I’ve been looking into producing Semiconductor Grade Silicone Powder but I haven’t been able to decide between the Plasma, CVD, or more traditional furnace with reduction agent methods without knowing their operational costs. It would be kind of out of my price range to test each of them.

I can run some basic numbers if anybody knows a good industrial catalogue for the equipment.

EDIT: To clarify, I’m supporting the idea that the UK ignore Trump’s ultimatum. Like “Oh no, you’re saying we have to listen to your demands or be tarriffed? Anyways…”

NGL, given how well AI is doing in other fields this sounds like it’ll do more harm than help to their efforts.

Unless it’s an actually competently made machine learning which highlights specific suspicious movements and not any sort of large model.

Definitely not a surprise that the piece of shit Sundar Pichai is working with Trump, though. He attended the Inauguration alongside Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc.

Nice! Good for them.

If anybody is paralyzed it might be Sk and Japan but SK is already jumping ship and trading with China, now.

Well. The bridge took some damage in the previous Trump admin as well.

I think far too many people forgot those times.

The advertisers could be paying based on interactions and/or their rates could be negotiated around interaction, so unless a sizeable number of people use this it would be giving money to Goog

Doesn’t like 90% of Mozilla’s funding come from Google? At least expanding their paid services could be seen as trying to turn that around.

I foresee a non-zero chance that this could backfire and their new ever-expanding military budget gets used on smaller weaker nations and then as an excuse to divert funding away from services that people actually rely on.

That guy was in 1895, which is a hundred years after Ben Franklin suggested it, but neither of them were responsible because it wasn’t adopted until the early 20th century in Canada, Germany, Austria, and the USA roughly in that order.

Wasn’t DST invented in America? How did it even get adopted by the EU?

I’m also seeing that it was formerly used in Russia, India, South America, and some parts of Africa, and it is still used in 4/5ths of Canada and 1/3 of Australia.
