Nah... that is not even the best part. Here is the real FUN FACT: In the Aryabhatiya (Ganitapada, Verse 21), written in 499 CE, Aryabhata introduces the mathematics of stacking. He explicitly lays out the formula for finding the total number of items in a pyramid pile with a triangular/square base. For a pyramid stack where each side of the base has 'n' spheres: Total Spheres = [ n × (n 1) × (n 2) ] / 6 Think about the timeline here. Johannes Kepler conjectured that this layout was the densest in 1611. Aryabhata had already mapped out the exact algebraic discrete-volume matrix to count every single individual sphere within that dense packing formation 1000s yrs earlier. Fun Fact is still not over. Fast-forward to the 12th century. The legendary mathematician Bhaskara II takes Aryabhata’s foundation & elevates it into a poetic, highly advanced art form in his textbook, the Lilavati. Bhaskara creates a dedicated mathematical category called Citi-Ghana (the volume of a pile). He did not just give 1 formula; he realized that different stacking bases create different geometric properties. He breaks down eqns for: - Triangular-based pyramids (where spheres rest in the gaps of a triangular grid) - Square-based pyramids (the standard grocery-stack style) - Oblong piles (where the base is a rectangle) To solve these, Bhaskara had to utilize Varga-Sankalita (the sum of squares of natural numbers) & Ghana-Sankalita (the sum of cubes). While Western mathematics at the time was struggling with basic arithmetic using Roman numerals, Indian scholars were utilizing advanced series expansions to handle the discrete boundaries of 3 dimensional sphere packing. Now the Fun Fact is over 🙏🙏

SK하이닉스 일본 주재원 계신 분이랑 커피챗 내용 간단하게 공유 1. 메모리 수요가 너무 강력해서 일본 고객들에게 줄 메모리가 없다. 미국이랑 중국 고객 주고 나면 일본에 줄 물량이 없다고 함. 그래서 일본업체들 찾아가서 매번 쓰미마셍 고개 숙인다고 함. 2. 메모리 부족으로 닌텐도 같은 전자제품 가격 계속 올리는 중. 메모리가 없어서 난야 같은 업체 뿐만아니라 윈본드 같은 업체도 찾는중. CXMT는 기가바이트 통해서 이미 소비자용 제품으로 들어가고 있다고 함. 3. 일본에 있는 CXMT 한국엔지니어를 통해 듣기로는 CXMT 설계능력이 생각보다 엄청 뛰어나다고 함. 2-3년 격차가 아니라 그보다 더 좁혀질것 같다고 함. 진짜 중국의 똑똑한 인재들이 밤낮 안가리고 일한다고 함. 한국도 경계해야 할듯. 4. 메모리 가격은 계속 인상 중.. 몇프로인지는 밝힐 수 없지만 계속 인상중. 오늘 엔비디아 소캠에 메모리 줄었다는 이슈로 주가가 내리는데 메모리 가격은 오히려 올라서 영업이익은 계속 올라갈 전망. *개인적으로 걱정되는건 이런 메모리 가격 상승이 Capex 투자 부담으로 이어져서 AI 싸이클이 빨리 끝날까봐 걱정임. 구글도 채권찍고 있고 빅테크들도 현금이 떨어져 가는게 걱정됨. *투자권유, 매수,매도 추천 아닙니다.
