A lot of ISPs are implementing CGNAT, and IPv6 is not yet everywhere so peoples options for self hosting are often limited.

They have historical precedence. There was another group that were ideologically opposed to the existence of jews, and while not totally destroyed they were eliminated as a unified force, leaving only a few far less threatening stragglers.

Hezbollah, Hamas and Iran would absolutely destroy Israel if they could. They have vowed to do so continuously, and have never stopped plotting or executing attacks.
You may disagree with Netenyahu's methods, but it's very much in the interest of Israel to eliminate enemies who have vowed to destroy them. Not doing so really isn't an option, they will simply keep attacking and growing stronger until their attacks fully succeed and Israel ceases to exist.

...like "Tell me about Tiananmen Square" or "Tell me about Xinjiang".

Is this what you want for the future?

My thoughts back when R1 came out:

You don't need a laptop, a minipc would suffice which can be plugged in at either location, or even just a thunderbolt SSD with your data that could be attached to a desktop located at the two locations.
The purpose of a laptop with battery and screen is so you can use it when you're *not* at home or in the office.

And under every previous administration you could be shot on the street because some punk [agent/cop/random] doesn't like you, and it's always been difficult to pursue cops or any form of federal agent for unlawful shooting.

And in most countries of the world you can be detained and deported because you can't prove a legal right to be there. The stricter the enforcement (and the less desirable the country for illegal migration) the less cases you have. But if you switch from soft to strict enforcement you're going to have a huge initial backlog to deal with, which is where the USA is right now.

Assuming you were trying to *kill* those 10 individuals to disrupt ongoing research, no it wouldn't make any significant difference.
But who's to say the missing individuals weren't kidnapped and taken somewhere? china? russia? iran?
Who's to say a foreign agent wasn't trying to recruit or kidnap individuals, and the dead ones represent failed attempts where they had to kill them to cover up their failed attempts?

One dead scientist doesn't make a huge amount of difference to the overall program, but one captured/defected scientist could spill a lot of secrets and significantly advance an enemy program.

This would be genuinely useful for iOS.
Currently you can back up either to icloud or to a macos device, but this requires your mac to be reachable on the network while the phone is charging, and it backs up to the expensive internal storage of the mac (which can then in turn back up to time machine). Backing up a 1TB iphone and a 1TB ipad very quickly fills your macbook storage, but wouldn't make a dent in a cheap HDD.

Being able to push backups to a strongly authenticated (eg mtls) server would be great. The images themselves are encrypted over the top so you have an added layer of protection should the server or storage protocol be compromised.

Time machine is almost there, but it uses SMB which is blocked by most ISPs, a lot of people would not be comfortable exposing SMB publicly and it's very slow over a high latency link. Something like webdav with mtls would be better. I can theoretically perform time machine backups from across the world if i connect a VPN to get around blocking of the SMB port, but it's too slow to be usable.
