Fascinating that High Performance Computers had export controls in the 90s as dual use technology but little restraint until recently.<p>How would we apply this today? Instead of MTOPS use TFLOPS FP16?

I have one of those sitting in my basement collecting dust. I think I paid around $1200 for it. It was by far the worst new Apple computer I&#x27;ve ever bought and the quickest to be obsoleted.
