  • Investment… It’s a bit too simple to just say money, but investment wraps it up better. Chips may not be open source, but they are physically there to be taken apart and reproduced. That’s what a lot of those Chinese knockoff chips are (baring the ones where the designs are outright stolen). The only thing that stops you from doing the same thing as those bootleg fabs is being willing to soak time and resources into the project. It’s just a big project. Like a Bloomfield i7 (which is old and fairly large) has 731 million transistors in it…




  • I won’t say I have a solution for you, but I can at least offer solidarity. It’s been lonely for me too and it’s a good year if I see friends more than a few times… I will say, try to stay healthy for yourself. You may hit some low times, plan ahead, and make decisions you won’t regret. And remember that you are in a marathon, this is going to take a while, pace yourself.
