Meta claims its new AI supercomputer will be the fastest in the world
Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, said its research team has developed a new artificial intelligence supercomputer that is said to be the fastest in the world when completed in mid-2022.
Meta says the AI Research SuperCluster (RSC) computer will help the company build better AI models that can learn from trillions of examples, work in hundreds of languages, and analyze text, images, and videos together to determine if content is harmful.
“This research will help keep people safe when using our services, not only today, but also in the future, as we create a metaverse,” the company said in a statement.
Last October, the social media giant changed its name to Meta to reflect its focus on the metaverse it believes will be the successor to the mobile internet.
The term “metaverse” refers to the idea of shared virtual environments that people can access from different devices and where they can work, play and communicate.
The RSC was developed by Nvidia, Pure Storage and Penguin Computing.

One Galaxy S23 Ultra costs Samsung $469 with a retail price of $1,200

The flagship smartphone Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra sells for $1,200, and the company costs almost three times less.
According to Counterpoint analysis, the production of the flagship costs Samsung about $469. Thus, Samsung makes more than $700 on each Galaxy S23 Ultra, but this, of course, does not take into account many factors, including marketing, R&D and so on. And even assembly is not taken into account here, although it is usually very cheap in terms of one device.
More than a third of the production price of the flagship comes from the SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, that is, the platform costs about $ 165, which is very, very much. Second place in price goes to the screen (18% of the cost), followed by cameras (14%) and memory (11%). 67% of the cost of production comes from Qualcomm and Samsung components.

Japan will try to transfer energy from space to Earth as early as 2025

Japan is going to transfer energy from space to Earth as early as 2025. We are talking about the transfer of energy received from solar panels placed in space. Of course, without any cables.
There are few details about the project yet. It is known that it will be implemented by private companies with the support of the state. It is also reported that the project will involve small orbiting satellites, which will transmit energy in the microwave range to Earth.
In itself, the technology of energy transmission over the air is not at all new, but in the case of such a project, we are talking about distances of hundreds of kilometers. The Japanese space agency JAXA made a breakthrough in this area back in 2015, when scientists managed to transfer 1.8 kW of power, but then the distance was only 50 meters.
At the same time, even if Japanese scientists succeed, the technology of transmitting solar energy directly from space is unlikely to become widespread in the foreseeable future, since now calculations show that about 7 billion dollars need to be spent on generating 1 GW of power in orbit, and how much of them will be able to deliver to Earth, and it is not yet clear at all.
