For 60 years every computer ever built did the same thing. Stored information and retrieved it on demand. Jensen Huang just explained why that era is over and what replaces it. His framing was the clearest I have ever heard. Think about everything a computer has ever done for you. You wrote a document, you saved it to a file. You took a photo, it saved to a file. You recorded music, it saved to a file. When you wanted it back, you retrieved it from a disc. That is it. That is 60 years of computing. Store and retrieve. He pointed out something hiding in plain sight. We call them data centers. Not computer centers. Because we were not really computing anything meaningful. We were storing data that you retrieved based on what you tapped on your phone. Then he explained what changed. Every time you give AI a prompt today, the response is produced originally in real time. It is not retrieved from storage. It is generated fresh based on your specific context, your specific question, your specific moment. What you see is completely different from what anyone else sees because it was made for you. Jensen said every pixel you see, every word you read, every video you watch in the future will be originally generated. Not retrieved. 60 years of computing was about building better storage and faster retrieval. The entire paradigm flipped overnight. He said this simply: we went from a retrieval industry to a generation industry. And the machines that generate intelligence are what Nvidia builds. The buildings used to be called data centers because they stored data. Nobody has renamed them yet. But the job description changed completely.

Clinicians described the results as “one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.” An experimental once-daily oral drug called daraxonrasib has produced unprecedented outcomes in advanced pancreatic cancer, reducing the risk of death by 60% compared to standard chemotherapy. In the Phase 3 RASolute 302 trial, daraxonrasib, a RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor developed by Revolution Medicines, nearly doubled median overall survival from 6.6–6.7 months with chemotherapy to 13.2 months in patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The trial, presented as a plenary session at the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting, triggered a rare standing ovation from oncology experts. Unlike traditional therapies, daraxonrasib effectively targets multiple KRAS variants and even wild-type RAS, offering broad applicability to the vast majority of pancreatic cancers. The drug was also far better tolerated, with only 1.2% of patients discontinuing treatment due to side effects, compared to 11.2% in the chemotherapy arm. This represents a major advance for a disease long considered one of the most lethal in oncology. Experts are hailing daraxonrasib as a potential paradigm shift that could transform metastatic pancreatic cancer into a more manageable condition. The FDA has already granted expanded access for eligible patients. [O’Reilly, E. M., et al. (2026). Daraxonrasib or Chemotherapy in Previously Treated Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer.

Putin presents the question of historical choice: create your own technology or turn into a digital periphery. “Foreign services can be convenient at first, but later they will definitely manifest the price of this dependence.”

Did you know? In #Tanzania, 13.2% more children are surviving beyond their 5th birthday in 2019 than in 2015. While that is a vast improvement. It’s still too many who don’t. #WorldHealthDay2022 #ForEveryChild #Health

WHO on Tuesday recommended interleukin-6 receptor blockers for people with severe COVID-19. WHO said that the move is based on the findings from a prospective and living network meta-analysis initiated by the WHO, the largest such analysis on the drugs to date.
