It’s very rare to see $BTC price dropped more than other coins such as $SUI $HYPE $SOL.

What happened?

I have a particularly nasty case of cancer. When I was hospitalized again at my lowest point last year, I told Jensen. He immediately reached out to contacts at Stanford, who were able to cut through red tape, and get me into a clinical trial for which I've turned out to be a perfect fit. I think everyone can have their own views about recent events. But any claims that Jensen did not really care about his staff is simply inaccurate. I, personally, owe him more than I can express.

I think the best tribute we can pay to Jensen's legacy is to drive NVIDIA's continued success and push the whole industry forward, by showing we've learned the lessons from years of working here. We will compare ourselves against Speed of Light. The mission will be the boss. And we will not be scared to take smart, bold risks and fail fast with ruthless intellectual honesty.

But if there is one management story I remember the most, it's a particular Jensen grilling from my time in autonomous vehicles that stayed with me. Luckily I was not in the hot seat for this one. Team A didn't want to use Team B's framework, because they thought it was too slow. Jensen was surprised - it's just applying a bunch of optimized CUDA kernels in sequence, how could it be slow?

So he asked the executive from team B to draw the entire data flow sequence from their framework on the whiteboard and highlight every memcpy. Sure enough, there were a bunch of unnecessary memcpy's surrounding each pipeline stage. Everyone in the room could see why it wasn't getting to SoL and a path to improve things. No arguing about fiefdoms or appeals to authority - the data got us all on the same page.

The lesson was not (just) that unnecessary memory copying is bad. It's that executives should not be afraid to probe into details if something doesn't add up, and leaders need to be technical enough and honest enough to engage in real time and not turn every meeting into "I'll get back to you in a week." If that means counting memcpy's with a billionaire CEO, so be it.

My best executive meetings at NVIDIA have been when I'm fully prepared to present every detail of my team's work, and my worst failures have come when I realized I couldn't go deep enough to really solve the problem.

But the thing that gives me confidence is that Jensen was never the only one to live this philosophy. Anyone who has presented to an SVP at NVIDIA knows they are at risk for getting grilled on fundamental constraints and technical details. I have been part of amazing conversations with both recent and old timer leaders where we were able to get to the core of a problem in an hour rather than a month, because we had the right people in the room and were not afraid to go deeper.

The company is filled with supremely talented people who have been trained for 3 decades to work at the highest level, and you can see it in what we produce every day. I'm so proud to be an NVIDIAn, and I can't wait to show off what we ship in the coming months and years.

This is the conversation that made me even more bullish on $SUI.

Somewhere in this conversation Evan Cheng and I started joking about home robots. One day you come home, he said, and it's not cleaning your house: "it's cleaning OUT your house. And walking away with everything."

We were laughing. Then he added: "If you really think about it, it's entirely possible." And that's basically the whole episode.

@evanweb3 built developer tools at Apple and Meta before founding Mysten Labs, the company behind @suinetwork. We recorded in Singapore, where I was speaking at SUI Basecamp, and honestly, this became one of those conversations where I walked in with questions about stablecoins and walked out rethinking how the internet works.

His core point, the one I keep replaying:

"The web is built for humans. You cannot retrofit it to handle agents."

Everything online assumes a human on the other end, identity, trust, the fact that you can sue someone. Agents break all of it. His example hit home because I told him I get phishing mails daily that even make ME hesitate (and I confessed to my 50,000 unread emails, which he graciously ignored). Now imagine your agent reading those mails with full access to your accounts. His words: "Email is the biggest freaking attack vector... such a legacy protocol."

And his most honest line, about how this plays out:

"Disaster will happen. That's part of the progress."

That’s already what’s happening in the world nowadays. PHP websites aren’t safe anymore, even freezers and fridges are being hacked. Our infrastructure needs to be updated, and that’s why this episode and SUI became so important.

Thanks to @OKX for being today’s sponsor of the show.
