Setting up an LSP relies on 2 requirements to properly work: (a) The LSP's tools being competently built & consistent, and (b) the LLM using it having been properly trained to use LSPs in general. Using a native tool like grep has

Following this hypothesis, it would be rationally beneficial to release a wild bear every 6 months or so, just to make sure that the 'fear bank' is occupied by things that warrant actual fear.

Half of the reason their writing is like that is because current LLMs are not trained to go back to previous tokens to edit/delete them. If I recall, previous attempts to do so made them get stuck in edit loops.

Chiplet-style layouts could cut the etching quality requirements per chip down, but it still can't avoid the base cost for manufacturing silicon.

Seconded. The mad dash for everything is screwing up future expansion opportunities, because everyone in the market wants a future slice at any cost.

Manufacturer skepticism =/= "welp, guess we won't build more factories then" Facility buildouts will continue at their own pace, independent of current market demands.
