China sees surge in Nvidia AI chip repair businesses despite export bans

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2026-01-04 08:47:00

In brief: There's a strange situation occurring in China: despite Nvidia's high-end AI chips being restricted from export to the country, businesses that repair these GPUs are experiencing a boom in demand. One company now handles up to 500 AI chip repairs every month. The US has restricted the export of Nvidia's most powerful AI chips to China since 2022 over fears that they could be used for military purposes. Although these chips aren't officially available in the Asian nation, a booming re

Analyzing Ancient Footprints, Scientists Find Evidence Dinos Like T-Rex Did the "Moonwalk" to Attract Mates

Scientists have discovered that a fossil site in Colorado was once the equivalent of a popular nightclub back in the long-ago Cretaceous era. In those times, male dinosaurs, some similar to the Tyrannosaurus rex, traveled to this once long-ago plain of tidal mud to preen and bust dance moves — even doing what the researchers described as a prehistoric moonwalk a la Michael Jackson— in hopes of catching the eyes of obliging females at the scene, according to a new study in the journal Cretaceous

Implementing dynamic scope for Fennel and Lua

I’m continuing my work on fennel-cljlib, my port of clojure.core and some other core libraries, focusing on porting missing functions and features to it. One such feature, which I sometimes miss in Lua and Fennel, is dynamic binding. The Lua VM doesn’t provide dynamic scoping as a language feature, and Fennel itself doesn’t introduce any concepts like Clojure’s Var . However, we can still implement dynamic scoping that works similarly to Clojure and other Lisps using the debug library. Most of

Scientists have discovered a dinosaur that might have chirped like a bird, a finding that suggests the evolutionary origins of birdsong may be far more ancient than we previously thought. In a paper published last week in the journal PeerJ, an international team of researchers describes a 163-million-year-old fossil found in northeastern China’s Hebei Province.

This piece was inspired by this post by Aaron Boodman. I remember myself as a calm, quiet kid, happiest when I had a bunch of wires in my hands.
