What civilian market drone has the 8.5kg explosive payload of a Javelin warhead? Because that’s what the Switchblade 600 has.

Because low flying aircraft are harder to detect than high flying aircraft. More over when their rcs has been significantly reduced. It’s not “invulnerable” no more than any stealth aircraft, submarine, tank, or any other platform is. It’s

You need mass on target to reliably kill heavily armored targets. A drone dropping grenades doesn’t have that payload capacity.

Switchblade 600’s have the same warhead as the Javelin. With 8.5kg of explosives, it’s an entirely different category of weapon than the drones you’re thinking of which had closer to 200g of explosives.

IFS has just announced Amazon as a customer with a design on 18A. Microsoft is also expected to tape out one design. They’re not going to challenge TSMC this decade, but becoming the #2 fab 2030 is achievable.

A sale isn’t going to happen. Intel has had a rough quarter but their lunar lake launch looks promising, beating Qualcomm’s offerings on battery life and performance.

It isn’t. But Boeing failing and turning the commercial airline market into an Airbus monopoly is bad.

They’re 4-5 nodes behind Intel today, with no EUV machines let alone High NA EUV. They’re just not relevant in leading edge in the slightest.

Considering how much of Amazon has become just merchants who buy on Alibaba and sell on Amazon, or even outright Alibaba sellers, I’m shocked that it hasn’t had any blowback.

You’re not getting down voted because it’s a secret. You’re getting down voted because it’s a red herring. The US shut down its primary nuclear pit production plant because of criminal environmental violations [1]. That was far more impactf

How Amazon has face no repercussions for so many overtly fake products on their store completely baffles me.

That’s an awful idea. Startups need cash that cash, now. Wasting it on tax bills for evaluations that don’t become reality would just make everything worse and reduce runways.

China fought Vietnam after America. It didn’t go very well. It’s a defacto island with difficult terrain to the south, west, and north, while the first island chain keeps the lid in it. It hasn’t been until recently that it had a navy which

Shareholders already have huge risk and have lost big on Intel. Leading edge is too cutthroat, if it goes to bankruptcy it will be too late to ever catchup. It’s probably already too late and we just don’t know that we’re living in a Chines

While I agree their comp is abysmal, if Intel fails America is completely screwed. TSMC will never place leading edge in America and Beijing has the most advanced fabs in the world, which they’re already largely blocked from using, in rocke

There’s only a handful of leading edge customers. If you can’t peal off TSMC customers you’re toast.

by onepointsixC 2y ago
Who will be their customers? Intel’s woes are all because their fabs fell behind, if they were fabless they would just go to TSMC. Global foundries could keep up and had to give up on leading edge. Without Intel as their own customers Intel

It’s trailing edge. TSMC is doing it to soak up subsidies, deny it to others and avoid stick policy solutions. But they will never put leading edge outside of Taiwan, and should they become a true monopoly with Intel and Samsung throwing in

We haven’t had a world war since because nuclear weapons had deterred it. The UN hasn’t prevented anything.

You need new teachers then. The US was deeply involved long before Pearl Harbor, even if it didn’t have boots on the ground. The Soviets didn’t die out naturally, but due to the fierce competition with the US which they could not sustain th

This statement is applicable to the US killing of Osama Bin Laden and is a perfect example of how beyond parody useless the UN is. Terrorists purposely use failed states and states which may have security apparatuses which are sympathetic t

Russian EW is not even close to American. Excalibur just uses GPS, just about any EE here could come up with a jammer. Cruise missiles use terrain tracking in addition to other means so they can operate with in a contested environment.
