Can't keep track of which huang is which here
Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick was sent a classified memo warning about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang, whom U.S. intelligence officials believe is a Chinese spy, multiple sources told Axios. Commerce did not comment, and it is unclear whether Lutnick read it. The New York Times reported that Secretary of State Marco Rubio oversaw the memo, which circulated before Trump’s May 2026 trip to China.
The Times also reported that Rubio warned Trump aboard Air Force One before a stop in Anchorage, where Huang joined the delegation. Trump said Monday he did not recall seeing the intelligence saying “Certainly, it didn’t make much of an impact on me.”
Reuters reported on May 14 that Commerce cleared about 10 Chinese companies to buy Nvidia’s H200 chips, though Axios says some approvals predated the warning. Lawmakers want Huang to give closed door testimony next week.View quoted post on X

Truly heroic shit
If you ever wondered why NASA chose quiet former Navy fighter pilot Neil Armstrong to be the first human being to land on the Moon, look at what he did three years earlier aboard Gemini 8 on March 16, 1966.
One hundred and eighty-five miles above the Earth, Armstrong and copilot David Scott had just completed the first orbital docking in human history, linking their Gemini 8 capsule to an unmanned Agena target rocket.
Suddenly, while flying through a communications blackout zone out of reach of Mission Control in Houston, the joined spacecraft began rolling sideways.
Assuming the unmanned Agena rocket was malfunctioning, Armstrong fired his thrusters to steady the craft and undocked from the Agena.
Instead of stopping the roll, separating from the heavy rocket made the much lighter Gemini capsule spin ten times faster.
An electrical short circuit had locked Thruster Number Eight wide open on the Gemini capsule itself.
Within seconds, the tiny two-man capsule was spinning like a rifle bullet at sixty revolutions per minute, one full flip every single second.
Centrifugal force pinned Armstrong and Scott into their seats, blurring the orange numbers on the instrument panel until their vision began fading to gray tunnel vision.
At sixty revolutions per minute, the human brain is seconds away from total blackout, ruptured blood vessels, and death in orbit.
Why did Armstrong not black out and die in the dark?
Because while his eyes were blurring, his test-pilot brain calculated that the only way to kill a stuck orbital thruster was to shut down the entire primary Orbit Attitude and Maneuvering System at the circuit breakers.
Fighting the crushing G-forces, Armstrong reached up to the overhead switch panel, killed the main thruster system, activated the separate nose reentry thrusters, and fired counter-thrust until the spinning capsule came to a dead stop.
Because mission rules required an immediate abort once the reentry fuel was used, Armstrong guided the capsule down on an emergency trajectory into the Western Pacific Ocean five hundred miles east of Okinawa.
United States Air Force Pararescuemen leaped from an HC-54 rescue plane flown out of Naha Air Base in Okinawa to secure the floating capsule before the destroyer USS Leonard F. Mason hoisted both men aboard alive.View quoted post on X

Halloween in Iran…
The Islamic Republic calls Halloween a “Western vice” and tries to ban it. But young Iranians have a message for the ayatollahs: You don’t get to decide how we live, dress, dance, or celebrate.
While the new “supreme leader “ and other mullahs hide in fear, the young generation is out there celebrating their own lifestyle.
The regime wants to turn Iran into a graveyard. This generation is determined to turn it into a dance floor.View quoted post on X
