I'm OK with it. You're supposed to destroy countries that are committing genocide. And Trump is doing that for us without us even firing a shot. And I really do believe Trump wants to destroy the US, as his base are not aligned wi

Backyard semiconductor production is pretty similar to backyard barbecue. Lots of heating, smoking (diffusion), injecting (ion implant), and layering..

What a lot of these discussions are missing is that designer labels aren't high-quality either, especially newer brands. A lot of the newer brands take time to learn from their experience to ramp up quality, from materials to stitching

lol no. There are probably 50-100 million potential customers. The rural farmer in India isn't going to buy Starlink.

There really aren't that many people around the world that would make Starlink profitable in the long run. Only about 1% of the global population are farmers, so that already limits your market. And the moment a village is formed, the

ok but that just makes Starlink even more unprofitable, as now you're limited by the number of customers. The moment these people incorporate into a village, it becomes more profitable to build a fiber connection. Fiber will eventually

The only real viable long-term business model for these constellations are for the military or other socialized use. They are completely unprofitable otherwise. Eventually even Starlink will lose money, as more and more rural regions around

This is a really huge and a fundamental flaw in AI-driven design. AI-driven design is completely inconsistent. If you re-ran an AI generated layout, even with the same prompt, the output for a user interface will look completely different b

No, the same $200 plan is still there. They hid it behind the $100 click-through. This just adds a $100 plan that's 1/4 the usage of the $200 plan..

Can you imagine how much better and happier the world would be without Israel? Like, half the wars since Israel's founding wouldn't have happened... they really are a cancer on the world.

Yah my Claude Code agents run a ton of Python and bash scripts. You're probably missing out on a lot of tool use cases without full tool use through POSIX compatibility.

A lot of government would be improved by making elected positions be very specific roles. Why are we deciding military strategy from a guy that was elected to fix labor rights? Should the same guy running the school system also be in charge

Great. Glad you agree that it was Mossad that was responsible for all the civilian deaths during the violent Iranian insurrection, and not the Iranian government. I think we can all agree that the Iranian government are the good guys and th

You'd ban the internet too if you had a foreign military using it to communicate with armed insurrectionists. Yes, specifically you. YOU would do that too. War changes rules of a country.

No, there aren't independent sources for that estimate, and we do not even know if it is close to that. That number was simply made up and comes from Iran International, a Mossad-funded Pahlavist site. Additionally, the Iranian governm

I honestly do see Trump just declaring he lost. "These Iranians put up a good fight and we weren't prepared." or something to that effect. He's been known to acknowledge defeat, like his complete 180 when Mamdani won.

It's done in a military court of a far-right theocratic government that doesn't believe in a Democracy, and is in fact attacking other Democracies like Lebanon and Iran. They don't even bother having fair trials. So it's

I think for AMD, they were focused on competing against Intel. Remember AMD was almost bankrupt about 15 years ago because of competing against Intel. But the very first GPU use for AI was actually with an ATI/AMD GPU, not an Nvidia on
