Moore's Law Is Dead

Not according to Defoe...

I was working that day in the South Building.

And I’m working today in the organization called SVA, or what used to be known as National Semiconductor.

Gotten to the point that I hope Moores Law stops.

AI is around the corner, Super AI happens months after that, humans stop existing hours after that.

"Do you suppose such a thing could be done by an amateur? "

No.

"Tough argument to refute. I'm assuming they are including Jewish contributions as "White." Pound for pound, Jews punch way out of their weight class in Science and Inventions. "

They should, they're the highest IQ group of people in the world.

The Ashkenazi Jews are the highest amoungst the Jews. Eighty percent of the Jewish immigrants to this country are Ashkenazi Jews.

[DiogenesLamp]

No.

Rather succinct. I was hoping for a bit more elaboration. I wasn't talking about building million transistor devices, I was thinking something more along the lines of devices with 20 or so.

Simple gate circuits, individual transistors and such.

But i'll take your word for it. I have plenty too many projects I have to work on already.

I knew that.

I did not know that.

"I was working that day in the South Building."

There was one building then on San Ysidro. I was told I was employee #54. No badges or company ID...everyone knew everyone else.

Sorry

Years ago I considered starting something like the JC Whitney of chips.

Semiconductor manufacturing equipment becomes obsolete very fast and there is always an abundance of old equipment available.
My intent was to build old chips on old equipment, cheaply because there was a time (maybe still so) when people were throwing away good equipment because the chip for it was no longer available.

Frankly, there was just no time...I was always 'running' just to keep up with the fast pace. One morning I woke up and I was old, LOL.

Maybe you could use that idea and build some old chips, eh?

That's an idea. I have no delusions about building fancy microprocessors, but gates, op-amps and transistors might be doable. Where might I find some of this equipment and what sort of costs are we looking at?

I am currently in the mood to spend some money if the purpose is sufficiently worthwhile.

[FreedomPoster]

That’s good stuff. I shall bookmark it, and post it anytime I see an idiot bemoaning white guilt, which I always interpret as white competence, BTW.

[FreedomPoster]

A rogue, even. No makeup required.

Here?
(I haven't been there in over 20 years)

They taunt "white men" because they are such a strong force to be reckoned with. I really do not think this game is going to work out for them so well as they think it will.

[DiogenesLamp]

Wow. That's cool. I'm going to look through their stuff and see what they've got. So far I don't see any prices though.

[ADemocratNoMore]

You might want to look into PAL. Programmable Array Logic chaps can be made to do (emulate?) all sorts of circuits. If I recall properly somebody built an Amiga 500 on a joystick using PAL and it sold for about $20.

To follow my last post, the lady's name is Jeri Ellsworth. Check out some of the links on her wiki page, she has written on home brew semiconductors and ic’s. Also, the machine in question was a c64, built using FPGA’s.

[oblomov]

A scanning electron microscope could come in handy.

Humans don’t stop existing...our new robotic overlords are going to need pets.

[Ventilator on]

After the events of last week, who needs humans any more, I ask?!
