Eat chocolate - I heard on the latest All-In podcast that the price of the commodity cocoa has gone through the roof recently because some of the main supplier countries have had a particularly bad harvest this year. Analysts are saying this will affect the price of chocolate starting in a few weeks, and / or the size of chocolate products. Could be a good time to either stock up the freezer and eat as many chocolate easter eggs as possible. #

Innovative advances are being made in materials science, 3D stacking, integrated chiplets, lithography, and even the software and description languages used by chip designers. They will have a trillion transistors within a decade, which will fuel the AI revolution. spectrum.ieee.org #
