>MOS is just hard I think the important point is that "MOS scales". All the bipolar technologies never had anything like Dennard scaling, which was the backbone of Moores Law.

One obvious answer may be controlled nuclear fusion. But then you realize that the manhatten project was not very expensive ($23B in todays money) compared to the current efforts on fusion like ITER ($20B). Unpopolar opinion: Maybe the Manh

Don't forget Falanx from Norway. They were acquired by ARM, turning into the Mali GPU.

Doesn't Tesla already heavily rely on "German engineering"? They have/had plenty of executives from German automotive companies, they own an automation company in Germany and their supply chain probably has many German c

These are just your run off the mill NIMBYs. Many of those are way past their employment age, just take a look at the pictures. There was also a counterprotest.

As already noted in the comments under the linked article: This device is currently seriously lacking software support, bordering on making it unusable. It's interesting to note that the company that developed the chip (Gigadevice) ini

When I read the title, I was actually hoping for a video tour of one of their fully automated 300mm Fabs. Unfortunately it seems that video material of cutting edge fabs on the web is scarce, and what is available does not really show the f

Yes, it's ASML and their technology partners in Europe (Zeiss, Trumpf, many others). ASML is really at the core of bleeding edge semi. Their lithography equipment is basically unchallenged in the industry. Noone can make a 7nm CPU with

These articles always feel like i missed something. I have stayed with Firefox all the time, never switched to Chrome. Why should I have switched to Chrome, again?

This looks a bit like SEO spam. All of the articles barely have any content and are only accessible via key words.

Nice article. I would be interested in learning more about the rendering pipeline. Is anybody aware of a more detailed description? Or an online datasheet? Btw - already EDO DRAM favours reading entire memory blocks/lines. My suspicion

All specs are defined for 80% reflective objects? What do they assume here? A retroreflective street sign? Unfortunately there are no standards (yet) to benchmark different LIDAR solutions, but most of their competitors stick to more realis

>AVRs, like ARM Cortex, are SOCs (System On a Chip) but have really excellent peripheral devices compared to the ARM Cortex I've used. A 100% seconded. Check out their new line of ATtiny devices. They start at 0.30USD/pc, but c

A much faster way to understand the central message of "Start with Why" would be to watch the TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4ZoJKF_VuA Is the book worth reading, in addition? I see very mixed reviews

Well, this seems certainly straight forward from an information theory angle of view: - Each pixel represents one bit. - Hence, we should try to increase information entropy. That's all there is to it? Certainly not, since we are creat

I wonder, wouldn’t some of the Chinese fpga startups be more receptive to cooperate with an open source project? The Eda industry is ripe for disruption, and it seems the incumbent Chinese semi players may become the catalyst. See also, how
