Nvidia earnings beat Wall Street’s sky-high expectations, but the stock is falling because ‘there were no H20 sales to China-based customers’
Nvidia recorded no China sales revenue for H20 chips and reported revenue that narrowly beat Wall Street targets in the second quarter, as the AI chipmaker reported financial results on Wednesday.Nvidia has been navigating trade restrictions on H20 shipments to China since April. The U.S. government began issuing licenses for approved buyers in China in July, and Nvidia said a few of its China-based customers had received such licenses. But no H20 chip revenue to China was included in its second-quarter revenue, Nvidia said (It noted that some H20 chip inventory was sold outside of China in the second quarter, adding a $180 million benefit to the topline).
Nvidia said it was not including H20 in its financial forecast for the current quarter, though it estimated that $2 billion to $5 billion worth of H20 chips could be shipped to China if “geopolitical” issues were resolved. The company also repeated its call for the U.S. government to allow it to sell its more advanced “Blackwell” generation of products to China.

China’s Domestic x86 CPU, the Zhaoxin KX-7000, Debuts in an AI PC by MAXHUB, Positioning It as a Viable Alternative to Intel/AMD Options
Archived ver.: web.archive.org/web/2025082810…Original source, including in-depth tests and other fancy details of the CPU used in the MAXHUB PC itself (written in Mandarin): news.mydrivers.com/1/1070/1070…
CPU-Z Single-Core Benchmark and specs from the original source:
That's an 8-core, ~3GHz Base Speed, 32MB L3 cache CPU for the number-crunchers around here.
On the surface, this CPU seems like it's best suited for general desktop and office use, to see it adopted to a PC build product geared for "AI workloads" is interesting. If I'm not mistaken, AI performance is heavily dependent on the GPU rather than on the CPU, so I think that's fine:
In terms of performance, the MAXHUB's AI+ desktop computer is claimed to play 1080P 30fps and 4K 30fps high-bitrate online videos with decent CPU utilization numbers, showing that the KX-7000 CPU acts decently with media workload. Of course, when compared against competitors like Intel or AMD, Zhaoxin is behind, but the key motive here to create an ecosystem that relies entirely on in-house products, and this has apparently happened here.And that's a good thing, lol.

Gavin Newsom tops Kamala Harris in 2028 presidential poll of California Democrats
In a battle between two Californians considering Democratic runs for president in 2028, Gov. Gavin Newsom holds a slight edge over former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a new poll.
The poll, conducted by Politico and The Citrin Center public opinion firm, found Newsom is the top choice of 25% of California's Democratic voters in the 2028 Democratic primary, leading all prospective candidates including Harris, the 2024 Democratic nominee, who is supported by 19% of the state's Democrats.
The two high-profile Californians are followed in the poll by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (13%), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (10%), Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (4%) and New Jersey U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (4%).

‘It’s a warning, set to a dance beat’: Jon Batiste on his new song urging climate action 20 years after Katrina
The global music star, whose home town of New Orleans was devastated by the hurricane in 2005, says ‘people power’ can change the worldMark Hertsgaard (The Guardian)
We can only wish that some people can get what he's trying to convey with his song.
However we had a band here that made a song about climate change 18 years ago and people just sing along without much more action. They also made popular songs about inequalities and social issues. Some of the songs became very popular and were played repeatedly in the media. The band is supposedly a big part of our culture.
But after all those years, it's just that. Songs. They are sad pieces of warning, and people just treat them like anything else; a commodity to be used, and eventually replaced by a newer thing.

