Why? There's entire websites for that..

They have a pill for that now.

Can you imagine in TikTok, Facebook and Twitter all go down together? What an amazing day that would be!

What do these people actually do? I assumed it was going to all be thots, but looks like some of these are dudes?

Would be interesting to compare the Louvre (a European museum) to The National Museum of China. The profile might be quite different given the highs and lows of Chinese history compared to European history.

One day, but there's no reason to assume it will be soon. Could be 100 years from now.

The point is we're not going much farther with MOSFET transistors. We need a completely new technology.

10nm is still impossible. Nobody is actually producing transistors that small.

Why should this be different than any other industry?

That's not how it works. Technology can't just magically ignore the laws of physics. In most industries progress is painfully slow or non-existent.

A silicon atom is 0.2nm wide.

In most industries tiny improvements are the norm. It's very unusual for an industry to be able to improve as quickly as the semiconductor industry has and it should be obvious it can't keep going forever.

No, not even close.

There's a lot to unpack in that comment, but for the sake of brevity I'll simply say there is no logical reason to expect a new technology to come around and bail us out right as the old technology is reaching its limits.

PS: The COVID vaccines we are using now were developed before a single American had even died of COVID. The technology was already there, the issue was simply all the regulations in the way. Operation Warp Speed didn't develop a new technology, it just cut all the red tape to cut the licensing time down from 10 years to 1 and obviously funded the construction of new production facilities to allow the process to be scaled up rapidly.

The original law also said costs would halve every 2 years and that's been dead for a while now.

Just wait until you learn about the suicide nets.

The cost of new fabs is increasing exponentially, clearly that can't continue forever.

You're just arguing semantics. The point is density is scaling much slower than it used to. Call it what you will, but what matters is we aren't going to see the big leaps in performance and cuts in cost anymore.

The process node names no longer actually refer to any real life feature size.. not even close. Moores Law is dead, but the marketing people don't want to admit it yet.

The number of people who fight for privacy and free speech is certainly far less than it once was.

Exactly. Only way to verify age is to verify identity. The two can't be separated.

These numbers look wrong. The private sector and CEO compensation are adjusted for inflation, but the stock market returns aren't.

There's plenty of things that should be outright banned, this just isn't one of them.

No, the larger the bomb the more the energy is wasted. That's why no deployed nukes are this large. The three large bombs listed above were all experiments, not actual weapons. It's far more efficient to lob multiple smaller warheads to cover the same area.

It would completely destroy a major city like Los Angeles and cause damage all the way out into the suburbs.
