USG's far more interested in (scare quotes intentional) "AI dominance", and pushing American tech to fuse to do so – damn the consumer.

There's some case for self-interest – propping up another fab etc. – but I do wonder how much of it is USG. (The economic case for Intel integrating Nvidia silicon on-chip doesn't too much sense to me: there's no growth pot

That's a false comparison. There's a huge difference between a standard container library, and the combination of a (a) best-in-class byte code interpreter with a (b) caching, optimizing JIT, supported by (c) a best-in-class garba

I’ll admit that taking a pause and planning isn’t one of my best strengths - I focus too much on experimenting and iteration. I’d love to have OP as a coworker - complementary problem-solving styles.

I don’t think that’s what the parent is describing it at all, not at the end. It’s a framework for understanding OP’s style of thinking, and connecting it to the research literature - sluggish “cognitive tempo” is the clinical jargon.

Thailand’s a very good place to get money out of you’re foreign organized crime in general - the fig leaf of “I’m buying an usually expensive condo/villa/yacht” is a good excuse.

Medical bills are usually a lot more reasonable than that in Thailand - we have a competitive healthcare market that’s backstopped by a public hospitals and a public universal healthcare system.
