Wow. The tech and NASDAQ giant NVIDIA's shares have tanked in after hours trading, down 7 percent right now. Might have something to do with this disclosure:

"On April 9, 2025, the U.S. government, or USG, informed NVIDIA Corporation, or the Company, that the USG requires a license for export to China (including Hong Kong and Macau) and D:5 countries, or to companies headquartered or with an ultimate parent therein, of the Company's H20 integrated circuits and any other circuits achieving the H20's memory bandwidth, interconnect bandwidth, or combination thereof. The USG indicated that the license requirement addresses the risk that the covered products may be used in, or diverted to, a supercomputer in China.

The Signal Chat Leak and the NSA - Schneier on Security

US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, who started the now-infamous group chat coordinating a US attack against the Yemen-based Houthis on March 15, is seemingly now suggesting that the secure messaging service Signal has security vulnerabilities. "I didn’t see this loser in the group," Waltz told Fox News about Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg, whom Waltz invited to the chat. "Whether he did it deliberately or it happened in some other technical mean, is something we’re trying to figure out." Waltz’s implication that Goldberg may have hacked his way in was followed by a ...

Visiting Hiroshima is a chastening experience, and an awesome reminder that we do not need nuclear energy of an¥ sort in Australia. Apart from that, we have more than adequate renewable energy.
