This feels like more a matter of scale than anything else? We’re able as a species to do some absolutely insane wizard shit elsewhere (chip fab?), we just haven’t launched enough rockets yet to get there.
- tonyhart7 5mo agothe differences is rocket failure is blow up while chip design is salvageable
- shamefulkiwi 5mo agoLess than perfect chips are printed every day but the consequences of a less than optimal chip is ending up in a cheaper laptop vs. causing a big boom. I think we are doing wizard shit in rocketry, mistakes are just very loud. Definitely unexpected from BO, knowing that everyone is okay, I feel for their engineers right now.
- tsukikage 5mo agoFlagship chip yields are generally less than 50%. Over half the chips coming out are dead on arrival, and never leave the fab. Imagine if rockets had that sort of failure rate.
- ceejayoz 5mo agoA significant part of stuff like chip fabs is a controlled environment. Which is tough with rockets.
