This request seems to have preceded the stalker app of last week.

I think that's the point: they'll keep pushing for these things, until the public is fatigued and no longer cares to push back; at which point they'll get them through.
The gov will block this for the wrong reasons(they want Ellison to win this) but here’s hoping this and Paramount both get blocked, this level of concentration is not good.
Wow, that was a good article. So much detail from financial to optical linking to build various data flow topologies. Makes me less aghast at the $10M salaries for the masters of these techniques.
Everglades as a biological system is perhaps one of the most unique things in the world.
I don’t think there is one like this.
It was eye opening to visit, have never been this close to Aligators.
It should be preserved in totality, for as long as we can, it is an American treasure. Unsustainable building in Florida is not a good enough reason to drain the Everglades.
So about 5 years behind the cutting edge, SMIC showed their advanced lithography tools today(still no ASML) but come 2030 at this rate? Hard to say they won’t catch up.
While their lithography may lag, their system-level engineering is leveraging unique strengths.
China's lack of power constraints allows them to build massive, optically-networked systems like the CloudMatrix 384.
There is a SemiAnalysis that compares it to Nvidia’s GB200 NVL72.
It looks like they overcome weaker individual chips to outperform Nvidia’s GB200 NVL72 with 2x the compute, 3.6x the aggregate memory, and 2.1x the memory bandwidth.
with scale-out networking and software optimization, not just silicon.
> Clearly the businesses claim they need Nvidia chips,
From the article: "The ban... comes after Chinese regulators concluded that domestic chips had attained performance comparable to those of Nvidia’s models used in China."
So those businesses do not need crippled Nvidia chips, they merely want them because of familiarity, wider ecosystem, maybe lower cost of ownership.

Obviously : if a rug was pulled from under your feet once - don't use the same rug again and don't fund that rug manufacturer with additional purchases! Fund your own makers instead.
This will also not pass and will be withdrawn quietly like that last one they tried.
