Nvidia to exclude China from its revenue and profit forecasts

In Brief Nvidia doesn’t think the U.S. will backpedal its chip export restrictions to China anytime soon.

Unfolding like short chapters in a dystopian novel, they have spoken of the genius of Elon Musk, referenced the power of the billionaire’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and foretold the downfall of “corrupt” union bosses. But the most eerie thing about the emails, which Bernier says began a

Federal government reportedly plans to shut down its EV charging infrastructure

"As GSA has worked to align with the current administration, we have received direction that all GSA owned charging stations are not mission

Five Kinds of Nondeterminism

February 19, 2025 Five Kinds of Nondeterminism Or four kinds, or six kinds, I'm not picky about how you count them No newsletter next week, I'm teaching a TLA+ workshop. Speaking of which: I spend a lot of time thinking about formal methods (and TLA+ specifically) because it's where the source of almost all my revenue. But I don't share most of the details because 90% of my readers don't use FM and never will. I think it's more interesting to talk about ideas from FM that would be useful to
