"The Law of Unintended Consequences

It doesn’t take a genius to see how the chips ban would backfire within a year or two, it just takes you reading about the Chinese tech industry, and how large it is, and spending a few days reading the most recent STEM papers, especially physics and mathematics. A large portion of science and scientific breakthroughs are made by Chinese or scientists of Chinese descent, with China leading math in the entire world.

While you can do Machine Learning without having an absurdly deep understanding of mathematics, it is a mathematical field, one that can drastically improve by algorithmic improvements, and efficiency gains from optimization, all derived from…math. If you force resource containment on an adversary, he is bound to get creative… after all, necessity is the mother of all inventions." - @hiddencomplexity
