The challenge is that in reality you have to keep making the choice. Nothing changes with one grand proclamation. Maybe it starts there, but it means nothing without backing it up with hundreds of other choices.

I know one personal challenge I am working on is judging myself by my best day. Everyone has variance of capability day to day. Beating myself up because everyday isn’t my best day is silly.

It also makes sense if they are on calling the entire computer “the hard drive” like grandma and the fans kicked on.

Seems unlikely. Seems more likely it could be a medical expense if you have a prescription.

I think ASML can kinda do what they want. My understanding is that they make the cutting edge fab equipment. So if the US gov tries to play hardball, ASML can just sell their stuff to other countries.

I understand it is normal human behavior to focus on negative things and an evolved survival trait. But it is kind of sad that no answers have any positive thoughts about the future. So I will try one:

Computer and robotic technology will improve and get cheaper. It will become feasible for home bound people to be able to have some sort of participation in society through telepresence.

If your mean the next big architecture, sure. If your meaning literal cores, they still have a long way to go. I’m sure they will have competitive performance eventually, but not real soon.
