I'll have to look up that idea of the "nano assembler" that you're referring, but I'll just mention that there is significant additive manufacturing in a modern semiconductor GAAFET node, with the entire transistor

They can, but it's orders of magnitudes less liquid than the public stock market. Liquidity!= ability to liquidate or not, BTW, it's more of a continuous spectrum.

You seem to not even be addressing my point that what you said is objectively false. You've instead changed the discussion to whether or not those incentives are "effective", which is a very different and subjective discussio

Wow, you really don't realize that your friend group is extremely biased to people with maxed out 401k's and more money than they know what do, do you? Meanwhile, between 60 and 77% of Americans report living paycheck to paycheck.

Online high stakes heads up cash games is by far the most competitive field in all of poker, for several reasons (global competition, more hands per hour, very few fish, etc). An online $100/$50 heads up match is probably equivalent to

Your knowledge of the application of math to poker is very outdated, look up "GTO poker" on YouTube.

Both arrays and (pure) functions are just mappings of inputs to outputs, this is why memoization is possible without any loss of functionality. Whether storing (arrays) or computing (functions) is faster is a quirk of your hardware and use

The fab in Washington is very old (notice it's still equipped for 8 inch wafers) and so pretty irrelevant to Nvidia's business. I'm not quite sure what process they run there but I believe it was an acquisition 10+ years ago,
