Well, all the computers I've ever programmed are made of circuits, and I've cobbled together a few hundred circuits in my life. I think it's good to understand the fundamentals of what you're doing rather than write it off as magic, and even though in some ways the von-Neumann-machine abstraction is unmoored from the underlying implementation technology, in other ways it is not.

Also, though, I want to bootstrap programmable autotrophic self-reproducing automata, in order to put an end to the scarcity of capital that is such a limitation on human potential. Those automata need control systems, and despite the obvious fabrication difficulties, solid-state electronic circuits have major speed and reliability advantages over the other alternatives.
What does it mean to be ahead in 7nm when you are years behind in getting your 10nm process into acceptable yielding mass production?

Of course he could have started with some real-world solutions, such as restoring the tax-deductibility of student loan interest lost in Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. He could have gone a little further, proposing aggressive tax credits for those who are paying their loans back or perhaps government programs, where, in exchange for working in an 'at-risk' area, the government makes your loan payment. No instead, Bernie promises something he'll most likely never be able to deliver. This is almost as bad as the current guy in the White House, who screwed all of the student loan borrowers with his tax 'act.'

> That you can’t describe them or put them into words doesn’t make them meaningless or valueless, it makes them _ineffable_.

The explanation that a drugged man loses his ability to think critically is waaay more simplistic, than an explanation, that the drug somehow gives useful thoughts, that change lives to the better, but for some reason can't be put to words.

The first option is additionally supported by people who after an experience fully regained control over their sanity, and claim, that there were no enlightening thoughts at all, they just thought there were. The second theory can't explain that without further complication.
The negative comments here are disappointing. ML is a fantastic tool for science, where it can propose a model that works as a starting point for getting to a model that works AND that you can understand.

This is quite common in physics, for example, where people are happy to build elaborate experiments just to poke at the universe in weird ways. An ML algorithm is a theorist's particle accelerator where they can treat it as something to be explored to gain insight.

The reason people are pissed about this is that we're doing this breadth-first, because the incentives make it that way. People are right to be concerned if we never get back to deeper analyses, but I'm not at all concerned.

At some point the low hanging fruit will be gone and every scientific community will be better off having these new results. As we get better at probing the black box, and we will because there's a lot of value behind doing so, we will start to shift back to the deeper questions.

So it turns out that microfluidics isn't really the best solution since you more or less need cooling channels between the layers and microfluidics is too big for that (without extreme pressure drops) for truly useful 3D integration.

Yes, this is what I came to the comments to say. For me, paying attention was much more important than trying to take notes. It's a shame this study didn't have a third group that didn't take notes at all.

I willing to take a punt and guess that the models they’re using are using short term/isolated data, not 10 years worth of your entire browsing history.
Node names stopped meaning anything a long time ago, it's not really 3nm, that's just the marketing name. Think 11 inch "Footlong" but more extreme.

That being said, direct S/D tunneling is expected to become an issue at channel lengths of around 1nm, although anisotropic carrier mass can be used to delay this further.
They've yet to master their own 10nm process let alone 7nm. I don't doubt their processes outdo the competitors on actual die shrinkage but they've been having a hell of a time of it.

There is truth that CDR data is valuable. The problem with this article is the hyperbole the researchers use to describe the data.

1. Researcher says CDR contains all the raw data you send. False. It contains call detail records. Not your internet traffic. Not your Facebook calls. Not your icloud or WhatsApp messages.

2. The researchers here fail to share who was targeted and share almost no verifiable data to confirm what they found. Anyone could claim to have found a hack like they claim and get credit without providing any details to draw a big headline.

Seems like marketing not research.

I'm not sure I see hard top-down scale limits as a goal. I don't think this would be in the best interest of most people with a hand on the steering wheel of large social networks.

I'm imagining something more along the lines of: can we learn how to turn what small/niche networks do well into building blocks, and does that knowledge teach us anything we could use to (I guess adversarially) re-structure/reform some environments that are currently trust bonfires.
What a wonderful mission.
I've been following fab news for close to 2 decades already. I am familiar with all the major players in the market, but this article keeps mentioning SMIC.

Now I know SMIC since its creation, but afaik it has always been several nodes behind leading edge, and never scored any major contract. Without any large production contract, how does it get enough experience to even get to 7nm? UMC, their partner, pretty much gave up on 7nm already. TSMC has resisted all attempts at espionage. Is it from Samsung?
> For super low bitrate speech, (1.44MB/30 minutes is 6.4kbps), codec2 is better than Opus

At the top end of that, I think that's not the case. Certainly starting at 3200bps, Opus just becomes a non-option (and codec2 becomes an option).

