It's TSMC and Taiwanese state policy is to lag the US fabs bu couple of years as they don't want to lose their strategic importance and their protection that comes with it.

This applies for any manufacturing industry to be honest. US shipbuilding capability is so limited compared to China. It's only surviving because of military spending, but not in a healthy way. US made ships are of lower quality and co

Yes, Intel is cooked. I think they won't recover anymore. Their fab business' fate will be similar to Global Foundaries: a second tier supplier of old tech nodes.

Interesting to include the sales tax. Makes sense I guess. Where I live in Europe it's like 45% income tax + 21% sales tax (more like 75% on fuel) + 5% wealth tax.

We used to call any sensor with a digital output a smart sensor, although there was nothing smart about it. Now that smart became AI.

It's fascinating to me that people find there's no noticable quality decline. It might be the case for US, as the quality of food and textile wasn't great in 90s or 2000s. It's very noticable in Europe though, especiall

This is so wrong outside US. SE Asia and Europe is proof of public transport being viable.

It shouldn't ve hard to replace them but any other new service (like Wise) end up issuing a Visa/MC card. Why can't we have an open protocol which works between any machine with NFC?

For iPhone, not much. It already has a ridiculously powerful CPU. SWEs can continue writing ridiculously inefficient code. For data centers, it will help a lot. More compute for same power.

As TSMC and Taiwang government policy, they always build it first in Taiwan, run for some years and then build in the US. They keep Taiwan relevant and protected this way.

Yeah I was suspecting they would do the treatment with immunosuppressants. Immune response is an unpredictable killer.

More of the same it seems. How can you deliver a product within 2 months of there is anything novel.

I wonder how much extra range you would get if one leaves the car in the shade so that it doesn't get super hot and there is no need to turn on the AC hard? I bet it's more than 2.86 miles. I believe having a carport and house roo

I'm not sure about this calculation though. Phosphor decays exponentially with a time constant of roughly 5ms (according to HP [1]). This means when a new frame comes at 60Hz refresh rate there is still 10-15% of the previous frame rel

Reading the comments, I see a lot of hate for Firefox. What is the explanation for this (other than people not trying Firefox and assuming it's inferior)?

This is a really poor experiment and conclusions do not mean much for teo reasons: 1- This PCB is extremely simple. Anyone can design this in no time. 2- This type of automation is as old as EDA tools (which means electronic design automati

Nope, the odds are pretty much the same, even on water. It helps to reduce the body count on the ground though.

This is true for boing, but not true dor Airbus design philosophy. Airbus tends to limit the pilot control inout pushing the plane out of safe operation conditions. I'm not sure of it's possible/not possible to cut the engine

They can be tested if there's a mechanical failure ifthe switches survived the crash.

They do, but it's hidden from the customer of course.
174.
by bgnn 1y ago
Because the margin per chip is low and supporting more customers cost more. They sell these parts for couple of bucks/part at volume, although it costs 20-30 million NRE. With the fixed production costs added, they have tens of cents p

I don't know what's it like to work with their chips, but I worked at one of them designing chips. There is often a block designed by someone 10 years ago but left the company, it has bugs, but nobody dares to touch it and fix it

Backend and fab costs are dominant (or even packaging costs are on par with silicon costs these days), correct, but verification is an multiplier on overall costs. The cost of a re-spin is huge. To your point though, most issues warranting

Totally agreed. This is the problem of academia unfortunately, the people working on these have no experience in designing complex chips and facing the real limitations. We are so stupidly limited by our EDA tooling and infrastructure. I wi

Isn't monoculture farming heavily subsidized too? Either directly or indirectly.

by bgnn 1y ago
This is a very good point, but what about the maintenance of managing multiple small harvesters vs one big one? Latter is riskier if fails but you don't need to deal with a fleet, so easier for the farmer.

I would love that to happen. It will happen if it's economically more competitive.
