Some 12yo's discover it through things like Minecraft and arguably that's the best time to start.

If someone put a "Redstone circuits" unit in a general science class in grade 7, and spent just one day talking about the real-world applications think it would be a success.

The entry level work is definitely considered low value, and I can see why, but I don't think it's any different than a first year accountant or lawyer for example.

Of course the big accounting firms are also starting to rely on outsourcing and foreign hiring strategies but semiconductor has been doing this for 25+ years already.

And accounting is not really a strategic sector
crucial for developing advanced businesses, high value consumer products, and military technologies...

Its a big missed opportunity that will affect the west for decades to come.

There is also an education gap. For whatever reason, this type of work is considered extremely niche in North America and even if 100% of local ECE graduates were hired there would still be both a labour and skill shortage.

Also the majority of the people in the local education programs I've seen are also studying from abroad, so they need a visa once they graduate to actually do the work.

Its odd, since it is such a strategic industry, that there is not a more clear strategy here beyond just hiring abroad to fill the massive gaps.

In some ways these companies benefit from the extra power they have over their workers when they depend on employment for their right to stay in the country, but eventually the companies just end up looking like a less promising risk to take versus just going to work in other countries.

That's what I mean by "the grade you need". If you need RON 87 don't "splurge" for 93. It's not better its just different and more expensive.

... Yeah just buy the grade you need not the "expensive" one, it's a commodity!

I flew outside the country for the first time in a while and my flights (domestic and international) on other airlines were an eye-opener. Both the Canadian airlines are an embarrassment these days.

Aw I was getting some "Weather on the ones - REMIX" ideas hah

With the word "multiplex" does it let you play both the radio and 8-track at the same time (overlapping?)

What part of FSR2 doesn't currently work on Nvidia GPUs?

FSR already works on Nvidia GPUs, it's just this hook to use FSR3 Frame Generation where DLSS Frame Generation normally would run is still blocked by Nvidia because any DLSS features are limited to an RTX card.

Perfect, I can now use any word thats not mutually exclusive completely dependently (interchangeably) and be appreciated (understood)
