[查百万 @chakmillion]

一台制造 2 纳米芯片的最新一代 ASML 高数值孔径极紫外光刻机（High-NA EUV），单台售价高达 3.5 亿欧元，但它根本没办法整机发货。

这台机器由全球十万个零件拼成，重达 150 到 180 吨。每次从荷兰埃因霍温发往台积电或英特尔工厂，工程师必须先把它拆解装进 40 个特制恒温恒湿充氮集装箱，动用 20 辆重型气垫卡车 和整整 3 到 4 架波音 747 全货机 才能运走！

运输全程最怕的不是刮风下雨，而是“微米级震动”： 光刻机内部的德国蔡司（Zeiss）反射镜，表面打磨平整度达到了人类物理学的极限。如果把这块镜子等比例放大到整个德国国土那么大，上面最高的起伏凸起不超过 1 毫米！

所以装光刻机的货机地板和卡车底盘全部装有主动空气弹簧减震器，箱内贴满高灵敏度三维加速度传感器；一旦途中某次刹车或气流颠簸超出了规定的 G 值红线，哪怕外表毫发无损，落地后两百名工程师重新调校纳米光路就要多花整整 3 到 6 个月！

In January 1992, computer science professor Andrew Tanenbaum started a famous Usenet argument with 22-year-old Linus Torvalds.

His post was titled "LINUX is obsolete."

Tanenbaum argued that Linux's monolithic kernel was a fundamental design mistake.

He even told Torvalds:

"Be thankful you are not my student. You would not get a high grade for such a design."

34 years later, every single machine on the TOP500 supercomputer list runs Linux.

Not bad for an obsolete student project.

If you notice deep enough, no one actually wants you to win.

Sundar, Sundar, my friend, with respect, a benchmark table is not a comeback.

You invented the transformer. You had DeepMind, TPUs, YouTube, Search, Android, Gmail, and 3 billion Chrome users before anyone outside SF knew what an LLM was.

You had every advantage a company could have.

And yet in late 2026, when a developer opens a terminal, it isn’t Gemini. When a founder builds an agent, it isn’t Gemini. When my non-tech friends say “I asked the AI,” they don’t mean Gemini.

That’s the scoreboard that matters, and Google is losing it.

@AnandaniNisha You guys are using more than one passwords 😭

Found a sharp piece of METAL embedded inside an Amul Butter Cookie while eating it.

Extremely disappointed with the complete lack of quality control.

Please look into this immediately.

Manifesting a complete mastery in Linux Systems Programming.

Wanna build and break cool stuff.

Can @neuralink let me directly talk to @elonmusk using my thoughts? 😂

Can it influence/change our perspectives?

Enjoy you life till you're 20. After that you'll spend the rest of your days figuring out what life really is.

If you look into a deeper level, no one is actually rooting for you.

People asking stupid questions on X for clout is so low IQ.

Interesting

[trish @TrisH0x2A]

in his Turing Award lecture, Ken Thompson showed how a C compiler could inject a backdoor into login and hide the attack from its own source code

the compiler itself becomes the backdoor, leaving no trace in the source

All this avoidance was once love.
Now it's just self hatred.
