4 mega Jensen Huang has been obsessive in creating Nvidia By PATRICK TOOHER Updated: 16:51 EST, 28 December 2024 e-mail View comments Sunday should be a day of rest for even the most hard-charging boss. Not for Jensen Huang. As the weekend draws to a close, the man who built microchip designer Nvidia into one the world's most valuable companies likes nothing better than to pour himself a glass of Highland Park – the Scotch whisky favoured by Sir Winston Churchill – and start catching up on hundreds of emails. Remarkably, Huang will reply to every one of them. That's because these aren't just any old emails. Sent from employees at every level of the company, each contains just five bullet points – called Top 5 Things, or T5Ts. They explain what staff are working on, thinking about or have noticed about the business. Topics can range from the latest machine-learning trends in artificial intelligence – Nvidia dominates the market for advanced chips that drive the AI revolution – to competitor insights or customer pinch points. The pithy emails – and his equally concise replies – are a vital way for Huang to keep tabs on what is going on inside Nvidia. They also ensure he's getting key information from the coalface that might otherwise evade him. It's a unique management style that sets Huang apart from his peers. His unconventional approach is 'the exact opposite' of what is considered best practice in most of the rest of corporate America, says Tae Kim, author of a new book, The Nvidia Way. As companies get bigger, they tend to adopt ever-steeper hierarchies. Managers are detached from staff and increasingly rely on formal status updates from underlings to take the pulse of a company. Workaholic: Nvidia boss Jensen Huang But these reports are often filtered of anything controversial, including current problems, potential roadblocks and personnel issues. The danger is that they become sanitised to the point of being almost useless by the time they reach the key decision-makers. Huang's 'flat' communication approach scraps all that. The T5Ts mean Huang can combat 'inertia and groupthink', says Kim. Another of his secrets is his preference for whiteboards to present ideas rather than PowerPoint presentations. The idea is that with a whiteboard, you simply write your thoughts for colleagues to see with just a blank board and a marker, which means your thinking must be rigorous and transparent. With a PowerPoint slide presentation, it is easier to hide a dearth of thought behind slick graphics and impressively formatted slides, so audiences often accept them uncritically. 'These operational principles have allowed Nvidia to move quickly to take advantage of new opportunities,' Kim says, adding that they give staff 'powerful weapons in the constant struggle for accuracy and rigour'. Founded in a Silicon Valley diner three decades ago, Nvidia is the stock market success story of this century. Since floating in the US on the eve of the millennium, it has come from nowhere to become one of the world's most valuable companies. It joined iPhone maker Apple and software giant Microsoft this year as one of only three companies in the world worth more than $3 trillion (£2.4 trillion). Huge demand for its high-end chips has fuelled the company's astonishing rise. RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next Where to put YOUR money in 2025: Our share guru reveals her...

Experts say Nvidia's stunning success could not have been achieved without Huang at the wheel. 'I have never met anyone quite like Jensen,' says Kim, a writer at US business magazine Barron's. 'In the field of graphics he is a pioneer. In the harsh technology market, he is a survivor.' Only three other chief executives in the S&P 500 – including legendary investor Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway – have been at the helm of their companies longer than Huang, he notes. Huang, 61, has also lasted longer at his company than Bill Gates did at Microsoft or Jeff Bezos at Amazon. Chips with everything: Nvidia shares are up 175 per cent this year 'He challenges the division of the executive world between those CEO-founders who are technically oriented but naive in the world of business and those who are business-minded operators but who have no technical acumen,' Kim notes. 'You would go to a meeting and he would know more about the product than you,' Ali Simnad, a former employee, told Kim. 'In every meeting we attended he was probably the most prepared person,' he added. His workaholic ethos is rooted in his engineering background. It gives him what Kim calls a 'seemingly limitless capacity' for toil. For Huang, a strong work ethic trumps intelligence. 'It doesn't matter how smart you are because there is always someone smarter than you,' Huang once said. 'Your competition doesn't go to sleep.' One executive told Kim that Nvidia isn't a 24/7 company but a 25/8 one. 'I'm not kidding,' she said. 'I wake up at 4.30am and I'm on the phone until 10pm,' she added. 'It's my choice. It's not for everybody.' Staff hate it when Huang goes on a rare holiday because he tends to sit in a hotel and write more emails. When he goes to the cinema he never remembers the film because he spends the entire time thinking about work. 