The market cap of a cryptocurrency — or any commodity, really — is not its market value. If you have all bitcoins in existence and try to sell them you will crash the price to zero. The slope of that price graph — from the current market price to zero — determines how much you make in total. Most cryptocurrency exchanges have public order books, so you can see how much (and at what price per coin) you can actually sell into the market before you eat up all the bids. Last time I checked it was closer to $10bn than $1trn.

There are many cities in the world with more than a single airport at relatively close distance. Just to name the few I've been to recently: New York City, London, Paris, Dubai.

I think it's useful information if it turns out one of these choices has significantly higher cancellation rates.

Am I reading this right: 10x faster and 10x less power, ie. 100x more power efficient?

I wonder how you cool a 3x3cm die that outputs 2.5 kW of heat. In the article they mention that the traditional setup requires water cooling, but surely this does as well, right?

At my company we have a huge backlog where only the top of that iceberg is pulled every iteration to keep customers happy.

If they fired 90% of the engineers assuming a 10x increase in productivity, they might be able to offer their product at half the price. But if they keep all their engineers they'd get 10x the features and could probably charge twice as much for it.

Why "soon"? All your arguments may be correct, but none of them imply when the pending implosion will happen.

I agree, but the only worth candidate I see is the medical industry.

And given that drug development is so expensive because of government-mandated trials, I think it makes sense for the government to also provide a helping hand here — to counterweight the (completely sensible) cost increase due to the drug trial system.

How big is the effort of writing a specification for an application versus implementing the application in the traditional way? Can someone with more knowledge chime in here please?

This sounds strange. I don't think there's anything US-centric about considering an invoice to be a payment request — which makes issuing them after payment nonsensical.

What is the actual volume?

> hbm chips are now emerging as another bottleneck in the development of those models. Both sk Hynix and Micron, an American chipmaker, have already pre-sold most of their hbm production for next year. Both are pouring billions of dollars into expanding capacity, but that will take time. Meanwhile Samsung, which manufactures 35% of the world’s hbm chips, has been plagued by production issues and reportedly plans to cut its output of the chips next year by a tenth.
