Hi,
Seems the taiwan silicon shield just got pulverized,
the definition was as follows:
"The term rCLsilicon shieldrCY emanates from TaiwanrCOs
ability to resist the Chinese threat owing to its
unique technological know-how and integration into
global supply chains. According to the silicon shield
theory, the protective function of the Taiwanese
semiconductor industry is two-fold: (1) China may
not want to invade Taiwan since a conflict would
disrupt its semiconductor imports on which it is
largely dependent; (2) semiconductors are a matter
of U.S. national security, making an American
intervention in case of cross-strait conflict more
likely since the U.S. is also dependent on Taiwanese chips."

Hi,
The Alps Supercomputer that was used to train the
the Swiss https://www.swiss-ai.org/apertus ranks 7-th,
some sources say 6-th world wide:
The 9 most powerful supercomputers https://www.livescience.com/technology/computing/top-most-powerful-supercomputers
The computer is cooled and in the summer the buildings as
well, with sea water from Lake Lugano. From 45 m sea depth,
460 liters of cold sea water per second over 2.8 km long
are drawn to the data center. Water comes back at around
25-#, they might make the Locarno Filmfestival warm and cosy.

P.S.: The energy consumption is said to be 50 MW, similar figures
are found in the UK AIRR initiative Bristol. Currently their
Isambard-AI is fastest in UK, but ranks top 15 worldwide.
