This is the biggest problem with HN: people who make big claims without enough research usually get upvoted. But try saying something against, say, Rust, Apple products etc., and you’ll be massively downvoted by fanboys who think they’re superior to everyone else.

Hn is just a rumor mill these days. All people do is gossip

That has always been the case as far as I can tell

There used to be people here that didn't make up nonsense for Internet points

>Apple products

That takes the cake, I personally avoid anything Apple posted. There is much cult (and personality cult) involved it doesn't makes for any sensible discussion

> NVIDIA is licensed by the United States government to sell GPUs to China, and they do so at a rate well under their licensed quantity

My understanding was the Megaspeed sales weren’t classified as sales to China. Nvidia circumvented those requirements.

Based on what? I thought Megaspeed circumvented those requirements?

Did they? Singapore is not China, FYI, and there is no prohibition on Chinese entities using GPU capacity overseas.

You mean the BIS revision that allowed NVIDIA to do this? https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/07/business/economy/nvidia-c...

I stand by what I said. If selling to China were like selling to any other non-restricted country, moving $7.5B of product through this particular shell company wouldn't be so shocking.

I also said that this was a small problem compared to the much larger potential problem of him having shared sensitive information with a Chinese spy. It takes a long time for leaks to surface; it is fair to assume that this MIGHT have happened given the romantic relationship that developed.
