I think I’ve been duped. Why would Chinese researchers announce that it might be a good idea to put Nvidia chips in hypersonic missles. If they were planning on doing such a thing, I don’t think they would come out and announce that they are going to use US components to build Chinese military equipment knowing our paranoia over the issue…unless that’s just what they want people to think. I believe that story was planted in western media for whatever reason. Perhaps they want to stir things up so that we ban Ndvida from China altogther so they don’t have to. I don’t really know, but it sounds like a planted story.
Yes, I survived the “Trump era”
People are already talking about the “Trump era” as they long to bring back a time when things were much better. You would think the Trump era was the dawning of the golden-age of civilization or something, but were things really much better under Trump? My guess is it largely depends on where you get your news. The media can paint a rosy picture and stoke up feelings of nostalgia, or they could make everything look like its going to hell – depending on who’s in office, and what outlet you’re watching. Inflation is still around, but who wants to go back to a time when things were falling apart due to Trump’s incompetence over the pandemic? The world is a much more dangerous place now but that isn’t Biden’s fault as much as it is shifting geopolitical tensions. You can romanticize the Trump era with it’s roaring economy (by the way, thanks for putting us trillions of dollars in the hole so a few people could buy bigger yatchts), but the Biden years aren’t so bad if you ask me. It’s largely a matter of perception.
The Christian’s political dilemma
On the one hand your conscience is telling you not to vote for democrats because you are pro-life. On the other hand, your conscience is telling you that you can’t possibly vote for someone as unethical, and irresponsible as Donald Trump. So you have no good choices. You can sit it out or vote for an unviable 3rd party candidate, or you could dismiss your conscience and vote for Biden or Trump. Most of the time, I like to vote democrat but I’ve had misgivings since I’m pro-life. On the other hand, voting for Trump who is surely to abuse his power once again, would make me responsible for whatever crimes he will commit in the future, given what I already know about him. In my view, Biden may be avidly pro-choice, but in the grand scheme of things, the President has little control over the issue other than nominating more liberal judges to the Supreme Court, but this court is relatively young so the chances of bringing liberals back into the majority are slim. So I think I’m safer voting for a President that can do little for the abortion issue, than I would voting for someone like Trump who is unfit for office.
Nvidia chips can power China’s hypersonic missiles, say Chinese researchers
While sanctions have prevented Nvidia from selling China high-end chips, it hasn’t stopped them from exporting lower-end chips that can still be used in weaponry, specificly, hypersonic missiles. According to an article appearing in The Register, Nvidia’s lower-end chips have reportedly made their way into China’s hypersonic missiles. It might be a big revenue hit for Nvidia to stop selling GPUs to China altogether, but national security should trump Nvidia’s China business.
