Coffee Doesn’t Actually Stress You Out
Your daily coffee might be doing more than waking you up. A new study published in Nature Communications found that regular coffee consumption may positively affect the link between digestion, mood, and cognition. Researchers also found no major change in physiological stress markers like cortisol linked to coffee consumption, suggesting coffee may not actually increase…

While some topics are explained very good, I believe some basic questions explained poorly. Kind of assumed people have pre knowledge about topics. For example when cpu and gpu differences explained, I would expect an explanation that covers many parallel calculations vs cpu is more generic etc. There are more examples like this.

Its a catch 22 where they trade resources or stock for product and vice versa. That inflates the stock prices of both and if and when the bubble pops itll burst prices of everything to realistic levels

To be clear: The transistors and what not are so small, SO INCREDIBLY small, that they had to CREATE A SPECIAL TYPE OF LIGHT in order to have a wavelength small enough to etch the tiny little etchings that we need for these chips. Dear god man.

Yup. “Extreme ultra-violet” is basically a misnomer: its so extreme that it’s almost X-rays. Bonkers.

A special kind of light source maybe. They did not create light that was not known already.

Lmao AI isn’t being used to “make people more productive.” The average worker is more productive than anymore before. AI is being used to replace people in the pursuit of the billionaires’ greed.

Friendly reminder that al data centers often use up about if not more water and electricity than the surrounding towns to the point of towns people being forced to use low pressure water. Thats right if a data centers opens up near you you may be reduced to sponge baths along with air and noise pollution that damage your body.

11:14 I dont feel like he answered the question. Everyone is aware current technology relies on silicon, that wasnt what the question asked. Is there another alternative to silicon? Is there a particular reason we NEED silicon? How viable would alternatives like other semiconductors be if we were hypothetically forced to switch within the next X years? What is the reason silicon is better than other alternatives, and in what way would we be impeded if we didnt use silicon?

Corporations and Wall Street have only ever had the bottom line in mind. That will not change. The cost of human labor has always been a target for cost reduction programs. Corporations have scraped away at the labor force every way they know how in order to reduce that cost, with the exception of the most talented labor. AI will enable them to scrape more and more. They will target every job they can.
