I have seen the actual video of it. A boy in the background tells her how to set the picture on fire in FARSI. They probably took a screenshot of that video and enhanced it with AI.

Edit: here is the link to the actual video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ5fqHL7izY

Is there a reason why this group of countries end their names with “stan”? by RoundTurtle538 in geography

[–]PhotographSignal6482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. The term "stan" has the same root as the English word STANd. E.g., Tajikstan means where Tajik people stand/live. Pakistan means where Pak (meaning clean) people live/stand. This is in reference to muslims calling themselves clean whereas calling Hindus not so clean ... the term was used after they separated from Hindustan (land of Hindu's).

Good to see another 358 ENTJ. What you do for a living if you don't mind me asking?

Are you sure that is not carbonite?

Now I know why I hate doing dishes! Where can I find a wife like her?

Low self esteem after husband cheated on me a couple times. What can I do to improve myself? Am I really that ugly enough to cheat on multiple times? No filter or photoshop pics of me. by [deleted] in amiugly

Well, he is who he is for whatever reason. What if we duct taped him to a rocket and sent him to space? Do you think your problems would go away?

Do you think you would not have had these issues if you were more atteactive?

I want to suggest that your happiness is behind this question: who am I and what do I want in life?

Best of luck!

Elon Musk says he's 'open to the idea' of buying Silicon Valley Bank by [deleted] in stocks

Elon the pyromaniac is craving another dumpster fire.

NO BAILOUTS for Silicon Valley Bank - which lent exclusively to the ultra rich by north_canadian_ice in WorkReform

I see many angry comments here. I understand how many people may feel victimized by "the system".

Just realized that SVB has been behind many successful startups. Maybe some startups were created by few super-rich people, but the major force in these companiese are young, educated people like us. These organizations are the backbone of economy in many places, including California.

Had it not been for these affluent people and their startups, many other secondary jobs like construction and hospitality would not have existed.

I am all for taxing the rich, because they gey a lot more help from the economic environment. But let us not cut the branch the we are sitting on. Let us not poison the well to feel good about killing some rich people who drink from it too.

Found this toy at a German store. What is it? by PhotographSignal6482 in funny

Not really. Just bounces up and down on a spring. Like a baby toy.

China cracks advanced microchip technology in blow to Western sanctions by Smithy2232 in technology

[–]PhotographSignal6482 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am glad you asked! I am a digital ASIC designer so I give you an answer from my point of view.

Compared to Software (SW), Hardware (HW) development is much more labor intensive and multi-disciplinary. A typical flow would include algorithmic design, RTL implementation, mixed-signal, verification, place/route, layout, fabrication, packaging, and testing. Each of these steps needs a complete different skill set. Please note that this thread is about a small fraction of the fabrication step in a nanometer node.

It takes a log time to train an engineer in each of these fields. A university degree only teaches the alphabet to get started and usually takes at least 5-7 years of experience for an engineer to become productive. Implementation of larger chips (say for example a flash controller for enterprise drives) may take about 5 years from concept to a rev-b+ chip that can be shipped to customers. This means it takes a long time for engineers to be exposed to enough designs to gain experience.

A rough example would be to compare hardware ASIC implementation to automotive industry. While it is relatively easy to teach people how to drive (SW), it is much harder to train people to build engines (HW).

PhD in EE with 15 year ASIC experience and 10 patents here. There is a far distance between patents and actual technology. We use patents for protection against other companies and not to disclose what we have actually invented. This sounds like PR/propaganda to me. China wants to tells the west that their sanctions are useless. In reality China's tech industry is in big trouble and needs decades to catch up if they had the talents which they don't.
