From my experience, no offense, when you pool together a bunch of also-ran teams together to catch up to the industry leader, you'd just get a larger also-ran team.

I also have reservations on whether the academia can surpass the speed of commercial R&D teams on semiconductor tech. I will believe it when I see it.
Not everyone is interested in playing with their own customized OS configurations. Perhaps 90% of the employees would be okay if everything "just works". This is especially true due to lots of internal tooling and figuring out the right configurations for most of them would be a very painful time-consuming process for newcomers.

I don't think muzzle flash is a big problem in today's rifles. Any powder left burning by the time the bullet exits the barrel is wasted energy, so things tend to get optimized pretty thoroughly (this is the field of internal and transitional ballistics). Carbine-length firearms (if they're chambered for rifle rounds) do tend to have bigger issues with muzzle flash. Flash suppressors [1], either integrated or add-on, help and have exactly zero complexity compared to a hypothetical water mister.

> >Their gross margin on cars is the highest in the industry.

> They have a completely different sales model, so it's apples to oranges. Most OEMs wholesale cars to dealers, of course those margins will be smaller.

This is the crux of the innovator dilemma - that their dealer sales model was a moat to prevent new entrants, and it could be their lodestone as well, preventing them from actually being able to compete with Tesla (since shifting from that will likely prove to be difficult/impossible).

Doesn't hurt Tesla that dealers are notoriously unpopular with customers.
Couple of thoughts.

1. In the background you can hear a series of two or three chimes/tones. This was a constant part of the department store experience. It was a communication system that I guess eliminated the need to tell customers what exactly was happening.

2. That vertical black box with the space wars clone was a Vectrex. A kid was playing it and it was on display at the checkout counter (amazingly, unoccupied). It would have been brand new at the time.

> The Vectrex is a vector display-based home video game console–the only one ever designed and released for the home market, developed by Smith Engineering. It was first released for the North America market in November 1982 and then Europe and Japan in 1983. Originally manufactured by General Consumer Electronics, it was later licensed to Milton Bradley after they acquired the company. Bandai released the system in Japan

3. November 1982 marked the end of the then-worst recession since the Great Depression.

> Prior to the 2007-09 recession, the 1981-82 recession was the worst economic downturn in the United States since the Great Depression. Indeed, the nearly 11 percent unemployment rate reached late in 1982 remains the apex of the post-World War II era (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis). Unemployment during the 1981-82 recession was widespread, but manufacturing, construction, and the auto industries were particularly affected. Although goods producers accounted for only 30 percent of total employment at the time, they suffered 90 percent of job losses in 1982. Three-fourths of all job losses in the goods-producing sector were in manufacturing, and the residential construction industry and auto manufacturers ended the year with 22 percent and 24 percent unemployment, respectively (Urquhart and Hewson 1983, 4-7).

Because is TSMC was unavailable to the USA it would take many years for the USA to recover. This bail out gives the USA a head start on a TSMC replacement so that we don't have to halt production of GPUs, CPUs, phones, tablets, appliances, cars, trucks, cranes, tanks, missiles, etc. etc. etc.

Yeah, it's annoying, but you can see how it happened: the nomenclature was accurate from 10µm to 32nm, and became marketing rather than measurement slowly, not all at once.

The choices are rename everything in the past according to a new objective standard (impractical), make a clean break and use a new objective standard (but what?), or just let 'nm' become some rough and increasingly useless way of indicating die density, where lower is better. So that's what happened.
Here is the summarized set of rules:

Federal tax credit for EVs will remain at $7,500

Tax credit cap for automakers after they hit 200,000 EVs sold is eliminated, making GM, Tesla and Toyota once again eligible

The language in the bill indicates that the tax credit would be implemented at the point of sale instead of on taxes at the end of the fiscal year

In order to get the full credit, the EV must be assembled in North America, the majority of battery components need to come from North America, and contain a certain percentage of minerals from countries with free trade agreements with the US

Includes a new federal tax credit of $4,000 for used EVs

Includes zero-emission vans, SUVs, and trucks with MSRPs up to $80,000

Electric sedans priced up to $55,000 MSRP also qualify

The full electric vehicle tax credit will be available to individuals reporting adjusted gross incomes of $150,000 or less, or $300,000 for joint filers

1 - No. People try to implement old, complex, stateful apps on K8 by just slapping on some stuff. That creates problems.

2- See 1.

3 - If you can containerize your app in a simple way, then yes.

