Electrochemical etching can be used to selectively remove material, and if a very small probe were used, perhaps it's possible to directly etch a channel where required to make a transistor, or to apply a voltage gradient to help cause a layer of silicon dioxide to form where insulator is required.

Actually, having uneven load is probably worse for GPUs than constant high load due to components contracting/expanding every time temperature changes (think rocking something from side to side to take it out).

For the same reason you might (needs detailed analysis) economically be better off overall by keeping the temperature in your house constant as opposed to saving energy with a schedule.
>Psychostimulants for ADHD are universally associated with better outcomes

When someone in the medical field starts talking about universal outcomes in relation to biological entities, my spidey sense goes crazy. As Eric Hoffer so eloquently put it, "We can be absolutely certain only about things we do not understand."[0] The pharmaceutical industry has strong incentives to emphasize benefits and downplay harm from drugs, especially in the long term effects[1]. That is assuming that the drugs are actually manufactured correctly[2]. And even drugs manufactured correctly can decay on the shelf into carcinogens at a million times the safe limit, and (almost) no one bothers to check[3]. I once sat through a doctor going through how to use the ADHD meds, and my head started to hurt. How to take one type before sleep so it kicks in just as the kid wakes up for school, but another works faster or slower, and on and on. And all of this from doctors (and medical students) who can tell you everything about how great drugs are but spend close to zero time learning about the uses of exercise in improving health outcomes[4].

Actually, nuclear fallout is present in everything.

Following Trinity test and the rest of nuclear testing campaign, every single living thing or any matter that has been processed in any way has been contaminated and shows high background radiation (compared to pre-Trinity test).

That's why some materials like steel from ships comissioned before Trinity test or lead ballast from sunken Roman ships is highly sought after where low background radiation material is required.

I used to think that was the case too, but it’s not universally, it depends on the person.

For some people, Twitter’s forced short-form focuses their content, cuts out all the bs, and reduces it down to its essence. It prevents them from being overly wordy, and is one of the best available antidotes to modern information overload.

And if the essence of subject is fundamentally nuanced, the twitter discussion still can be too, though it may take multiple tweets to address all of it (a tweet-storm).

If a subject requires long-form, then people tend to write that in a blog post or a paper and link it on twitter, and then discuss whatever aspects of it their followers have questions about.

But again you have to do what the OP article says, and only follow people with shared interests and who meaningfully engage with their followers, and don’t just use Twitter to broadcast stuff without then discussing it (eg accounts with less than 1000 followers).

> they should smoke BLAKE2 and probably even BLAKE3 in dedicated hardware

That's certainly possible, but there are subtleties to watch out for. To really take advantage of the tree structure in K12, you need a vectorized implementation of the Keccak permutation. For comparison, there are vectorized implementations of the AES block cipher, and these are very useful for optimizing AES-CTR. This ends up being one of the strengths of CTR mode compared to some other modes like CBC, which can't process multiple blocks in parallel, at least not for a single input.

So one subtlety we have to think about, is that the sponge construction inside SHA-3 looks more like CBC mode than like CTR mode. The blocks form a chain. And that means that a vectorized implementation of Keccak can't benefit SHA-3 itself, again at least not for hashing a single input. So if this is going to be provided in hardware, it will have to be specifically with other constructions like K12 in mind. That could happen, but it might be harder to justify the cost in chip area. (At this point I'm out of my depth. I have no idea what Intel or ARM are planning. Or maybe vectorized hardware implementations of Keccak already exist and I'm just writing nonsense.)

It's so weird. For a website whose audience largely works in tech, where thinking in terms of systems is part of our education and career training, there is a shocking lack of systems thinking here when it comes to COVID. While it might not make sense individually for a particular person to get vaccinated, it does make sense when you think in terms of the societal system. We are faced with a society-sized problem that requires collective coordinated action, and it's not going to be solved thinking only in terms of what makes sense for each individual in a vacuum.
due to years of poor decisions (and corrupt politicians [1]): the EU is now completely reliant on Russian gas

it will be able to do absolutely nothing of consequence when Russia further invades Ukraine

[1]: Gerhard Schröder (former German chancellor) ended up employed by the Russian pipeline company Nord Stream's board immediately after leaving office (when in office he approved it), and this week it was reported former French Prime Minister Fillion is now employed by two Russian gas firms

I suspect Merkel will end up in a similar position after pushing though Russian gas pipeline #2 (NS2)
Hundreds of children have died of Covid in the USA out of tens of millions infected. This is obviously much lower than the risk to the unvaccinated elderly (like 3+ orders of magnitude lower), but every dead child is still a tragedy. A larger number of children (still relatively low compared to adults) experience chronic post-viral sequelae significantly harming their quality of life. Covid is among the riskiest diseases faced this year by young children in developed countries.

