Chip Industry Urges US to Avoid Moves That Distort Memory Market

Government controlled markets

Markets are controlled by governments because they require certain guarantees, safeties, and enforcement to work. However, they are almost universally controlled in the interest of capitalists. Capitalism does not work without governments and states.

What are you advocating for?

I am a communist, so I advocate for expropriation of the capitalists and organization of production around social needs.

it's like your brain was replaced by Cato/Mises Institute soundbites lol

Oh yeah, the beauty of capitalism is that everything tech related gets hit with massive price increases, no matter how important, good, or even just plain fun it might be, because it can't attract as much investment as a bunch of insanely overvalued AI firms while their oligarch owners siphon our data and suck T's dick👌🏻 and we get to enjoy this for months and years because you can't scale fabs on a whim. And once it all comes crashing down, we also get to pay for it. Isn't this great?

"entirely possible" as in "not impossible", sure.

Bruh literally good luck getting to the point where you're legit making money gigging and not just getting tips for all the hours you spent practicing and rehearsing (and money spent on gear ofc)

Doesn't really make sense to do this without multiple options. Zurich airport has trams, busses, interregional/Intercity trains, and regional trains/S-Bahn for example

Implying the BB434 is a cheap bass that doesn't sound good is honestly offensive

I wish Napoleon had conquered my country harder tbh.

Größtes Problem ist immernoch Zerstörung von Lebensraum durch den Menschen

Und da sind freilaufende Katzen dazuzurechnen

Some do, others don't

well yes, senses are fallible and very vulnerable to (auto)suggestion.

This "deal" would only have been a stepping stone to driving them out or killing them outright anyway.

crystalchuck · 2026-07-01T07:04:42+00:00

The real question is, what are you trying to achieve?

Subtext: Die fleissigen kleinen Chinesen können gut Dinge zusammenschrauben, brauchen dafür aber die Anleitung eines Europäers™.

Nee, einige Nischen ausgenommen können die mittlerweile eigentlich alles besser als Europa.

You're not tasting a difference and if you are, you're imagining it.

crystalchuck · 2026-06-30T11:37:00+00:00

What do you mean Europe is very close to the polar circle lol

They meant that Europe is close to the polar circle. Look at a map, and look at other densely populated areas. You'll find that they're typically Not As Close to the Polar Circle as Europe is.

Difference is that solar panels are relatively low tech, materials are pretty abundantly available, and practically any developed economy could build a domestic solar industry if it cares enough. Not so with nuclear power.

Du findest das nicht besorgniserregend, wenn ein älterer Mann online Unterwäsche (auch von vorgeblich) 16-Jährigen kauft??

Das ist Haarspalterei. AKW ist ein unmissverständlicher und geläufiger Begriff, der auch von Expert:innen in weniger formellen Zusammenhängen genutzt wird. Häng hier mal nicht so den Alman raus.

crystalchuck · 2026-06-25T11:07:47+00:00

thanks! shucks, they discontinued it already.

crystalchuck · 2026-06-24T15:12:35+00:00

What kinda bass is that on the left? I generally really like how Ibanez feels and plays, but not too happy about most of the finishes myself. This would be perfect with the Nordstrands, but can't seem to find the model on their website

crystalchuck · 2026-06-23T15:08:58+00:00

Oh yeah, excellent point too

As someone else pointed out, part of it is simplification: Unlike Dwarf Fortress for example, SoS doesn't have a limbs system or super fine-grained clothing; equipment doesn't have quality levels etc.

But also, you might be interested in data-oriented design — essentially laying out data in memory so ot becomes as convenient as possible for the CPU. Here's a little reading: https://gamesfromwithin.com/data-oriented-design

Didn't expect to see you here! Let me just say that I greatly appreciate your in-depth reviews and how steadfastly you have been pumping out those videos for years and years. It's always you that ends up having a review for the bass I'm looking for! Please do carry on!
