I think this isn't going to hapen. The economy of the scale favors monoculture and it combines well with automation. The most likely outcome will be that combine harvester not requiring a driver and a synchronous operation of multiple

I've not even seen one on the streets in NL. I think it makes a lot of sense for deliveries within the country considering the distances. There seems to be a subsidy of of max 115k [1] (In Dutch). I'm surprised that big companies

Yeah so your offshore investment ruling is applicable for domestic investment in the Netherlands too.

It works differently as it is after you make the gain, not at the moment. You can have a start up, buy the inital shares for 1k, sell it for 1M, pay no weakth tax (or close to 0) if your valuation during filing a tax return wasn't abov

It depends. I have been in this situation several times. The benefit of the current regulation is that you can pay 0 income tax over stock options if you exercise them at the value of FMV. This is extremely beneficial for early employees. T

Jensen id betting on two technologies: integrated silicon photonucs, aka optical compute + communication (realistic bet), and Quantum computing (moonshot bet).

Yes. Design is hot but manufacturing is in a down cycle at the moment. Another hot field is EDA software development but it's dominated by 3 giant companies.

For start-up founders: There are countries, like the Netherlands, where there is no capital gains tax. Move to such a country.

There's nothing inherently wrong with it. Though it creates a competitive advantage and forces other countries to do the same, of not more. Everyone starts pointing fingers at each other and imposing tariff at the end. Plus this puts p

So US will continue subsidizing its R&D while complaining the rest of the world is doing so? What changed then?

Yes and no. It's hard to enter chip design directly. But eventually all chips are used in a PCB and there's a lot going on on that interface. It's called application engineering or systems engineering in the field and that is

It's crazy hot now in semiconductors. Anyone with couple of years experience is approached by recruiters daily.

A close friend of mine is Chinese. He went back to China to join a HW start-up as a founding engineer 6 years ago. Then cane the sanctions. He said that was the best thing happened when I recently met him. Their company grew because Huawei

One thing to realize is the lifetime is a statistical thing. I design chips in modern tech nodes (currently using 2nm). What we get feom the fab is a statistical model of device failure modes. Aging is one of them. When transistors graduall

Electromigration and device aging are huge issues. I can't imagine a modern GPU having a lifetime longer than 3 years at 100C temperature. Though, it can be solved with redundancy at the cost of performance.

This assumes 100% utilization. Ralistically the utilization (active device area wrt total die area) 70-75% at best.

Capitalism as we know it so far only reacts after a crash happens because of the fear of crashing the economy with any corrective action. My very personal opinion is this is more psychological than scientific.

We make fun of the state run businesses of old communist regimes, how wasteful they were, how mismanaged they were, how they produced stuff nobody wanted and so on. I'm increasingly getting a similar feeling for VC fueled tech. It&#x27

Vienna is a better version of Munich for the things you seem to like. Have you been there?

by bgnn 1y ago
Depends on the European cities you are comparing it to. Any sizable Dutch city would be much more warm and inviting in my opinion. Compared to some French, Swiss, or German cities.. Yeah, Munich is definitely one of the better ones. Hamburg

The engineering samples are available and if a network equipment manufacturer or a hyperscaler chooses to use it, it can be in production quite fast. It's a bad idea though. This is the reason it's not adopted in any product.

True, but the continuous solution is just a limit condition of tge discrete one. It doesn't make it any harder or easier, at least from what I know fron calculus. The software tools use numerical methods to solve this type of problems

People think this is not relevant to real world problems but it actually is, albeit all the calculations aren't that relevant. Silicon substrate's resistance is basically an infinitely large grid of unut resistances at the distanc
