Things like this don’t happen overnight, just like the decline of empires doesn’t happen overnight. Have you heard of the Portuguese real? Or the Spanish real? Maybe the Dutch guilder? They were all global reserve currencies in the past. If

Sorry, but this is yet another out of touch fantasy that shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how international politics and state recognition work. Buying an island and building a mega science facility like "CERN 2.0" doesn’t

That's not an argument made in good faith. You call the collapse of the USSR into Russia a "new country"? How many of these so called "new" countries are just single billionaires annexing some island they bought and

While that's true for some open source models, I find DeepSeek R1 685B 0528 to be competitive with O3 in my production tests, I've been using it interchangeably for tasks I used to handle with Opus or O3.

US carries a big share of the biomedical load, NIH runs ~$48–50B/yr and the US is the launch market for 2/3 of new‑drug sales, which makes it the main revenue engine, but calling Europe a freeloader skips a lot of facts. The EU’s

Buy 4–8 used 3090s (providing 96–192 GB of VRAM), depending on the model and weight quantization you want to run. Used 3090 costs around $800. Add more RAM to offload layers if needed. This setup currently offers the best value for performa

So, it's more of an engineering problem than a physical one? I read somewhere a while ago about strange quantum effects activating at these scales too. What's the current state beyond 1.4 nm with our current knowledge?
