Imagine doing automated bulk manufacturing locally
Tiny Tapeout,做你人生的第一颗开源芯片 github.com/TinyTapeout Tiny Tapeout 正在颠覆并重塑全球微电子与半导体教育的物理门槛 它将流片(Tapeout)这一原本动辄数万至数百万美元、专属于大型科技公司的金钱游戏,降维普惠到了每个普通工程师、学生和创客的桌面上 它可能是目前设计制造到真实芯片上最快捷、最经济的方式 Tiny Tapeout 可以将定制芯片的成本压低到大约 300 美元 它向 GF 这样的晶圆厂( GlobalFoundries 180nm、德国 IHP、SkyWater 130nm)购买一个标准大小的芯片格子(Tile),然后再把这个格子切割成几百个更小的微型数字/模拟单元(如每个包含 4k 左右的逻辑门) 大家共享硬件引脚,几百个爱好者的设计并排呆在同一块硅晶片(Silicon Die)上,通过一个内置的数字多路复用器(Multiplexer)共享同一组 24 个外部物理 IO 引脚 Tiny Tapeout 每个用户分到的面积极其微小(通常上千个门电路)和 24个 IO 引脚。在这里你只能用来跑 8 位小 CPU、简易加密算法、VGA 图像生成器等概念验证(PoC) 在最终拿到的这颗芯片,在物理上也完整包含了那一期拼车里其余所有人的设计,你只需要通过微控制器拨码,就能激活并运行属于你自己的那部分物理电路 tinytapeout.com/guides/get-s…

First they took off the 🚬 off the planes, and then they took it out of the beloved PCs. Well look what they took from us 😭
Replying to @RetroTechChris
I will say this cigarette lighter/cup holder is fundamentally flawed. The cup holder is not great. Also if you push in the cigarette lighter at certain times, the current draw is too much, and the power supply overload circuit kicks in (not shown).

I love this woman ... she straight up giving the books 📕 to the people
Carney’s “prudent banker” brand is dead. The PBO just showed the books are being cooked Debt-service costs are now the fastest-growing federal expense: $25B five years ago → $59B this year (already larger than the Canada Health Transfer) → $83B in five years. Pure interest, paid before anything else PBO Annette Ryan: the government’s fiscal “anchors” are “more like traffic lights.” Capital spending gets a green light; operating spending is a yellow at best. “Limited fiscal discipline. It’s not stopping spending.” Real cash borrowing over five years: $733B. New debt from deficits: only $333B. The ~$400B gap is being parked with Crown corporations, loans and special funds—“a step removed from parliamentary oversight.” New risks, she said, and less transparency The former Bank of Canada/Bank of England governor who once policed balance sheets is now redefining accounting so the headline targets stay pretty while the actual liability grows off-books. Taxpayers get stuck with the interest bill @PBO_DPB

BREAKING Canada's Parliamentary Budget Officer just EXPOSED another broken promise from Mark Carney. Carney promised Canadians he would LOWER the debt-to-GDP ratio. The PBO revealed the exact opposite. Canada's debt is growing FASTER than its economy under the Liberals.

If you didn't know you can actually bank the blood and the umbilical cord itself so you can eventually keep the stem cells later for body repair or fight other conditions. It is very important for people to understand and take good care of their health and their children. Another story I heard is about clamping the cord too soon. I believe that in order to reduce the chances of having the kids in a NICU one must follow the appropriate procedures to let the blood flow and slowly release the cord, nothing in a hurry.
A hospital scam made possible by a law passed by Congress you didn’t even know was happening “After a woman gives birth, there's a law put in place that doesn't allow her to sell her placenta, butthe government is allowed to” “People are finding out that after they give birth, their placenta is then taken, which is (one of) the richest source of stem cells, and it can be sold anywhere from 50,000 upwards to $500,000, but they can't sell it themselves.” “One person talks about her story at the hospital after having her baby where she had a doula there with her, and the doula had brought her own cooler and asked the doctor if she could take the placenta. The doctor agreed, so she put it in the cooler, took it, and left the hospital. Then droves of different groups of people kept coming in looking for the placenta, but didn't tell the woman that and said that they had lost something And then eventually she found out they were looking for the placenta” - A 2022 article from the Parent’s Guide to Cord Blood Foundation estimated the “street value” of a placenta at around $50,000, based on the potential market for processed placental products (e.g., amniotic membrane for wound care, stem cells for research) - A blog by Dr. Chris Centeno speculated a higher value (up to $500,000) when including amniotic fluid and other birth tissues You can use your imagination to guess what the hospital rate is…

Making money off the system is one thing, but the simple things one can do to preserve the future must be taken. Learn the basics and advocate good practices for your kids.
