Right... because scientific endeavors can totally afford to scale up budgets dramatically just because one special interest drove up prices to astronomical levels. That's totally how budgets applied for years in advance work.../s
I don't give a shit about cryptocurrency, but mysidia is abolutely right about the demand for GPUs for research, deep-learning, and scientific applications. Crypto could completely die out (I don't think it will, but also, don't care either way) and the scientific applications will still be growing to make their investments in production capacity worthwhile. Nvidia is *definitely* being short-sighted by not dramatically scaling their manufacturing capacity.
fMRI doesn't really track brain activity, it tracks blood oxygenation which is used as a reasonably good approximation of actual activity. Just a little nitpick.

In a world where people actually use their brains: voters. Alas...
