None of that is true. Grow up and learn how to understand and rate journalism. Start with Appling the spj code of ethics to media.
" Anyone who defends that is off the deep end self-deluding and in full on denial of reality. "
So you post a factual incorrect statement then call anyone with facts delusional. JFC, take some actual media course. Like, in a class room.

That's actually not true at all. Please tell me how many American FDR called evil? Literally one of the, if not the most socialist president whose social programs led to American become a technological and industrial power house.

American modern conservatives primary planks are to take rights away from marginalized group; which s fucking evil.

Get over yourself and read some books.

Quick public service announcement. If you own any laser pointers, especially ones purchased from less regulated suppliers that might have a higher output level than specified, please be careful that you don't shine these around or into the camera lens. It could cause accidental damage to the internal sensors.

Marc Andreessen, co-founder of early web titan Netscape, perhaps started this trend in 2023 with a 5,000-word essay he called "The Techno-Optimist Manifesto", which argued innovation was the way to solve life's problems...

He's right, innovation is the best way. But neither he nor Mark Zucklefuck or any of the other corrupt idiots is actually doing anything that even remotely qualifies as "innovation".

Comment Re:Working with "DEF CON" (Score 3, Interesting) 13

Hello,

They likely already have them.

My local DEF CON group is composed mostly of active-duty military and defense contractors, many of whom have jobs that require TS/SCI and polygraph. Unsurprisingly, a lot of the discussions in the group revolve around getting CPEs and maintaining certifications.

This was a surprise to me when I started going to monthly meetings a couple of years ago, but in retrospect is probably more of the norm than an outlier: Hacking has gone from a niche subculture into a multi-billion dollar computer security industry, not just having to deal with 1980's cyberpunk threats like corporate espionage but a part of military doctrine for nation-states. It makes sense that the jobs, and the people who do them, followed those paths as well.

1) "smaller" = "Bigger" (in terms of sales, and modern utility. This is exactly what I meant, UV Light has a threshold over which the structures are smaller than the wavelengths you are trying to use to make them. this means you have to use some kind of mask technology, and you get strange quantum effects from the photons doing things photons do when they are restricted by tiny masks.

2) You are forgetting something here, to make a tortured inference that doesnt really fit anyway. Most of the technology used in a fab is either precision electronics (needed to control the energizing source's true positioning to efficiently control its beam), which you can do with less sophisticated chips than the ones you are making. The inverse creates a chicken and egg problem, and is nonsense. You dont need 2nm tech to make 2nm tech. You can make 2nm chips with 14nm ones though. The knowledge of how to make and run fab machines is not to be discredited-- Japan's big LED rise came from a single guy repeatedly rebuilding and tinkering with a vapor deposition machine at a university in the US, where he was treated like ass, because he didn;t have a pHD. DO NOT MAKE THAT MISTAKE TOO.

3) It is not a breakthrough. It's a milestone on independent progress that is occurring at a very quick pace. Again, you are proudly crowing about how big your old growth forest is, while discounting how quickly your competition is doing forestry work.

Correct. The correct response is to massively build out the west's capabilities, and drive down china's market cornering potential.

the problem is that the western countries seem hell bent on doing this the most grift-heavy ways possible, sabotaging every effort, and then wondering why none of those efforts actually produced useful chipfabs--- (at least on one side of the coin)

While simultaneously nodding cheekily to the above, siphoning off every last dollar of grift, purposefully refusing to create local chipfabs (because western workers are too expensive! OUR PROFITS!), and pretending that technological gatekeeping and effective monopolies on supplies are in any tangible way feasible. (On the other.)

China's advancements might be small, but they are meaningful.

Ours? Look big on paper, but mostly just waste time.

I seem to remember a fable about a tortoise and a rabbit written by some greek guy.... Maybe it's my imagination.

UV has a top limit, sure. But homegrowing that tech expands what they can do *now*, builds local knowhow on building fab machines, and primes them to not be as stymied when they move on to building more recent forms of lithography. (You cannot cut off their supply of asics to prevent the manufacture of better fabs)

You kids cant see the forest for the trees, complaining about the saplings china is planting being small, while croaking pridefully about how big your own trees are.

In time, china will dominate chipfab.
