I'd have to ask colleagues for the exact number, but the CERN Tape Archive has around 1EB of data. Interesting to know that that's not even 1% of the annual shipping of tape. That's indeed a lot of data.

#Tape is so dead, 152.9 exabytes worth of #LTO media shipped last year

ASML is rumored to have rented office space in Kaohsiung, Taiwan to support TSMC, which will begin installing equipment at a 2nm fab there by end-2024, and start ramping up to mass production in 2025, media report. ASML operates at 4 locations in Taiwan, including engineering

Just to put things in context:

Hardware typically lasts several years

Wetware, on the other hand: Initially, the firm’s MEAs would only last a few hours, but refinements to the system mean an organoid lifespan is currently expected to be around 100 days

Wetware: A Swiss biocomputing startup has launched an online platform that provides remote access to 16 human brain organoids

FinalSpark says its Neuroplatform is capable of learning and processing information, has extremely low power consumption

TSMC plans to build 7 factories this year, including 3 wafer fabs and 2 packaging plants in Taiwan, and 2 fabs overseas to meet fast-growing demand for high performance computing (HPC, which includes AI) and smartphones, media report, citing the head of Fab18 in Tainan, Taiwan,

Bloomberg's take on the PC market might also apply to servers

'As AMD’s slow and steady gains over an extended period show, it’s not easy to take on Intel — even with superior products. The problem any competitor has is Intel’s dominance of the ecosystem.'

Nice article in Financial Time where I explain that Auto-Regressive LLM are insufficient to reach human-level intelligence (or even cat-level intelligence).

But alternative architectures that I call 'objective driven' may reach human-level intelligence one day.
