The Nvidia Way: Jensen Huang and the Making of a Tech Giant
"[L]oaded with fascinating details about Huang’s unusual leadership style and maniacal work habits." —Ben Cohen, Wall Street Journal "The definitive look at the most remarkable business story of this era." —Morgan Housel, New York Times best-selling author of The Psychology of Money and Same As Ever A deeply reported business history of the chip-designer Nvidia—from its founding in 1993 to its recent emergence as one of the most valuable corporations in the world—explaining how the company’s culture, overseen by cofounder and CEO Jensen Huang, has powered its incredible success. Nvidia is the darling of the age of artificial intelligence: its chips are powering the generative-AI revolution, and demand is insatiable. For all the current interest and attention, however, Nvidia is not of our time. Founded more than three decades ago in a Denny’s in East San Jose, for years it was known primarily in the then-niche world of computer gaming. In fact, the company’s leather-jacketed leader, Jensen Huang, is the longest-serving CEO in an industry marked by near constant turmoil and failure. In The Nvidia Way, acclaimed tech writer Tae Kim draws on more than one hundred interviews—including Jensen (as he is known) and his cofounders, the two original venture capital investors, early former employees, and current senior executives—to show how Nvidia played the longest of long games, repeatedly creating new markets and outmaneuvering competitors, including the original semiconductor giant, Intel, which now finds itself well behind the upstart. Kim offers revelations at every step, among them: An authoritative, myth-busting account of Nvidia’s founding in 1993. How Nvidia managed to overcome early missteps that would have killed most start-ups. The benefits of Nvidia’s flat organizational structure, which allows even low-level employees to contribute to the direction of the company. How Jensen’s obsession with solving the Innovator’s Dilemma—the problem of an entrenched market leader falling to smaller, nimbler companies—drove him to reinvent his approach to corporate strategy. How Nvidia saw the coming AI wave sooner than anyone else, and how it bet its future on a technology that had not yet arrived. A rare view into Nvidia’s distinct culture and Jensen’s management principles, The Nvidia Way is a book for our moment as well as an instant classic of business history, with enduring lessons for entrepreneurs and managers alike.
BORN DEMON GOD CHAPTER 07
BORN DEMON GOD CHAPTER 07Zhang Linshan was completely enraged, the Profound Qi in his body violently surged out, condensing into a layer of Profound Qi armor outside his body.

The armor was covered with scales, its chest was shaped like an eagle’s head, and in his hand condensed a Profound Qi sword that was 5 meters long. He knew that Ning Xiaoxuan cultivated the Blood Devouring Demon Art, so he condensed this layer of battle armor to protect himself. - Phew… A mist-like Profound Qi sprayed out from Zhang Linshan’s mouth, covering all the buildings within a 10-meter radius, forming a separate area. Ning Xiaoxuan had always been wary of Zhang Linshan, but in that moment, Zhang Linshan’s body had directly turned into nothingness, disappearing into the mist. “Ning Xiaoxuan, I have to admit, you are indeed extremely talented, but you are still too young after all, perhaps if you had cultivated in the Emperor Void for another five years, you would have been able to defeat all of the Emperor Void without any opponents, but now, you are far from having such strength.”

He had seen Ji Bing Yan use the Cross-Wind Gate technique once before, so he tried to trick him into using it again.

Because Yi Dian Hong's swordplay was faster than the wind, no matter how talented he was, there was no way he could stop it in time.