I have a trove of librivox audiobooks in codec2 from some tests I did, and I've given some of them extensive listens to get a feel for it. Without an improved decoder that isn't a WaveNet, it's still not always fun trying to understand what is said.
I wonder what is the minimum resolution required, it really matters how widespread those checks can be right now, after they are adopted by the doctors.

Going against what seems to be the prevailing thought in this thread. Here's why and how I take notes primarily on a laptop.

When the lecture, presentation or meeting starts a have a macro that creates a new Evernote note prepended with the date and starts recording into QuickTime. Throughout the exchange, I am typing up quick and dirty first draft notes using a macro to screenshot the portion of the QuickTime window displaying the time elapsed. I also employ symbols/emojis to flag points in the notes that are important‼️, should be returned to and reviewed later , are confusing, raise a question ect...
Whenever there is downtime (e.g. interruption or lull in the presentation) I work my way back and start improving the notes: Organizing them into a hierarchy with headings, indentation and boldation. Also, I Hyperlink useful, relevant or referenced URLs.

At the bottom of the document I have a separated section called TAKEAWAY containing a bulleted list of questions to ask, things to follow up on, and key points. I can always ⌘↓ > ↩ to add an item line to this section.

At the end of the exchange, I check my TAKEWAY section and clarify any questions. I stop recording and add the audio file to the top of the document. This leaves me with a reference document I can revisit, clean up, and reference later.

The process of making the note visually appealing and easy to read by cleaning up, formatting, and adding hyperlinks accomplishes a lot of the internalization handwriting does because it forces you to try to convey the kernel of the information being consumed in as well few formatted, organized words as possible.

Furthermore, I'm the type that really values immediately looking up unfamiliar referenced concepts/ideas so I don't misunderstand what/why something is said. As for diagrams, they can usually be incorporated by adding slides of the presentation, taking a picture of the whiteboard at the end, or just googling whatever the diagram was.

With the wonderful world of macros and automation I can change color, size, formatting, add lists; add hyperlinks, multi-media images, timestamps ect... and keep everything in an easy to read, search and share document.

Most importantly my handwriting is bogus. I really couldn't do it any other way.
I'd probably do the same if my PS2 was a slim model, but I have the fat, and used an older hard drive for it.

I'd love it if modern consoles like the Xbox One and PS4 supported any sort of network share hosting for games. They do support USB drives and I thought about using Linux Gadget USB to emulate a USB drive and store the backing file on the network share. Previously that wouldn't have really worked with the Raspberry Pis as the full sized models did not support USB OTG. It does look like the new Pi4 supports USB OTG over the USB-C power port.

Well many companies that offer you a service don't include the Subresource integrity Tag.

If they offer you a javascript and it has to change frequently to fix bugs, for instance, they don't want to be bothered with having to coordinate with all their customers to change the subresource integrity tag...

Nothing too major:

The top of the page has headings for: meeting subject, date, room/location (can help jog memory), attendees, 'page x of y' and a 'confidential' tick box so I can keep corporate strategy or personnel discussions separate and secure.

The bottom section is marked 'Notes / Actions' where I highlight things that need follow-up (by me or others) - this is far better that having, say, 12 pages of notes from a 3 hr meeting with a few bits of underlined, ringed or asterisked text somewhere therein. Later I can visually scan the bottom of each page and quickly see all meeting actions - and I will have drawn a manual tick box by all mine so I can mark them off when completed.

I don’t see why they can’t be both behind on “10nm” and ahead on “7nm”.
I remember when I was a teenager: a moonless night in the woods and my bicycle light was broken. It was so dark that I literally couldn’t see my hand in front of me. I could drive (slowly) because I knew that part of the street by hard and I knew there is a gravel patch on each side of the road. So I every time I entered gravel from the left I just turned a little more to the right and vice versa. And I knew I entered gravel by ear.

There was also a faint red light from a memorial site candle that I could use as a orientation point.

The thing was that I have never done this before (or after), nor did I think I ever would ever find myself in such a situation. I drove through that very road often at night also often without light because I had shitty broken bicycles, but this night was truly exceptionally dark and the darkest night I ever had seen since.

The question is, what would an AI have done in a similar situation (sensors go dark for some reason)?
AFAIK yes. You start to run into problems because the area you're trying to make a transistor in might not contain one of the dopant atoms which determine the semiconductor type. I believe hot carrier injection becomes more of a problem as well. At some point you probably run into quantum effects as electrons just start tunneling where they're not supposed to.

