Not tntn, but I've been following this and it seems to be both Intel's now decades long history of very bad high level engineering and personal management catching up with their crown jewel, and being more aggressive than TSMC's initial 7nm node. Perhaps Intel depending on a particular lithography? technique that TSMC isn't, or isn't yet heavily, but we don't really know, no one authoritative is talking, and Intel is still claiming 10nm is going to make it.
People landed on the moon and returned in 1969. No robot could do that—we didn't have the tech.

Even now it would be a tall order. The moon walkers didn't just scoop up a random bunch of rocks, they selected specific rocks that were chosen to prove or prove the geologists' hypotheses, drilled 10 foot core tubes, chipped pieces off large boulders, climbed mountains and steep hills, and set up complex, long-running experiments that would continue broadcasting to earth. Heck, they even sent a geologist to the moon, because a trained scientist can recognise what a human with a fixed camera cannot.

I would bet that a pair of humans could do in a week what all of the Mars landers put together have done to date (apart from land on opposite sides of the globe). Don't discount human intelligence, ingenuity, and physical ability. Robots are great for assembly line work, but not exploring unknown territory.
I'm not sure why the top comment for a story about Chinese politics is "From an American's point of view, the government is evil, because REASONS". An entirely predictable discussion ensues.
Cool project, cheap mocap is a quite an interesting field.

I would have expected a system based purely on such sensors would start to drift and accumulate errors over time. Are there any tricks used to compensate for that?
The full story on how Intel managed to fuck up 10nm so badly may not see the light of day for years if ever. But generally, it seems that Intel tried to make too many changes in one generation. They probably wanted their 10nm to be the most advanced process that didn't require EUV lithography. Some features of their 10nm process ended up not working (evidence points to the cobalt interconnects as one of the hang-ups). In the meantime, it looks like EUV is coming along nicely.

They compounded their problems by essentially stopping microarchitecture development on 14nm, which is why eg. their laptop processors still don't support LPDDR4, and they're still shipping basically the same CPU core they released in 2015. Coupling microarchitecture and fabrication development has at times been an advantage for Intel, but for the past few years it's been a huge mistake, and they've promised changes to their design processes so that they don't get stuck like this again in the future if fab advances aren't ready when new microarchitectures are.

TSMC naturally doesn't have this problem, because they're a pure play foundry. Their customers have to each make their own bets on when new fab processes will be truly ready, and how well they will perform in practice.
That seems overly aggressive to me. Unless I absolutely had to, I would not respond to either of those follow ups.

Are these internal or external emails? I could see how it might be more appropriate with internal recipients.
Totally agree! It's a fascinating tangent - but didn't want to distract OP :-)
I don’t find this persuasive at all. Over-population of humans on this planet is the root cause of the impending climate disaster. Jamming more people into cities is just going to fuel the population explosion. I think we have to find a way to reduce the population to a sustainable level.

Abstinence
every article preaches the same absurd fallacy: "users update the OS more in so or so"

Users have absolutely no say! Planed obsolence does.

every single device could be running the latest version just fine. But the manufacturer intentionally decide to not offer (or allow!) the update on not cases.

This is pure greed over consumer rights (or respect).

want the latest security patch on your 2yr old $600 device? too bad, trhow it in the landfill and buy a new one (often with worse features)

> I guess one of the articles is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20014408 I think that articles for and against homeopathy are autokilled. Perhaps the OP can write to the mods.

This article is marked "[dead]", not "[flagged][dead]", so it wasn't killed by user flags. Either the domain is banned, or the article was killed by a moderator.

Since that article looks OK (it's a summary of scientific research), I've "vouched" it, and it's now alive again.
The argument that 0-100 being an intuitive and useful daily use scale is actually a good one.

However, everything else falls flat.

Nobody actually uses decimals with celcius, because nobody can tell the difference between 8.2 degrees and 8.7 degrees. It's just 8 and 9.

