On /r/hardware, people are still saying 18A is healthy and 10% yield rumors are a lie.... why did their CEO get fired if 18A is healthy and 2-3 quarters away from HVM (based on 0.4 defect rate) ? :rolleyes: Mr. "I bet the entire company on 18A" got fired, but 18A is still Great, trust me bro. The interim co-CEO actually admitted during an investor call that 18A production will be delayed from H1 2025 to H2 2025, presumably that means the the tape-out.

A viable domestic replacement for Nvidia AI accelerators maybe? Maybe not 100% comparable with what Nvidia is offering but enough to get by.

Invalidate Nvidia patents the same way Marco boi was trying to do with Huawei... then seize the company/manufacturing assets, force them to opensource CUDA or else cut them off and cripple their ability to make GPUs (its more than just relying on TSMC etc)

Again, you refuse to see the bigger picture. Yeah the Syrians sucked and they are done already. Now, there are much more important matters than arguing about about macho Sultan Erdogan vs Syrian wimps. Syria have gone from a banana republic to a terrorist kingdom. There are thousands of terrorist there who have already set their sights on Iran, Central Asia, Russia, and China. The consequences are not good for the Global Resistance.

Al-Julani, the HTS leader on Erdogan's leash had reportedly told a bunch of Uighur terrorists during the fighting in Damascus before it fell: "Next you shall free East Turkestan". Understand that.

Do you have reputable source for the Al-Julani statement?

Bashar al-Jafaari was one of the staunchest defender of Syria and Assad at the height of the Syrian War around 2014. Today, he condemns Bashar al-Assad's cowardly flight from Syria and hails the revolution in Syria. Assad had gone from hero to zero in a span of a decade. So much have changed over the years.

Commenting on the developments, al-Jafaari condemned the former president and suggested that the revolution was long overdue.

“The collapse of the corrupt system in a matter of days is evidence of its unpopularity and lack of support both in society and among the army and the armed forces,” the diplomat told RT.

He added that the “shameful and humiliating escape of the head of this system under the cover of night, without any sense of national responsibility to the country, confirms the need for changes that have occurred.”

Assad joins the list of runners like Sheikh Hasina, Victor Yanukovych, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and Marcos Sr. He will not be remembered very fondly by both his enemies and followers. At least Saddam and Gaddafi stayed and died, and people missed them so much more.

Al-Jafaari further hailed the regime change, stating that Syria has “finally become a true homeland for all Syrians” and called on its people to unite and cooperate in restoring security.

Maybe he is doing this because he wishes to stay and work under the new boss. Can't really blame him. He might still have family in Syria, and he didn't deserve what Assad did.

There has to be some under the table deal here.

Despite what the west wants you to believe it's not really some epic rebel uprising and the government soldiers had a change of heart after realizing they were the bad guys.

It's more like Assad handed in his resignation notice and the company decided to stop operations. That's why fighting was minimal coz these guys are now no longer working officially. So a lot must have been agreed on with all sides beforehand.

The question is now new management has taken over the company...what's next?

I think inviolable sovereignty needs to be seriously looked at a UN-level in the long term. Currently there is no mechanism to legitimately apply Darwinism in state relationships. If a country has repeatedly demonstrated an inability to govern itself, does it really need to remain and continue in the future? Whereas for people who are willing to fight and demonstrate capability and competence, there should be a mechanism to allow them to form a state and to see if they can develop further.

It's easily abusable due to foreign interference, but there is also POV that if you cannot even defend from foreign interference, you don't deserve to be a state.

Anyway, that's complicated stuff and would need serious discussions but something to keep in mind. Past state relations have always advanced on the concept of the strong moving forward and the weak getting eliminated. The current situation has exposed various weaknesses of the current UN-system

Just like credit ratings, countries having governance ratings and are repossessed by the UN (a clean, new UN) when they are unable to provide, for the benefit of the local population

Of course it is bad. It is inevitable kind of bad. But it is also relatively inconsequencial in the great power struggle. Big win for Israel and Turkey, that is all.

But end of the day these are minor headache for China and Russia. Bigger loser is Iran here.
