Last week, after reversing an earlier ban,
⭐️the U.S. administration officially approved the sale of #Nvidia’s H200 chips, along with a chip line by AMD,
to approved Chinese customers.
Maybe they aren’t these chipmakers’ shiniest, most advanced chips,
but they’re high-performance processors used for AI,
making the export controversial.
And at the World Economic Forum in…

Anthropic's CEO stuns Davos with Nvidia criticism | TechCrunch
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei unloaded on both the administration and U.S. chip companies over plans to sell to China. The criticism was particularly notable because one of those chipmakers, Nvidia, is a major partner and investor in Anthropic.

Here’s my 35th “Long Links” outing, curation of long-form offerings, which assume that nobody has time to read all this stuff but one or two of the pieces might brighten your day. This one is mostly political but some of the politics are from France and China. Plus a way-cool analytical history of blogging and a section labeled “wonderful things”.

Black Coffee from lnbits likes internet of things, but doesn't like the way it tends to work with centralised servers and spying companies running them.
But what if your coffee pot and lights and smart plugs were nostr instead?
Nobody can cut your machine off, it has it's own keys and encryption, you could even ruin your own relay to talk to it instead of using public relays.
Remote control without having to expose the home network.
You could even make it require zaps and so make a vending machine.
Demonstration by sending lightning requests to the coffee pot on stage works better than the mikes that have been feeding back this afternoon 😆

On Wednesday night, Nvidia released its highly anticipated/dreaded quarterly earnings report
— and Wall Street let out a sigh of relief,
— at least initially.
The multitrillion dollar chipmaker at the center of the AI boom reported
a ludicrous $57 billion in quarterly revenue,
netting it nearly $32 billion in profit.
Compared to the same quarter from the year before,
it amounted to a 62 percent surge in sales,
and a further 65 percent increase …

Nvidia Doubles Cloud Spending Commitment to $26 Billion
Nvidia said Wednesday it had struck deals to rent $26 billion of servers from cloud providers over the next six years, doubling the cloud spending commitments it disclosed just three months ago. The cloud spending plan implies Nvidia will rent several hundred thousand of its own graphics processing units from cloud providers like Amazon and Google that purchase them. Nvidia said in a

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist,
and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest.