'There's not a day goes by I don't work. If I'm not working I'm thinking about working. Working is relaxing for me,' he told an investment bank podcast in 2023. When US TV show Sixty Minutes asked him about employees who said working for him was demanding, and that he was a perfectionist and not easy to work for, he simply agreed. On sale: The Nvidia Way is written by Tae Kim 'One thing I learned pretty quickly is if you got an email from him, you acted on it,' says former executive Michael Douglas. 'Nothing stays. Nothing festers. You answer and move on it,' added former human resources head John McSorley. Huang often responds to emails within minutes of receiving them, and employees have learned to time their T5Ts strategically. Don't send it late on a Friday evening, a former employee told Kim. 'It would wreck your weekend.' Most employees send their T5T emails late on Sunday night – just as Huang settles down with his single-malt Scotch. It means they can act on his feedback at the start of the working week. Not surprisingly, a fan club bordering on a personality cult has built up around Huang, whose trademark leather jacket sets him apart from the buttoned-down boardroom elite. 'In many ways, he is Nvidia and the company is Jensen,' Kim adds. Of course, that raises the risk of what would happen to Nvidia if he and the company parted ways – for whatever reason. Investors will be relieved that he shows no sign of slowing down on the emails. The Nvidia Way is written by Tae Kim and published by WW Norton & Co. Its hardcover edition is available priced at £25.

The pollies we like to like – and the ones we love to hate

ROSEN, HIGHLY RECOGNIZED INVESTOR RIGHTS COUNSEL, Encourages MGP Ingredients, Inc. Investors to ...Too much for some groups fighting homelessness I found the dollar amounts presented in the Nov. 22 article published in the IJ with the headline “Marin completes process for $18M homelessness grant” to be overwhelming. Based on the proposed needs of local groups, it appears it will take hundreds of thousands of dollars to care for each person. Far too few are being helped by these tens of millions. I think some groups have a serious “OPM” (other people’s money) addiction and our government is only too willing to hand over taxpayer dollars for little result. I fear that detoxing from this addiction during the Trump administration might be ugly. I am glad that we might see more oversight and efficiency in how our money is spent in the coming years. I believe that this OPM addiction can be partially attributed to the “red wave” of people voting for Republicans in the Nov. 5 election. I certainly hope so. — Gigi Bibeault, Terra Linda California election results take far too long I don’t think there is a valid excuse for the snail’s pace vote counting in California following the Nov. 5 election. I read a recent article stating that county election departments want to make sure no mistakes are made. However, New York, Florida, Texas and other populous states completed their vote count within a few days. I’m sure officials in those states did their best to avoid mistakes, as well. I think that such drawn out results play into the hands of those who suspect additional ballots are being “found” illegally, whether true or not. We in California should be ashamed of this interminable delay. I sure am. — Paul T. Hohe, San Rafael Democrats need to change course before 2026 votes I consider it fun to watch the pompous, ersatz late-night and weekend “comedians” after an election, with their weeping and gnashing of teeth as they plumb the depths to determine “what went wrong” after they didn’t get what they wanted. They’ll get over it. But let me offer this to Democratic Party leaders, for the next time they are in power at the national level: • Elect a strong chief executive who exercises cohesive foreign, economic and immigration policies. • Anoint a candidate who is more than ordinary, who can respond to policy questions with substantive, rational answers. • Develop a party that respects traditional American values. Finally, after watching what happened to President Joe Biden following our vote in the California primary election, I think Democrats should put a truthful disclaimer on the next one in 2026. It should read, “Warning: your vote may become null and void if party hierarchy determines your candidate has no chance of winning.” — Bob Bowen, Tam Valley Governor’s memoir must include his budget mistake I couldn’t help but notice that on Nov. 29 the IJ published a story about Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to write a memoir on the same day it ran political columnist Dan Walters’ piece saying Newsom’s recent state budget roller coaster was caused by “one of California’s most boneheaded political acts.” I wonder how much ink Newsom will devote to this inconvenient truth in his memoir. — John Bennett, San Rafael Newsom should charge a fee for unoccupied homes I am a 65-year resident of California. I am retired and I vote. Our state has an extremely high volume of overpriced, oversized homes. It’s time for Gov. Gavin Newsom to act. Because of the price of these homes, some remain unoccupied for extended periods. Meanwhile, it appears to me that construction company owners are profiting from tax adjustments and other enhancement benefits. Newsom should propose fees for