After the resignation of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, speculation has begun about who will take over the leadership of the company. Colette Kress, currently Nvidia's CFO and interim CEO, is a strong contender and a favorite among investors familiar with her work. Ian Buck, Nvidia's Vice President and General Manager of Hyperscale and High-Performance Computing, is another internal candidate, credited with creating CUDA and responsible for key product lines.

Rene Haas, CEO of British chipmaker Arm, is seen as a potential outsider with insider knowledge, given his previous experience at Nvidia. Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, is also under consideration due to her close relationship with Huang. Johny Srouji, Apple's Chief Hardware Officer, has been mentioned as a possibility as well, though it's unclear if Nvidia is the right fit.

Lastly, former Apple CEO Tim Cook's name has been floated, although he would need to step down as Apple's executive chairman to take the Nvidia role.

Should a daily puzzle tell you how close you were, or only whether you were right?

Every daily puzzle makes one design decision before anything else: what happens after a wrong guess. "Wrong" is one bit of information. "Warm" is a lesson. "Here's exactly how far" might be a spoiler.

  • Binary feedback simply tells if you're right or wrong
  • Proximity feedback indicates how close you were to the correct answer
  • Explanatory feedback provides reasons for wrong guesses
