Lol, how would geo-fencing even work/help here?
At the price of those things, bake a GPS IC deep into the chip
GPS is not hard to spoof.

#172And so then Russia buys them via Armenia or Kazakstan for a 30% markup... The only way to really do this is to geo-fence disable the chips.
That could also be a good way to get their sales banned to Armenia and Kazakhstan.

The world isn't really going in the right direction and any sign toward appeasing or pacification is crucial at such stage :/ What I am calling for: closer ties and negotiations and collaborative work.
Sorry what does this comment mean? I genuinely don't understand (not a native speaker). EDIT: Oh I think I get it, you want more cooperation, peace, among humans/countries etc. Yeah, most people want it, but in today's world, it is increasingly unlikely. On one hand, I don't like the fact that Western world emphasizes diversity and multiculturalism too much. We are too different, and forcing everyone to accept everyo…
The irony of voicing such an opinion with the name immigrant heart...

Yes I read the book as well. US already has inside chaos (and will get way way, way way, way way worse), don't need to worry about other countries chaos.
Could very well be, I sincerely hope not. If you remove the facade of petty wars of insert-your-current-thing, I was surprised to see that Biden is even more pro-US and anti-China/Russia than Trump from a strategic standpoint. US is becoming the IBM of sorts of nation. Slow, sluggish, inefficient and it's gonna continue to peddle on as far as no one fucks with the food supplies (or guns).
> US is becoming the IBM of sorts of nation. Slow, sluggish, inefficient
You should look at the GDP per capita of the US compared to literally every other country in the last 10 years.

#175I'm starting to think it's a good idea to stock up on all the electronics you think you might need for the next decade. Because when China finally invades Taiwan, the supply of electronic devices worldwide is going to instantly disappear. How many electronic devices do you own that don't have any part of their supply chain in China or Taiwan or adjacent countries? The COVID shortages we all saw were practically busin…
My understanding is that TSMC is busy building factories in the US. Easy to suspect that this is (1) to keep up production in the event that China takes over Taiwan, (2) to tell China now that even if they do take over Taiwan TSMC production will not stop or be dependent on China but will continue in the US and, thus, lower the interest of China in attacking Taiwan, and (3) once the Chinese military is on the way to Taiwan possibly let TSMC be eager destroy their Taiwan factories on their way out of Taiwan and on the next flight to the US, Belgium, etc., .... Besides, if China does not act nice, they might find that they can't buy any chips to use or copy. The world might regard selling chips to Xi now like selling cordite to Hitler in 1939.
The headlines about Taiwan, I'm guessing, basically add up to a lot of desire by the media for eyeballs for ad revenue and a lot of face saving by Xi, that is, don't let the media and politician talk erode the long existing images and status of Taiwan.
Net, China has plenty to do now without making a big, real issue about Taiwan.
But there is no force guaranteed to keep Xi from making a mistake. E.g., he had China muscle into Hong Kong and violate the "one country, two systems" promise.
I'm guessing that if Xi does to Taiwan what he did to Hong Kong, then TSMC will be producing in the US and on their way out of Taiwan will junk their factories so that China gets nothing.

#177>On July 27th, Nancy & Paul Pelosi sold all 25,000 of their shares of Nvidia, $NVDA. Today $NVDA was told to restrict chip sales in China & Russia by the US Government on August 26. $NVDA is down 20% since their initial sale, -5% in after hours today. https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/156511407338962534...
It's unrelated, Nancy Pelosi doesn't even profit off her stock sales. Her broker is just churning her account to look busy. https://twitter.com/quantian1/status/1476589270454390787 Similarly Rand Paul, if he tried to insider trade, lost money too. https://twitter.com/quantian1/status/1425981488408010756 Remember, most of the time, the boring normal story is the accurate one.

hope not i wouldn't want the CCP being the global leader...but in the end we got rid of Nazi Germany we will do the same with CCP China.
Hitler didn't have hundreds of nukes...
Re: US Government Bans Export of Nvidia A100 and H100 GPUs to China and Russia
#179To me this is a pretty clear message that the US will defend Taiwan with full force.
as it should. Taiwan should become part of NATO asap just like Finland and Sweden are trying to do.
Territorial disputes are a problem for NATO membership, especially wrt article 5. Even if Taiwan gave up any claims to the Chinese mainland or other disputed territories, China's claims of sovereignty of the island could justifiably be enough to deny membership. On top of that, NATO is explicitly a European organization, with no member countries outside the European area besides USA and Canada.

I've always hoped that the US would restrict hardware exports under ITAR, as AI is absolutely a military weapon. I doubt, though, that they will restrict the export of the raw material for creating AI: data.
They can’t even get their own companies to restrict the use of their citizen’s data lol.
Allowing US companies to serve people relevant ads and allowing US companies to aid our number one adversary in developing the most potentially dangerous technology humans will every create are two very different things.
