The 5 wage slaves on current ocean giants aren't even a rounding error on any calculation.

A million Americans chose death from very effective (preventable) disease instead. That's how.

In a year you can watch a documentary on the mythos of Mythos (that outdated model in case you forgot already).

What for? You only need to match the performance that existed in the 1950s. In the Soviet Union. Everything else is a lack of knowledge rather than computing power.

Also you should read the second sentence of the CTBT Wikipedia article to find out why it's not even in force (spoiler: US hasn't ratified it).

Those are fairly cheap, hyperscalers have been building more or less their own cables for many years, they cost practically nothing compared to the data centers themselves.

>Add to that the long backorder list for gas turbines right now

If demand > supply then the price goes up. Doesn't mean you can't buy something though.

What you need then is a better arm (or even just hand), not a human.

Or a new take on car design with automated production in mind regarding all the wiring and what not (easier said than done, I'm sure many have tried and failed, but eventually someone will succeed).

Most nuclear power plants worldwide are owned and operated by private companies rather than governments?

If anything, nuclear tends to be much more strictly regulated than the 73 GW (wtf) of off-grid mostly gas plants to power datacenters for example.

Well, it's a million signatures for something to be brought up, not for something to definitely become law.

A decade or so ago I (among millions) signed to abolish daylight saving time. Still waiting for that heh.

The filter updates without extension updates is possible in MV3 now too.

Meet the new memory cartel, it's just like the old memory cartel but with CXMT being priced a tiny tad below.

Safe to say they're not in it out of sheer altruism.

The same 3rd party datacenters from the same few companies that everything else runs on? If there's demand, hyperscalers will supply.

I want to believe it (and filter all that crap), but YT recently removing the sort by new/date option because 99% of results being useless AI slop doesn't inspire much trust.

Hetzner is still running and selling Haswell Xeons and GTX-1080s that are 10+ years old.

Definitely not silicon waste the second something faster arrives. There's still a world beyond cutting edge LLM slop after all.

The most honest memory cartel is reporting stupid profit numbers too!

>Samsung chip profit jumps almost 50-fold; supply shortage to worsen in 2027

https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/sustainable-finance-r...

>South Korean April exports rise 48.0% y/y as chip boom extends

https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/south-korea-april...

To the point where the big memory makers are suddenly trillion AI-dollar companies.

and desalination is so efficient/cheap at scale already that it barely affects water prices in those countries (less than 10% already, further shrinking every year as methods improve)

Before LEO internet constellations, even the leading nations had just ~20-25 launches per year each, and a good chunk of those were for ISS services.

Other than the occasional GNSS, weather, scientific, broadcast and surveillance satellite, there's not all that much worth sending into space.

Humidity and corrosion, it's a trade-off (pick your poison).
