Ireland is the largest buyer of Israeli ICs the same way Thailand is the largest buyer of Argentinian pears…yet we all know where the final product is going…

ICs Lexiland actually uses compared to what it sells is drastically in favor of exports the scheme is smoke and mirrors (for tax reasons ofc)

Trying to frame this like it isnt anything more than Intel shipping chips between itself is certainly misleading don’t you think?

Israeli fabs are outdated halfassed and have run at a loss for decades, their primary customer is Intel to send wafers to other fabs to get finished

YOU FEEL ME THO!?!?

Like for everything that is HOLY whyyyyyyy is someone named, DJ DEVTH DVEMN, making their name even harder to read on a flyer we’re already omitting key vowels and now we’re punching school bus chairs to make logos too???

Ties in with geopol but its so interesting how companies will prio their own nationals over more qualified expats

I watched a Korean throw fists with an American, the American gets their badge pulled and our operation go to shit as a result

Moral of the story: DO NOT FIGHT BACK RUN AWAY hahaha

Ive yet to run into anyone in industry (semicon), myself included, where they were ACTUALLY trained. Like, there are “training” programs which are more or less random knowledge dumps and then they throw you onto the machines

And if you fuck up a line of phones or drop a tool on accident. Tuff tiddy

Hahaha deadass everytime I see that font slapped on some fuckass Beeplecrap render with a track title like “Raveboi” my brain yells “dawg just make a metal band already you can be a single piece its ok many guys do it and tour with instrumentalists I believe in you!”

I think that Helion’s scheme is weird like why D-He3? Youre already working uphill with the energy production AND youre working with FRCs so you need an anti-fuzz material ESPECIALLY when youve gotta hold your plasma longer

I hope they get it tho itd be awesome if they pull it off

And to follow this up on the same topic

Bass producers

Drop the cracked chair font

Youre not a black metal band you have a song titled Peanut Butter and sample Rick & Morty

Have some shame/class/self-awareness

You can do better than this gang

Very spicy music take but

I don’t like heavy rock x dubstep overlap i never understood it

Before I went to my first bass show i assumed people were ACTUALLY dancing but no it was entirely half assed mosh pits and off beat headbanging

Its corny
this shit is played out
learn to dance
be better

Holy shit why is every hebrew translated tweet from a blue check so fucking insane

Im a firm believer that energy availability would solve a majority of human made problems

I think if every country had both breeder and BWR reactors to supply power for desalination, agriculture and amenities, we would be living in the utopian Star Trek timeline

I strive to make that ours

From all my travels in semicon i will say the friendliest people ive met abroad are:

1) Serbians
2) Brazilians
3) Jordanians

Every time I work outside of Texas, from Asia to the EU, i get adopted by a group of one of the three and theyre always soooo chillll, friendly and ready to party/hang hahah

As the pol climate gets wilder and Samsung + Sony starts faceplanting more on higher node yields, SK and JP are going to get MUCH more conservative and messy

Consumer electronics are cheap now…enjoy it…the world will get tarriffs from them soon the way normies talk in fab…call it happens in 4-8yrs

Samsung is FUCKED the yield issues the lawsuits the executive leadership churn

This bleeds into geoopol but South Korea with Samsung this vulnerable are in deep shit and the fact theyre struggling to get automotive contracts for their foundries is a signal SK is on track to implode economically

Despite all the technological advantages ive yet to see a PBR type reactor that has me deviating from the “this is stupid, why are we doing deviating from fuel rods we all know the cons wtf man”

The Germans for all their faults figured this out…why do we keep renewing nonsense man X-Energy wyd man

Im gonna say this til the day I die Emperor Palpatine stomps Emperor of Mankind idgaf

Lightsabers >>> chainswords
Hyperspace >>> the warp
Jedi/Sith >>> Space Marines
Summing black holes >>> The Webway
Star Destroyer >>> Battle Barge
The Sith would nodiff Khorne demons

Argue with a wall

Having learned how to DJ and having played in multiple recording + touring bands in multiple genres i believe i have a minor cert to say

Playing an instrument is harder than DJing

But DJing has a higher ceiling than live instrumentation, and thats ONLY if you bother to master more than one genre

Japan as this “powerhouse” eastern entity is ending

The Right would have you think its a demographic thing and im skeptical of those dog whistles but Japan really hates its Brazilian migrants and changing its work culture from my personal exp

No nation can stand long term with what they do

Theres a competitor technology to ASML’s EUV that the press keep picking up

Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL)

Basically, you “push” your design onto the wafer vs drawing it with “plasma light”

Its not beating EUV
Even when optimized its not coming close

Its all Japanese Fed funded cope

I think the American conservative pivot to nuclear is overall a GOOD thing despite the headasses we gain from Valar etc etc

“Move fast and break things” can lead to some progress in certain areas. If they want to shorten THEIR lifespan unnecessarily to advance our life expectancy

Be my guest man

Star Wars is its best at its most esoteric and mythological like Golden Age of the Sith through to the Freedom Naad Uprising and Exar Kun/Ulic Qel-Droma saga

THAT is what ive always wanted Star Wars to be. The generational Greek tragedy, the scale, the magic sci fi blend

A 90s LOTR

PEAK

I honestly think its really sad that musicians are approaching AI the way they currently are and that heads need to ignore the tech bro narrative of “we untalented can generate music too!”

As someone whos made music both electronic and not, AI should be a TOOL the same as Excel is to an accountant

Suuuuper spicy Geopol take

TSMC undoubtedly has the lead in semicon and is keeping Taiwan independent FOR NOW but their work / innovation culture is so dogshit they are ripe for getting overpassed by someone competent

Given intel and GR are US fed funded i cant see Taiwan making it into the ‘40s

Having traveled the world for semicon, I can say definitively that the absolute worst working conditions ive been in were American…

A lot of people talk about EAsian fabs and their work culture but America has thee ONLY fabs i was made to work an illegal amount of hours

And for like…dogshit yields

ITER and a lot of the fusion startup darlings (CFS, etc) are going to fail HARD at achieving the gains we NEED because we are NOT focusing on THE THING we’ve known about for decades but don’t put any focus on: fuzz

Everyone funds magnets and plasmas

Next to no one funds studying the walls

Drop your favorite SW EU comic line, why was it the Old Republic and why is Zayne Carrick the bestest boye in star wars

One like, one semiconductor/geopol/nuclear/music/star wars hot take

Only the spiciest from Token on bsky

Pull up to ATX we got like three different promoter groups coming up at the same pushing OG and current garage HARD

Its also really funny about the pay like when i found out I was making more than TSMC guys as an EQUIPMENT SUPPLIER of all orgs i couldnt help but laugh they were SLAVING those techs man

The work culture diff between the floor and the office must be INSANE for them to maintain those yields

This post on r/semiconductors is fucking hilarious and i 100% believe its true

Everyone i know that came in industry same time as me heard the horror stories of the 2021 TSMC American class

Every exTSMC guy from my hiring era (Spring-Summer 2021) has the same story
