What is missing even in this article is the install and expected failure rate of the dominant GB300 servers. Numbers I heard were, "~15% annual failure and it's not worth trying to swap/repair". That means in 5 years the

Lot's of ores are just byproducts of the processing of other ores. Like He production is mostly a consequence of natural gas extraction. If you don't extract the high volume profitable (and often environmentally messy) common ore,

Exactly, I bet there's a weight associated with the bag so they need to make it within a kg or so to not get flagged. What do we have that weighs 2 kilos? Hey, grab that thing over there!
