I don't get the VHDL or Verilog hate. Digital IC design engineers have no problem with them. True, most of the industry moved to SystemVerilog, mainly for simulation and verification reasons. It's the weirdnesses of FPGAs though.

ASML has long lever against the Dutch government too. They keep threatening them to move to another country.

In ASML's case it is the Dutch government banning them, because US government openly threatened them. It's the logical thing to do for an ally.

They can do 7nm and 5nm. Multiple patterning basically. I don't know when it doesn't scale anymore. Moat likely 4x patterning is the max you want to do.

These machines are not like John Deere tractors. If you own the hardware, you own it. They won't be connected to internet. Security first! Smuggling part is happening on the old machines before EUV. There's a lot of them available

They are nowhere close to beat ASML. This isn't a moat ASML can keep for long though. There can be alternatove technologies to achieve the same goal. So far only China has that incentive. The real problem is process scaling is slowing

Great piece! Made me reflect on my own persuasion of thin desires and my struggle to control them. It also made me see that my hobbies and my career are actually about following my thick desires. I'm in tech, yes. But I chose, among al

It's indeed the tightness of the grain, but also volumetric density (975 kg/m³) is higher than oak or spruce. What I mean with light is, indeed you can make very thin utensils and they won't break, bemd etc so at the end the

Great blog post. I like the emd look of the experimental finish. Couple of years back I went to all wooden spoons in the kitchen. My all time favourite is the most traditional of all: boxwood. This is what wooden utensils are made in my hom

Previous reply is correct. To give a feeling: micro-ribg resonators are anywhere between 10 to 40 micrometer in diameter. You also need a bunch of other waveguides. The process in the paper uses silicon waveguides, with 400nm width if I&#x2

by bgnn 10mo ago
It isn't unfortunately as the physical size of the resonators need to match a given wavelength. So for each wavelength you need a new circuit in parallel.

I'm very familiar with this process as I use it regularly. The area is massive. 330um × 290um are the X and Y dimensions. The area is roughly 0.1 mm2. You can see the comparison on table 1. This is roughly 50000 times larger than an S

Yeah I totally see that. What I struggle with with a single child is to be able to work full time for example. You are expected to work part time, but then how do you sustain your income, with multiple children. The problem will be bigger o

I can agree with the most of this, but the large families being pushed out of existence is plainly wrong. How much the school is costing you? Healthcare? How much do you save by being able to cycle with 4 kids to short distances, where most

Interesting. I didn't live in Amsterdam but whenever I cycle there I feel quite annoyed compared to Utrecht.

This isn't correct. There were ICE mini and micro cars. It's just not popular in some countries like the US or Canada, but wildly popular in some (mainly Asia). Nowadays there are electric micro cars too, like Citroën Ami. I belie

I'm not surprised to see Utrecht in the first place, but quite a bit surprised to see the other Dutch cities so low. No offense, but Rotterdam or The Heague is 100x better than Paris from safety and convenience point of view. I'm

Yeah Canada is so weird in that sense. It's so North American in infrastructure but more European in culture.

Asking as an non-US person: Is there mandatory education for children in the US? I guess homeschooling fits well with extreme individualistic American culture, no surprises there.

What you define here is isolation from the real world. There seems to be a misunderstanding of your understanding of misunderstanding.

My own experience with SSRIs was very unpleasant. Sure, it worked to reduce my anxiety problems while I was on them for years. The first year I was off of them was the worst though. I didn't have that bad anxiety ever, as in constant p

I would have never thought to see a Franco apologist with my own eyes. Wow, thank you for this unique moment. Anyhow, Franco was a fascist trash and allied with Hitler and Mussolini. Revolutionaries were mainly anarchists (NOT communists).
