#NPR: The U.S. takes a step toward allowing #mining on the ocean floor, a fragile #ecosystem

by Julia Simon, April 25, 2025

"President #Trump signed an executive order Thursday aimed at making it easier for companies to mine the deep seafloor, saying it would create 'a robust domestic supply for critical minerals.'

"There is currently no commercial-scale deep-sea mining anywhere in the world. But companies have long eyed the ocean floor as a potential source of metals like nickel, cobalt, manganese and copper, which are used in batteries for electric vehicles and other technologies.

"The world has no rulebook for deep-sea mining. One company is pushing forward anyway

"These metals can be found in potato-sized nodules lying on the ocean floor. Many of the nodules are in the middle of the Pacific ocean, beyond the legal territory of individual countries.

"Thursday's order might circumvent ongoing international negotiations to regulate deep-sea mining.

"Those regions have traditionally been overseen by an international organization, the #InternationalSeabedAuthority (#ISA). The ISA has hosted talks for years to try to hammer out a rulebook to govern a potential seabed mining industry. The U.S. did not ratify the treaty that governs the seabed, and is not a voting member of the ISA, though in the past under previous administrations it has respected the ISA process.

"In his executive order, Trump instructed federal agencies to expedite the process for reviewing and issuing permits for mining on the seafloor in both U.S. and international territory. It will use a U.S. law from 1980, the "#DeepSeabed Hard Mineral Resources Act."

"Scientists and environmental groups condemned the order, arguing that opening the deep seabed for mining could disrupt important marine ecosystems, and damage the fishing industry.

" 'This is being planned on some of the least resilient #ecosystems on the planet,' says Douglas McCauley, professor of ocean science at the University of California Santa Barbara. 'It would have #catastrophic biological consequences.'

"Underwater mining can create plumes of sediment that could suffocate marine life, and degrade the #FoodWebs that fish depend on, McCauley says.

"There are also important questions about whether we actually need to be mining the seabed to get enough of these minerals for technologies like batteries, says Micah Ziegler, assistant professor of energy and chemical systems at Georgia Institute of Technology.

"While a couple of years ago researchers were concerned about the limitations of land-based mining for metals like cobalt and nickel, a variety of alternative #battery chemistries have been developed that might reduce the need for those elements, Ziegler says."

#Fedora ist bereit für #RISC_V

RISC-V ist eine offene Befehlssatzarchitektur (Instruction Set Architecture, #ISA), die auf den Prinzipien von Reduced Instruction Set Computing ( #RISC ) basiert. Im Gegensatz zu proprietären Architekturen ist RISC-V kostenlos und offen. Im Hinblick auf Offenheit und Freiheit ist die Entwicklung von RISC-V-Hardware für #Linux ein wichtiger Schritt.
Zielsetzung primäre Architektur.

Planning #FAIR packaging of #plant #phenomics #ResearchData - our current focus is on #ROCrate with #JsonLD to describe domain concepts using #MIAPPE, likely #SSN for sensors, #ProvO (or just #ISA) for provenance, public #vocabularies for each partner's measurement types, etc. and lots of image and CSV files.

#MachineLearning is a key use for the #data.

Should we also be looking at #Croissant?

If so, does anyone have experience of combining Croissant and RO-Crate?

Any insights welcomed.

@reverseics Classical @NanoRaptor #Shitposting aside: This is technically possible even outside #S100, #ISA & #PCI buses.

If I had more money than sense I would've build something similar to #sgi's #NumaLink-based systems with the #UltraStation.

Embrace the #CHONK|ER!

@randahl I have worked on this technology including a technical trial by the British government 20 years ago.

Speed warning is one thing and I'm all for that. As anybody knows who's driven a car with this "Intelligent" Speed Adaptation knows - the system often gets it wrong. It often gets confused by signs for other lanes on highways, in roadworks, etc. In these cases speed enforcement by a flawed system is Not Good & not helping.

"Nvidia’s Grace CPU (Arm-based)" So was NVIDIA's FALCON.

IMHO, that's the real kick in the teeth.

Though, NVIDIA has been working on RISC-V based replacements, for years and talking about such things publicly e.g. from 8 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg1lISJfJI0 or from 1 month ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5A9z_Yk0KA

Albeit, AFAIK, NVIDIA's GPUs use gobs of 32bit ARM cores.

It's one of the things that is so disheartening about Apple's GPU performance. Within the last week I finally got around to testing a MacBook Pro with an M4 Max at an Apple store, and Apple still has worse performance in e.g. https://www.shadertoy.com/view/llK3Dy than a GTX1080 GPU powered luggable I used to own from 2016.

Sure, Apple's GPU cores are 64bit ARM cores, but so what? At most Apple has 40 GPU cores. Whereas an Nvidia RTX4090 has: "16384 shading units, 512 texture mapping units, and 176 ROPs. Also included are 512 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. The card also has 128 raytracing acceleration cores."

GPU cores don't need to address tons of memory, they benefit from massive parallelization.

It's as if Apple's GPU designers don't understand the entire history of GPUs or something?

If I had to guess, if (and that's a big IF) Apple ever catches up in the GPU lands, NVIDIA will be long beyond ARM and well into the RISC-V future they've been actively working on for years.

TL;DR: proprietary licensed CPU ISAs are going to become increasingly artifacts of the past and the fact that Intel has been dragging everyone down with their dead weight for decades, when better CPU ISAs always existed as alternatives?

Intel's downfall is long overdue.
