Well Jim is a legend. In fact, Athlon 64 was the CPU in the very first PC I ever built.

I'm at Nvidia but based out of DC - another of my many steps from bench science to policy work that began, believe it or not, when I read Gervais Principle in my last year of grad school.

I actually had no idea you were specifically active in the semi space, was an on-and-off reader since maybe 2012. I do recall you mentioning an advanced engineering degree getting you occasionally binned as a "head in the clouds" type in the consulting space. Still happens to me at times.

Magnetic rice cooker. It knows when the rice is done, but it's nothing more than a resistive heating circuit held together by a single magnet.

Howdy. Didn't realize you had shifted interest a bit into the AI and semiconductor space.

Interesting times. Probably... 3, 4, 1, 5, 6, 2
