Yeah, they announced they’re basically killing science funding yesterday (for everything except like AI and a few other buzzword topics)

We have a couple good cs universities right now, I really hope that’s still true in four years

I would get discord, youtube, lemmy, and reddit

I try to avoid new platforms tho bc I don’t trust myself not to get addicted and social media already takes up too much of my time

As an American, cutting edge tech manufacturing isn’t something we do much of. In semiconductors for example, Intel is currently still working on their new node (probably made in the US and Isreal), but new Intel CPUs you buy are going to be tsmc made until then. And AMD and Nvidia, apple, etc are all making their chips at TSMC as well

A lot of tech companies are US based, but very little of the actual production process is done in the US. I guess that doesn’t matter if you just care about the money going to the US though, since buying an Nvidia made chip will still give money to the (us-based) company.