As I mentioned (see linked CDC document), as far as we can tell zero children 5–11 have died from the vaccine out of ~9 million vaccinated. There were 11 cases of myocarditis, all recovered or recovering. As far as anyone can tell the vaccine has caused no long-term harm to any young child. This is a truly remarkable safety record, better than many vaccines we mandate for all children for diseases less dangerous than Covid.

Vaccines do partially prevent transmission, both for a vaccinated index infected person (viral load goes down faster and course of infection is shortened) and when their contacts are vaccinated (reduces likelihood of being infected at all).

But it’s not perfect, especially with the omicron variant which partially evades antibodies (but does not evade T cell immunity).

> what benefit is there for children (and their families)

The benefits are:

(a) There is some protection against initial infection (very effective with the original and alpha/beta variants, very effective after a booster for delta, only partially effective for omicron; perhaps in the future there will be a variant-agnostic booster), which should get still more effective after a mild Covid infection. Eventually almost every person on the planet will be vaccinated and/or infected multiple times by Covid, and this population immunity is the only way out of the pandemic.

(b) Vaccination decreases risk of hospitalization and death vs. current Covid variants across all age groups including children by 2+ orders of magnitude. The adaptive immune system is extremely effective but it takes a while to learn to recognize new pathogens, making diseases much more dangerous to the immunologically naïve. Vaccines induce this learning up-front without the need for an accompanying high-risk infection.

(c) The omicron variant is putting more children in hospitals than previous variants, and an even more risky-to-children variant might become dominant in the future. T cell immunity induced by vaccines should continue to offer strong protection vs. future variants, because there is limited evolutionary pressure on the virus to evade it (whereas there is significant evolutionary pressure to evade antibodies).

(d) Children eventually grow up, and Covid is going to be circulating forever. An immunologically naïve person who encounters it at some later time (maybe decades in the future) is going to be hit much harder. An immunization for everyone now is a great insurance policy for the future.

This is inaccurate.

The reality is that streetcar companies were already unprofitable, killed by infrastructure cars and poor urban planning. So it was already easy for GM to buy these companies.

> Despite all that, it's undeniable China is on the rise and that's going to be the dominant story of this century.

I think that remains to be seen, for two major reasons:

1. Countries whose primary political system devolves into "cult of personality" tend to fare very poorly in the long run when it comes to global leadership (note, I think this warning applies to other countries besides China).

2. China has an undeniable demographic crisis on the horizon. Of course, so do many countries, so my hypothesis is that countries that are able to accept and integrate immigrants will do the best. It's an open question which country that is, but it definitely doesn't look like China.
What’s better out there? I’m using VS with a solution that eaaily has VS use 10Gb ram. I have tried vscode and Rider too, but Rider really wasn’t an option with parity until this last year or so. The perf in Rider is a bit better but I wouldn’t say it’s a dramatic difference.

VS on reasonably small solutions (fewer than say 50 projects or 10k source files) is more than snappy enough these days.

It’s on those large solutions it runs like a dog when each GC collects 2-3gigs of garbage in 5 frozen seconds and runs every minute.
> Never could figure out why, but maybe resharper has gotten better since then?

R# runs in-process and has its own project system, language service, UI elements, etc. That's simply a lot of stuff to do in the same process that also has the VS project system, language service(s), UI elements, etc. running. Both have added tons of features over the years, so over time it just slows down.

The R# team is working to run it out of process, but it's an enormous amount of work. I suspect that VS 2022 (64-bit) will help with this compared to previous versions though.

Which is pretty much the same thing the developers/owners of the millennium tower in San Francisco are claiming - but to me that holds no weight. When you build a building, you can't just assume that nobody is going to do nothing nearby you for the next 100+ years - the building design should account for that; seems to me they are passing the buck, or at least trying too.

> How can U.S. PhDs work in manufacturing

There are tons of US PhDs working in manufacturing. Most of the interesting and high-leverage problems in manufacturing are in Chemical/Biochemical Engineering, Robotics, Controls, ...

