You’re paying with your body, the work can be very dangerous, and it takes a while to ramp up to decent pay. On top of that the pay isn’t always going to be better than a degree (iirc research has concluded that lifetime earnings for trades are behind degrees), ignoring countries with sensible tertiary education options.

Trades are not equivalent. And education is still a significant indicator of political alignment.

Honestly, this is a great example of the empathy gap.

The reality of this all is rather complex but I think the greatest issue is fundamentally the empathy gap. Men’s issues are not recognized as issues, they’re just dismissed out of hand. I’m talking about the easy things like the sentencing and education gaps.

We need to start the discourse that these are very real problems that are worth addressing.

Another problem I personally run into is how it’s acceptable to discriminate against men, “kill all men” is acceptable but “kill all race” isn’t. Neither should be and we don’t recognize it as a problem, instead defaulting to arguments that are considered horrendous in another context.

Like others have noted, it’s 2-3 Watt’s per core, that’s pretty incredible given how it encompasses all the extra things the CPU does/supports and the inherent cost of it being not a big ol chip.

Specifically, they support substantially more memory at 12 channels, compared to the typical 2 and 128(+) lanes of PCIe 5 connectivity!

Because these systems are so dense, data centres can condense N servers into just a couple. And now, you only need 1 set of ancillary components like network cards or fans.

So, they’re significantly more efficient from a few perspectives.

I’ve been wondering how much of this contract is pity on Boeing or Boeing capitulating to Trump.
