  unreal that humans have figured this out - not even just the chip building but building the whole factory building all the different machines. its truly a miracle

  what&apos;s more insane is that the purest silicon comes from one single mine in Spruce Pine North Carolina.

  TSMC has more than one thousand suppliers to feed into their factories. TSMC works with them extremely closely and help suppliers to develop their products. Most of those suppliers are less than 50 miles away and be ready to help within a few hours of notice. It&apos;s hard to duplicate that anywhere.

  For someone whos living on a farm and planning to spend my life living in a log cabin, content like this really makes me feel like I&apos;m behind and completely out of touch with the way the world is advancing and changing every day. It&apos;s genuinely mind blowing and truly unbelievable how far we&apos;ve come from the Viking age. Sometimes I feel like I&apos;m literally living in a different world compared to some people.

  Moore&apos;s second law is also a problem: the cost to build the factories that produce these chips doubles every four years

  People have absolutely no idea about how absurdly impossible these processes are, it&apos;s damn near a miracle, and yet reality. You may think I&apos;m being hyperbolic, but actually it&apos;s the exact opposite.

  My uncle just retired from the Hillsborough plant. They &apos;offered&apos; him full retirement 3 years early. <br>But to him it didn&apos;t seem optional. &nbsp;He was a maintenance tech and loved his job. &nbsp;<br>The 13th and 14th gen oxidization issues really screwed intel.
