> TSMC is ahead because it adopted ASML's EUV Depends what you mean by "adopted". Pretty sure Intel had EUV prototypes before TSMC (or at least very close), but it was slower to transition its high volume production to it

Semiconductor R&D is very multi-dimensional (despite the media only talking about the one dimensional made up measurement of node size), there are many things Intel could learn from TSMC, and the other way around too.

Apple doesn't design on ASML equipment. Apple (and other fabless companies) designs to a PDK (process design kit, basically rules about how to layout transistors and passives on the die), which is given to them by their foundry (TSMC i

Sure, that's why they named it Euromaidan and flew EU flags, because it was totally unrelated to the people's will to be closer to Europe. /s It is true that it was a revolt against a corrupt regime, but it's also true t

I was exempt from Brazilian military service due to permanently residing abroad. From a quick Google search, it seems Greece offers something similar.

> They skip the node means no customer demand an no incoming money. Not really, it also has to do with timing, fab space, extra cost of maintaining that node, etc. I don't want to get into details as I work on 20A/18A developm

The ECU in your car doesn't benefit much from newer processes, but the chips required for self-driving do. That's the special thing about leading semiconductors: they enable other technologies. From the personal computer to IoT an

Intel was never heavily involved in that, so idk why you think we'd be able to deduce that meaning from your previous comment. Also, the military semiconductor supply chain is already protected and has serious export restrictions, you

20A was just a stepping stone to 18A, dropping it was more of a tactical than a strategic decision, I think people are reading too much into it.

GF sold its EUV machine several years ago when it decided to stop trying to compete at the leading edge of logic processes. So, they're not comparable to what TSMC, Intel and Samsung are doing.

Exactly, that's why the absolute computation time doesn't matter, only relative growth, which is exactly what they show.

Indeed, this is the problem with crypto games, there's no intrinsic value to the currency (and crypto as a whole). The question is whether they'll get third parties to develop for their blockchain to the degree that it becomes sel

The absolute time depends on hardware, optimizations, exact model, etc; it's not a very meaningful number to quantify the reinforcement technique they've developed, but it is very useful to estimate their training hardware and oth

Sure, but you'll need to do more than "read several HN articles over the years" (presumably completely unrelated to anti-cheats?) to get even a basic understanding of how anti-cheats work, as he went on to demonstrate. I also

Your quote backs up what OP said. In pari-mutuel betting the odds are decided all at once after betting has closed, hence your timing doesn't change the odds you get. This is in contrast with fixed odds betting against the bookie where
