He was very adamant that this is the case, but he's not some dipshit who gets all his info from reactionary sources, so I'm wondering where he got that specific number from. Anyone heard of it? The "60 years behind" thing I mean?

      Yeah, it was just very weird and completely out of character for him. Even though he's not a "leftist", he's very level headed and wouldn't usually fall for something like this.

      So that made me wonder if this is an actual lib talking point that I just happened to miss, or if someone was making shit up as they were going along. The latter seems more plausible.

      My understanding is that as of this year they abruptly and unexpectedly jumped two or three generations and are not either at the cutting edge or just behind it. something about 7nm chips?