Zero being freezing is a critical number to know, because that's when you can get black ice (+/- wind-chill) and snow.

Knowing that 35 is grossly hot is no more difficult than knowing -32 is freezing.

Celcius has simple ranges:
Below 0: it's freezing, bundle up
0-10: it's cold outside, wear a jacket
10-20: good for physical activity, sweater and light jacket required
20-30: it's comfortable outside
30+: stay in the shade

That said, all our appliances (oven, barbecue) use Fahrenheit and I have no idea what temperature to cook at in celcius.

It also doesnt mean nobody will drop Netflix. If you are paying money to Netflix and you are consistently not finding the content you expect to watch, you are going to question the value of your subscription. Some will cancel if they find the value too low.
This is a myth. Advertisers love attention, love drama, love everything that makes a crowd gather. If you could avertise at public executions they would do just that.

Attention is attention.
It's not uncommon -- especially where you don't have to pay an auctioneer -- to enter some number of fake bids to make it evident bidding has started. When there's just one, you can assume that happened, and impute no dishonesty.

The reason an auctioneer matters is they typically are paid a (sometimes decreasing) percentage of the final bid, or a (sometimes lower) percentage of the reserve, if there are no bids. But details vary.
Or, as is the case in New York, building only luxury housing targeted at attracting wealthy out-of-towners (either people moving in from the suburbs or people moving from far away for tech jobs), which does little to alleviate the problems in other socieconomic strata.
Assholery can be relative, but this argument is still true.

I.E. you could say, “my website is full of people, who I think are assholes, but I don’t know what to do!” and this could be a problem.

In addition, I find that “people who don’t care when they are told that their actions might be harming others” is a pretty easy way to define an internet asshole.

Sure, if we're taking 'existential threat' literally it's probably not in the sense that it won't end all human life on Earth. If we take it a little looser though it is a big threat to modern civilization and that will be pretty difficult to restart just because we've mined so many of the easily available energy sources and resources.

TSMC just manufactures the designs. The designs are still required to be made by the customer of TSMC.
The smart phone market and the related chipset is seeing the same jump in performance that personal computers saw in their first decade.

Could Windows 95 run on a computer from 1985?

My 2009 era Core 2 Duo Dell E6500 - that I still own (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-Latitude-E6500-Not...) had 8 GB of RAM, gigabit Ethernet, a 1920x1200 display, 160GB hard drive, etc. Besides the processor, those are still decent specs for today and even the processor is good enough

The iPhone of 2009 was a 3GS - 320x480 display, 256MB of RAM,802.11G, with a single core 400Mhz processor and slow video graphics by today’s standards.

Compare that to the specs of even the low end $475 iPhone 7.

The Core 2 Duo was already a 64 bit processor. The iPhone didn’t ship with a 64 bit processor until four years later.
Not sure how this is possible. ARM withdrew its license, and so did SD Association (whose IP would presumably need to be on the chip as well): https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/22/18635326/huawei-arm-chip-.... Or maybe they're just saying "we'll make whatever designs you send to us, even if they are in violation of your own licensing deals with IP holders" hoping that Huawei won't be so reckless as to put in any orders. Seems like a legally precarious position to be in.
if Netflix were smart they'd try to push a network package deal -- where you can signup for disney, hbo, amazon, through netflix and they take $2 or something off each subscription as incentive, users get single billing for all streaming, you'd pay the normal price or maybe get $5 off if you buy all networks for like $50 or $60. disney, hbo, amazon still get their $$ but Netflix makes some off the top, could be all the providers network and create the same deal for each other, but whoever sells & bills the packaged deal gets the extra $2-3 kickbacks.
Not a lot here on managing up, or serving as an effective conduit for decisions made above a manager’s level.

In my experience, these are at least as challenging for someone moving from an individual contributor to a management role.

