Because "nm" doesn't mean nanometer anymore. Not in the context of CPUs anyway. Some time back, around the 34nm era, CPU components stopped getting materialy smaller.

Transistor count plateaued. Moore's law died.

To avoid upseting and confusing consumers with this new reality, chip makers agreed to stop delineating their chips by the size of their components, and to instead group them in to generations by the time that they where made.

Helpfully, in another move to avoid confusion, the chip makers devised a new naming convention, where each new generation uses "nm" naming as if Moore's law continued.
Say for example in 2004 you had chips with a 34nm NAND, and your next gen chips in 2006 are 32nm, then all you do is calculate what the smallest nm would have been if chip density doubled, and you use that size for marketing this generation. So you advertise 17nm instead of 32nm.

Using this new naming scheme also makes it super easy to get to 1.4nm and beyond. In fact, because it's decoupled from anything physical, you can even get to sub-plank scale, which would be impossible on the old scheme.

Edit: Some comments mention that transistor count and performance are still increasing. While that is technically true, I did the sums, the Intel P4 3.4Ghz came out 2004, if Moore's law continued, we would have 3482Ghz or 3.48 TERAHERTZ by now.
Many Strategies Fail Because They’re Not Strategies (2017)
On the other hand, if you are out driving and there's a flock of Canadian Geese walking across the road, try only slowing down to 5 to 10 mph. They are used to people stopping until they finish crossing so they freak out when you don't.

Note: I generally do not advocate purposely messing with animals, but geese are evil! Also don't do this if there are young that might not be able to get out of the way in time.

It's an interesting perspective to think of pre-agricultural (the 40k line is admittedly before that) humans as not standing out amongst other fauna, but on the other hand there is no reason to imagine them standing out any less than groups that stayed hunter-gatherers into modern times and those certainly do/did. They would not have left many traces identifiable after tens of millennia though, not now, not then.

General intelligence, by itself, appears to be just one possible strategy for adapting to the environment, not inherently superior considering that many species get along just fine with survival tactics "hardwired" for their environment. But it sure gives faster adaptability and humans had expanded into very diverse environments deep in the stone age.

What eventually set the human brain apart is the old cliche distinction of opposable thumbs. Back to topic, few things illustrate the value of our hands better that watching a crow headbutt an object with its beak, stop to ponder the results, then headbutt again because what other option does it have?
I seem to remember hearing something somewhere that for the time being, Chrome might internally actually continue supporting blocking webRequest listeners for the sake of private extensions used within the context of enterprise deployments of Chrome.
As long as that's true, maintaining a fork that allows blocking webRequest listeners for everybody should be comparatively easy. However the moment they are removing that feature for good and perhaps also start rewriting the network code, that's when things are going to be interesting for any forks that don't agree with that direction...

One application that seems to me like it should be a natural fit for Prolog is building a (human) schedule: class goes from 8-4, a student cannot take two classes simultaneously, Joe is not available on Wednesdays, etc.

I forget the specifics but every implementation of such a schedule tends up using lists and explicit recursion, (which I think is unpleasant in Prolog) In fact, most moderately complex solutions of any problem I’ve seen fall back on lists and explicit recursion. (I thought I was using Prolog to avoid all that!) That’s probably a shortcoming of the language.

I wish Apple stopped releasing new major versions every year. When they changed to the annual release cycle with 10.7, the time an OS X version was supported dropped also by one year (from 4 to 3 years).
Never knew..
Ok.. so instead of nm, it is used as density.
Shouldn't they just be using transistors per mm2, or maybe per cubic micron? mu3?

I guess it's the same as LEDs.. watts/lumen.

Adding to my previous post, a lot of people don't understand where 10nm EUV litho stands in the grand plan of thins.

"If EUV doesn't make a more performant chip, what it does?" EUV is there to alleviate extreme process costs associated with multiple patterning, and process cycle time.

Even if EUV tool does 1 exposure a little bit slower than quadruple patterning, it can do 4 patterning steps in one — a very huge thing in process technology.

You have then lessen the amount of thermal processes performed on the device. You may have more defects, but on overall higher quality, higher performance devices in the end.
If you park your car in a gear on a steep hill in wrong direction (e.g. into first with the front inclined down), it will roll.

And parking brakes by themselves are some of the most fail prone systems in the cars.
It seems reasonably likely that they will succeed. Intel's 10nm and its 7nm are very different beasts with 7nm arguably being a lot simpler thanks to EUV and a 2x density transistor improvement goal (vs 2.7x for 10nm). The lack of EUV and very high density goals for 10nm meant they had to do a lot of multi-patterning which ended up screwing their yields. That plus the uncharted waters of using cobalt interconnects rather than copper meant it was basically Intel getting overconfident and being too ambitious for their own good.

When we can process HD video, we come up with 4K. When we do 4K, we come up with 4K HDR. When we are done with that, we'll go for higher FPS. Or surround video. And then in stereo. And then do it with voxels and multiple depth channels from different PoV's.

And we didn't even start with intelligent assistants that don't require sharing your data with a cloud-based entity.

Just as an interesting aside does anyone have a list of weird engineering hacks used in these processes to get smaller and smaller transistor densities? There must be some very clever stuff to jam them in there and still be able to etch the lines.

