Canadian news might've been easier to replace with American news outlets due to the deep ties between the two and the shared language. I doubt this would be the case for Italian news.
I am very skeptical of the argument that companies are competing with each other on market share. There is arguably a lot more competition between AI companies than in most of the sectors of our economy.
I have been using it to learn Chinese along with other standard resources. My reading comprehension has improved a lot after I started to use LLMs to understand sentence structures and grammar.
Data centers can run on closed loop cooling systems which doesn't need continuous water supply. Only bottleneck is Energy supply which the MEA area doesn't lack.
Thanks for correction. I looked up the news and could find reporting that some fragments of a missile did hit kindergarten. Thankfully no kids were there.
The fact that percentage of older population increased is a dead giveaway that most young people are migrating (to US most likely) and more akin to exodus.
A very similar pattern to Venezuela which saw a similar exodus.
I'd also add that it is easy to underestimate the water usage.
Desalination could be viable if it was only for subsistence/drinking. But water use is extensive in every single product/service we use and thing we cconsume. Cost of water going up across the board will have effects that shouldn't be underestimated.
This is real. I work at one of the big tech and have access to their internal head count breakdowns. The overall headcount is mostly stagnant but the US headcount is decreasing with a corresponding increase in Europe and mostly India based HC.
My first thought was that the sanctions are due to investigations into US presidents (like role of Bush in Second Gulf War or Obama/Clinton's role in Libyan Civil war) but it is due to Israel's PM. It's amazing how US admin is making their displeasure known in most destructive way (for their own and allies soft power) possible.
> Hypothetical scenario: we have 100 houses, and 200 young families looking for one. Your solution in effect is: let's give 100 houses to the 100 young people with an inheritance
This assumes that each family only gets a single house. With enough wealth you can buy out all the houses (not considering other factors)
Where do you think the money that is accrued by the most wealthy will be spent/invested/parked? What will its effects be on the broader economy?
Assuming that the money is all used for altruistic purpose, I could agree with your point. But we know that this money is often used for not so altruistic purposes like investing in PE which asset strip the productive parts of economy or use the money to influence politics and elected representatives via lobbying.
> Poolside partnered with CoreWeave to build one of the largest data centres
Nvidia has a backstop deal with Coreweave [1]. I am sure this is all above board but seeing how these giants all have incestuous relationship with each other makes me uneasy about putting money in the markets.
