until AI bubble pops, you will not be able to buy one unless your name is John Hyperscaler and ask for at least a thousand at the same time and even then a single one will cost you, my guess, at least 10k USD.
The worst of it all is that this is a run just to guarantee supply in case the manufacturers cannot meet demand, the "quote 10, to order 5 to receive 2" that we saw during the pandemic, and because the manufacturers know this is the case, they are making zero effort to expand the production capacity because they know that when the new factory capacity becomes available all this craziness will likely have passed and they will have no costumers to pay for the products no matter what the contracts say, because bankrupt costumers cannot pay you.

I'm really hopping that this bubble pops soon, the longer it takes the crazier this will get and the bigger the fall will be (and consequences).

impressive that they've managed to not mention the X-Ray frequency because they probably think people would not understand petahertz but toss around attosecond like it is an everyday word and everybody knows how short it is

It is not like south korea is major manufacturer of storage devices, right?
Samsung probably could find 1PB of flash memory lost between their offices cushions...
And the justification that 1PB of data was too big to back-up is completely absurd, these days this amount of data is not even that much, there are people if more than that in their servers at home, let alone a datacenter, for crying out loud, there are systems with more RAM than this in a single pod.

just pump in CO2, helps keep the pressure up, would be a carbon sink and you get fizzy drink water for free, just add some cola and a bunch of sugar

maybe the researcher has nothing to do if it, not even the research, it used AI to do the paper and it told the reviewer AI to mod it up, if you think about it the researcher is the real victim here

no money in that, but the day they sell this as potential form to dick enlargement, watch out nvidia, you will be the second largest company in the world in no time.

From the article the worst thing is lunch time meetings, I can do 8pm meetings occasionally, and even done 10pm weekly when working with asian clients, but the amount of lunch time meetings in that graph is just obscene and a very american thing, I don't think anywhere else in the world people do that, we need down time during lunch to eat properly and have some rest or even, gasp, socialize a little.
To me lunch time meetings are just unacceptable, even when working from home.

Using corn to make ethanol is borderline stupid, it has lower yields and higher costs and more directly displaces food production, sugarcane is a much better crop for this purpose but is hard to grow in the US.

This table you pointed to refers to mining not enrichment, which is what the article refers, the link below show a breakdown of enrichment by country and russia is about 40% with US being only 11%. I recall sometime back reading that 1/3 of the fuel the US uses in its plants today come from russia.

That is interesting, what holds you from immigrating now? only job offers/opportunities or some other factor?
Living in the Philippines would also have the advantage of being much cheaper, at least today, who knows in 25 years, but would likely still be cheaper to live there and occasionally visit Japan than living in Japan.

First I didn't say anything about poor, the point is young couples or couples with young kids, poor or not that is what they need right now, and moving and settling in would expensive no matter who you are, so money incentive would help.
Second, being poor doesn't mean they would stay poor, it is very common for immigrants to a new country to arrive with little money and build a good life by working a lot.

It will be better than episode IX

The country should be more open and actively incentivize immigration, clearly the Japanese population is not interested in reproducing anymore, which is causing the demographic bomb where the old people will not have an income source of anyone to take care of them, no matter how many robots they build, so be more welcome to young outsiders, specially young couples and families with young kids, give them language courses, cultural adaptation lessons and some money to sweeten the deal, that will help, just don't make the mistake of bringing young single men, that will be worse in every way.

This is a failure of transmission structure, they allow buildup of a bunch of energy production but do not provide the transmission infrastructure to export it properly, this happens a lot unfortunately.

Wendover just released a video about southwest and why they are failing, basically they were doing well until the pandemic then an active investor jumped in and is actively trying to destroy the brand for a quick buck.
