Agree here, chem may be more complex than language, and not as definable as language. I think this is the realm that physical ai will overlap with.

This is a fantastic option when the only other viable option is to get them a phone. They can text parents, they can be tracked, but they can’t watch stupid YouTube or TikTok videos, and they can’t participate in 95% of the stuff that harms kids at that age.

What’s become the “irresponsible norm” is to not give your kids a phone, which is crazy, because it’s just giving tech companies the ability to manipulate kids.

No, this is false. Many of the people mentioned were born here.

Chang came because of education and stayed because of communist oppression and lack of opportunity at home. As racist as Texas was at the time, it was still better than going back to China, which is why he stayed.

Andy Grove endured the Nazis in Europe and the was almost killed by the Communists in Europe. His mother was raped and hunted by both. Tell me again why he came for the taxes?

I don’t follow your logic. There were racists in America, many. Some went to go fight to free Europe, and behaved racist there. So therefore we should not be proud of inventing the semiconductor? Did I follow your correctly here?

Thanks, it’s a valid question. And certainly semiconductors is an international game at this point, I make that clear at the end of the talk.

Once the engineering was established, we were quick to take the production abroad. But the 0-1 moments mostly happened in the United States. And could not have happened anywhere else.

And even though the individual points don’t connect elegantly, I still think america is an amazing place that produces the most amazing ideas and things.

Thank you! And Schottky was a good catch, and there are a few European scientists I’m not paying appropriate homage to, for sure. I had to cut a lot to get this down to a 30 minute talk, to native Kazakh speakers, so I definitely tightened up a lot. I will go back and read on Schottky again.
