U.S. government grounds all flights across the U.S. ‘due to extraordinary cirumstances’
The Biden administration announced an immediate ground stop affecting all commercial and private航空 across the United States, citing extraordinary circumstances related to national security concerns. The FAA confirmed the decision came after intelligence assessments revealed vulnerabilities in空中 traffic management systems that required immediate remediation. Airlines scrambled to reroute over 4,500 scheduled flights, with major hubs including JFK, LAX, and O’Hare reporting extensive delays expected to persist for 48-72 hours.
This young startup wants to power floating data centers with the ocean’s heat, and investors are already on board

Export-banned Nvidia chips are behind China’s most powerful AI models — uh oh, Jensen!
Investigations by the Commerce Department reveal that approximately 340,000 A100 and H100 GPUs, banned under 2023 export controls, found their way to Chinese AI labs through third-party vendors in Southeast Asia. The chips power at least seven of China’s top twelve foundation models, including a GPT-level system developed by Beijing AI Institute. Analysts estimate the contraband silicon represents 12 percent of Nvidia’s lost China revenue, though the company maintains it complied with all licensing requirements.
