Transistors can only get so small and, eventually, the more permanent laws of physics get in the way. Already transistors can be measured on an atomic scale, with the smallest ones commercially available only 3 nanometers wide, barely wider than a strand of human DNA (2.5nm)…..* Moore’s Law

why i usually only trade the underlying resource. Your mileage may vary.

Country risk. Financing risk. Leadership risk. Then add the underlying metal being mined.$SVM

But this is more a comment about my lack of skill on individual miner investing. I am sure many have success

Bought a small piece today at 3.22. Dropped 20% on the Senior notes announced of 130M USD. I think its a good company; 3 silver mines operating in China so it is cash-flowing; owns about 27% of new Pacific Metals. Bought the El Domo copper project in Ecuador and plans to advance it. Yes, surely risk is here but risk is everywhere.

The best of us make big mistakes.

The people who make a ton of money with the metal miners are the deal-making insiders, not the investors or traders who take the risks.

Vertiv Holding (VRT) was up +14.6% today.

Vertiv, a Cara 100 company, is a data center infrastructure provider.

At at investor event today, management was positive about its profitability. Revenue growth of 12-14% and operating margins of 26% are forecast.

” integrated photonic quantum computing is considered a potential challenge to trapped ion quantum computing, primarily because it offers a path to overcome the scalability limitations of trapped ion systems by integrating optical components on a chip, potentially enabling more efficient qubit manipulation and connectivity with less complex optical setups. 
Key points about the challenge:
Scalability issue in trapped ion systems:
One major challenge with trapped ion quantum computers is the difficulty in addressing and connecting a large number of individual ions with precisely aligned laser beams, which becomes increasingly complex as the system scales up. 
Integrated photonics solution:
By integrating optical components like waveguides and light sources onto a chip, integrated photonic quantum computing could offer a way to simplify the optical addressing of trapped ions, potentially enabling a more scalable architecture. 
Challenges in integrated photonics:
While offering potential for scalability, integrated photonics still faces challenges like achieving low optical losses, managing complex waveguide designs, and interfacing with the trapped ion system efficiently. “…. decade changers…

” Yes, photonic chips have the potential to significantly challenge GPUs in the future, especially in applications requiring extremely high bandwidth and low power consumption, as they can process data at the speed of light, potentially offering significantly faster processing speeds while using less energy compared to traditional electronic chips like GPUs; however, current limitations in manufacturing and integration with existing systems still pose challenges to widespread adoption. 
Key points about photonic chips and their potential to challenge GPUs:
Superior data transmission speeds:
Light travels much faster than electrical signals, enabling significantly faster data transfer between components within a system. 
Lower power consumption:
Photonic circuits can potentially operate with much lower power requirements compared to traditional electronic circuits. 
High bandwidth potential:
Photonic chips can handle massive amounts of data simultaneously, which is crucial for applications like high-performance computing and AI. 
Challenges to overcome:
Manufacturing complexity:
Integrating photonic components with existing electronic circuits on a single chip is still a complex technical challenge. 
Cost considerations:
Currently, manufacturing photonic chips can be more expensive compared to traditional silicon-based chips. 
Limited applications:
While promising for specific use cases, photonic chips might not be suitable for all computing tasks currently handled by GPUs. 
Overall, while photonic chips are not yet a direct threat to GPUs in the mainstream market, ongoing research and development could significantly change the landscape of computing in the future, particularly in areas where high bandwidth and low power consumption are critical. ”
…..To me, this is the new BTC…. The potential is absolutely enormous… I stood by BTC at $ 15 K…. I stand by this…

” In the context of quantum computing, entanglement is generally considered more important than trapped ions because entanglement is the key quantum phenomenon that allows for powerful quantum computations, while trapped ions are simply a method for physically isolating and manipulating qubits, which are the building blocks for performing those computations, including entanglement operations; therefore, achieving high-fidelity entanglement is crucial for building a functional quantum computer, regardless of the specific trapping method used. 
Key points to consider:
Entanglement is the core of quantum power:
Entanglement enables complex quantum algorithms that are impossible with classical computers, making it the key feature for quantum computation advancements. 
Trapped ions are a platform:
While trapped ions are a promising platform for quantum computing due to their long coherence times and precise control, the ability to create and manipulate entangled states within the trapped ion system is what truly matters.”…..

Rocket’s net loss overshadows record mortgage volume growth in Q3
Rocket Companies reported a net loss of $481 million in the third quarter, despite recording its highest-ever mortgage origination volume for the period.
The Detroit-based parent company attributed the loss partly to an $878 million decrease in the value of its mortgage servicing rights portfolio. This valuation drop, often influenced by interest rate shifts and market conditions, marked a reversal from the $115 million in net income reported for the same quarter last year.

Substantial lift in the Gold price tonight.

Probably due to Pres. Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to fire US long-range ballistic missiles into Russia. Strong Putin response is awaited.
