I was looking at the stock performance of Semiconductors today and they’re pretty much all green except for Intel. Why? Because they’ve all announced plans to invest in the US (even though they probably won’t ever make good on their commitments). That buys them an exception to the tariffs. So it’s pretty much a 100% tariff on no major player. Intel was down because Tom Cotton and now Trump are attacking their new CEO Lip Bu Tan who has a long successful track record in the industry but has Chinese investments which they think somehow implicates him or creates a national security risk even though TSMC is ahead of Intel in fab capability. Anyway the point is this is just rhetorical grand standing with no serious impact.

Sounds like a desperate tactic to show value to investors who are skeptical of all the insane level of cap ex… not to mention all the customers who don’t want to pay for this garbage

How does one build a scanner to detect anomalies consistent with IMSI catchers?

Exactly this. LLMs are already bad at answering questions about very old technology, and I assume they are equally bad at answering questions about very new technology. Also bad at answering questions that have never been asked. We’re doomed.

Not only do I completely agree with this, I am blown away that schools aren’t actually using paper textbooks anymore. I only recently woke up to this lazy new way of teaching. I don’t want my children even using devices at all for any purpose, let alone being required to use them for schoolwork. What the fuck kind of society are we creating?
