Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
The vast majority of countries fall into the second tier of restrictions, which establishes maximum levels of computing power that can go to any one nation — equivalent to about 50,000 graphic processing units, or GPUs, from 2025 to 2027, the people said.
Bruh, this can't be real
USA fears the gamers of the world
BRICS goes brrrrrrrr
This is basically just a map of who China will be exporting chips to lol
Always the same map.
Portugal absolutely in shambles after being kicked out of the westoid club
Portugal, Switzerland, Austria and Greece are tier 2? Lmao
Isn'trael
They had to try a bit harder on this one by filling in the "bad" countries and the "idk but probably bad" countries
We’re back to first, second, third world shit lol
Interesting how French Guiana counts as a part of France and Greenland doesn't count as a part of Denmark, in spite of both basically having the same degree of dependence from their colonizers.
Also apparently being a founding member of NATO doesn't make you an ally of the US when you're Portugal or Iceland.
Greenland doesn't count as a part of Denmark
Also whoever made the map could just be an idiot
North Yemen being in Tier 2 lets goooooo Ansarallah supercomputers incoming
Limiting the entire global south is such a disgusting move what the fuck
even if this policy worked (and it won't) how much of an edge does the US even have in this area, two years tops?
At the rate China is advancing, not long at all
when that massive particle accelerator comes online for etching shit is going to get real
I wonder if in a couple of years I'll be trying to discreetly import a Chinese made gpu (32gb vram, half the price of competing nvidia card) labeled as an air purifier or some shit
being immediatly visited by the feds because your chinese made gpu doesn't have a backdoor (for them) and the NSA Panopticon throws up an error
God I hate that this sounds like the most crank shit imaginable and yet it's still not
Years ago, there was some weird glitch on the NSA's software where it wouldn't work without one particular American-made GPU part, but they just kept it in without bothering to look at it, because the two manufacturers are already American anyways? But then it becomes a problem when China puts their hat in the ring, and there's so much spaghetti code they can't possibly find the source of the problem. Lathing it.
I'm relying on this website to tell me how to acquire said GPU when the time comes. 
I fucking hope they try this. It'll hand the future to RISCV and we'll finally see the end of x86
Oh fuck the US is high on its own supply and genuinely believes this will work
They are panicked and desperate and still cannot show a single ounce of humility to save themselves lmao
Please China, use this opportunity to expand your market presence and export those homemade chips to the rest of the world.
I want to play La Witcherina IV and my computer needs an upgrade. I don’t want to sell a kidney just for an overpriced Nvidia GPU.
Now, seriously, it’s incredible how the Yankees keep shooting themselves in the foot.
It already has. Since the US banned Huawei it has just used the open source part of Android to develop it's own OS, which now is more popular than iOS within China and growing outside of China. It's funny to me that people are doubting it's going to take off this year and get the app diversity that Huawei wants for it. Keep doubting Chinese companies, westerners.

Chinese chips are already viable for daily consumer computing (admittedly this is a broad definition). It is important to remember that Moore's law applies to Chinese advancement in semiconductor development just as it did for everyone else with the added exception that much of this technology does not have to be independently developed for the Chinese. They already know how most of it is done because these advancements are part of the public scientific record. For them, it's a matter of developing the processes to scale for manufacturing. So within the next 5 years I firmly believe we will see Chinese developed chips that are on parity with AMD and Intel. China does not throw tens to hundreds of billions of dollars into the development of something without staggering results and that is what they have done with domestic chip R&D. Everyone is saying 10 years, but China has proven time and again to beat expectations at double the pace when they are pressured.

What happened to sovereignty?? Possibly one of the stupidest and least enforceable policies ever made
Sovereignty is contingent on whether you exceed the amount of the computing power the United States wants you to have
I am thankful for the fact that our Chinese Comrades have shown great moral decency in the past and that as soon as our oppressive capitalist system is overthrown, we will immediately be able to mend our relationship and resume collaboration.
I am filled with a potent cocktail of disgust and glee at this display of suicidal arrogance from our ghoul overlords, knowing that control is slipping through their bony fingers.

What possible justification is there for placing limits on the "rest of the world"? Besides racism and imperialism, I mean.
why would this need a besides? or do you mean what's the propaganda reasoning?
Yeah I want to know how they're justifying it. The likes of Biden don't usually say the quiet parts out loud.
How did we end up with the top leadership of the empire so drastically overestimating its current reach and abilities? At this point Trump has a more realistic grasp of global geopolitics.
Also this is basically the plot of the Three Body Problem except the Trisolarans could, y'know, actually do it.
Free market for thee, not for me
Actually, the whole map should be red to curb the computing power and prevent the planet in becoming a slow cooker
JFC, it's not even Lucy and Charlie Brown anymore. It's only Charlie Brown trying to punt the ball and he still just pulls it away from himself for catastrophic failure
