Unfortunately it's far from the norm in Europe. In the Netherlands there's no school lunch available. Families need to provide it to their children. The norm is just bread and cheese sandwich and milk, doesn't matter how rich

That's unbelievable. A lot of 3rd world countries have their own refineries.. Wow.

The second step, passing the analog output through shifted tanh functions, is implementing an analog to digital converter (ADC). This type ADCs were common back in the BJT days. So: DAC + sum in analog domain+ ADC is what the NN is doing.

This. They gave the keys to the management of the business units and layers of managerial hierarchy under. I did my PhD project in collaboration with NXP research which used to be the semiconductor division of Natlab. At every project meeti

In this situation I disagree. This is a blatant seizure of the control of a foreign owned company for political reasons. This is straight out of China's playbook. I agree that the West is in general different, as in this is more an exc

Can't you say the same for the West though? This news is about a Chinese company's control being taking over by a Western government.

The same government forced NXP to sell its RF power division to Chinese JAC in 2015 due to NXP and Freescale merger. Isn't that great?

A bit of history: Nexperia was formed because back in 2017 (if I remember correctly) Qualcomm wanted to buy NXP. So NXP wanted to look more attractive to Qualcomm shareholders and sold its more low-tech business unit to Chinese investors. T

of course not. no chance this would compete on cost and volume with those.

Anyone who isn't from the West, hell even Southern Europeans, are taking note. There is no rights and freedoms for us. All this for to support a bully of a fundamentalist state and a bunch of theocratic kingdoms/emirates.

This is very much one sided. Other side of the argument, in civillians supporting horrible violence, doesn't do any favors dor Israel. Most of the world is appalled in the delusional civil society.

Lifestyle. Not sitting a lot (more than 1 hour at a time), walking or cycling everywhere, not eating a kot of sugar/refined carbs..

I see a lot of people saying this is due to lack of competition. I hate to break this to you but it isn't that. A lot of European countries thinking the competition will drive the costs down, including on the supply side, and liberaliz

It's so bad that the only way FHE can get more efficient is to use a non-conventional compute technology. Some want to do it in optical donain.

Right? I'm fluent in Dutch but I can't read German. This is more readable than Afrikaans.

You could do engineering without knowing about partial differential equations, or numerical methods. Most digital IC designers, FOGA guys etc do that. You would be missing some tools though. Not needing a tool ever doesn't mean it&#x27

Except when you are Germany. Then you shut down the coal plants and replace with natural gas.

Not in the history so far. I'm just trying to balance the extreme negative view on Chinese subsidies. They are of similar nature, and scale (as percentage of the total economy). In the EU we have this view of Chinese EVs because they g

True. But as usual there is more to it. US is running on cheap fossil fuels to most part, though the renewables aren't negligible too. The fossil fuels are actually subsidized, and they are cheap because they are results of exploitatio

Most of Chinese emissions are due to the production of American products.

Neither the US cares about the climate amd doesn't care about the optics either. This is capitalism in action: solar is cheaper than anything else per kwh. The obsession with fossil in the West is due to the fossil fuel lobbies, not be

I think this is exactly the intended consequence. This is a protectionist economic policy, and its consequences will be reduced imports and exports. US is the biggest market for everyone, because they have the sweet sweet dollars and that d

They can ship it from EU or Mexico or what have you. This type of warehouse and forwarding service is very widespread.

This sounds like a fun project to do. Maybe I will look into the technical feasibility of this.

Yes. It's the best thing happened for the Chinese semiconductor ecosystem. All those Chinese phones, networking equipment etc can't risk using the suppliers in the West as it can be shut down with a decree. Now Huawei, Xiaomi etc
