Europe has a seemingly infinite amount of coal (same as everyone else), but obviously it's not exactly what anyone really wants (gas and even oil is more climate friendly than coal…

Pure caffeine is dirt cheap to produce at the enormous scale that it is consumed worldwide. Appeal to nature is a logical fallacy. Just get some perfectly fine caffeine if that's w…

Not like earthquakes are unheard of in Taiwan or South Korea either. Buildings are going to be more expensive (base isolation and an extra commie blocks worth of reinforced concret…

Or $150 billion SpaceX? Internet constellations may be mildly profitable, but beyond that, most things are an endless money pit without clear path towards profit anytime soon. Like…

It's not like same parameter count models are identical, so that doesn't appear to be an indicator for quality, or even compute requirements? There seems to be more to producing a …

Well, trying to isolate and bully a country into submission isn't normal. China wants to happily trade with the rest of the world (absolute horror, truly).

>indicates that these devices may potentially Translation: they could do that (just like everything else connected to the internet), but they don't? (hence you never heard of that …

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In a year you can watch a documentary on the mythos of Mythos (that outdated model in case you forgot already).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

>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 sai…

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 G…

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 …

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.

whenever Huawei want to buy billions of dollars worth of US licenses and stuff, they stop being a "national security threat" for a while because reasons

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 bey…
