I’m lucky enough to have a WinCo nearby, but I’m not sure how widespread they are

That sounds like good traits for a junior or internship role.

Just because you’re awake doesn’t mean you need to be working

I hope this reference never dies

I think the italics were pretty clear labeling

Bragging about paying a porn star for sex while your wife is at home nursing your newborn is a helluva power move. I wonder why more people don’t do it?

Kind of tangential, but can you do local multiplayer when emulating the switch on a steam deck. Like can you have a 4 player Mario kart game?

I feel you. I spent 48 hours this week streaming shows, waiting for a possible call to some in. I’m sure that’s some people’s dream job, but it drives me nuts that I have to be on site for no reason. I like the feeling I get from actually working and the sense of accomplishment it gives you

I work nights with 2 other guys. One of them is cool and seems to be a bit introverted, but we’re both into sports so we’ll watch games the first few hours and chat intermittently. The other guy openly hates sports, but loves “shooting the shit”, which he understands to mean him going on a fringe political rant or into way too much detail over some random shit he saw on YouTube… Luckily work gave us headsets with ANC, so me and the cool guy just headset up once the games are over and live in silence on the slow nights

AI is going to start writing entire fake research papers and books written by fake authors, just so it can be cited as a source for a high school kid using it to cheat on a 500 word essay.

If only they had reliable utilities. Samsung’s fab in Austin got shut down for a few weeks from ice-mageddon. Messed them up enough that they threatened to leave if Texas didn’t give them something to make up for it.

Ohh I misunderstood your other post.

I agree with your main point. I don’t think international manufacturers would find value in spinning up new fabs here just to make chips for the DoD. But it does make me curious how big of a chunk defense is vs total. I would guess it’s pretty small. Chips are in everything, it’s not like these aerospace guys where DoD is their cash cow.

Neither TSMC nor Samsung ever produced chips in North America in the first place

I’m not sure what you mean by ever? Samsung’s been making chips in Austin for almost 30 years.

It’s just not something you can do in your garage these days (or for the past few decades), even if the designs were open sourced. I like your idea and wish there was less concentrated power in chip manufacturing, I just don’t think it’s very feasible.

I feel like there’s very few people who could design and build their own brain implant chip. Even in the far future

How can you tell?

How do you feel about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?

You’re thinking of John McCain. I disagreed with most of his principles, but respect the fact that he generally stuck to them. Our perspectives and politics were very different, but he seemed to have good character

I’ve got no problem with weed or driving high responsibly. But your argument was that people can be trusted to act responsibly and I was refuting that.

People are not responsible, that’s what led to the situation in this article
