We aren't talking about making new lug-nuts. A company can't just will a fab into existence. For example, Micron is actively building a few new fabs. One of which has been in progress since Biden (pretty close to my home in fact

And none of these companies are operating their own fabs, that's the problem. Fabs are a cutthroat business that's very hard to get into. It costs billions of continual investment to stay a float. That's why there's re

Nvidia has gotten a lot better over the last 2 years as well. There are still driver bugs that are somewhat annoying. It's also annoying that the driver is out of kernel. But otherwise, the open source nvidia by nvivia works just fi

Believe it or not, it's actually easier to handle on linux than it is on windows now [1]. Normal caveats apply, it depends on your HW manufacturer. However, a lot of them are participating which makes it pretty slick. And, assuming y

Not who you are responding to, but I'd say the point I was making wasn't that the sound wasn't different (though, the differences are almost certainly not large enough that most people can tell the difference). But rather th

The thing is, much like "perfectly white lights" you can mimic the non-linear behavior of tubes with transistor circuitry. On the extreme end you can integrate a DSP into the line to add a "vacuum tube" filter onto the

It's basically the same process as making an incandescent lightbulb. Which is why vacuum tubes took off in the first place. It's more parts and more metal working, for sure. But really it's shaping and dealing with thin fi

There's really not benefits to vacuum tubes pretty much anywhere. The only place I can think of where they are superior (which may not be true anymore) is high power transmission in, for example, radio and radar towers. In all other a

I tend to agree. But there are some like prenatal vitamins which people should be taking because dipping low on the nutrients can cause lifetime damage to the kid. In that case, I worry less that the vitamin contains too much and more that

We need yet another "This has what it says it has" regulation around supplements and vitamins. There's basically no guarantee that any vitamin pill you pull off the shelf has any percentage of it's claimed ingredients.

Or to put limits on overtime. Overtime is supposed to be a penalty to the employer for having unreasonable work hours. It shouldn't be something employees can willingly engage in to boost their take home pay. Especially when we are t

It's not legal, that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. See "Blue flu" for cases where cops coordinate a strike using sick leave. Another way they strike is by simply not doing their job. They'll just sit in the

The difference was it wasn't one global server for everyone. I think that's why the past feels like it was more stable. Now, aws or cloudflare gets a hickup and half the internet is nuked. The old internet was far more federated

Interesting but, IMO, probably one of the worst uses of JSON. The data you would want to consume is already not "human readable" so it instead introduces a lot of bloat for really no benefit. If you have a non-insignificant amoun

Batteries and the engine. The engine sits in line with the wheels rather than being under the hood of the car. That puts all the weight right next to the driving tires. But agree, cybertruck is a really silly purchase for numerous reasons

These aren't things unknown to other car manufacturers. Tesla, in particular, has suffered from mass recalls and faking sales. It also only really exists as a company because of government investment.

Even if it were a notebook, it could end up in court. If someone sees you writing in a book and talks about it during discovery, you can end up with a court order to produce that book.
