I would request the bot compares temperatures to a wet bulb temperature of 87F, which is the maximum wet bulb healthy humans can survive, according to recent research from Penn State: https://www.psu.edu/news/research/story/humans-cant-endure-temperatures-and-humidities-high-previously-thought/

We are rapidly approaching wet bulb temps that can cause mass death, and people need to be aware of that poorly publicized threshold.
Perfectly healthy people will die well before wet bulb temperatures equal body temperature.

Unfortunately, newer research suggests that the actual maximum wet bulb temperature healthy humans can survive is even lower than that, actually 31°C wet bulb (87°F at 100% humidity): https://www.psu.edu/news/research/story/humans-cant-endure-temperatures-and-humidities-high-previously-thought/
A lot of articles are still using old numbers which may cause people to take unnecessary risks.

Got a free compost tumbler off FreeCycle, hauling it home on my bike trailer.

Suppose you had to produce a local computer from scratch, completely independent from existing manufacturers like Intel. (If you need a specific location for this hypothetical, let's say Greater Philadelphia.) No chip fabs in China, Taiwan etc. The tech level and computing power doesn't matter, you can tailor the application to the power of the computer; indie local production is top priority.
What is the best approach? A simple conventional silicon chip? Vacuum tubes? Analog? Mechanical?