the owners of these empty homes. There should be a cost for dwellings sitting unoccupied. They need to be charged “rent” for unoccupied homes that have been built recently. Newsom should demand those charges monthly until they are adequately occupied with citizens at reasonable rates. There are millions of people who have no place to live and cannot afford what is available. This must cease. I think it is Newsom’s duty as our governor to protect us and our financial interests. I think the fees for unoccupied homes should be overwhelming to these construction companies so that they stop the obscene practice of cheating the public with their tax benefits and other positive (to them) financial arrangements. — Bruce Mallon, PetalumaGerry Dulac: Steelers defense failed to close out a win — again

Australia's Social Media Ban Sparks Global DebateThe Atlanta Braves lost out on Max Fried earlier this offseason and they're likely to miss out on Charlie Morton as well. Atlanta struggled with starting pitching depth in 2024, and it could become an even bigger problem heading into 2025. FanSided's Cody Williams recently pitched an intriguing idea for the Braves. Williams suggested the Braves could look to trade for Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Jordan Montgomery, who's more than likely headed out of Arizona this winter. "With Burnes now in Arizona, there frankly isn't a spot in the D'Backs rotation for Montgomery after his ill-fated signing with the club after missing spring training," Williams wrote. "It was an abject disaster for the southpaw in the desert, pitching in 25 games to a dismal 6.23 ERA with a 1.65 WHIP. Now, the Diamondbacks front office has made not bones about the fact they want to move on but, after Montgomery opted in, they'll have to trade him. "But that's where the Braves could be interested. Yes, last year was a disaster for Montgomery. However, it also looks like the outlier based on his previous three seasons." Montgomery would be very easy to trade for. The Diamondbacks seemingly want him gone so bad that they'll eat a large chunk of his deal to trade him. It likely wouldn't cost the Braves any top 30 prospects either. With Montgomery's upside being as high as it could be, this might not be a terrible idea for the Braves to pursue. More MLB: Giants Predicted To Go All-In On Blockbuster Trade For Padres $108 Million AceBy Paul Hughes | Republican-American HARTFORD — If ranked-choice voting is allowed in local elections in Connecticut, the choice should be left to each town and city to make, a study group recommended Thursday. The Governor’s Ranked-Choice Voting Working Group voted 11-1 to back a series of recommendations for creating a voluntary system to allow municipalities and political parties to use this voting method in caucuses, conventions, primaries and certain municipal elections. In Connecticut elections, a voter currently chooses one candidate, and the candidate with the most votes wins. Candidates do not need an outright majority to be elected, but rather only a plurality of the ballots cast. With ranked-choice voting, voters select candidates in order of preference. If no candidate wins more than 50% of the votes, then the election goes into elimination rounds, and voter rankings come into play, as candidates with the fewest votes are eliminated and votes are redistributed until one candidate achieves the required majority. Supporters on the governor’s working group argued Thursday that ranked-choice voting will better serve voters and democracy, while others, including Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas, expressed some reservations and urged moving cautiously, and Annalisa Stravato, the Republican registrar of voters in Wilton and executive vice president of the Registrar of Voters Association of Connecticut, recommended not moving forward at all. “My main concern is the costs,” Stravato said. She said optional ranked-choice voting will increase the cost of local election administration, including staffing, training, and printing, and she questioned whether the state or local governments would end up paying the additional expenses. Stravato also said ranked-choice voting would make tabulating ballots, reporting election results and conducting recounts more time consuming. WORKING GROUP MEMBERS all agreed that if municipalities and political parties are given the option of using this voting method that the sufficient state funding must be provided to the secretary of the state’s office and local governments. This proviso was added to the subcommittee recommendations that were adopted Thursday. One of the subcommittees had already recommended the secretary of the state be given authority to defer implementation of ranked-choice voting if there are issues with ballot design, or the tabulation technology, or inadequate resources. Attorney Monte Frank, a vice chairman of the working group, offered his strong support for giving municipalities and political parties the option of using ranked-choice voting, but he stressed that state funding is a must-have. “If we don’t do it right, let’s not do it at all. But we should do it right. It is about time that this state stood up and devoted the resources to make the election process, and civic education, and voter education a