I'm stoned and noticed my desktop wallpaper lined up with the video's graph

Today I learned that saltpeter (potassium nitrate) doesn't cause erectile dysfunction like some guy at a ren faire told me. I will now baselessly conjecture that the guys who mined it in Chile between 1860 and 1919 were probably majority childless because they were gay, not because their dicks didn't work

Last movie: director's cut of The Little Shop of Horrors that has the apocalyptic ending. apparently i haven't really watched a movie since 2019

Currently reading: @eyeofpsyche recommended some books about Jung (Jung - The Key Ideas by Ruth Snowden and The Essential Jung by John Beebe but lately i've been swamped with work + school. earlier this year i was reading Big Dead Place because Antarctica is strange and miserable and Malleus Maleficarum to better understand a Euro-medieval/early modern notion of the supernatural. i skimmed through a bunch of Ekirch's At Day's Close - Night in Times Past for a course over the summer

Sweet/spicy/savory: food isn't really a thing for me. ask me when i have more money

Relationship status: the person i talk to the most online is someone that i don't even use words with

Current obsessions: i had a week where i was looking at weird things to do with Windows 3 and trying out linux distros in a virtual machine

Last googled: i was trying to find a magazine cover from the early/mid 90s that depicted a man wearing unusual shoes in a photo-realistic style and it was intended to illustrate how developments in digital image manipulation had made the notion of "the camera never lies" obsolete

Currently working on: lab report busywork for a microbio course, or i spent nearly all day setting up a biochemistry lab which involved making a lot of 1% solutions of a variety of amino acids

anyone that follows me that wants to do this feel free to have a go at it

Canon Nanoimprint Lithography

Update, 2 days later: And of course Asianometry had already made an hour-long deep-dive video into the microchip-fabricating technology, which will in short quite possibly challenge TSMC's global near-monopoly on the industry.

I actually like the PERUN channel on youtube because they're surprisingly objective and level-headed especially especially compared to other war commentators. They're basically the military Asianometry to me

[mceajc]

What coincidental timing that Asianometry just produced a youtube video about the rise and fall of Compaq.

Oh yes 😈👅

Early Silicon Valley tech founders were insane and anthropologically worth documenting

Nice reaction comment to Asianometry latest video

The context of this video, this comment and this thread is key: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlAWx_X5opA&lc=Ugx5-99kJi09-yHqi954AaABAg.9fSO9G4W5Nl9fXPGf0yji-

 @Asianometry  Fair question comrade, it is quite hard to find great answers to such queries. But as a 24yo autistic enthusiast deeply invested into all things technologies, especially preserving living use of retro technologies and surronding matters, I think there is a decent share of suggestions for me to propose in here or at least attempt my hand at the computing hardware business of things. I don't own the full truth over the matter so consider my take with a grain of salt as well Given what I perceive from recent history (1910-~) and the current global context (2022), I do think this deep problematic indeed starts from the global cultural norms over late stage capitalism-style rigid mentalities or at least the ways such goals are decided and implemented. Specifically the way there is a huge expanding social debt from many higher ups of our current global economy (often baby boomers-style of rich people) as of rn towards the lower classes (Gen Z, Millenials and other types of poorer people) as far as seeing authorities in the field blocking or at least slowing down by much the initatives of fresher minds in the field. I would seriously recommend anybody who wants to step up the technological game to compete themselves in such a computing hardware space, especially as I have my very own plans over such by myself because of how little I personally trust such aging authorities to adapt to our current reality that fast and in competitive manners due to their sheer size. I do hope such agencies do take action to constructively reward employees in more means than bare money (even with the same hours and same pay, there are many ways to attract and assure younger employees like me don't leave the field entirely, listening to our suggestons/concerns/recommendations, ask questions and enact constructive measures to upgrade the power employee payment game with full expertise is a epic first step forwards to lessen the negatives of this field), just like many other fields' in this era deserves as well but you know, I have legitimate doubts over such old rich people giving us such because they simply want easy and shorter-term profits than we are in for. I do dare to enact such even if my tech stack I am suggesting soon is less profound than the exact complexity tier of contemporary VLSI around firms like TSMC and similar names, because of all the changes I would like to put a new emphasis onto and other empowering/idiosyncratic objectives I got for my personal computing system project I prepare for around 2025. Quite like how this modern domain became way more accessible to developers thanks to the traitrous eight's efforts under Fairchild Semiconductors and subsequent Fairchildren, I sure am planning ahead as to push a relatively similar style of technical progress market-wide update by doing much under my tiny scale. I do not aim to promote my specific project here, if you want more of such, you can go to my Tumblr personal blog where I discuss of such topics in more details as I go along in my technical journey by myself. By the way, keep up the good work @Asianometry and let's build the type of world Gen Z & Millenials are asking for. Farewell to you all as well internet comrades.

Just letting you know about such in plain terms.

There really isn't much significance. I saw it on an asianometry video about the history of lithography and thought it was a funny image and decided to make it my pfp on discord and then recently I decided to make them the same image.
