美國政府禁止 NVIDIA 將高階顯卡輸出到中國與俄羅斯
Hacker News 首頁上看到「US Government Bans Export of Nvidia A100 and H100 GPUs to China and Russia (sec.gov)」這篇，是 NVIDIA 發出了 Form 8-K，說明美國政府禁止 A100 與 H100 或是更高階 (更快) 的卡以及產品輸出到中國 (包括香港) 與俄羅斯：「nvda-20220826.htm」。
先是指出 A100、H100 以及 A100X (Ampere) 被管制：
On August 26, 2022, the U.S. government, or USG, informed NVIDIA Corporation, or the Company, that the USG has imposed a new license requirement, effective immediately, for any future export to China (including Hong Kong) and Russia of the Company’s A100 and forthcoming H100 integrated circuits. DGX or any other systems which incorporate A100 or H100 integrated circuits and the A100X are also covered by the new license requirement.
另外是禁止新產品的部份，效能與 A100 相等或是更好的卡也被禁止輸出，除非有取得授權：
The license requirement also includes any future NVIDIA integrated circuit achieving both peak performance and chip-to-chip I/O performance equal to or greater than thresholds that are roughly equivalent to the A100, as well as any system that includes those circuits.
然後有提到軍事相關考量：
A license is required to export technology to support or develop covered products. The USG indicated that the new license requirement will address the risk that the covered products may be used in, or diverted to, a ‘military end use’ or ‘military end user’ in China and Russia. The Company does not sell products to customers in Russia.
有看到一些報導指出 AMD 也有收到類似的禁令 (畢竟也是個顯卡大廠)，但在「SEC Filings」這邊沒看到...

白宮宣佈由政府資助的研究，都必須馬上公開
一樣是 Hacker News 上看到的：「Guidance to make federally funded research freely available without delay (whitehouse.gov)」，白宮的公告在「OSTP Issues Guidance to Make Federally Funded Research Freely Available Without Delay」這邊。 開頭有重點，不得限制以及收費。所以 paywall 是一定不行，另外要註冊才能看也算是一種限制，應該也會被這次的政策要求改善： In a memorandum to federal departments and agencies, Dr. Alondra Nelson, the head of OSTP, delivered guidance for agencies to update their…

hashcat v3.00
hashcat 是個用暴力法拿來計算各種 reverse hash 的的工具，也就是對於 HASH(key) = value 時，給 value 的值，要求得出 key 的值 (被稱為 Preimage attack)。 雖然是暴力法，但還是花了很多力氣加速，尤其在這個 GPU 已經很常見的年代，這套軟體也支援透過 GPU 加速運算。 先前的版本是 CPU 與 GPU 分開兩個版本可以用 (CPU 版本的叫 hashcat，GPU 版本的叫做 oclHashcat)，而 GPU 的版本只支援 nVidia 與 AMD 兩家大廠的顯卡。 而在 v3.00 版，透過 OpenCL 的界面將這些全部都合而為一了：「hashcat v3.00」，所以不只是支援 CPU 與 nVidia + AMD 的 GPU，還包括了：…
