Lol. Lmao.
In the funniest timeline, the US nationalizes Nvidia to delay China from making chips that work well with LLM's... by a year tops.
Link to original Fortune article the PC Gamer article pulled from, with this juicy relevant quote:
To do that, Raimondo said the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security, which manages export controls for the US, needs more funding from Congress.
“I have a $200 million budget. That’s like the cost of a few fighter jets. Come on,” she said. “If we’re serious, let’s go fund this operation like it needs to be funded.”
Googled a bit but I have no idea how they're generating EUV from a particle accelerator. It supposedly "captures the energy emitted by high-energy particles during acceleration", but again, I have no idea how that would work. Are they just phrasing "and then it was slammed into a target" in a weird way?
Here are a few papers on the subject in chronological order:
Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) sources for lithography based on synchrotron radiation (2001) - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0168900201008877

Thank you, will give these a read later!
