well, their chips are coming out of a foundry after all...

Not sure about the assembly of small electronics. It looks like that's still a fairly hands-on, manual process.

One of the barriers to automating the assembly of commodity microelectronics is that the revisions iterate fairly quickly. It's difficult to build an automated assembly line that can handle those changes. It usually just ends up being easier to have a person do that assembly work if the product is going to change in a few months and it would take a couple of months to retool for the change.

A broken clock might be right a couple of times a day.

Unless of course someone rips the hands off. Or if it's a digital clock that simply doesn't display anything. Or probably for a bunch of other possible reasons.

MTBF calculations are a bit of a scam in of themselves.

Don't bother. You are talking to one of those cretins that think anything they do not understand is easy. And that, of course, they never have to prove anything, because they are right by default.
 

Well. Yes. And no. What I predict is that the field will split into amateurs and engineers and the distinction will become blatantly obvious.

...is normally preferred with a good, crisp apple.

True.

Speak for yourself.

Maybe foldable screens are not a good idea at this time?

You might steal a trailer that is full of nickels. But now you need to somehow get rid of $50K worth of nickels.
There was a case in Germany, when silver prices exploded, and the 5 Mark (at that time a about $1.50 - the Dollar was pretty high, in our times Euro 2,50 - but by inflation perhaps only Euro 1), that count had about 65% silver.
People started to horde the coins to smelt them ... it pretty quickly lead to a replacement of those coins. I mean: a new kind of coin, mostly nickel, was introduced.

If you had a 2 or 3 yards wide TV monitor, with 24Hz refresh rate.
Watching tennis would be a pain.

The ball would jump in 5 inch (or more) jumps from left to right, and back.

With 120Hz or more, the ball flies in a curved, but connected, line.

The old mantra: a human eye can not distinguish reality from a 24Hz frame rate, is only true, if nothing particular interesting is happening in the 24Hz frame rate.

In a computer game, you anticipate where to shot at, for example. And that is based on your "perception". If you have a framerate, that deceives your perception, you are never able to aim accurately. Which basically boils down to: your accuracy does not matter. That is pretty odd, or? You aim as accurate as human possible: but the target is not there, because the refresh rate blurred it out of the cross hair.

Not sure what your point is.

If I click in the IDE: "refactor, extract method", it does exactly what I want.

I consider myself capable to tell an AI tool what to do. And I see instantly, after it is done: if it did what I wanted or did something else. Then you say: revert.

No, you vote for a position in alignment with you, not a person.
Nope.
Neither in Brazil nor France, you vote for some "alignment", you vote for a person.

Yes. That is my point. And in my example I mentioned THREE not two.
Did not look like 3 to me.

least some effort into understanding what someone wrote before *checks notes* saying their explanation sucks
You have a point :D

Oh, you do not mean yield.
Youn mean total harvest.

Obviously when more area is planted, there is more harvested.

Yield usually refers to yield per unit of land area. And that did not increase, but decrease.
