When I was into overclocking, in order for it to run fast, we had to run it cold. Liquid Nitrogen cold. But going beyond to Liquid Helium temperatures, a superconducting chip could potentially run at near zero energy. That's what @SnowcapCompute is doing youtube.com/watch?v=urjzD4Vm…

I should have posted months ago given the hype, but here's my 65min deepdive into @substrate's claim to re-energize USA litho with an x-ray tool, supplanting @ASMLcompany as the kingmaker. It'll cost a trillion dollars, but the economics need to work. youtu.be/z_r5Bsn_DH4

Can't believe it's been two years since I visited @intel's High-NA machine in Oregon. FWIW, I'm interviewing @ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet later this week on stage at @hellotmrc in Amsterdam. Should be fun

Were they able to wear them all in the correct location, or were a few in the wrong location because how do you wear that many watches? Also, it's only one journo over one night. Statistically insignificant. This isn't my issue with sleep monitoring. My issue is that I can have a great night of sleep, only for my monitor to tell me it 'scored 40/100' and that makes me feel like crap for the day. Or I have a bad night sleep and it scores me '82/100' and I don't trust it. Sometimes you can have too much data. In 2026, all I do is sleep. No monitoring.
A journalist wore 4 wearables simultaneously and compared them to an in-lab sleep study. The winner? Apple Watch matched total sleep time to the minute and had the closest agreement with the lab sleep-stage results. They all overestimated deep sleep.

Imagine if we still had Optane, what would happen? $intc and $mu to $5T

youtu.be/JdB722MK380 It looks like NVIDIA is launching the N1X tomorrow. If you've been following my tweets, it seems like a really confusing product. It's late, the power is questionable, and how much is this thing going to cost? It's 2:30am, Jensen might prove me wrong at the keynote tomorrow, but I wanted to share my thoughts.

If you're thinking of buying an SSD, the time is now. The prices of the most popular consumer kits (here a 990 Pro 4TB) have already risen by over 30% a couple months...

I was wondering why updating #Battlefield6 on #Steam was taking so long, turns out it’s an entirely single threaded process πŸ€ͺ

Hadn't quite clocked how insane the memory price hike is. One of the most popular kits in The Netherlands - a Kingston Fury 2x 32GB DDR5-6000 has increased by over 50% in 1.5 months according to Tweakers price history. This graph does not look like it'll plateau just yet...

As AI is taking over article writing, I can see videos with on-camera presentation becoming more and more valuable as it's the last "real" human connection via the internet which is probably least likely to have been AI created.
