The US is restricting the sale of chips that Nvidia Corp. designed specifically for the Chinese market and curbing exports to two Chinese artificial-intelligence chip firms, as part of sweeping updates to export controls that are designed to block China’s access to highly advanced semiconductor technology.
The tighter controls will target Nvidia’s A800 and H800 chips, a senior US official said, which the American firm created for export to the Asian country after the Biden administration introduced its initial restrictions last October. Those curbs, including the updated rules released Tuesday, aim to prevent China from accessing cutting-edge technology with military uses.
Military use has no value here, but AI use has.
The only non military area where US led block has advantage for now is big data and AI. And loosing this battle will mean.. the end.
Facebook was founded 2004, three years after POTN. Twitter was started 2006. Instagram was founded 2010. Snapchat 2011. Discord 2015, Tik Tok 2016. All those multi-billion dollar companies have conquered the market, created the social media as we know it, intentionally aiming to addict by algorithms, put people into own bubbles, track you to target ads, lose content validity in short time so that new content gets created constantly. Some of them reduce message lengths thus directing young people to short attention span and think less about complete sentences. Photos are shared via social media apps, Whatsapp and cloud services. This trend has sped up in last few years, and AI will change it all again. Soon people won't have to write or create anything - it's all done for them.
Sad truth is that there is no place for conventional forums any more with the recent generations. Traffic is down. Enthusiasm is down. Mood is down. Discussion is down.
There are many old timer members who keep posting, but that does not sustain the site. New members appear, but they do not post much, just browse and like here and there. That is the reality. When everyone had only computers (PC or Mac), writing was much faster and easier - now tapping seems to be the main communication method.
Google delivers fewer and fewer ads in forums (most ad slots are empty, meaning we don't have even a chance to get anything), so for a long time I've had to pay most of the server costs from my own pocket, even with some occasional donations which I appreciate.

Thing is - they made wrong extrapolation
But problem is that social networks are not stable platforms, far from it.

None of them have their users in mind other than to rip them and throw out.
Hence people need to have places where they don't have various shits calling them or trying to push corporate agendas.

Issue is that... it is interesting DIY project for student, but as camera... it is useless from the start
US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo has expressed concern about Huawei's recent advances. Specifically, the release of the Kirin 9000s SoC.
Raimondo says the report that the Chinese firm has developed advanced chips is "incredibly troubling." She also notes that her agency needs more tools to enforce export controls.
We need different tools. We need additional enforcement resources. We are as tough as we need to be, but we need more resources
That said, Raimondo previously told the House of Representatives that she sees no evidence that China can produce advanced 7-nanometer chips on a large scale. Recall that recently there were reports that the Kirin 9000s are allegedly produced at 14nm, but with a number of improvements.
What is interesting, against the backdrop of these claims, the US Secretary of Commerce declined to comment on the progress of the Department's investigation into the very SoC Kirin 9000s.
Separately, Raimondo said she was proud of the recent fine her department imposed on Seagate for trading with Huawei without the necessary permits. As a reminder, US-based Seagate was fined $300 million, the largest fine ever imposed on an American company by the US Department of Commerce.
