In a deleted SCMP article posted earlier tonight: For the first time since the handover, Hong Kong's LegCo did not send an official delegation to Europe or North America during its 4-year term, with one analyst suggesting such visits could lead to "embarrassment or hostility"
Raspberry Pi just announced the Pi 500+
It has a quad-core CPU, 16 GB of RAM, 256 GB SSD (built-in NVMe), and an RGB backlit mechanical keyboard (Gateron KS-33 blue switches).
Cost: $200 - and in this thread I’ll go through some testing notes 🧵
The final chip challenge: Can China build its own ASML?
Wrong question. Can China build something different that is as effective? https://t.co/p5l8tR6iOq

Fukuyama: "Trumpism is basically a mentality drenched in what Nietzsche labeled ressentiment, that is, acute resentment of others based on wounded pride, perceived disregard, fears of inadequacy, and a desire to exact revenge on those who had earlier failed to pay adequate respect."
Yes, I've always found the embrace of Nietzsche by many right-wing populists to be funny. They're the villains in his framework.
SemiAnalysis:
-China’s top AI server, the Huawei AI CloudMatrix 384, beats the best US one, the Nvidia GB200 NVL72
-TSMC manufactured the “vast majority of Ascend 910B and 910C” chips
-Samsung provided the HBM memory chips.
-China's semiconductor manufacturing is improving fast due to ease buying equipment
-The US needs to act fast to slow Huawei and China down. Thread 1/7 $NVDA $TSM #Samsung #Huawei #semiconductors #semiconductor #AIservers
Media reports indicate a Chinese satellite company is supplying the Houthis with imagery to target vessels in the Red Sea, here's an image overlaying the company's satellite imagery coverage in the area along with reported incidents since Dec 2023 (*not synced by date)
Taiwan vs China: So we’re to believe that:
1) an AI geek from Hangzhou created #DeepSeek as a side project
2) He got 50,000 #Nvidia H100 GPUs (USD30K each) for less than USD10 million
3) Nvidia’s Jensen Huang #黃仁勳 had no idea why #Singapore was buying so many GPUs?

💰Viktor Orbán’s son-in-law István Tiborcz was spotted with a €600K Ferrari SF90 Spider in Marbella, per MP @hadhazyakos's findings. Tiborcz and Orbán’s daughter Ráhel lived there and likely still own undisclosed assets in Spain.

#China's regime dares to claim it has never bullied or oppressed anyone—while it violently occupies #EastTurkistan, #Tibet, #SouthMongolia & #Manchuria, and threatens #Taiwan with invasion. This map reveals the truth: The #PRC is not a nation—it’s an EVIL EMPIRE built on subjugation. #DecolonizeChineseEmpire
