I stopped reading, and discounted entire article, at this point: “There are 10 million factories in the world and 200,000 warehouses and just under 1 billion workers in each, as we noted last …”

In reply to Nitpicking. Not my definition. Jensen's. Perhaps those are freestanding warehouses, like those we see for distribution of products. That is how I read it.

“There are 10 million factories in the world and 200,000 warehouses and just under 1 billion workers in each” – that would be 10.2 million billion workers, about a million times the current human population of the planet.
Also – that’s a ratio of 50 factories per warehouse. I have no idea what the author’s definition of a ‘factory’ or a ‘warehouse’ is, but I would have said there were probably more warehouses than factories in the world.
Nobody actually proof-read this article before it as published, did they?

Selling our military adversaries machines with up to 1700 advanced GPUs each is completely nuts. Every supercomputer made in the last 30 years has been a cluster of smaller machines. This Interim Final Rule is not nearly as strict as it should be.

There should be a total ban on sales of all products with a CPU or GPU more powerful than a cellphone processor to all countries that are military adversaries of the US and our allies. For example, sales of all NVIDIA GPUs, including those for embedded systems, and sales of all computers with Apple’s Pro, Max and Ultra chips should not be allowed to military adversaries. There should also be a total ban on sales and maintenance of all semiconductor manufacturing equipment, not just the most advanced equipment, to our military adversaries.

I agree with Timothy Prickett Morgan that we can’t prevent China from eventually developing similar technology but we can slow them down. A total ban on sales of any product with a chip more powerful than a cellphone processor would slow China down enough that China might come to its senses and decide to remain part of the civilized world instead of invading Taiwan. The war in Ukraine has caused between $500B and $1T of damage in addition to enormous human suffering. A war in Taiwan would be even worse. Taiwan’s GDP ($800B) is about 4x bigger than Ukraine’s GDP ($200B) before Russia invaded.
