China's honor guard trainers pin sharp needles inside soldiers' collars, so if your head tilts even a little, it jabs you in the neck. For the 2015 military parade, the women's unit drilled 8 hours a day, six days a week, for three months. All to walk 96 meters, a bit longer than a football field. Which sounds insane, because in an actual war a tight line of soldiers is a machine gunner's best day. Those 96 meters are the stretch in front of the reviewing stand. It's 128 steps, each one 75 centimeters, and you're allowed 1 centimeter of error. Trainers check strides with rulers and wedge playing cards between soldiers' knees to keep them standing upright. Marching in perfect sync used to be cutting-edge military tech, by the way. Back in the 1590s, a line of Dutch musketeers could get off about one volley before the Spanish ran them over. So Maurice of Nassau's team broke loading a musket into 42 separate movements, printed them in an illustrated manual, and drilled guys until whole ranks could fire, rotate to the back, reload and fire again without a gap. (Historian Geoffrey Parker argues Japanese gunners worked out volley fire three decades earlier, in the 1560s.) Either way, synchronized movement was the software that made gunpowder work. By World War I, rifles and machine guns had ended formation fighting, and every major army kept drilling recruits anyway. A historian named William McNeill figured out why by accident. He got drafted in September 1941, spent a lot of idle hours marching around a dusty patch of Texas, and noticed it felt weirdly euphoric. Decades later he wrote a whole book about it and called the feeling muscular bonding, meaning people who move in exact sync start to feel like one body. Lab studies since then find that moving in sync makes people cooperate more and sacrifice more for the group. Jonathan Haidt calls it a hive switch. That's a skill no piece of technology has replaced in war, getting a bunch of scared young soldiers to do exactly what they're told while every instinct says run. Standing still for hours with a pin in your collar is practice for that. The parade itself runs on a different idea, which biologists call the handicap principle. A peacock's tail proves the bird is fit because it's so expensive to grow. A 1-centimeter tolerance on a 75-centimeter stride has zero tactical value, which is exactly why it works as a flex. Jamestown Foundation analysts noted that units sent to earlier Beijing parades lost nearly a whole training season. So when a country spends three months of 8-hour days on 96 meters of walking, the waste is the message.

Now that Jensen is out, my pick for his successor would be Nikesh Arora (@nikesharora) IMO Jensen was so important for the AI ecosystem because he was: 1) technical 2) aggressive 3) had the credibility required to be aggressive What Nikesh did at Palo Alto the last 8 years is remarkable, and reflected in its stock (up 10x) He’s one of only a handful of people who have the credibility required to be aggressive on day 1 Nikesh has the three attributes listed above while being a world class deal maker and having all the necessary relationships to keep NVDA at the center of the AI ecosystem There’s no easy choice but he’d be my go to

@parmita I think you only exist on Twitter. Let's keep it that way.

NVIDIA letting Jensen go is a huge mistake, for America and for humanity. It's Apple firing Steve Jobs all over again, but much bigger, given the role of AI in defining the future of our world. I've been keeping quiet on this out of respect for Jensen's family and team, who I've met and who are amazing humans, and because I personally hate infidelity. So my heart goes out to them in this difficult personal family moment. But I can also say that Jensen is human, and makes mistakes like all of us do. Not that I matter at all, but I've known Jensen for a long time and have gotten the chance to spend a lot of time with him, behind the scenes, away from mics and cameras. I have seen him show kindness, humility, care to everyone around him, including strangers, including from the poorest most struggling parts of society, treating all the same with the same thoughtfulness and attention, because they are fellow humans and not because he has something to gain from them. That shows rare character, to maintain humility and humanity through all of it. Another data point is what people who know him well have said privately to me about Jensen over the years. I've never had anyone tell me anything but how awesome he is or how much they love him. Probably over a thousand people at this point. This includes hundreds of engineers, CEOs, colleagues, friends, etc. Also, since there was some spy talk. Jensen is as proud an American as it gets. I'm in shock frankly at all of this, including the mass hysteria around it. I love America, and I think NVIDIA letting Jensen go is terrible for America. I stand with Jensen. Love you all ❤️

We may have had to count One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, but Blue Mississippi sure has a nice ring to it! Scott, you put your heart and soul into this race because you believe in the promise of your state’s people. And they believed in you right back. I’m honored to have stood alongside you. Congratulations!

Prediction. Screenshot this post, we'll talk again in five years. They're going to pull it off. Jensen Huang is going to be pushed out of Nvidia. And here's what happens next. Elon hires Jensen and puts him in charge of Terafab. He's already said it publicly: hiring him would be an honor. And Terafab is the project made for him. A chip factory Musk wants to be the largest ever built, one terawatt of compute per year, from design to packaging under one roof. Terafab's challenge is to do in a few years what the industry took decades to build. There's only one man on Earth who knows every layer of that stack. They execute like absolute maniacs. Musk brings speed, capital and appetite for risk. Jensen brings thirty years of mastery of the stack: architecture, software, customers, supply chain. Musk builds factories faster than anyone alive. Jensen knows exactly what to put inside them. It's the only duo in the world capable of compressing a decade into three years. SpaceXAI merges with Tesla. This isn't even science fiction anymore: independent committees are already studying the merger. Rockets, satellites, AI, robots, self-driving cars, energy, and now chips. One single entity, integrated from silicon to orbit. The group climbs to $50 trillion. Today, SpaceX and Tesla are worth around $3.4 trillion combined. $50 trillion sounds insane. But remember: ten years ago, Nvidia was worth a few tens of billions. When you own superintelligence, the robots that do the work and the rockets that go to space, you don't capture a market. You capture the economy. Elon buys Nvidia. Meanwhile, Nvidia without Jensen does what every company does after losing its founder: it manages. It protects its margins. It loses ground to its own customers' in-house chips. And one day, it becomes a target. For a $50 trillion group, buying Nvidia is just one acquisition among others. Jensen becomes the chip boss again. He takes over the semiconductor division of the new entity. Pushed out of his own company, he gets it back from above, inside the largest industrial group in history. Sounds crazy? Steve Jobs did exactly that. Pushed out of Apple, he came back when Apple bought NeXT. You know the rest. Nvidia's board thinks it's getting rid of a problem. It's creating the biggest competitor in its history. See you in five years.
