They're still around, and the signal to noise ratio is much improved as the more prolific spammers moved away to social media.

I'm a lurker on a couple of automotive forums and a watch forum and they're doing quite nicely.

By repurposing an older machine which wasn't designed for that node.

More than what Intel could do with all their money and access.

Inevitable. Huawei already had 7nm a couple of years ago.

FTA:

"And who will stop this? Sam Altman? How many divisions does he have? The state doesn’t let corporations own nuclear weapons or fighter jets, it won’t let them have access to autonomous AI weapons either."

Elon Musk's SpaceX. He could land a large rocket wherever he wants, it's basically a missile.

Probably more. The digital world has made us unwitting prisoners.

FTA:

"In 1776 the American colonists rebelled against what they saw as the arbitrary and tyrannical British monarchy."

I like the sly use of "what they saw" - typical British snark.

I pay for the EB. Wish I'd bought the last print edition back in 2010.

He said that in response to a leading question by the interviewer: he's saying if you think X viewpoint is being suppressed, then people with that viewpoint need to participate to counter the suppression.

Good grief.

Why would you give your dog those as treats?

I have my smart tv on a separate router and it's powered off most of the time. An accident of wiring.

"Recruiters" are getting sophisticated.

I spoke on the phone with "Singapore based recruiters" a couple of times who wanted my services as a consultant for "advanced applications for semiconductor devices."

Turns out they were just fishing for inside information on my employer's end customer's applications.
