Whoever used the most recent TSMC node will have the best specs. My guess is that even the designs of the transistors and perhaps logic gates are IP blocks owned by TSMC and not wh…

A nice plot twist would be if those tests were administered by an AI.

How does Apple handle it?

Somehow, on HN, suggesting to use an LLM to solve some problem gives you negative responses. But then ... posting to HN that you've used an LLM to solve a problem is OK?

Would a hamster run this much naturally? Or is the running because of the boredom of captivity? TikTok for hamsters?

It also shows certain industrial areas like steel plants as "on fire".

They certainly lost, status wise.

Would love to see a cat and mouse game being played by openai versus anthropic, out in the open.

Blackmail is still a possibility ... Plus your data can be sold on the market. To US based entities. While the Chinese still hold on to the data for future uses ...

If many people do this then I'm sure China will find some uses for that data at some point.

Then it is not a status symbol anymore.

The problem is this: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/30/us-firm-drone-... If you can't defend yourself, then it is increasingly difficult to attack.

But when you do that extra 200% of work, would that give you a better output from a business point of view?

Forgive my ignorance but isn't a PLC simply a computer with some GPIO ports? I.e., a Raspberry Pi could be called a PLC? Why are we talking about them as if they are something else…

It's a numbers game and I don't know if the numbers are in favor of Ukraine anymore, given this lack of defense weapons.

If defensive weapons don't work because too expensive, then the only way out seems to be M.A.D. which Ukraine can only attain if they join NATO.

The ads from 1951 didn't know anything about you. Except that you were reading an engineering magazine of course.

> it's good enough to use it for (almost) everything which in your case is?

Can we please tax the negative effect that big money has on the rest of us? I mean I'm perfectly fine with people who work hard making a lot of money. But that changes once that mo…

And how does the public know there is a datacenter inside a random building?

Yes they should have said 23.0 * 10^3.

If memory makers can fill their order books with only a single type of memory (whatever that is), then that would be preferable to them, I suppose.

Except nobody knows where the AI data centers are actually located.

But I suppose the interconnect masks don't have the resolution requirements of the masks for transistors. Therefore it could be a lot cheaper. (Yes, you could fix a number of masks…