priorities, said Frank, a former candidate for lieutenant governor of the eponymous Griebel-Frank for CT Party in 2018. THOMAS CAUTIONED that adding the option of ranked-choice voting would add to already heavy workloads that are straining state and local election officials and workers now. “I am continually asking myself if our election system is the thing we want to push beyond the breaking point,” she said. “Even one mistake carries the risk of eroding trust in our elections at best and disenfranchising voters at worst.” Over the next two years, Thomas said new ballot tabulators, a new voter registration system, and a new election reporting system will be introduced, and state and local election workers will need to be trained in the use of each one. She said state legislators are also expected to consider legislation in the 2025 legislative session revising post-election audit procedures, which would also require additional training if the current law is revised. Thomas said the state legislature will also be considering proposed changes to early in-person voting after its introduction in the 2024 elections. In addition, state voters just approved a constitutional amendment on Nov. 5 to allow the legislature to authorize no-excuse absentee voting in state law. Thomas said it is likely no-excuse absentee ballots will be rolled out in the 2025 local elections, or the 2026 state elections. THE WORKING GROUP also recommended a pilot program involving a group of interested municipalities to test out ranked-choice voting and obtain firsthand experience for evaluating its potential wider use. This recommendation further proposed that the secretary of the state’s office be given the authority and resources to conduct this limited test of ranked-choice voting. Stravato, the Wilton registrar, said she is also concerned about voter fatigue. She said some local ballots are lengthy because of the number of public offices that are elected, and voters could end up getting frustrated with having to vote for so many candidates that they will leave offices blank on their ballots. The working group stressed the importance of robust civic education generally about ranked-choice voting and specifically about its roll out if and when the option becomes available, and, again, recommended the legislature provide the secretary of the state’s office adequate resources for these purposes.

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington was minding his own business during practice recently, doing his due diligence while running his route when the ball suddenly came his way. Washington wasn't sure what option he was on the play. he certainly wasn't first. Probably not even second. Maybe not even third. Washington was on the back side all by his lonesome while a sea of wide receivers and running backs zig-zagged across quarterback Russell Wilson's field of vision. Only, Wilson didn't like what he saw. Not enough to throw it anyway. So he pivoted to his left and found Washington wide open for a big gain. Asked if he was surprised to find the ball in his hands, Washington nodded. “A little bit,” he said. “I don't know. I don't know what was going on with the other people.” Wilson did. He almost always seems to these days for the first-place Steelers (9-3), who find themselves atop the AFC North behind the play of their resurgent 36-year-old quarterback, who has taken a decidedly democratic approach to resurrecting his career. The nine-time Pro Bowler threw the ball to 10 different players while piling up 414 yards last week against the Bengals . Sure, mercurial star George Pickens got the ball. But so did Washington. And third tight end MyCole Pruitt. And wide receiver Ben Skowronek, who turned his second catch of the season into a 23-yard gain on a drive that ended with one of Wilson's three touchdown passes. “You never know when it’s coming your way,” Skowronek said. Not with Wilson at the controls. Fourteen different players have at least one catch this season for the Steelers. That includes Mike Williams, whose lone grab a month since being acquired from the New York Jets is a 32-yard rainbow for the winning score in the final minutes against Washington. It also includes Skowronek, who spent the early portion of the season on injured reserve and worried he'd sort of lost his place in line while he rehabbed. Skowronek and his teammates have quickly learned that with Wilson, there is no “line." During his six starts since returning from a calf injury, Wilson has thrown it wherever, whenever. “It’s like in baseball,” said Wilson, a former minor league second baseman. “You’ll never hit a home run if you don’t swing. And I really believe that you’ve got to swing, you’ve got to trust guys. You’ve got to be able to trust yourself.” Something that hasn't been an issue for Wilson for years, even if he arrived in Pittsburgh at a crossroads following an abrupt fall from grace in Denver. The Steelers couldn't sign Wilson to a one-year deal for the veteran minimum fast enough, and Wilson wasted little time building a rapport with players who were relative strangers. What began with throwing sessions in San Diego has morphed into team dinners and Friday nights where Wilson and first-year offensive coordinator Arthur Smith will hole themselves up in the team facility poring