On top of all that, the design rules become crazy at small dimensions. You can't just make a sharp bend in a wire because the high frequency component of the bend causes ringing in the interference pattern of the EUV laser.

* - I'm just a software guy with a BSEE... I'm curious what a semiconductor designer has to say about all this.

Macs do weird stuff with font compositing, try toggling subpixel rendering in CSS [0] and watch the weight of your type completely change. :- )

Whatever they're doing, at least one of these modes has to be wrong.

Windows is a complete mess when it comes to text display, but that's nothing new, although to be fair to them, they do not screw this particular thing up.

FreeType2 in Firefox or a Chromium-based browser on X11/Wayland is spectacular, especially following the expiry of many ClearType-related patents, and the Adobe's contributions; with the various fontconfig settings which change the output, it doesn't noticeably change the weight (for a given size) for modes that people actually want to use (nobody's going back to v35).

OSX has an interesting approach, and if they could resolve their blending/filtering/rasterization/whatever (god only knows where their problems lie) problems; a lot of people like the tradeoff of legibility for accurate text sizes in a given weight, and that's OK.

[0]: Usually accomplished with -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased or -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale

CSS rules to disable subpixel rendering (because OSX still doesn't do it right) are littered all over the internet. Here's a random blog post from the front page of HN which has it applied to the body text probably because OSX made the text look inexplicably terrible for no good reason by default:

There's a reason this CSS property doesn't actually do anything on other platforms.

I have something similar set with Tasker to locate _my_ phone. That is, a particular word texted to my phone number will make the phone max out the volume, turn on the camera flashlight, and start making noises in the loop. I can also trigger this from my smartwatch[0].

I also have a "haptic test" function: press the button, the phone vibrates briefly. I originally created that check the delay on the Pebble-Tasker connection, but ended up using it almost every day to find my phone among the clutter in the house.

Tasker is amazing, if you have Android, I recommend checking it out.

[0] - misplacing a phone while having it still in Bluetooth range actually happened to me once long ago with a feature-phone. I looked and looked and couldn't find it. It was set on silent, so calling it didn't help. Then I noticed it's still connected via Bluetooth to my PC's phone management app, so I manually turned the ringer on, and discovered it deep within the mechanism of my bed. Finding it there without this trick would probably take me hours.
This is quite a stupid move from Canonical; even Arch Linux, that it's notoriously a distribution with very little concern for breaking changes, still has support for multilib, despite having dropped 32 bit native support more than a year ago. Why canonical would altogether drop multilib really puzzles me.

I don't have any numbers to support this, but I'd question whether "large majority" is accurate.

Yep. Here is some data:

76% of Americans say corporations have too much power
https://openmarketsinstitute.org/blogs/76-americans-say-corp...

In 1950, 60% of Americans had a favorable opinion of big business. In 2017, that number is 21%.
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/04/learnin...

IOW, the original poster is no longer an outsider when they rag on big business. They are in the overwhelming majority. They would have been an outsider in 1950, but not today.

This also goes in cycles. Teddy Roosevelt was wildly popular when he engaged in the busting up the hated Trusts. I think what we are seeing now is a return to that era, especially after all the outsourcing, low taxes paid, etc. It does seem like big business isn't really holding up its end of the social contract.

In fact, corporations have become such a boogeyman that everything is blamed on them. If you want to see true catastrophic environment devastation, take a look at Eastern Europe before the fall. It was horrific. Everyone knew -- back then -- that the west, with it's capitalism, had much cleaner air and took better care of nature than the socialist east. I often wondered about whether that was really true, or just one of those fashions that comes and goes.

What I think now is that what matters is power. The reason why the USSR and Eastern Europe were so awfully polluted compared to the U.S. and Western Europe was that when the state said "We need to increase steel production", then that's what they did and no one could stop them. They were absolutely single minded. They burned brown coal, dumped waste into lakes. No one could question them or stop them. Some bureaucrat said, "clear this forest" -- and it was cleared. That's why the air is unbreathable in China. Some well connected official said "Build a factory here" and they did, and no one can sue them or even challenge them.

Today, the situation is different in the west. The air is cleaner, the water is cleaner. The most polluted areas would be the overpopulated areas of China and India. 90% of the plastics flowing into the ocean come from 10 rivers in China and India. These are the places with the worst air quality. 1/3 of San Francisco's air pollution comes from China. I think, before that can really change, you'll need to empower local citizens to sue and demand improved conditions. It may be hard to sue a corporation, but it's even harder to sue a state owned enterprise, or the state as well. Empowering the individual is key. Here in the west, a bit of anti-trust would help, IMO. Make these beasts smaller and less powerful.
