@GOROman Friend, can you explain how it came to be that Japan uses Arabic numerals?

We have a sort of opposite problem. Our young engineers often struggle to get jobs right away because the companies have insane requirements for entry level jobs. It probably happens in other fields, but I am an engineer so I know this field best.
Some of it is a problem with the graduates (lower attention span, engineering rigor going down), but a lot with companies who want the world but can’t find the candidate. Both sides need to improve.

@chrisf_cpuarch @51Yukkoro @kaeruZangyo わかりません。知らない間に増えていたんです。日本の経産省はAIとロボット化により2040年に労働力不足は起きないと発表しました。
労働力が足りないのではなく「安く働く人」が足りないのです。

@51Yukkoro, @kaeruZangyo, @daihuku2023. Hello Japanese friends. I would like your help.
I met an elderly Japanese man who can no longer work because he broke his femur and nearly died from pneumonia. He commented on my burger post and asked how much it cost. I learned the price was enough to pay for three days of his food!
I would like to buy him lunch sometime. Can you please tell me if that would be ok culturally? And if so, are there any apps that let people share money? What is the best way to help?

@TSUPANMAN2828 @chrisf_cpuarch Digital design was one of my favorite classes in school. We designed a computer processor from the ground up and tested it in a simulator. Its brains were slightly dumber than a TI-85 calculator’s

@TruthbyDiogenes @jinusu Oh you son of a bitch! You’re just like me then.

I was in high school! I used to get in so much trouble, once the teacher was like "the next person that says a chuck norris joke is going to the office" and it went desd silent and I immediately quipped "you wouldn't send Chuck Norris to the office" and the whole class roared and I had to go to the office lololol

@BuzzPatterson I have a question. I expect you can’t answer or. However, do they ever transmit fake EAMs? Perhaps one that are valid but known to be disregarded? I ask because that’s where my mind would go if I were architecting that system.

God, the number of times I listened to this on the HFs (before we had SelCal).

@TruthbyDiogenes @jinusu Based. I was king of these in college and am happy to assist. I feel that they’d really like them.

@chrisf_cpuarch @jinusu Ooh good idea! I have a plan to start introducing stuff like this so I'll start after I get some sleep. They already know about Hooters and Chuck Norris jokes, first thing I check lol

@TruthbyDiogenes @jinusu So they know about that’s what she said, yet?

@PhilipSchonenb2 @blind_via It’s not set in stone. I’d probably be targeting a 130 nm process for the ASIC. Very little of my CPU architecture work has been outside of the chip, so a slow speed gives me a chance at making less mistakes.
This personal project would be a reintroduction to VLSI for me.

@chrisf_cpuarch @blind_via Why are you using Ddr3 for such low speeds ?

@daihuku2023 @51Yukkoro @kaeruZangyo How much of this is foreigners coming in to help with Japan’s declining birth rate?

@chrisf_cpuarch @51Yukkoro @kaeruZangyo 十分に伝わりました。
日本でも多文化共生は始まっています。特にムスリム。

頑張って声を上げているところです。

@51Yukkoro @daihuku2023 @kaeruZangyo It requires strong leaders who will say no even if there are social consequences. Not many people can do that. God bless the ones who do (did this sentence translate ok?).

@chrisf_cpuarch @daihuku2023 @kaeruZangyo 正直怖いです。大多数の人が違和感を持っていても、正しいものとして政策やイベントが変更されていくなんて。でも、様々なことに配慮しすぎていると、みんなが疲れて逆の流れになる気がする。本当に好きなものを、何も考えず好きと言える世界が一番いい。

@oskkpu I just learned about the Sanseito party today. I wish it great success! Japan First!