over tapes and bouncing ideas off each other until their wives call wondering where they are. On game days, that work manifests itself in various ways. It's tight end Pat Freiermuth drifting toward an open area while Wilson scrambles, as he did two plays after Skowronek's grab for a 25-yard touchdown. It's Wilson calling an audible at the line of scrimmage late against Cincinnati to hit Van Jefferson for a 43-yard gain that led to a clinching field goal. It's not just good for the stat sheet, it's good for the vibes. “Morale is a big part,” Smith said. Guys who want to be invested. Spreading it around is beneficial in a myriad of ways. It means players don't feel they are “decoys on every play,” as Smith put it. It also means once you put it on film, it means opponents have to find a way to defend it. And the more things an opponent has to defend, the better for an offense, particularly one led by a quarterback who will make his 195th start on Sunday when Cleveland (3-9) visits. “Russ has seen every coverage,” Skowronek said. “He’s ran all these concepts before. So he knows progressions like probably the back of his hand.” Besides, Wilson knows he can't just preach about the importance of being unselfish without practicing it a little bit too. That means giving opportunities to those who have worked for it, no matter where they might fall on the depth chart. “I think that the best part about it is that we’re all super close,” Wilson said. “And I think that bond is really everything too, and just the understanding of each guy and the relationships that we have together, it’s fun. We’re having a great time.” It sure looks like it. The Steelers are averaging a healthy 28.7 points since Wilson recovered from a calf injury that forced him to watch the first six games from the sideline. For the first time in a long time, Pittsburgh no longer has to rely exclusively on its defense to get by. While Mike Tomlin will never get comfortable with the idea of getting into a shootout — blame his defensive coaching roots before taking over in Pittsburgh in 2007 — it's nice to know his team can match opponents score for score if necessary. Another one could be looming against the Browns, who piled up more than 500 yards in a loss to Denver on Monday night. If one materializes, Wilson is ready to do whatever is necessary and find whoever is necessary, regardless of pedigree, salary or resume. “We got to love that part of it,” Wilson said. “We can’t fear it. We’ve got to want it. We’ve got to expect it. We’ve got to embrace it. We’ve got to challenge that. We’ve got to be in those moments and be locked into that moment. I think we do an extremely good job of that.”

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Jimmy Carter was honored with a moment of silence before the Atlanta Falcons’ game at the Washington Commanders on Sunday night, hours after the 39th president of the United States died at the age of 100 in Plains, Georgia. Beyond being a Georgia native who led the country from the White House less than 8 miles (12 kilometers) away during his time in office from 1977-81, Carter was the first president to host the NFL's Super Bowl champions there when he welcomed the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1980. Falcons owner Arthur Blank in a statement released by the team before kickoff said he was deeply saddened by the loss of his dear friend and mentor, calling Carter “a great American, a proud Georgian and an inspirational global humanitarian.” “He lived his life with great civic responsibility and took it upon himself to be the change he wished to see amongst other,” Blank said, recalling meeting Carter at The Home Depot. “President Carter’s kind and uniting spirit touched so many lives. He was a man of deep faith, and did everything with principal and grace, doing things the right way for the right reasons." ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Stephen Whyno, The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Dylan Raiola took the shotgun snap and saw the Boston College defensive end crash in hard. Time to improvise. On the day Raiola set a new Nebraska freshman passing record for a season, perhaps his most crucial sequence came on a rare run. With the Huskers leaking momentum after a blocked punt helped whittle their lead to 20-15 late in the fourth quarter, the quarterback pulled the ball from Rahmir Johnson and took off to his left on a first-and-10 play from the NU 36. Raiola picked up five yards and slid late as defensive back Carter Davis crashed into him. Officials flagged Davis for a late-hit personal foul — Eagles coach Bill O’Brien vehemently disagreed in the moment and declined to discuss it afterward — as Raiola rolled to his feet and got in the face of the defender to set off a brief on-field scuffle. “He tried to take me out which is why I came up and kind of reacted,” Raiola said. “But I guess it was just kind of the fire in me. Game’s on the line, I’m going to lay it on the line for my team. I got up, I knew I wasn’t going to do anything but my linemen came in and kind of cleaned up for me.” People are also reading... Raiola finished 23-of-31 passing for 228 yards, pushing his season passing total to 2,823 yards in 13 games. The previous school mark was 2,617 by Adrian Martinez in 2018.
