"an investment that's paid back in lives saved"

If it's an investment, then we should be able to compute the return on that investment.

For public policy purposes, a life is currently valued at around $10 million. There are around 16 million new vehicles sold in the US per year. Therefore, we will have a positive return if the marginal cost is less than $0.63 per vehicle per life saved to install an AM radio and any necessary shielding.

What stands out to me that we hear from broadcasters, from manufacturers, from professors of communications, but we get nothing from anyone in the field of public health policy who are the people who would actually have the relevant data to prove the return on your claimed investment.

(As a comparison, mandatory seatbelt installation in cars cost around $100 per vehicle. Seatbelts are estimated to save 14,000 lives per year. That gives an ROI around 87.5x. That's an incredible bargain.)

" You can make DRAM at pretty much any of them"

Absolutely not. A DRAM process is quite different from a logic process. Most importantly, you need a big capacitance that only takes the planar area comparable to a transistor since you need one of each for every bitcell, but that isn't the only consideration. You also need a transistor for that bitcell that's low leakage so that there's time between reads to do refreshes but still need to make fast enough devices to build the build the logic around the arrays.

" Intel is contemplating it."

Intel is contemplating leasing space to Hynix to do it in buildings that Intel has been delaying construction since they don't have enough demand to justify spending the money to equip the lines for their own processes. Intel hasn't been able to make DRAM for 40 years.

"You, literally you, can ring up someone who runs a contract fab and ask them to make you some DRAM."

What DRAM fab do you think has unsold capacity?

"Here's a YouTuber making some in his garage"
He made a 20 bit array. It isn't even packaged. You can't use that for anything.

"CXMT is firing up"

CXMT is fully subscribed through 2027.

"There is no incentive for any of the DRAM produces to ramp up production. "

There's half a trillion dollars of new DRAM fabs *already* under construction.

-1, unactionable

The problem *without* benchmarks is that you have no idea how to compare anything to anything and you are left with the combinatorial explosion of trying every model with every task that you have.

" easy to convert"

Clearly, my apartment building should have a railroad siding.

On the upside, through destructive testing we now have a datapoint on the effectiveness of civilian harm mitigation.

"there is no implied obligation to keep making it faster or more powerful"

That's why they don't allege slowing or lack of improvement as a cause of action, they allege collusion. Slowing or lack of improvement might be a overt act used to prove collusion, but is neither sufficient nor necessary to that proof.

The constitutional question that the 13th amendment adresses is overriding state's rights to decide if slavery was not a crime, otherwise the Federal legislature could have just passed a law criminalizing slavery.

"non-malicious" is not a synonym for "incompetent".

Why do you think it is the wrong thing?

The marginal cost of a billion transistors on a mature node is about five cents.

The marginal cost of free time for someone skilled enough to program this hardware is at least $1 per minute.

If using a compiled Python and throwing devices at the problem can save you at least one minute for every twenty instances you deploy, you're ahead.

"They turned it into a video codec system that encodes video on the PC, streams that to the device, and the device decodes it and then displays it."

What kind of system do you think *doesn't* involve encoding and decoding, other than magic?

Appealing to the Supreme Court will only cost you a used RV.

He took the liabilities from custodial accounts held by the company and commingled them with assets of the company itself. It doesn't matter if the investments he then made were sound because he was not entitled to use the custodial accounts in that way.

If you drive off in someone else's car and put it back afterwards, that is still joyriding regardless of any purpose you had in taking the car. (Yes, I know the analogy is not perfect because there is some depreciation of the value of the car due to use.)