chiavina terminifera che non fa più uai fai (Netvip chiavetta WiFi morta a caso)
Poco fa era appena tarda mattina e, come si suol dire, se non bestemmio guarda… la giornata non comincia in maniera ufficiale. A quanto pare, la chiavettina WiFi che in questi ultimi giorni stavo usando temporaneamente sul PC fisso ha deciso di morire per sempre stamattina, o qualcosa del genere, semplicemente dal nulla (e quando mai le mie cose si rompono con cognizione di causa…), quindi eccomi a lamentarmene inutilmente. 😾
È una chiavetta merdosissima che comprai quando assemblai il PC fisso (nell’era del gran Covid!!!), perché mettere una scheda WiFi interna avrebbe significato avere una ricezione terribile (oltre al fatto che, se ricordo bene, avrei dovuto spendere di più; lasciamo stare il fatto che, col senno di poi, a furia della tirchiaggine sono finita per spendere ancora di più per vari prodotti schifosi), mentre la chiavetta potevo portarla in un punto buono usando una prolunga… Fatto sta che è sempre stata merda fumante, relativamente instabile su Windows e completamente instabile su Linux, e quindi alla fine dovetti comprare il bridge Ethernet TP-Link che ancora adesso uso, anche se pure quello a modo suo è terrificante. 😩Beh, in questi giorni stavamo facendo lavori in casa, quindi per un paio di giorni mi sono dovuta spostare col PC fisso in un’altra stanza e, per comodità, ho riesumato quella chiavetta… Che, in realtà, su Windows e a distanza più ravvicinata col router, funzionava pure quasi bene, superando addirittura i 200 mbps in upload e download (che è ben più di quanto il TP-Link sciordiaco fa in camera mia)… pur se ho dovuto sclerarci un quarto d’ora buono, perché (col driver automatico di Windows) per qualche motivo non riusciva a mantenere la connessione con il router configurando la rete normalmente… ma appena ho usato un IP statico al posto del DHCP ha deciso di collaborare… 🥱
Ribadisco che è talmente sgocciolante questo affare che, collegato direttamente alle porte posteriori del PC, dato quanto è minuscolo, prende così tanta interferenza (probabilmente dagli altri dispositivi USB collegati, maremma maiala!) che in tale modo nella stessa stanza farebbe non più di qualche megabit al secondo, e facendo cadere una quantità imbarazzante di pacchetti… Ma comunque, una volta ritrasferitami nella mia stanza l’altro ieri, sul momento non sapevo se poi dovessi spostarmi di nuovo, quindi non ho voluto ricollegarmi subito al TP-Link, mentre ieri mi è passato di mente (nonostante nella mia stanza senza prolunga la chiavetta faccia non più di 20 mbps, maremma cara, ma non dovevo scaricare niente ieri)… e quindi, così si arriva ad oggi. 🙄
Ho acceso il PC prima, e, dopo aver notato di non avere Internet, ho notato che la chiavetta non stava lampeggiando. Non voglio prolungare la miseria più del dovuto a questo punto, quindi, detto in breve: la scollego e ricollego svariate volte, provando tutte le porte libere, inserendola più piano o più veloce, con diversi angoli (visto che si ruppe il pezzo di metallo di sopra dell’USB, quindi ci può pure stare che non faccia subito contatto bene, visto che balla un po’), ma non succede assolutamente niente! Ogni tanto (nemmeno sempre…) esce un messaggio di “dispositivo USB non riconosciuto” di Windows, e basta… e nel frattempo noto che, al tatto, la chiavina diventa sempre caldissima a stare collegata così, nonostante appunto non stia lavorando. 😭
Provo pure qualche altra volta, con in mezzo anche una procorta (una prolunga corta; si, la possiedo, anche se non è USB 3.0), smuovo un po’ la schedina unica minuscola che compone effettivamente l’aggeggio, e niente… se non che ora ogni tanto esce pure un altro messaggio su Windows, “power surge on the USB port“, che semplicemente significa “c’è un cortocircuito”!!! Quindi, ormai, mi sa proprio che è morta oltre ogni ragionevole dubbio… e oh, menomale che lo ha fatto stamattina e non prima. Però certo che ci vuole un coraggio per mettere sul mercato un accessorio così fottutamente fumante (non letteralmente, per fortuna, ci mancava solo che prendesse fuoco…) e chiamarlo “Netvip“… se questo coso è da VIP, allora io sono la dittatrice dell’universo… 🌋

Optimizing Database Resilience and Cost: A Deep Dive into SkySQL’s Unique Features
Open-source databases like MariaDB, MySQL, and Postgres are established powerhouses. They boast rich features and their SQL dialects are fluent to developers, backed by a robust ecosystem of tools. However, the cloud changes the game. Operational characteristics now reign supreme: seamless scaling, rock solid security, effortless migration and replication, guaranteed uptime, and most importantly, delivering on the cloud’s cost-saving potential.
It is a common misconception that cloud database management and optimization is a solved problem. In reality, databases are still notoriously difficult to operate efficiently and cost effectively. Many of our customers and prospects have shared experiences of prolonged outages, challenges in achieving consistent performance at scale, and unsustainable costs associated with alternative cloud database services.
In this blog, we’ll delve into how SkySQL tackles these challenges.

CDC erupts in chaos after ousted chief Susan Monarez refuses to resign
Lawyers for Monarez say she was ‘targeted’ for ‘protecting the public’ by not endorsing ‘unscientific’ orders
The US’s top public health agency was plunged into chaos on Wednesday after the Trump administration moved to oust its leader Susan Monarez, sworn in less than a month ago, as her lawyers said she would not resign and that she was being “targeted” for her pro-science stance.
Monarez, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), was ousted on Wednesday evening, according to a statement from Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that offered no explanation its decision.
“Susan Monarez is no longer director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We thank her for her dedicated service to the American people,” HHS said in an unsigned statement posted to social media. Her lawyers pushed back in a statement, saying she had “neither resigned nor received notification” from the White House of her termination.
