From what I was able to gather, the onus is on the SBF for misappropriating FTX customers' funds. On the Alameda side it does not seem like a typical scam in the sense of "get mone…

Abstracting from the company she was definitely not fit to lead, the more I researched her, the more she came through as an interesting personality. I binge read most of her Tumblr…

Internships? Yeah, nah. TSMC doesn't hand out technology NDAs to interns, which makes them kinda useless. All in all, the IC design field is a decade or two behind software dev in …

Yes, BUT... Each new technology node (excluding shrinks) already disrupts the flow in many breaking ways. Seemingly small changes, new DRC requirements, the need to model more side…

Rest assured that one of the companies you mentioned has deployed a catalog of reusable software components not long ago. It's already quite populated. But the funny thing is, you …

I wonder what will come of it. Portugal had Chipidea which was somewhat successful, to be later acquired by MIPS and sold shortly after to Synopsys.

Cadence and Synopsys use it.

Sadly, the "cocktail party test" part is so true. How am I supposed to be proud of my work between that and "this one asshole customer" from Japan? (Tier 1's from USA are demanding…

Just designing on their node as a foundry customer.

Intel did offer foundry services, at least 3 years ago or so, albeit designing stuff for that node required putting everything in separated environment, and simulating in separate …

Do you realize that most locations where tech companies would seek talent have much better employee protection? No at-will employment, guaranteed annual and parental leave.

Why aren't such dense polynomials used more often? Is it that we trade off something in return for less short-term correlation (maybe more long-term correlation)?

At work I had to take a course on US export control. The restrictions they bully everyone into are pretty nazi. Likewise with SWIFT. As evidenced by TFA it's always regular citizen…

As Moore's law slows down, this time for real, there have been a few unorthodox ideas lately. 3DIC, or Cerebras' whole-wafer CPU. This looks like a thing worthy pursuing. With free…

Corner reflectors are crazy effective for such application, as referenced in another comment thread here.

The whole digital ASIC synthesis flow revolves around timing closure i.e. satisfying setup and hold at max possible clock speed. I guess we may even have to invent a new HDL to pur…

Not every form of cultural misunderstanding is racism. Why dilute the word? What does it even mean in this context? I think, that this "art of" while exaggerated as you point out, …

Zuck never asks why, he just collects whatever he can. People make jokes he's a robot or something, but I think for him company is everything. All the money but no respect earned, …

Holy. Fuck. You weren't kidding. This is blazing fast. Thanks for the tips, definitely bookmarking this as a reference.

Nice tool, just in time I sought an alternative to Google Alerts, because they filter out most stuff and are biased towards bigger/news portals. For now something is not quite righ…