No joke: I've retired a product where this kind of support was a substantial enough issue to negate profitability when all other factors were taken into consideration.

This wasn't a project management issue (as other posters have suggested), but a problem with the commercial model of the product: fundamentally the pitch over-promised to a degree that the product couldn't be run profitably.

Beyond this it also damaged our ability to work on more profitable and strategic areas. Opportunity cost is harder to quantify but it was obviously still a factor in the decision to retire the product.

> And at that moment it is about the pricing. If you charge hourly, you can iterate however long you want, you can have calls where you argue about usability and long term sustainability of your designs.

You can argue about usability all you want, or you can be part of a longer term process of measuring actual usage and make adjustments after actual users are using it. Between heat maps, click tracking, watching engagement numbers, A/B testing, etc, you can determine if goals are being hit. Are users falling away? Test out alternative UX, see what helps, commit to that. Lose the designer "this is what works best" attitude (not saying you have this, but enough I've worked with do). Help your client help their clients/users.

It's not how most design is thought of - at least in web projects. It's "design" up front - hey, we're using figma - look how awesome all this is! - we can 'design' for tablets and mobile and desktop!. But all the questions about "what happens here" and "how do I deal with a text label that was designed for 20 characters when most of the text data is 30+ characters?" - these get ignored after a client "signs off" on design, and making things "just work like what was approved already!" becomes an ongoing nightmare.

"Look - we did all this hard work of deciding how this should work - you need to just make it work now!" - I've been on the receiving end of these a few times. It's not really all that 'hard' to make decisions when you don't have to implement them. 1-2 years in to my software career, I thought this was a problem with me - I wasn't quite good enough with a piece of software to know how to implement XYZ, etc. This goes back to early VB days, and has compounded with web stuff - someone draws a static 2d picture, and this is supposed to somehow be a gold-standard for how every live interaction should 'feel'. After a couple years of this, I realized it's far less me (although a bit - I'm not perfect), but mostly the process itself, but it's what everyone still does.

If you want 'design' to serve the product/service, it needs to be an ongoing part of the process and budget, and take in to account everything that's learned when users actually use it. If devs need to react to changing use cases, the actual UI and UX may need to be adapted as new information is measured and learned.
Your claim is wrong in that "best talent" part.
Though, Yandex, from time to time, loose new grads, sad but true.
>4. Assuming you are doing well on #1, you shouldn't need to release updates on an hourly cadence. If there is a security vulnerability release a fix ASAP, but for new features bundle them together and release annually for mature software or quarterly/semiannually for software that is still being finished.

it sounds weird

So, basically you're writting feature X, then you have no feedback on it for e.g 3? 6? 10? months?

you can ship ready & internally tested features with bug fixes.

Isn't this a matter of communicating well with the customer? You make a very reasonable point here and it's clear to me that applying minor tweaks too often is disruptive and ends up accumulating costs. Surely the customer can be made aware of that?

In the worst case you can even bill them about it - or even impose a limit to the number of times they can apply minor changes within a day etc.

I agree that sometimes good communication (or good results anyway) means keeping some things from customers who are not technical because they might misunderstand them, but obfuscation of every detail of development is probably not the best way to work with someone who isn't a developer, no?
You can't make those modifications without others letting you. And when the others don't want that happening in their neighborhood, after 50 years of precedent they decide the best option is to prevent the problem and only allow housing that can fully accomodate the homeowner.

> Won't happen until/unless dedicated design folks have to provide support for their creations.

Frankly, I agree with you. The designers should have a stake in it. At the last place I worked, all designers received a daily report of costumer feedback gathered through the site. We attended monthly reviews of feedback and CSAT and summaries of customer care cases from the month, highlighting top trends and issues that the support staff were handling. We even had representatives from the support team attend our daily standups to raise issues and report back on our progress handling previous issues to the support team so they could be informed when customers asked about things. We even had goals around CSAT that impacted our bonuses. I used to read every single comment we received and even took the time to test and narrow down issues before working with a dev to find the root cause. We fixed some very nasty, but unusual bugs that way.

It comes down to the org: how mature is it with regards to CX and is everyone willing to make the effort to make it a priority?

We generally tax income/profit.

Taxes for all shareholders are deferred until they sell. Taxes for all retail businesses are deferred until they sell their product. Taxes for all homeowners are deferred until they sell their house. Taxes for all art/collectible investors are deferred until they sell.

It’s a matter of practicality and fairness. (Don’t make someone sell an investment solely to raise the cash to pay taxes on an unrealized gain. Don’t create paperwork that’s unnecessary. The government is a patient investing partner. They’re willing to wait to take their cut when you sell. They can borrow arms-length money in the meantime far more cheaply than you can anyway.)

Not directly related, but some other bird behaviors that I find fascinating:

Shrike (A.K.A. butcher birds) are predatory but since they are song birds they don't have talons to rip apart prey into manageable bites. Instead they impale their pray on thorns or barbed wire so that they can tear off bits with their beaks. They also use this to store food and have been known to use this to wait until the poison in certain insects degrades. During mating season, the number of carcasses that a male shrike has hung up is used to demonstrate its fitness to females.
