Will we be seeing a similar process happen to "deep tech" startups ? And if so , what's the infrastructure behind that ?

- tlb 7y agoDepends on the tech. Aerospace has gotten significantly cheaper due to accurate simulation tools. You can design a supersonic airplane or rocket engine in software and expect the first prototype to at least sort-of work. The improvement of tools and slowing of silicon process improvement means that a startup can fab a competitive special-purpose CPU. Hennessy and Patterson's Turing lecture has an overview [https://iscaconf.org/isca2018/turing_lecture.html https://iscaconf.org/isca2018/turing_lecture.html] Robotics has gotten easier and cheaper thanks to good off-the-shelf sensors and actuators.
