Charli XCX’s got crowds around the world dancing in lime green light all through 2024 with her smash album Brat, its subsequent remix album, and the accompanying Brat Tour and Sweat Tour. For her next musical act, the British songstress is making a hard turn toward the avant-garde, spearheading the soundtrack for Emerald Fennell’s upcoming Wuthering Heights adaptation.

“House,” a first taste of the music featured in the film, is out now, and demonstrates how Charli’s involvement in the project was a refreshing challenge for her after Brat. “I read the script and immediately felt inspired so [frequent collaborator] Finn Keane and I began working on not just one but many songs that we felt connected to the world [Fennell] was creating. After being so in the depths of my previous album, I was excited to escape into something entirely new, entirely opposite,” she said.

The song features contributions from an unexpected source: The Velvet Underground’s John Cale. Charli’ found inspiration in Todd Haynes’s 2021 documentary The Velvet Underground and Cale’s approach to making music with the legendary rock band.

“One thing that stuck with me was how John Cale described a key sonic requirement of The Velvet Underground. That any song had to be both ‘elegant and brutal.’ I got really stuck on that phrase,” she said. “When working on music for this film, ‘elegant and brutal was a phrase I kept coming back to.” She later reached out to Cale himself to get his opinion on what she had made. The two ended up collaborating on what became “House.” “We spoke about the idea of a poem. He recorded something and sent it to me. Something that only John could do,” she said. “I feel so lucky to have been able to work with John on this song.”

Cale’s words make up the lion’s share of the haunting track as they each repeat “I think I’m gonna die in this house.”

“I just want to explain / Explain the circumstances / I find myself in / What and who I really am / I’m a prisoner / To live for eternity / I was thinking, ‘What is this place?’ / I thought it would be perfect,” Cale says. “Am I living in another world? / Another world I created / For what? / If it’s beauty / Do you see beauty? / If there’s beauty / Say it’s enough.”

Wuthering Heights is in theaters Feb. 13.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