>If you are playing chess and Gary Kasparov comes along and tells you what your next move should be, you can disagree with him, and you might even be right, but given his expertise in chess, his move is most likely going to be better than yours and it's worth considering

If you already had a plan to win the game, but have no idea how to continue Kasparov’s line, then it doesn’t matter how strong his move is, you’re just going to be shooting yourself in the foot by making it.

In technology though, things are different. You can precisely quantify the strength of a chess move, you usually can’t even imprecisely quantify the strength of most advice about technology. In my experience, experts tend to be no better or worse at separating their own personal opinions from more objective truths.

In any case, the appeal to authority shouldn’t be necessary. If an expert is right about something, they should be able to explain to a non-expert why they’re right.
High-demand cities building more have a positive problem, but it's a real problem despite the sign.

The cities now housing more people now also support more economic activity, jobs, and development which makes the job markets even better, brings in more interesting opportunities and thus even higher demand. It becomes a more attractive place despite the housing shortage, and thus the demand grows even higher despite the supply growing as well.
Why don't we try it first?
How would it be possible for building more housing to /not/ work is the real question. The cost per square footage may have constraints with overhead and not operating at a loss but adding more housing should slow the rate of growth at very least.

Even if taken to the illogical extreme of "what if the entire population of earth was concentrated in San Francisco" adding in sufficient infastructure and housing would lower costs compared to not doing so. Even if it is higher than before it became so dense that the Sears Tower is now considered a mid-rise.

There is this disturbing trend of supply and demand denialism for housing which simply cannot end well.

So, part of what set me off was the emphasis on "10 being so young", because it is simply inaccurate. 10 really isn't that young for chess prodigies. Indian GM Praggnanandhaa was an International Master at 10. Google "chess prodigy" and the first line of videos includes one about a 3-year-old prodigy vs Karpov.

In hindsight I could have just called BS on your comment. But when the content of the BS happens to exactly intersect with painful memories from the past (which I specifically alluded to in earlier comment about social isolation, insecurity, etc), and when you don't reply when I ask you to share more about your intentions or background — that's a red flag for my finely tuned troll detector.

Pro tip: if you want to ask deeply personal questions without looking like a troll, all you need to do is give context by sharing a bit with vulnerability from your own experience.
"The problem is not this or that or some other thing!! The problem is there is not enough housing!"

This is what people/companies say who are deeply invested in making scads of money from sky high housing prices.

It's a ruse, a distraction, a canned answer designed to ensure the finger is not put on the real problem.

The real problem is that housing cannot be both affordable and a financial instrument.

The difference with ARM:

- US can bar US companies from working with ARM, and nothing changes for them short term (companies simply keeping using their masks)

One minor point: Emails to alumni.stanford.edu addresses are handled independently from (and outside of) other Stanford mail infrastructure. Looking at the MX records right now, it looks like they're using Google for mail processing (which would include their spam filtering).

(For non-Stanford people: Assuming you graduate and don't come back in some other capacity, your @stanford.edu mailbox stops working, becomes forward-only for at least a short time, and your @stanfordalumni.org address becomes primary. See https://alumni.stanford.edu/get/page/perks/alumniemail/faqac... for more info.)
Which is the reason why Google has finally added an update clause to their services contract, as OEMs are starting to not pay attention to their new versions.

If the wrong people (investors rather than residents) are buying the houses then building more may only stoke a bubble.

The demand for housing covers both people who need a place to live and the countless other reasons people buy houses (an apartments/condos etc). They are a place to invest or park money. So when a bringing more supply online you have to be careful that it targets the correct demand.
But according to Kraemer Manes’ filings in the Wolfe case, business cannot be held responsible for what other people say about them online. The law firm argued in its reply brief seeking dismissal that Wolfe’s theory would open a Pandora’s box of liability for any business that failed to police online reviews for accuracy.

That's preposterous. People (for the most part) don't just sit around writing fake reviews for companies they have no dealings with. If fake reviews about an organization exist, they were commissioned by the organization or its associates. I guess you could try to get a competitor in trouble by creating obviously fake reviews and hoping said competitor gets taken to court over them; but that seems like a lot of trouble, high risk, and not something worth worrying about.

