Frankly, since Windows 7 I almost never see a BSOD. MS has done well modernizing their driver requirements etc. Windows really is a LOT more stable than decades past...

Very true. Intel historically jumps into new products/markets, does ok, then gives up and abandons it at a loss.

You still see the ad, however briefly, which is all that's needed for a brand to build recognition.

For saving the US economy. They threatened to dump their 1.27 trillion in Treasury bones which would have basically cause the global meltdown but their economy has been in free fall since the '90s so they can make a credible threat to do that unlike the rest of the world that would be hurt substantially by it.
Japan did not publicly threaten to do this https://www.snopes.com/fact-ch...

There are no domestic chips coming out of China that can come anywhere close to the training duties of the NV workhorses. At all. The Ascend 910C is rumored to be "as good as an H100", but the domestically (SMIC) produced 910B is so unappealing that even the neutered NV H20s are selling tens of billions of dollars a year worth of parts in China. This is probably because SMIC's N+2 DUV only has about 20% yield, making anything produced on it insanely priced.
Famous last words. China has shown time and time again that with lots of people and many of them very smart and driven, it can catch-up and compete (eg. EVs, smart phones, etc). In a few years it wont matter if the AI chip can surpass Nvidia et al, just like with desktop/laptop/server CPUs, eventually the speed will be more than adequate to do most AI tasks which is all that is needed.
Comment Little to late to even matter? (Score 1) 61
There are many back-channels to get tech into China (same as with Russia despite sanctions). China is already rapidly creating AI chips itself that this wont do much other than perhaps limit Nvidia profits.

It’s gonna be interesting to see if OpenAI keeps getting big venture investment given that LLMs are not all that unique.

Hows the speed performance nowadays? The de-prioritization for prepaid phones was pretty bad the last time I tried MVNO pre-paid.
