My understanding is that it's fundamentally a fab capacity limit. At a given node size/technology (think 7nm, etc) they can only output so many wafers. If AI data centers are generating enormous demand for memory, then that's

Agreed about balance, but you lost me after that - I really struggle to see a serious concern about society over-eagerly shutting down ideas, not when we live in a world in which all manner of ideas - including those that are disruptive and

Isn't AI's infinite willingness and lack of inhibition sort of the thing that people are increasingly voicing concern over? Put differently, maybe there's something fundamentally unhealthy to having a "discussion" w

Yeah so this would certainly be unacceptable, especially for NYC tax-payers struggling to get by I'm sure. My point is that the article leaves open room that the situation in SF isn't necessarily only due to unscrupulous behavio

That's clearly not the point - it's not a function of everyone knowing, but rather a function of the attempt to cover it up. Waving defeatism as some kind of universal truth is neither particularly enlightening nor useful.

In my experience, it's not so typical in the 3rd world to provide such a detailed level of transparency to be critiqued.

It's not clear to me that this is a result of corruption - the article notes that a big driver is overtime pay, and that SF has struggled with hiring in recent years, which could be a legitimate cause. Also note about the mayor: "

This sounds like the basis of a scam involving a company called Clark that I had the displeasure of dealing with in the past. From what I understand, they had/have an operation running in Spain, the purpose of which is to get people si

I think we're slightly below average with 20 vacation days per year as the legal minimum (compared to 25 on average in the EU?). Still significantly higher than the US, and with notably higher income/GDP per capita, so indeed it d

Hard to tell what you're specifically bothered by - is it a focus on emissions that aren't specifically fossil fuels burned for electricity, or "shame, shame garbage", as you put it? In either case, I think we can be exp
