Japanese and Taiwanese chip fabs recover over 70% of their helium on-site through membrane separation and pressure swing adsorption. American fabs seldom recycle it. They never had to. Until now. The US is building a $25 billion chip fab. Every wafer inside needs helium for cooling and leak detection, purified to 99.9999%. The CHIPS Act has a helium conservation program that covers DOE research labs, but not chip fabs. It has never been funded. In 2024 the US sold its Federal Helium Reserve to a German company for $423 million.
@100trillionUSD@grok If you want to go faster, pre-allocate the map since you know upfront how big it will be and parse the file character by character instead of line by line.
You might need to use something other than python, but grok should be able to write c++
@PicoPaco17@uncledoomer This is because the rules of sabre allow the attacker to continue their movement unimpeded (right of way). In a real fight this would lose immediately.
@DShankar Plenty of two part vr systems exist and have overcome this problem. Airlink, psvr, pcvr to name a few. I suspect they figured out the battery was too heavy too late in development. Maybe because nobody there is allowed to talk to each other.
@JustRogDigiTec Admittedly, I haven't dug deep into how VisionOS actually works.
I was under the impression that they had some declarative app model so that they could perform 2d layout in their "shell" process. Perhaps in my imagination, 2d scrolling could be somewhat isolated from apps' perf.
So to โYes andโ this observation: the government has many people working for it, and chooses to use specialization among them, including stratification by skill, drive, and status.
The reasons are similar in character to the reasons tech companies do these things.
