they didn't try to land it seems. trying to land was the better option.

This is fair. I personally agree that US government is small, or should be small for that matter. A lot of EU countries have much more efficient governments. My original comment was about the neo-conservative ideology, which was either dire

Isn't US military alone the biggest money spending governmental organisation (well, technically multiple organizations), in history.

not an American, but it seems to me that the reason is purely ideological. They like a small state, especially the federal government. This would give too much power to the government. The idea of federal government providing care for citiz

because water is a hard surface at landing speeds and the plane often breaks apart at contact. if you manage to land in one piece, you have limited time before plane starts submerging.

1st class for such a distance isn't for luxury but for more space. You should check before buying anything.

I'm so surprised how people forgot all of these. The current escalation is not only the fault of current Russia, but to a large extent US and European countries which decided to take the current path. Russia and other iron curtain coun

US was using civilian aircrafts for spying at the time too.

I agree with you fully. Thank you for the interesting discussion.

Interesting point. Though I would say that you didn't disprove my point. Humans have a level of generalized intelligence that's not matched. We might be terrible at certain sensory tasks (smell), maybe all, compared to another ani

What I funny is the discussion recolve a lot around software development, where LLMs excel at. Outside this and creating junk text, like a government report, patent application etc they seem to be pretty useless. So most of the society does

excellent analogy. piggybacking on this: a lot of believers (as they are like religious fanatics) claim that more data and hardware will eventually make LLMs intelligent, as if it's even the neuron count matters. There is no other anim

Very interesting. What about memory? Current problems are mainly memory bottleneck related. How can one solve that in photonic chips?

Intereting question. The answer to the second part: we have much faster switching transistors (GaAs, SiGe, InP, now GaN) already but they cannot be miniaturized easily and the production technology isn't as simple as CMOS. One can buil

This! And optical waveguides are big, and they need to be spaced apart to avoid interference. Speed of light is limiting for such large circuits to be fast. Nothing beats CMOS transistors in density.

Broadcom is now the second biggest AI chip producer thanks to Google. Apple recently announced they will also work with Broadcom on something similar.

Yeah only viable way is to be able to compete with TSMC. This requires 10s of billions of dollars of investment (capex amd NRE). This can work if Intel foundry is independent and open to do business with everyone. Apple loves to have a seco

Well, everyone is state sponsored in this field at the moment. TSMC's biggest shareholder is Taiwanese state. Global Foundries is owmed by Mubadala and getting US gvt injections. Intel was a true exception.

Only 2x bandwidth improvement?

From other customers. TSMC took the lead with Apple funding for example.

Waiting time increases with accessibility and aging population. Most developed countries with universal healthcare amd the hospitals are full with elderly. The developing countries are often much better due to younger population. Places lik

There is a huge difference between US and pretty much the rest of the world. The most corrupt healthcare system is US, hands down.

Hmm why? I thought the whole idea was this would work eventually. Physical qubit vs logical qubit distinction is there already for a long time. The scaling problem is multifaceted. IMHO the physical qubits are the biggest barrier to scaling

Marvell isn't a small company. It's not an AI chip maker either.
447.
by bgnn 2y ago
As an industry insider I can attest to Marvell being a 90% networking company. Most of their revenue increase is from data center expansion due to AI. Though their enterprise has grown in recent years quite a bit.

Golf is THE family car. SUVs are not as common and often driven by boomers who don't live with their children anymore.

Sorry for unclarity. I wasn't comparing the weight if the total car in EV or ICE scenario. It's more like 2x for a similar range I would think, because EV drivetrain is so much lighter than ICE one.

Gasoline has 100x more energy density per kg than Lithium batteries. As you said EVs are 3x more efficient so per kg dofference is 33x. Electic motors are much more compact and lighter than ICEs but not enough to close the 33x gap for the s
