The next side of this is they then will be required to itemize and track who each device is sold to and lock it down via hardware licensing requirements likely in some form of phoning home to a centralized authorization server.
Which they currently do the Chinese Military supposedly has a good number of the H100's already obtained from where ever they get them, hell they probably have an inside guy at the AIB who just messed up a shipping label and they get dropped off...
it's not like they don't already have spies over here that can just purchase them, box them up and ship them over there anyway. but i guess it doesn't hurt to throw a monkey wrench in their gears. like we've done with nuclear technology with n...
There are legit ones, not just the prison farms.
Yes those are a thing, in China, they found that putting prisoners out to do manual labor was not cost-effective so instead having them farm digital currencies was a more profitable and less...
Yet no restrictions on AMD or Intel hardware, which seems unfair and short-sighted.
If they are going to go so far as to legislate this it seems odd to me that they would only target Nvidia, all this does is open the possibility for China to...
Which they're most likely doing. There's a huge difference between designing a chip to comply with US export law, and doing an LHR version of a video card to pacify gamers that you don't really care about. I'm quite certain Nvidia is being a...
Everythng seems to be going to shit since Xi made himself Most Belovedest Grandest Lord Emperor of China for All of Time Including Wednesdays and companies started to get weirded out. Now the bloom is off, debt is costing money and all that...
https://ai.meta.com/tools/pytorch/#:~:text=PyTorch is an open source,support needed for production deployment.
Open Source, some of the major contributors are located in China, so they built it as a means to work around the US hardware...
Going strictly by the Density requirements the entirety of the Ada Lovelace lineup violates that provision, and as each of the chips has a workstation or enterprise equivalent then really none of Nvidia's current lineup is allowed to be sold in...
Why they did not restrict the 4090 in 2022 with the a100/h100 if they are not moving the goalpost ? they gave special license to a list of gpu for them to be sellable and they remove them at will over time.
Will they ban all the Apple product...
It wasn’t just some firmware block the card the government is referencing is the H800, which was physically different and designed to be a cut down H100 to comply with the laws as they were written and was approved as meeting those restrictions...
Not if they are using weak (like the LHR mining restrictions) controls that can (and will) be broken the second the GPU's wind up in China.
A company like Nvidia is not that incompetent that they cannot physically disable portions of their...
Lets remember: Sony started charging a subscription to play online because Microsoft did it and got away with it. I remember playing FPS games online on my PS3, and there was no cost involved at all.
By removing the cost barrier regarding an...
And in other news, easy-to-use contact lists on telephone devices have reduced people's ability to memorize phone numbers, and search engines have reduced people's ability to remember specifics.
We're lazy, why remember the specifics on how to...
I disagree.
From the perspective of "does it prepare me for the workforce" sure. Many of the things you learn in college are useless for that.
But there is more to higher education than just workforce training.
The original charter of the...
The study showed that time pressure caused memory loss as well, not sure how well the design was to distinguish correlation and causation, and even more so actual memory loss, they asked question like: Nowadays, I can’t retain too much in my mind...
Our big brains exist because of evolutionary pressure. If we relieve that pressure by having AI do all the thinking for us, then yeah, we're going to get dumber. It's very much a "use it or lose it" thing. Mother Nature is under no obligation to...
