 Julien | Then we can go and bootstrap the hardware đŸ˜‡ | 14:24:31 |
| emily | first start with 256 transistors… | 14:25:58 |
| emily | eventually you'll get an automated chip factory that processes purely functional specifications | 14:26:27 |
| emily | currently it involves constructing 10 of those from different eras to get the process size down so you'll want a big expanse of open space and a few decades but we're working on it… | 14:29:26 |
