  • Yes, the Swedish diesel electric subs are really quiet and hard to detect in a war game scenario, but that is done with many artificial constraints to the defending CSG, which is tightly packed in a relatively small patch of ocean that the Swedish sub knew and could plan for.

    In reality those subs are stealthy only while traveling at 6 knots and the CSG can travel at 30 over vast expanses of water, with an effective strike range of 2000 miles.

    Also, in war they’re allowed to use high energy sonars that they can’t use in a war game because it kills marine animals, which will detect a turd floating 500 miles away (exaggerating here but you get the idea).















  • Which is why the proverbial canary is coughing a little, but is still alive.

    TSMC announced their new gigafab in Arizona is being sped up with a 100 billion dollar investment to produce and later package the latest 2nm and A16 nodes. Taiwan is always a step ahead because it makes economic sense for it to be. If that stops being the case, then the US will take the lead and China will “Hong Kong” their way into Taiwan.





  • There are current studies about growing entire organs in a lab environment using 3D printed scaffolding and stem cells harvested from the patient, so the final product is 100% compatible and eliminates the need for immunosuppressants.

    Still a few decades out for human testing imo but they’d be the first in line.

    If we figure that out, artificial blood (which is already making good progress) and finally a way to regenerate brain cells without causing massive brain tumors we can extend life considerably, probably closer to 200 years on extreme cases.

    Or, at least, making it to 110 while still having a good quality of life, basically making 100 the new 60.
