Analog circuits exist and are widely used in some applications including for stuff like inference in AI models. The issue is that they are somewhat inexact which is a huge problem for most conventional code. As for circuits which work in a

It's exceptionally difficult to make a large airliner explode like a gas station in a 1980s action movie by hitting it with an inert missile-sized body. You could certainly cause damage which would cause it to eventually crash but TWA

That would cause a fire, not a detonation. The same way gas tanks don't actually explode if you shoot them, they spring leaks and those leaks may catch fire but actual booms require very specific circumstances. Specifically, they requi

TWA 800 violently exploded in mid air. That would not be caused by an inert missile impact. The high speed impact of an inert body into an aircraft the size of a 747 is not a reasonable explanation for a violent in-flight breakup on top of

Missile damage to aircraft leaves very distinct and VERY obvious traces as you would expect from a bunch of shrapnel suddenly slicing through the fuselage at hundreds of different points. If you want an example look at the reconstructed fus

In practicality there was also another solution in the ancient world. If you're going conquering you're probably going somewhere with people to conquer. Those people probably have food. Just take theirs.

Generative models attempt to model their training data. Essentially, they try to be a model of the underlying data distribution from which all samples in the training data were drawn from. A model of that distribution which cannot reproduce

Strictly speaking, Intel isn't trying to do this in one go. They have an entire internal node which they are developing exclusively to disentangle the risk of GAAFET transistors and backside power delivery. The internal node uses FinFE

by thunderbird120 4y ago
At least in theory both 20A and 18A are significantly superior to what TSMC has planned for its initial N2 node. Backside power delivery is the largest single factor but Intel will also likely have a density advantage on top of that. TSMC&#

This is not a pure Ekranoplan and can fly high enough to avoid most mountains, let alone large waves. It's most efficient flying lower but it can act more like a normal plane if necessary.

I swear HN's discussions on anything Intel related are always bottom of the barrel. They've been very clear about their messaging over the past few years. They are currently spending large amounts of money on capital expenditures

They are very different types of weapons. The NLAW's range is inferior at a basic level and the missile itself does not actually track the target making shots out to the edge of it's theoretical range very difficult, unlike the Ja
