Taiwan joins chip war escalation, blocks exports to Huawei and SMIC

What just happened? Taiwan has imposed sweeping new export controls on two of China's most critical technology firms, Huawei Technologies and SMIC, thereby escalating a high-stakes battle over the future of advanced semiconductors and artificial intelligence. The move, announced by Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs and approved by the International Trade Administration, places both companies on the strategic high-tech commodities entity list, a roster that includes organizations such as the

Linux kernel WireGuard can go 'fast' on decent hardware

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-12 09:34:22

I'm used to thinking of encryption as a slow thing that can't deliver anywhere near to network saturation, even on basic gigabit Ethernet connections. This is broadly the experience we see with our current VPN servers, which struggle to turn in more than relatively anemic bandwidth with OpenVPN and L2TP, and so for a long time I assumed it would also be our experience with WireGuard if we tried to put anything serious behind it. I'd seen the 2023 Tailscale blog post about this but discounted it

Honda dips its toes in cargo delivery micromobility

Walk around a big city like New York or Amsterdam long enough and you’re bound to notice something: tiny four-wheeled cargo carriers zipping down bike lanes. These battery-assisted vehicles, often called e-quads, are distinct from cargo e-bikes, which tend to be geared toward households. E-quads are larger and sport enclosed cargo holds, making them a darling of delivery companies, including Amazon and UPS, allowing them to sidestep congestion that bogs down regular box trucks.

Quantum upgrade makes random number generation fully traceable

Trust, but verify: Random number generation is a serious matter in modern computing. Most systems rely on a purely hardware-based approach to RNG, but the process is essentially impossible to verify or trace. Now, a new quantum-based method developed by US researchers could offer a potential solution to this RNG puzzle.

The U.S. has placed major chip export restrictions on Huawei and Chinese firms over the past few years. This has cut off companies' access to critical semiconductors. Taiwan has added China's Huawei and SMIC to its trade blacklist in a move that further aligns it with U.S. trade policy and comes amid growing tensions with Beijing.

The Algebra of an Infinite Grid of Resistors

The Algebra of an Infinite Grid of Resistors In a previous note we discussed the well-known problem of determining the resistance between two nodes of an “infinite” square lattice of resistors. The most common approach is to superimpose two “monopole” solutions, one representing the field for one amp of current entering a given node and flowing “to infinity”, and the other representing the field for one amp of current being withdrawn from a given node flowing in from infinity.
