Welcome to this week’s Game of the Week! This game comes from the Tata Steel Chess Tournament in Wijk aan Zee, a long-standing event that chess fans follow every January and one where strong, fighting games are the norm. The game between Vladimir Fedoseev and Gukesh D is a great example of this. What starts as a solid Queen’s Gambit structure gradually turns into a sharp strategic battle, where one inaccurate plan in the middlegame allows Black to seize the initiative. Gukesh’s energetic counterplay, strong sense for piece activity, and precise tactical decisions make this game especially instructive.

The Jerome was a crime. The Englund was a heist. The Halloween was a federal offense. The Latvian was a declaration of war. But the Grob? This is a war crime committed by a clown.

Clay Bennett's Times cartoon for Jan. 25, 2026.

I couldn't stop thinking about Theo's "Why NVIDIA is dying" video. The thesis felt important enough to verify. So I dug through SEC filings, earnings reports, and technical benchmarks. What I found: * NVIDIA isn't dying. Its $35.1B quarterly revenue is up 94% * Yes, market share dropped (90% → 70-80%), but the pie is growing faster * Groq and Cerebras have impressive chips, but asterisks everywhere * The real moat: 4 million devs can't just abandon 20 years of CUDA tooling * Plot twist: the biggest threat is Google/Amazon/Microsoft, not startups Deeper piece with Cerebras and Groq factored in at https://medium.com/@jpcaparas/nvidias-real-moat-isn-t-hardware-it-s-4-million-developers-648d6aeb1226?sk=82ee7baf9290da1eb93efd9d34c4c7b4 submitted by /u/jpcaparas [link] [comments]
