It's not wafer size, but reticle size which is the limit. 300 mm (diameter) is standard now, yet reticle size is only a fraction of that.

Portion size is very cultural. People from the 50s would be horrified by how large meals have gotten.

Solving turbulence is quite literally a millenium prize problem with a 1 million USD price tag to it. Solving it would make you famous and almost certainly give you a Fields medal as well. It’s just a particularly difficult problem.

Nobody was talking seriously about photonic accelerators 10 years ago. Optical computing last had a hype cycle in the late 80s/early 90s.

Photonic integrated circuits are almost as old as regular integrated circuits.

Reputational hit from propping up literal fraud. Opportunity cost from not partnering with better companies in the space.

Nothing at all. The friction is that it costs a decent chunk of money to submit patents. It’s not worthwhile to submit gibberish ones that will never be accepted, or never hold up in court if accepted but challenged. But there is probably s

Lots of people upload their research to ResearchGate (even though I really dislike the site for other reasons), make it available from their research group's web page, or in some fields upload it to ArXiv or BioRxiv. It's usually

This essay is basically yet another pamphlet for puritan work ethics. Funny that it comes at a time where "faith" in hard work as a main determinant of success is at a low point: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?i

Then it becomes a matter of game theory as to whether you cash in the bug immediately to empty the pot, or wait for it to grow even more from the positive feedback loop of it being "obviously bug free if it grew this large". For s

It also determines who is in the wrong. Cars normally have to yield to pedestrians and are usually presumed at fault if they hit one. The fine is just an extension of formalizing who has the right of way.

Licensed professions have such things as "reserved acts". This is the issue at hand. Offering legal engineering advice is apparently protected. It's not only that the the judge should dismiss the opinion if presented, it&#x27

His exemption makes his field of practice much more limited than a fully licensed engineer and didn't seem to cover making legal advice in court. Court experts should indeed be held to high standards. At this point, being called an eng

China should be the bellwether for this as they had early lockdowns that initially decreased emissions. They still managed to emit more cumulatively in 2020 than in 2019. They keep increasing their emissions while everyone is distracted. Th

Ranking only makes sense in a venue where the number of papers or presentations is limited. There many online journals of good reputation that will publish anything over a certain (obviously not perfectly well-defined) bar. The number of pa

If reviewers are de-anonymized, the opposite of what you think will happen. Nobody other than the most socially stunted would be willing to write a harsh review and make an enemy for life. People are petty. Most fields in academia are incre

You can’t be as candid in your criticisms if the identity of the reviewers is made available to the authors. This is the main reason they’re made anonymous. If you think there can be a conflict of interest, the main mechanism in most fields

Bell Labs in its heyday was still reputed to be publish or perish, or patent or perish, without any tenure system either. At my university, we had a previous Bell Labs researcher that said he had been pushed out. As a corporate researcher,
