Re:Two Weeks Until Tapeout
on Sunday January 25, 2026 @11:48AM (#46755660)
Don’t worry we have those 80 hour weeks in software too. I can think of a few examples. For example with mobile App Store review time used to be kind of like that. You submitted your app waited a few business days and prayed there wasn’t an obscure rejection that lead to an appeal which could take even longer. Very stressful when you are cueing up a launch and press releases on a certain date. you had to make sure you were done a few weeks in advance to account for everything.
I don’t work much on apps anymore but I hear it’s somewhat better now.
Another big area is compliance, those processes can take forever.

The popular national parks like Yosemite do pay for themselves, so that’s how it works, it’s just run by the government instead of a corporation.

Calfair will certainly need to be bailed out. The plans has over 5B in exposure in palisades alone, and only a few hundred million in reserves.

You’re forgetting lots of people rent. Lots of people can’t afford to own, and almost all of them rent. The other factor is dual, or even 3+ incomes in families living together.

Unpopular view perhaps, but public WiFi seems obsolete except for where cell signal can’t reach. 5G is usually faster and somewhat more secure than connecting to access points.

I think you answered why the only real solutions are
a) don’t collect the data (signal approach)
b) hire an army of lawyers and compliance people (big tech approach)
c) ban users from entire countries where you don’t comply (common in crypto)
d) risk jailtime or asset forfeiture

I’m sure they have a pitch deck. It’s pretty obvious a big chunk will go to compute costs for model training & research. But mostly it’s about the people in any company at this stage, same as any seed funding but on a different monetary scale.
