But foreign currency exchanges aren't being used for these scams because they have procedures and practices in place that prevent their being used for illicit money laundering rather than encouraging it. Facilitating crime and taking a percentage without legal risk is key to the business...

I've been imagining this since I first learned about lasers.

Clearly the AI marketing guy was on vacation when they worked on this.

Toms could afford to ask for us though!

Future "braintrust " of the world moving to some of the most restrictive and least free nations in the world. Not a good sign. And probably not an accident.

These deserve to be tested. A pipe to direct the waste air out the back of the case seems like a logical attachment.

What will they be able to do when they triple pattern the High EUV ?

Tom's review with video would be great content.

Probably driven by needs to adjust pay further down the scale where people actually need their salaries.

AMD likely has to keep the same chipset longer for their board partners because of the much lower overall volume. Not trying to cater to the small CPU upgrade crowd which is quite small. Also reduces their in-house development load. OTOH the debut of the X3d chips probably did provide the...

Compare the Sat view of the xAI facility with the local utilities' power plant just north along the river. The difference in environmental impact can be seen from space !