It will be interesting to see what comes out of this case.

I'd add to that the predilection for hiring young engineers and overlooking older ones. While it's true that older ones can get stuck in past practices, they also recognize things that have been tried before, seem like good ideas, but just don't work for non-obvious reasons.

For example, implicit declaration of variables in programming languages.

A strong team will have a mix of older and younger engineers.
Macros (including both preprocessor and coprocessor kinds, and both hygienic and unhygienic), goto, parameterized types (especially GADTs; what restrictions apply depend on the program language), inline assembly code (and perhaps also inline C, SQL, LLVM, or whatever is applicable to the particular programming language in use), pattern matching, currying, byte arrays, lambda functions, range limited types (for purposes of program optimization), conditional compilations (by use of macros), evasive and non-evasive exceptions, setjmp/longjmp, compile-time calculations and assertions, zero-length arrays, non-Unicode mode, better bit manipulation operators, having enough ropes to hang yourself and also a few more just in case, etc.

(Note, however, there are different program languages for different uses, and some things may be not applicable, or only partially applicable, to some kind of programming languages, I think.)
Note his hypothesis that condos are the core of the problem -- they aren't rented, they're purchased with credit by young professionals who "spend the creditworthiness" they gained by moving to a creative-class city, and live in them until they sell them to other incoming young professionals. There could be plenty of rental demand that isn't affected by building lots of dense primary-residence condos that just attract more of the same. He does wonder at the end what would happen if you built so much housing that you broke that cycle, but that would be hard.

Basically he's saying there are two tiers of housing consumers, and building dense condos does nothing at all for the lower tier who can never bridge the creditworthiness gap to get into them.
You mean something like "If you like your health care plan you can keep it"? ...or how about the "anti-muslim video that spurned spontaneous protests" across the middle east?
In any event, by and large, most doctoring / half-truths are initiated by major news sources, and the majority of these defame Republicans and/or Republican ideals. It would be redundant for democratic politicians to get involved.
You also have to be careful about who the authority is and how they got to be an authority. Gary Kasparov obviously got to his place via a metric which is hard to argue against; you don't know how a senior dev got promoted to be a senior dev. I know a senior "engineer" but really a dev who's rewritten this one piece of software, first in go, then in c++, then in go, over the course of a year. There are no unit tests and no integration tests. Documentation is spotty. A second senior who has a PhD in engineering and no go experience started work and she immediately found several race conditions and complained that the code was written in a fashion that was provably incompatible with concurrency.
The trick is that ARM China is Chinese company with Chinese controlling stake, and completely separate licensing policies from ARM UK.

Can you elaborate on this? I don't know much about financial instruments and would like to know why these two are mutually exclusive.
Building more housing in existing urban areas as a practical matter just means increasing the real wealth and income of the landlord class. If we _really_ wanted to solve the housing crisis, it would be through a homesteading program where new cities were created in empty land and people were encouraged to move there by being offered a plot of land for a filing fee and the promise to actually live there.
That's mentioned in the article: "The new Core i9-9900KS uses the same silicon currently in the i9-9900K, but selectively binned in order to achieve 5.0 GHz on every core, all of the time."
Condos are miniature money machines in a low-interest-rate environment. There always will be a high demand for money machines.

When/if we cross over to a secular bear market for credit in which interest rates broadly increase reliably for a number of years, the problems with affordability largly will subside. Until then....
I'm not a health professional.
Most people won't need additional vitamins IF they ensure that their diet covers all the recommended food groups.
You should consider eating a "plant based" diet, avoid processed meats (sausages, ham & bacon) and eat plenty of fish. The diet eaten by most people lacks fibre, so if you are smart you will research its health benefits.
My doctor recommends a daily vitamin D tablet and I agree that there are many benefits provided.
Research the "Mediterranean diet", people who follow it tend to live long, healthy lives.
