Its not crypto that is cause of crash, it is non ai economy getting starved for usa , fuck yeah, last gasp.

This concept was started 3-5 years ago, when retail batteries where $500/kwh. They are now under $100/kwh. Concept is worthwhile for diversification of resources and talent.

how does he afford to get a ticket to go to epstein island?

Epstein was a Mossad agent offering “honey pots” for kompromat and rule over the US/west. “You’re a super interesting guy. I’m having a supermodel orgy in Bahamas with lots of other famous people. I can fly by and pick you up”… you’re not doing anything wrong by saying yes.

It’s by choice. Samsung did announce recently that they are going back to consumer ram production instead of trying to compete for low margin big contracts on current gen hbm. At half of current prices, ddr5 is more profitable than HBM even for hynix (leader).

was a decent post. A lot of time went into developing it, and @[email protected] 's link isn’t fluff, and better background of the project.

IMO, the pricing is an extortion scam rather than a real shortage. People are falling for it because of AI hype narrative. Best to wait it out.

Not on Alibaba today. Even if they need to bin many at slower speed, it could help with memory market. Needs actual production instead of press releases.

… and senate voted to force datacenters on everyone today

Were running out of time for UBI. The powerful will prefer genociding the slave class rather than redistribute power.

There’s big advantages to no precedence rules. You don’t have to remember them all. Haskell/SML family create nightmares from trying to have user defined operators with precedence “value” of 0-10. Operators are extremely powerful syntax simplification, but precedence rules makes them too hard to mentally parse.

low exaggeration, imo.

This is mostly an excuse for extortion right now, making people FOMO for ram instead of Luigi’ing the industry execs. If the AI FOMO demand actually materializes, the next generation cards will actually be far more expensive per flop/gb than older ones. NVIDIA wouldn’t be begging to sell chips to China instead of Americans/colonies, if there was demand.

It’s all too crazy, but those who FOMO will lose out. AI/LLMs will continue improving, but waiting for oversupply is the right play.

China has made massive breakthroughs. In chips, SMIC/Huawei are advancing impressively in terms of products, but it is unclear how good yields/costs are, even if they are shipping commercial products.

Still, this PR does give hints that this is Garage hacked EUV with cannibalized parts they cannot make yet, and 4 year time scale is far out enough. There was PR of EUV breakthrough this spring too, and don’t recall if this claim is additional advancement over that.

they’ll just blow their chip fabs

The US has said they will blow them up “for them”. TSMC is supportive of US puppetted militarist fascism in Taiwan, but has backfired a bit from Trump. Tarriffs on Taiwan, and more restrictions on Chinese operations. TSMC definitely wants to avoid war even if it likes politicians that hype up weapons gifts, but also independently subsidizes it.

War is going to depend on US dictated decoupling, that black market can’t get around. The fascists will have a hard time trusting US backing for the island, as Trump has been softer on China than Taiwan so far this year.

Some programming languages do away with operator precedence for a big parsing speed boost. J/APL and stack languages are “best known”. in J, right to left parsing,

16 = 4 * 2 + 2

An interesting question is which of these 2 numbers is most important. The PPP income measurements could be flawed if the poorest half of Chinese have been able to accumulate double the wealth as poorest half of Americans.

Even if “attitudes towards savings” are different/a factor, being able to survive while hoping for the upward mobility that savings/wealth provides is more likely than not, a sign that poorer half of Chinese are better off than poorer half of Americans, despite the standard measures of PPP income.

Thank you for correction and other links. China with over 4x the population, has higher PPP GDP, but I misspoke about per capita GDP.

Interesting graphs. China does have a lot of very poor provinces, even if high number out of official poverty levels. PPP income per capita is much higher in China than US and growing significantly.

glycophosate

is that supposed to be glycophosphate? If not what is that?

edit: nvm… I may have been saying it wrong all these years.

whatever price problem there is with some kinds of parts, it will be the same whether they’re sold as lose parts or as part of a device.

didn’t actually read the article, but the Micron/Crucial announcement was about leaving the DIY direct market, as opposed to not keeping supply deals with OEMs. Though new contracts with them will be higher.

it becomes too big to fail because 80% of the workforce is tied up in it

In 2008, banking sector and auto industry needed bailouts for the investor/financial class. Certainly, there was no need to layoff core banking employees, if government support was the last resort to keep the doors open AND gain controlling stake over future banking profitablity in a hopefully sustainable (low risk in addition to low climate/global destruction) fashion. The auto bailout did have harsher terms than the banking bailout, and recessions definitely harm the sector, but the bailouts were definitely focused on the executives/shareholders who have access to political friendships that result in gifts instead of truly needed lifelines, or wider redistribution of benefits from sustainable business.

The point, is that workforce is a “talking point” with no actual relevance in bailouts/too big to fail. That entire stock market wealth is concentrated in the sector, and that we have to all give them the rest of our money (and militarist backed surveillance freedom) or “China will win” at the only sector we pretend to have a competitive chance in, is why our establishment needs another “too big to fail moment”. We’ve started QE ahead of the crash this time.

Work force is relatively small in AI sector. Big construction, but relatively low operations employment. It displaces other hiring too.

The question is whether government/people should get $60/barrel revenue before expenses, maybe $40/barrel after expenses, or $10/barrel but pump 5-10x as much, bribed to be loyal to US. Long term, obviously no corruption and high revenue/profit per barrel has its advantages. It’s not as though Exxon/Chevron can’t get access to Venezuela oil with fair deals, it’s that pretending corrupt puppets are the legitimate leaders provides extortion oil costs.

When you understand the hoops the US government is willing to jump through to get cheap foreign oil, you should understand that similar policies are used to deprive Americans of their fair share of resource revenue.
