    "By comparison, at least, the way the Chinese government speaks about AI is more modest. Yes, Chinaā€™s economic leadership views AI as a priority and has boldly claimed it seeks to lead the world by 2030. Yet the rhetoric lacks the eschatological tone common in Silicon Valley. Chinese economic planners appear more interested in AI as a tool for industrial processes than as a means of creating a superintelligence that will reach the singularity. The State Councilā€™s 2025 ā€œAI+ā€ initiative is focused entirely on efficiency-enhancing applications rather than intelligence explosions.There is another important difference. China is banking far more heavily on simpler, lower-cost open-source AI models. In the US, most of the leading ā€œfrontierā€ AI models are secret and proprietary, in part as a business model and in part due to the apocryphal fears that the wrong actors could trigger human extinction. The smaller, lower-cost Chinese models may be seeking, in that sense, to be the more nimble 1970s Toyota rivals to the giant American cars produced by General Motors.More importantly, China is hedging its bets by investing heavily in a wide range of other technologies that might reasonably be described as ā€œthe futureā€. In 2024, the country invested an estimated $940bn in clean-energy capex, broadly defined as renewables, electricity grids and energy storage (batteries), dwarfing its AI investments. In these sectors, AI is meant to be a complement ā€” the glue rather than the structure.While Chinaā€™s overall economy remains weaker than it was in the 2010s, elements of this broader strategy seem to be bearing fruit."https://www.ft.com/content/12581344-6e37-45a0-a9d5-e3d6a9f8d9ba#USA #China #AI #AIHype #AIBubble

    Update for #nvidia #GPU #driver #ports on #FreeBSD to 580.95.05 landed as commit 7b1c88f42c7f4129bc96f405549f9e6b07bd6e3d. https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=7b1c88f42c7f4129bc96f405549f9e6b07bd6e3dWe were pending it as kmod pkg repo still didn't have nvidia things and bapt was looking into it, but as of this information https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5703the commit was done without waiting for the reply from bapt.#FreeBSD is not entitled there, but as #FreeBSD native #drivers are known to shares most source codes with corresponding Linux versions, FreeBSD can be affected, too. So users of non-legacy versions of driver ports are strongly encouraged to upgrade.With this reason, the commit is already merged into 2025Q4, as security fix is one of the branket approval by portmgr and secteam. https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?h=2025Q4&id=067be176997589baacd63c5e5db1981d3949cdb1Note that oldest branch listed is 535.

    PG&E outage for all of Sunnyvale, UPS resources kept the home office and homelab online most of the hours. In the interim via LTE, decided to resume efforts on spec'ing the latest network refresh.Big decisions; mostly around scale model design principles, some blandness re: OFED drivers and SPDK version parity for specific NIC/DPU SKUs, and analysis paralysis when focusing on critical nerdatorium protocol support.Otherwise to say... I'm leaning towards additional Bluefield DPUs, where offload options are more important than bandwidth parity for production port speeds (also lower total port count using 4x25 breakouts), and there's no sense in paying more per unit for a CX6 25G vs BF2 25G... so... yep.#networking #homelab #mellanox #nvidia #dpu #zfs #distributedsystems #ai #hpc

    Found #nvidia Production Branch of drivers 580.95.05 is released. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/254666/Corresponding Linux counterpart is: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/254665/With several hours of using, there seems to be no unknown issues for me, so filed #FreeBSD Bug 289940 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=289940and opened corresponding review D52831 https://reviews.freebsd.org/D52831for this update.TBH, I've prepared update for previous version 580.82.09, but 580.95.05 appeared until I was waiting for commit for splitted out kmod updates, so skipped 580.82.09.
