- Comment on The plan for nationwide fiber internet might be upended for Starlink 4 days ago:
Hard to calculate exactly.
Latency is lower through the atmosphere than in glass (I thought that air was worse, but turns out it’s not. Makes sense. Glass is solid after all)
So it could be even closer than that. But there’s also the problem of the SL base station having to do the last bit of the route through fiber to the destination again. Do it also depends on where the base station is located in regards to the destination
- Comment on The plan for nationwide fiber internet might be upended for Starlink 4 days ago:
Light in glass is actually surprisingly slow
After some distance, starlink would have better latency, as while the signal needs to go through a bunch of km of slow atmosphere, it would make up for that by having a big part of the signal go through vacuum between satellites
But latency isn’t everything
Fiber (when properly installed) is very stable. Satellite and mobile is always at least a little bit flaky

- Comment on Where does technology come from in Star Wars? 1 week ago:
because that’ll reset chip size and density.
It will be extremely devastating, but not decades worth
The main part of the production, the EUV lithography machines, are made by ASML, a dutch company.
It will be expensive and very annoying, but production can be started elsewhere without too much trouble (just very expensive). TSMC is just currently being (imo rightfully) used as a protection against China
But even TSMC is starting to slowly set foot in other regions
