> NVIDIA is licensed by the United States government to sell GPUs to China, and they do so at a rate well under their licensed quantity

My understanding was the Megaspeed sales weren’t classified as sales to China. Nvidia circumvented those requirements.

Based on what? I thought Megaspeed circumvented those requirements?
reply
Did they? Singapore and Malaysia are not China, FYI, and there is no prohibition on Chinese entities using GPU capacity overseas.

This is the biggest problem with HN: people who make big claims without enough research usually get upvoted. But try saying something against, say, Rust, Apple products etc., and you’ll be massively downvoted by fanboys who think they’re superior to everyone else.

Hn is just a rumor mill these days. All people do is gossip

That has always been the case as far as I can tell. The idea that forums were less about rumors and gossip in the past is nonsense

>Apple products

That takes the cake, I personally avoid anything Apple posted. There is much cult (and personality cult) involved it doesn't makes for any sensible discussion
