You're putting a lot of words in my mouth. What I'm saying is that whether or not it's a proof, it's useless: it does not improve human knowledge, because the only thing able to consume 10MB of Lean to build upon it is a

You're overestimating the amount of people that can afford a brand new car. The transition will take 15 years at least.

No. You can shit all you want over the antinuclear boys but: * Building nuclear plants is a 5-10 year plan. More if you haven't built them in a while. * The first economy in the world has quite literally started wars over oil because i

Nvidia is halving the production of its higher end GPUs, doubling prices and heavily segmenting the market. They don't give a single shit about individuals. One wafer that makes 10 5090s that might sell at 3000 each, or one wafer that
