It’s so frustrating the amount of over generalization, anecdata that’s actually dangerous, and/or outright misinformation in this thread. Thank you for being one of the folks with spot on accurate info!

I’m not the one who downvoted you, but while stacking in 3D might work for things like ram and storage, it doesn’t help the same way with cpu. They aren’t trying to get the overall die size smaller per se, but rather the node size. Generall

Lots of scenarios where the pilot isn’t allowed to diverge from a flight path without getting into how freak events happen with the weather all the time. Cirrocumulus clouds are common on that flight path and can extend up to FL450. Is it r
