Doing this while not properly allocating the astronomical amount of funding that the semiconductor industry would need in the US is in-character and hilariously foolish.

The US could do so much for the world/themselves if they’d just invest in open source RISC-V manufacturing and R&D inside of the US. But they only understand corporatist-style handouts and amasssing warchests of proprietary technology. It’s even more shortsighted than shipping your manufacturing overseas and having an enemy nation manufacture all of your critical tech hardware while foolishly glossing over the security ramifications of that plan.

College kids.

That reminds me of this story from years back:

One time, I was walking down the street minding my own business. These chuds started throwing snowballs at me from a distant rooftop. You can imagine their surprise when I not only picked up a snowball and returned fire… but I also managed to hit one of them square in the face from what they probably thought was an impossible distance (I was at the bottom of a hill and they were on a rooftop up the hill from me). It was a lucky throw but I walked away feeling like such a badass.

Obviously, this probably sounds like a fake story where everyone clapped at the end but I swear on the ghost of Stalin that it’s 100% true. You gotta believe me! I have an absolute cannon for an arm.

Thank you for reading my anecdote.
