Costs are rising by ~50% every cycle give or take. Exponential growth is exponential growth. They'll exceed the GDP of the United States in a few cycles. The question becomes, when costs hit the ceiling that Apple is willing to pay, wi

Much appreciated. In your research area, is there a significant textbook or summary paper you would recommend that summarises current findings well? What would you recommend to a complete amateur orienting themselves?
