I think there are a lot of ECEs that work in software. A lot of my classmates from my EE undergrad went to software despite getting a more hardware centric education because softwa…

My understanding is that it is ARM's parent company Softbank that stands to benefit rather than ARM looking to reinvest the money to fuel growth. ARM would benefit only slightly, a…

I read it more as, clients have a mix of questions. Clients don’t go through the system everyday and likely have some general worries and procedural questions as a result. Clients …

The language on their website implies that they act collectively in the event of a veto “A vetoed bill can become law if two-thirds of the members of each house vote to override th…

My understanding is that it is more a consequence of politics than the system... Sure you have a veto proof majority on this bill, but what about what comes next? The governor is a…

I think that you can at least choose for photos you take to not have location data at all in camera settings. I found out because the feature of mapping of where your pictures wher…

True. That is part of the reason why only 3 of maybe 30-60 layers are that small. Analog gets some signal integrity benefits from larger transistors, and often we have fairly large…

TI's fabs are mainly focused on analog, so the requirements are a bit different. IIRC we have 3 130-65nm layers for digital in our mixed signal designs which is roughly on par with…

It looks like the scale rating the energy efficiency of the fridges aged out of being useful. From the article: "Eventually, more than half of the products on the market were label…

The text of the comunity post is: 'YouTube has decided our Arc A380 review is "18+ only" and "not suitable for ads." This hurts views and revenue. Please share the video around man…

Gasoline is maybe 5 dollars a gallon and contains some 35kwh of energy. When burning gas in an engine we don't get 35kwh [1], but that is what is there. Lets imagine we are buildin…

Its been a bit since I watched, but he raises a few issues: 1. Many NFTs are fundamentally lacking a copyright. Only humans, not animals or even programs can create copyrightable w…

I should have mentioned explicitly that: average power = capacity factor * max power Thus it is clear why nuclear is .9, it doesn’t vary much in its generation. The max is only a b…

I believe that what is happening is that the rated capacity of a power plant is its maximum output times its capacity factor. Say we have a solar plant that produces a maximum of 1…

My fellowship email said 34k/yr plus 10k in tuition. This was for UT. In terms of expenses? Maybe about 2k/month. Depending on what standard of living you want 600-1400 for rent. S…

I could be reading this wrong but it looks like the star is likely to come close, and the uncertainty is such that they may even collide. “ An exceptional event will take place in …

I took it to mean double digit percent, but now I am also thinking it is confusing wording.

Fortunately, waiting is easy :)

I think that this is a really interesting move by Intel. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks this is an interesting way for Intel to get at TSMC. A few years back there was a cros…

I have some done some tests on 2900mAh Samsung cells from 2008. I have tested about 50 cells so far that were pretty abused, meaning they were discharged to less than 2.2V for seve…

I guess the benefit of google’s speed test is that if ISPs try to artificially speed it up, they run a good chance of accidentally increasing the bandwidth of youtube.

I took ıt to mean that theır completive advantaged was mıtıgated because of the pandemıc. Normally wıth thıs lead TSMC would make much more than Intel, SMIC, ect., but because of t…

Generally old chips are good, depends on the purpose. Some things like the f35 would like to use TSMC’s fabs. But not every chip is for only processing and larger process have thei…

I think what you say is correct, its so much easier to fire a missile than it is to stop one. Honestly, reliability and cost are bigger drivers than raw performance. The scenario i…

I would argue the opposite, that it is a huge deal for defense. Imagine if the situation is missile defense, both the missile and the defense systems are computerized and not only …
