The AI boom is worsening a global memory chip shortage, which Samsung predicts will continue into 2027
Samsung Electronics on Thursday reported record quarterly profit driven by a 49-fold jump in chip income, saying it expects a severe supply shortage to deepen next year as clients spend on AI, driving up prices of its memory chips.
A boom in the construction of AI datacentres has spurred Samsung and chipmaking peers to allocate production capacity to advanced chips that Nvidia uses in its so-called AI accelerators. Even so, chipmakers are struggling to meet demand while the move also squeezes the supply of conventional chips.

Georg Baselitz was a living thread of history and his death robs us of the truth he knew when we need it more than ever. He was one of the only two people I have spoken to for whom Nazi Germany was a living memory: Baselitz was born in 1938, making him far too young to bear any personal guilt but old enough – seven when the Third Reich fell – to retain direct experience and images of it.

Into the woods they went, these ironically titled “Heroes”, chopping and being chopped in the guilty depths of the German forest.

From George Clooney in ER to Noah Wyle in The Pitt, emergency department doctors have long been popular heroes. But will it soon be time to hang up the scrubs?
A groundbreaking Harvard study has found that AI systems outperformed human doctors in high-pressure emergency medicine triage, diagnosing more accurately in the potentially life and death moments when people are first rushed to hospital.

Het kabinet heeft de Tweede Maasvlakte op het oog voor nieuwe kerncentrales. Voor onze regio kan dat, als de kerncentrales er daadwerkelijk komen, veel gevolgen hebben. Er komen kansen voor werk en economie, maar er zijn ook zorgen over drukte en natuur, blijkt uit onderzoek dat de gemeente Rotterdam liet uitvoeren.
Een inbreker heeft het voorzien op rolcontainers en legborden, die staan opgesteld bij een bedrijf aan de Klappolder in Bleiswijk. De man steelt maar liefst 400 rolcontainers en 500 legborden, met een totale waarde van 55 duizend euro.
Wie vermoordde Mariska Klompenhouwer? Een coldcaseteam van de Politie Eenheid Rotterdam zoekt 25 jaar na dato alsnog de persoon die daarvoor verantwoordelijk is. De dan 35–jarige Mariska, een alleenstaande moeder van een 11-jarige dochtertje, wordt na een avondje stappen op 29 april 2001 dood gevonden op een parkeerterrein van Ahoy in Rotterdam-Zuid.
