As grayscail mentioned, this technology is already common in telecom applications, but there is some really cool and exciting research into getting photonics into advanced packages for super computing chips.

On average, content creators make significantly more money from view with people with premium memberships than from views with ads. I forget the exact numbers, but one creator broke down their payment from YouTube and premium views were roughly 4x more money, so something like ~$.0060 per view.

Such an interesting take on a everyday item that I thought was just for looking cute at music festivals and children's art projects. To know there is some underbelly to the glitter world made this a top tier internet era conspiracy imo. Sad they never got a truly definitive answer to their question tho...

I think my favorite way to describe the job is that I'm a baker that uses over a thousand ingredients to make a different cake each day. The best part of my job is easily the variety of work I get to be a part of. Some days it's solving very technical questions about why certain defects are made. Other days I'm doing long term planning for what equipment we should invest in. Then I could be working with my hands on very small and intricate boards to fix various issues. Overall, I could go else where and make more money and have better benefits, but I've never found a place that lets me do this level of work and actively encourage me to be curious. I owe much of that freedom to my direct supervisor who is also a very technical engineer, but is a surprisingly good manager.

Comment on The manufacturing backlash: No factory in my backyard in ~life

Given it's a semiconductor fab, chances are the plant will be antiquated tech and they could be looking to shutdown the operations. This means a massive disruption to the local community and environment.
My current thinking is that for manufacturing to really move back to the states, it will require these massive operations where land is dirt cheap. On paper it's not a terrible thing, but my concern is that corners will be cut, planning will not be through and problems will arise. I'm hoping I can look back and see this ford and Intel plants as successful blueprints for how to do these projects.

It's a $20billion project that's basically creating an entire industry surrounding it from the ground up. There are tons of things to be concerned about in a project this big. The biggest question is how in the world you get a highly skilled workforce to that area. It would require basically a massive community investment involving schools, housing and other amenities. I'm not convinced mega sites like this are ultimately a good thing as they would require such massive change to the local ecosystem.

Recently, I stumbled across a really slick Spotify music show called DnB All-Stars Radio (https://open.spotify.com/show/4WiHEU7mnT5n6uYRyTnWtv?si=5qFaxyvvRuSsO_tq3KPZFw) that I really enjoy. It's basically a DJ mix for Drum and Bass music. This type of show is easy to find on SoundCloud and other various websites but I really love the format Spotify has created. It's a nice mashup of audiobook, podcast, and music playlist.
Does anyone know how to find more content like this on Spotify? Given DnB is generally a nieche genre of bass music, I'm feeling like there should be more shows like this. I've looked under podcasts, audiobooks and artists, but I can't seem to find anything similar.

There is a band called Koo Koo Kangaroo that technically makes kids music. It's really wholesome and silly and some songs legitimately slap so hard I find myself rolling down the road bumpin em a bit too loud singing like a dweeb.
