On a historical basis, computer memory has been falling at an exponential rate for decades. But we just undid about 20 years of progress.

RAM on a per unit basis is about as expensive as it was in 2007.

To my knowledge, it is an historical anomaly. I cannot recall a similar precedent.

I do not think anyone can predict what will happen, but I am guessing that we either find a way to build AI systems without so much memory, or we find really clever ways to make much more memory much faster.

Elon Musk:

« "The memory output is increasing by around 20% per year. Now, normally, that would be fantastically fast and amazing for any large mature industry, but ask yourself. Is the demand increasing by 20% a year? No, the demand is increasing by 200% a year, maybe higher," Musk said in a SpaceX earnings call late on Tuesday. »

@Starlink It is high speed and high latency 😌
According to the Starlink availability map, hope latency will get improve

Uncaptured sunlight is the biggest waste of energy on Earth by multiple orders of magnitude.

Most of the 173,000 terawatts we get from the Sun strikes no leaf, no eye, no living thing.

Capturing just 1% of that sunlight would 100x humanity’s energy supply.

"Online revenue license service for vehicles" is down.
When I call 1919, they said service is not available now and it is only available after 3.30pm. Reason is "There is a heavy load to system so they decided to make it available after 3.30pm each day"

What a management
