  • We are emitting more CO² now at a faster rate than ever before.

    We are not, and that graph you posted does not measure that.

    CO² emissions are higher now than ever.

    And they are not either. That phrase has been true for almost every year of the last 3 centuries, but not this one.

    Again, your graph does not measure the thing that you said. I’d guess that you are misinterpreting the data.





  • In a high-level, you don’t design them anymore. You write them, in code. The compiler turns your code into the chip masks, and has an optimizer that will mangle the hell out of the relatively simple stuff you wrote.

    In a lower level, that compilation is not really done automatically, and people will intervene in lots of places, and AFAIK, how people divide it and interact with it are well guarded secrets from the chip makers.
