  • Practically all DRAM production is sold out for next year, there isn’t going to be any significant new supply into the consumer market in that timeframe. Also, when these massive piles of memory end up sitting in a warehouse because the bubble pops, this stock will never make it to the consumer market, because AI data centres use HBM, which is soldered directly to motherboards in such a way that it’s impossible to turn it into modules again. Even if all the DRAM producers start selling to the consumer market jan 1st 2027, the pent up demand will still probably keep prices high.

    All that to say, I don’t think prices will crater.



  • Yes, this behaviour depends on whether your specific model of calculator uses a higher priority for implicit multiplication.

    Implicit multiplication being higher priority is a nice shorthand for reducing number of brackets when writing simple fractions without the proper typesetting of the horizontal line.

    Because most mathematical works don’t have this typographical limitation, such statements don’t appear often. When they do appear, it’s just important that the convention within one text is consistent (and hopefully explicitly mentioned).
