Never sounded so good.

The transistors aren't actually smaller. They fit more of them in the same 2 dimensional area by using layers. The layers are the Z dimension. The thermals are an interesting question.

The transistors aren't actually smaller. It's standard in the field to market the next chip generation as a smaller size when they mean equivalent to the new size. In this case the transistors are stacked vertically so looking down you get layers X areal density of the 2 dimensional surface. We don't do this with flash stacks, which now have up to 321 layers and are mapped to 1000+.

The angstrom scale business is marketing fluff to make the density increase understandable to consumers. But this is one of the developments leveraging the Z dimension that are legitimate progress. The Z dimension gives more than just the same chip folded like origami. The net distance traveled by a signal in a cycle can be reduced, which yields massive improvement in performance without additional cost of power/heat.

Welcome to 1995.

Might as well spread the joy around developing challengers (not like that!). It's not like the prime mover in New Space is going to need any part of NASA's whopping $40b annual budget.

Selling your body scans as a VR skin. AI enhanced, naturally.

We're going to Mars. This is unstoppable money now. They raised three years of NASA budget in one day, becoming worth more as a company than the accumulated total budget of NASA since inception, adjusted for inflation.

Apparently they're homeless because Microsoft didn't pay out so getting out more is probably the last thing on their mind since mission accomplished - they're outside already.

Also, frist psot. Been a long time since the last one..

Super El Niño, AMOC shutting down. Mauna Loa CO2 shutting down reporting 432 PPM before we shut them up. The mighty Colorado river died. We drank it up. India has been over 95F for months, and parts are becoming uninhabitable reaching 114F.

Dinosaurs had 165 million years. Sea turtles 260 million. Genus Homo, 2 million. Sentience may be self defeating, which solves the Fermi Paradox.

If they had some super powerful analysis and synthesis computer that solves problems for them, would it be able to sort this out?

This is a threat of referral to criminal prosecution. Criminal prosecution is a government, not personal or corporate activity. What I say here is that such threats are empty.

People do get that wrong a lot though. Apparently even Microsoft, the FBI and US Attorneys these days.
