Another great find at the Friend of the Library book sale. Commercial and fine art magazine from Zurich. Articles in English, German, and French. Nice article about printmaking by painters and sculptors at the Met. Cover relief print by Eduard Prussen from Cologne Volkshochschule.

Een Precies Vier bestaat uit 16 woorden, begrippen of namen, die moeten worden verdeeld in precies vier groepen van vier. Er is telkens maar één oplossing mogelijk. Welke woorden vormen een connectie?

Het kan in de betekenis van de woorden zitten, maar bijvoorbeeld ook omdat je overal het-zelfde woord voor of achter kan zetten. Of omdat vier woorden -allemaal beginnen met een meisjesnaam. En let op: er zitten heel vaak dwaalsporen in een Precies Vier. Het beste is om deze puzzel online te spelen, dan zie je direct of je -poging klopt of niet: www.nrc.nl/puzzels/precies-vier

In de speeltuin feliciteerde ik mijn buurjongen met zijn mooie eindrapport in groep 4. Toen ik zei dat hij vast het slimste kind ooit was, reageerde hij beslist: „Nee, dat is…

Als je wel zin hebt om te sudokuen, maar het liever bij een gridje van 5x5 houdt.

Een kruiswoordpuzzel, maar dan heel klein (en snel).

Je krijgt een paar cijfers cadeau, maar het grid van 9x9 moet foutloos ingevuld worden.

Wie of wat staat er midden in het nieuws? Een actuele puzzel, die makkelijker is als je het nieuws een beetje volgt.

SK Hynix is launching a Nasdaq listing expected to raise about $28 billion, giving US investors easier access to one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI memory-chip boom. Reuters reports: The company will sell 17.79 million new shares in the depository receipt listing on the Nasdaq. Ten ADRs will represent one common share and the stock will be sold in a price range that is due to be revealed on Monday, based on SK Hynix's Seoul trading price. SK Hynix's share price was down 4% at 2,327,000 won each on Monday, but the stock is up about 273% this year, as it rides surging global investor demand for AI stocks. Korea's KOSPI was down 2.2% on Monday. [...]

SK Hynix has been among the world's largest beneficiaries of the AI boom as it outperformed its major rivals Samsung and Micron. "This is more than a liquidity event," said Dave Mazza, the chief executive officer of Roundhill Investments in New York, which manages an exchange-traded fund tracking DRAM manufacturers, which is one of the most popular ways for U.S. investors to trade SK Hynix's stock. "SK Hynix has been one of the most important companies in the world that most U.S. institutions could not easily own." "The listing removes an accessibility discount, not a quality discount."

[...] SK Hynix said the proceeds from the listing of the American Depositary Receipts will be used to build chip factories in South Korea and buy chipmaking equipment including an extreme ultraviolet scanner made by Dutch equipment maker ASML. The final price of the New York listing is due to be set on Thursday, ahead of the stock starting trade on Friday, regulatory filings showed. The company's management will meet global investors on a roadshow this week. The deal is expected to be the second-biggest share sale after a record $85.7 billion initial public offering by SpaceX last month, surpassing Saudi Aramco's $25.6 billion IPO in 2019 and Alibaba's similar-sized offering in 2014.

In its short life, Anthropic has captured hearts, minds, and wallets – and spooked the US government – but it hasn’t actually turned a profit. That’s not stopping CEO Dario Amodei from signing a two-decade lease with crypto-mining outfit turned AI datacenter operator TeraWulf. Anthropic believes it’s not only going to survive any AI bubble burst but keep operating until 2047, or at least that’s what it (probably) wants prospective investors in its upcoming initial public offering. What will Anthropic end up paying for lights, power, and shelter from the elements provided by TeraWulf’s Justified Data campus in Hawesville, Kentucky? If everything goes to plan, the deal will be worth a whopping $19 billion in contracted revenues over the next two decades. “Expected” is the key word here because the 401-megawatt facility isn’t working yet. TeraWulf expects to commence limited operations in the second half of 2027, before completing the facility sometime the following year. Datacenters aren’t cheap to build or run. Approximately half the cost of bringing up the datacenter is attributed to the power, shell, and thermal management systems with the rest being compute and networking. So, on top of the $19 billion Anthropic is burning on the new digs, the AI upstart still needs to fill the facility with compute — and that means raising capital. According to an SEC filing published Monday, “Anthropic’s payment obligations under the Justified Data Campus Lease are expected to be supported by an investment-grade credit.” That is to say, Anthropic’s ability to make rent will depend on its ability to continue raising capital. The model developer won’t have to wait too much longer for its next opportunity to get its hands on some cash. Early last month, Anthropic confidentially filed for an IPO. While details remain thin, the company is widely expected to make its debut on Wall Street this northern autumn/fall. It’s shaping up to be a big year for AI IPOs after SpaceX (which now owns xAI) made Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire. Mere retail investors haven't fared so well, as after the price of SpaceX scrip hit the stratosphere in the days after its IPO, it's settled to now trade at about six percent above launch day prices. TeraWulf is also jumping through hoops to finance the deal. Alongside bagging Amodei and crew as customers, the company announced it was selling its 50.1 percent stake in the Abernathy Joint Venture to an investment group led by FluidStack. That joint venture was established last year to develop a 168-megawatt datacenter in Abernathy, Texas. TeraWulf is now pulling its $450 million out of the project so it can use that capital to finance additional datacenter builds. While that cash injection should help to bring its Justified Data campus online, TeraWulf could still find itself in a precarious position should the bubble burst and Anthropic's ability to secure the new capital necessary to make rent evaporate. With that said, it wouldn’t be the only one facing this stark reality, and its exposure is relatively small compared to the $300 billion Oracle has committed to AI builds. Last week Big Red shared a laundry list of risk factors that could send its business spiraling and chief among them was its unbridled enthusiasm for all things AI. ®

The Australian government says there was ‘insufficient notice’ as details of missile path are released by Taiwan government

China’s missile test in the Pacific did not comply with international law and was conducted with “insufficient notice” to nearby countries, according to the US and Australia as international condemnation grows.

But a Chinese government spokesperson claimed the test was “safe” and part of “routine” military training, telling critics to “not over-interpret it.”

• Portugal lose last 16 game 1-0 against Spain

• Martínez: ‘When you need a goal, you cannot take him off’

Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted that he has played his last World Cup game, but said that even at 41 he has not yet made a decision about his future.

Twenty-three years after making his debut, the Portugal captain’s 233rd game for his national team ended in a late 1-0 defeat against Spain that led to elimination in Dallas. He departs as the only man to have ever scored at six World Cups and he said he does so at peace, claiming that Portugal’s European Championship win in 2016 is as big as a world title and noting that his era has been the most successful in the country’s history.

LONDEN (ANP) - De vierde ronde op Wimbledon gaat dinsdag verder, nadat de partij tussen Alexander Zverev en Jiří Lehečka maandagavond om 22.55 uur (lokale tijd) werd stilgelegd vanwege de avondklok die om 23.00 uur ingaat. De Duitser Zverev stond op dat moment voor op de Tsjech: 6-4 7-5 3-3.

De partij tussen de twee begon om 20.50 uur, maar de twee uur en tien minuten voor het ingaan van de avondklok waren niet voldoende om een winnaar aan te wijzen. Na 23.00 uur mag er niet meer getennist worden in Londen om de buurt niet tot last te zijn.

Zverev, de nummer 3 van de wereldranglijst, won vorige maand zijn eerste grandslamtitel op Roland Garros. Hij kwam op Wimbledon nooit voorbij de vierde ronde.
