    Because you'd need to trash the old GPUs in order to make room for new GPUs. Right now new GPUs get online mostly in new DCs. TSMC fab capacity is much more limiting than DC buildi…

    It's quite possible other carriers would have gone around the worst and that the economy airline saved fuel.

    Step 2, put the needle on a gantry (I suspect you'd need more like 5D CNC to enter the pore with the right angle) and seek and destroy hairs... As it is it saves money but not time…

    The miners are the middlemen, and they can chose to take your transaction or not. Should bitcoin ever be actually used for payment, it's not to too far fetched to think miners coul…

    Actually, Ingas the company very much survived and moved to the Odesa region ( https://ingas.ua/en/pro-nas/ ). And they still have Neon in their catalog so most likely another case…

    The general point is not. Iceland and Easter Island were fully deforested way before the industrial age. Countless species went extinct in Britain and more examples abound.

    Yeah and some of the figures often quoted like consuming 14% of the electricity produced in the US are wrong, it was below 1%. https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2011APS..APRH13004R…

    Yeah that's treating D-Wave "breaking" RSA-2048 as the fraud that it is. They didn't factor anything, they computed a square root. I'm still dubious about the accelerated timeline …
