I think there are a lot of ECEs that work in software. A lot of my classmates from my EE undergrad went to software despite getting a more hardware centric education because software was offering more money. I imagine…
My understanding is that it is ARM's parent company Softbank that stands to benefit rather than ARM looking to reinvest the money to fuel growth. ARM would benefit only slightly, as its employees have RSUs that the…
I read it more as, clients have a mix of questions. Clients don’t go through the system everyday and likely have some general worries and procedural questions as a result. Clients also have a case and need to coordinate…
The language on their website implies that they act collectively in the event of a veto “A vetoed bill can become law if two-thirds of the members of each house vote to override the Governor's veto.”[0]. Practically…
My understanding is that it is more a consequence of politics than the system... Sure you have a veto proof majority on this bill, but what about what comes next? The governor is able to stop "tyranny of masses" by…
I think that you can at least choose for photos you take to not have location data at all in camera settings. I found out because the feature of mapping of where your pictures where your pictures were taken did not work…
True. That is part of the reason why only 3 of maybe 30-60 layers are that small. Analog gets some signal integrity benefits from larger transistors, and often we have fairly large fets for low rdson and high voltage…
It looks like the scale rating the energy efficiency of the fridges aged out of being useful. From the article: "Eventually, more than half of the products on the market were labelled A++ and A+++". The change means a…
The text of the comunity post is: 'YouTube has decided our Arc A380 review is "18+ only" and "not suitable for ads." This hurts views and revenue. Please share the video around manually since YouTube is restricting who…
Gasoline is maybe 5 dollars a gallon and contains some 35kwh of energy. When burning gas in an engine we don't get 35kwh [1], but that is what is there. Lets imagine we are building a gallon of gas with perfect…
Its been a bit since I watched, but he raises a few issues: 1. Many NFTs are fundamentally lacking a copyright. Only humans, not animals or even programs can create copyrightable works. So NFTs that are generated may…
I should have mentioned explicitly that: average power = capacity factor * max power Thus it is clear why nuclear is .9, it doesn’t vary much in its generation. The max is only a bit more than the average. Capacity…
I believe that what is happening is that the rated capacity of a power plant is its maximum output times its capacity factor. Say we have a solar plant that produces a maximum of 1 GW in optimal conditions with a .15…
I took it to mean double digit percent, but now I am also thinking it is confusing wording.
I think that this is a really interesting move by Intel. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks this is an interesting way for Intel to get at TSMC. A few years back there was a cross licensing agreement between TSMC and…
I have some done some tests on 2900mAh Samsung cells from 2008. I have tested about 50 cells so far that were pretty abused, meaning they were discharged to less than 2.2V for several months. This is very bad as their…
I guess the benefit of google’s speed test is that if ISPs try to artificially speed it up, they run a good chance of accidentally increasing the bandwidth of youtube.
I took ıt to mean that theır completive advantaged was mıtıgated because of the pandemıc. Normally wıth thıs lead TSMC would make much more than Intel, SMIC, ect., but because of the demand by the pandemıc all companıes…
Generally old chips are good, depends on the purpose. Some things like the f35 would like to use TSMC’s fabs. But not every chip is for only processing and larger process have their advantages for certain applications…
I think what you say is correct, its so much easier to fire a missile than it is to stop one. Honestly, reliability and cost are bigger drivers than raw performance. The scenario is a bit bad I can admit, and did admit.…
I would argue the opposite, that it is a huge deal for defense. Imagine if the situation is missile defense, both the missile and the defense systems are computerized and not only the milliseconds but also the…
Mainly more points of failure, and additional weight to my knowledge. The electric motor allows superior city driving due to the nice fact that you have regenerative breaking and much more efficient low speed operation…
Yes and no. TSMC's process node gives some hard upper limit to what can be built, but whether you can make your design that compact is an open question. One consideration is that while we think of each transistor as…
I have heard rumors that AMD had a closer relationship with TSMC than NVIDIA. I have found that a bit weird as NVIDIA seems to move some higher margin silicon despite vague claims that NVIDIA is hard to work with. These…
Part of the issue is that many of the neurons in a neural network end up contributing little to the performance. This is why the practice of pruning, the removal of neurons that don't contribute much, exists [1].…
