That's an interesting explanation and somehow I never heard it explained that way before. It makes sense if one thinks of the transistor count doubling relative to where that compa…

I am pretty shocked but I guess ASML delivers by 747. [1][2] But they do seem to know what they're doing. :) "The current generation of EUV machines are already, to put it bluntly,…

Increasing supply chain resiliency by having multiple, geographically separated, sites this more of a thing now. https://hbr.org/2020/09/global-supply-chains-in-a-post-pande... "Th…

> node names are entirely unrelated to any physical dimensions I agree they're not necessarily related to any particular transistor dimension but are you sure it's entirely unrelat…

Does anyone know why Intel would want to build a "mega-site" in the city of Columbus Ohio? Why not choose Cleveland Ohio where one has port access with an existing route to Europe?…

If this analysis is even half correct those selling x86 server CPUs need to be concerned. Today there is a huge moat in existing x86 software, sure, but savings like that can justi…

The comment was in the context of a San Francisco City Ordnance, so the question is, does the City of San Francisco use Real-time continuous facial recognition? Today the answer is…

> The ordinance basically presumes a context of continuous, 24 hour surveillance or access thereto. I definitely agree with everything that you wrote but real-time continuous facia…

It depends, is the wafer passing or failing the manufacturing tests? This is an important consideration.

Probably. From a follow on article, "The biggest factor is heat. “Higher speeds tends to produce higher temperatures and temperature is the biggest killer,” says Rita Horner, senio…

> I’d much rather we over-design stuff to last decades, at least at the chip level where overedesigning is super cheap. Engineers are working on it. From a follow on article by the…

I suppose depending on how extreme we're going with unfocusing on math. But one doesn't really get to ignore math in life because of money. You'll still need to figure some things …

Definitely. I think when people say they suck at math what they mean is; I find math homework extremely boring and unrewarding. Which perpetuates sucking at math and only compounds…

Just to expand on this, when I worked as a grader in college I noted on engineering test keys the professor's answers were always roughly three short lines of handwritten equation.…

I can count so many I can't even decide where to begin. This being the classic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_Duke_Nukem_Fore... "The video game Duke Nukem Forever s…

Are there any economists out there? How is it possible that inflation was basically 0 for more than 100 years? Does this imply that productivity and the money supply grew at exactl…

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3540136/ Looks like people were not too impressed. I haven't seen it but from the description it looks like Chinese special forces fighting drug lords …