When it comes to "stuff phds do in the manufacturing sector", the US is still a leader.

> The west self-harm is contradicting itself by allowing both heavy labor-regulations in their own countries and trade with countries with basically no labor-regulations.

This is accurate. If you want manufacturing capacity in the US, the correct thing to do is to raise the bar globally. Want to import? Great. Meet a minimum standard of labor and environmental regulations, perhaps different than the US labor regs, and even possibly lower in some dimensions, but qualitatively similar.

Of course, this is far easier said than done.

> It's just like they hate their own low skill workers so much that the politicians intentionally destroyed the factory job market.

WRT environmental regulations, it's much easier to turn a blind eye to something happening half-way around the world than something happening in your own town. Especially when that "something" is "Pittsburgh's skies blacker than night at noon due to cancerous smog".

WRT labor regulations & cost, you seem to claiming that the workers rights movement hated workers? Again, it's easy to say "make jobs safer and pay people more". It's much harder to so "and also we're going to accept permanent double-digit inflation."

I think, instead of malice, we can attribute the US's current situation to the fact that policies which make manufacturing more expensive are largely popular even among manufacturing laborers and policies which make imported goods more expensive are (a) horrendously difficult to "get right" and (b) largely unpopular.
It's more than that. Jews, Asians (individually, Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese, etc), Italians, Polish, Irish, Arabic ... all segregated into their own neighborhoods.

I learned this one the hard way when using jQuery Datatables, dates aren't natively supported for sorting, so had to integrate moment.js and learn the quirks of date formatting between it, Datatables, .net and sql, especially since with moment you uppercase everything MM/DD/YYYY vs MM/dd/yyyy, plus notation for AM/PM and seconds is also different.

Dates are hard.
This is a false equivalency. Being vaccinated or not is the difference between requiring days/weeks in the hospital or only spending 1-2 days with a mild headache. It's "mildly inconvenienced if you do, damned if you don't".

I was at the hospital yesterday (for something unrelated to covid) and there are 0 rooms available. The hallways are still packed with unvaccinated people with covid laying in every open space they can find. Nurses and doctors are still worked past their breaking point.

We cannot move on until the thick-skulled members of society realize that their unwillingness to get vaccinated is the number one thing stopping us from moving on.

Hey everyone, I'm about to start a gig advising on tech policy in DC for 1yr but during that would like to start ideating on a potential startup with someone with plans to launch early 2023! I'm not an engineer but have done a little product but my core focus is usually on growth/bd and navigating regulated areas.

I have a few ideas (listed below) but am open to ideating with folks openly and seeing where interests and the market takes things
- Making Cryonics more mainstream with a better payments layer + other longevity services and more research into the science behind it that we openly publish
- Working on an integrated critical mineral processing, recycling, and gigafactory that produces re-used EV batteries or home powerwalls either in the DRC or with close ties to it to try to bring more jobs to the area and help the country move up the value chain from pure extraction (and because I think there's a huge demand already including in Africa for good battery packs to replace diesel generators)
NVIDIA would reduce demand, but for the FAANG companies it's a neutral proposition, aside from the cost of doing the work to crash the currency.

And there's plenty of reasons to want to do so: Proof-of-work currencies are what make ransomware payments possible, and there's a large daily CO2 cost for proof of work currencies. The question is simply when is the cost of the externalities greater than the cost of acting?

I worked there for two years as an engineer for a multinational without speaking Japanese. The primary language of my team was english so the workdays were fine. I eventually was able to speak enough broken Japanese to order at restaurants, cafes, etc but anything beyond that was impossible for me. I know there are a few companies (Google, Facebook) that are hiring engineers in Japan where English is the primary language used. I have heard that there are also some native Japanese companies, like Mercari, where a significant amount of English is used as well.

I found that not speaking Japanese was not that big of a deal especially if you live in central Tokyo or one of the suburbs that have a lot of expats. Most businesses that you would likely frequent will have english menus or speak enough broken english to get by. I had a few health problems while I was out there and there are several clinics that have native english support.

The thing I found the most difficult about Japan is making Japanese friends. You will always be an outsider and in general Japanese folks just have different expectations when it comes to "work" friends vs "real" friends. You might think you're super close to a colleague from work but in reality you're a total stranger. It's not uncommon to not even know if someone is married or not. On the other hand if you're okay with having mostly expat friends, the community is very welcoming.
