  Yeah, not shocked. Apple never used AMD CPUs. GPUs, yes, but I don’t think you’ll have much luck outside of specific Intel SKUs (or at least, SKUs that are architecturally very similar to ones they used in actual machines sold by Apple.

  I’ve heard Stephen Miller is a sexual matador.

  I take that to mean that he’s in the ring, but he’s not the bull.

  Which, to be clear, I have zero problem with - I’m not here to kink shame. But I am here to kink shame fascists, because their theatrical yet fragile snowflake masculinity is so, so easy to troll on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does free healthcare access increase or decrease the need for medical personnel overall?⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like you’re defeating your own point while trying to prove it.

  There were no managers in 1970, and then, as a result of the HMO Act, an entire (and entirely unnecessary) middleman industry was created and filled with people.

  The comment you’re replying to isn’t “lying with data”. It’s illustrating that healthcare in the US had an explosion of unnecessary and parasitic bureaucracy as a direct result of the HMO Act.

  As a side note, I’m skeptical that a shrimp could fry rice, or anything else for that matter, since they have pretty tiny hands and probably would have a great deal of trouble gripping cooking utensils or the handle of the pan

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Taiwan refuses to move half of U.S.-bound chip production to American shores — trade discussion to be focused on Section 232 investigation for preferential deal on semiconductors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting, thanks. And yeah, I too find it utterly baffling at how Intel is turning into a has-been before our eyes. They were The Chip Guys for ages, and then the fucking quants got put in charge and carved away so much of the engineering leadership and underpinnings that it’s a husk of what it was in the 80s and 90s.

  I would, however, point out that TSMC’s whole deal is “define, and produce at scale, the bleeding edge of integrated circuit designs”, so the bit about them cribbing off of people hasn’t really been a variable in their equations for at least a couple decades. They have been major (arguably, the predominant) pioneers in chip lithography for a while now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Taiwan refuses to move half of U.S.-bound chip production to American shores — trade discussion to be focused on Section 232 investigation for preferential deal on semiconductors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh I know - but I’m saying they should halt efforts now, because they’ve been going on for several years (I think close to 4-5?) at this point.

  I was also under the impression that Mainland was still meaningfully behind the cutting edge, that TSMC was absolutely not resting on their laurels, and that the prospect of the CCP fabs fully catching up isn’t super likely. Out of curiosity, do you have any references/articles about recent CSMC/etc lithography advancements?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Taiwan refuses to move half of U.S.-bound chip production to American shores — trade discussion to be focused on Section 232 investigation for preferential deal on semiconductors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Good. It was a naked attempt at a shakedown, and also 100% a bluff. TSMC honestly should cancel/rescind all the fab construction they’re starting to spin up in the US, honestly. Now is emphatically not the time to undermine their strategic defense policy, which largely revolves around “if the CCP invades, we will melt our chip fabs to slag”.