Note that a stateful app that would require attention in a bare metal server or a singular VM would still require that kind of attention on K8 as well. K8 just removes the need to manage the VM infra. And makes running your infra as code much easier.

If you need to run a stateful app in a highly available manner, you can do it in K8 and it would be good - however you will spend a similar effort for maintaining the high available services like you do in other venues. Ie, if your stateful app requires a Percona cluster and a NFS cluster off of K8, you will still need to launch and maintain those services. K8 operators make these a lot easier to launch and maintain. But its still maintenance nonetheless.

Using managed, hosted databases can work for the database part. But they are expensive. So launching a database cluster via a K8 operator would be cheaper to maintain. NFS is a problematic thing across all platforms. So if you need it, you either launch a rook-ceph cluster to provide a shared filesystem or use a hosted service like Google File Store.

Why do you care what the minimum gate length is of a process? Do you design standard cell libraries? Transistor density is the only thing you actually care about, and they've continued decreasing the numbers to roughly match what you'd expect from the "nm" number with old planar transistors.

The comparison to a "10g fiber bar" doesn't work, because in the case of semiconductors the "10g fiber bar" is 10 times better than a "1g fiber bar"

TSMC has sometimes started to use eg. N7 instead of 7nm.. but it really doesn't matter.
Xanthan gum is sold in major UK supermarkets. I have some myself; I use it for thickening home-made hot sauce. It works well for this because it exhibits "shear thinning". It's viscous enough to hold everything in suspension when it's in the bottle, but when you pour it the viscosity decreases, so it's easy to get it out.

So by demonstrating a 95% confidence interval for each question, your plan is to circumvent the instructions by showing 0% confidence for all but one of them and 100% for one of them?

I bet that's why they start with "If you did the exercise correctly..." because the questions are specifically asking for 95% confidence for each of the 20 questions. Your solution only works if you completely ignore that one instruction that appears in each of the 20 questions.

Given that each question individually specifies "95% confidence interval:" in front of each input individually, it suggests that your solution is "kind of dumb" because you are absolutely NOT doing "the exercise correctly..."

Your answer for the question asked in this post is "no" because you clearly do not understand what a 95% confidence interval is." Calling it dumb was not as appropriate as you may have thought before replying. Your solution was not clever, as it was completely incorrect.

Utterly disgusting for the obscenely wealthy CEO of one of the most valuable and profitable companies on Earth to be telling employees they "Need to work harder" or they're going to get laid off, as let's not beat around the bush, that's exactly what's happening here even if Pichai was too cowardly to say it directly.

Or to put it another way:

Approximately 0.0013% and 0%, respectively. I'm not sure what you're getting at.

My point is that we already deal with many substances that are toxic forever. Something about the danger reducing over the course of thousands of years seems to make people more concerned about the future than when the danger is permanent.
>Assume a company has gross margins of 100%,

First, gross margin is not net profit, which more accurately represents what a company could possibly absorb. Second, no industry has even gross margins near 100%; more accurate is around ~35% [1] .

Assume a company has actual net profits of 5% (more in line with actual net profits), and cost of goods (or labor) goes up 10-20% (and same for all their competitors, since all are sourcing goods in the same markets).

Then they pass cost on to consumers or go out of business.

This is a more accurate model using real world numbers from the current economy.

With many definitions, it means any definition is acceptable. If one entry in dictionary satisfies usage, it is correct usage. Also "tried and tested" is not same as mathematical proof, but any of those three usage are fine according to most.
I am just a layman with limited research time.

You and me both! Given the wild swings in points-voting seen ITT, it seems perhaps MIC reptiles and other lovers of arcane jargon have more time on their hands than we mere subjects have. I linked the POGO report first as it seems most authoritative with respect to overall program cost and military effectiveness. With respect to the specific question of cost/plane (although I don't think we can just forget cost/hour), this Forbes article has the best explanation I've seen. [0] The beginning of the following selection acknowledges one accounting method that might support the idea that the unit cost is low. However, when more accurate methods are used, that idea makes less sense.

At $78 million the fifth-generation F-35A’s unit cost compares favorably to the latest non-stealth 4.5-generation Western fighter. The Rafale, Typhoon, Gripen-E and F-15EX are more expensive at $85 to $100 million apiece. The older F-16 and Super Hornet are modestly cheaper at $65 to $75 million each. But while these aircraft do have certain performance advantages over the F-35, all are vastly more vulnerable to long-range anti-aircraft missiles proliferating in militaries across the globe.

However, the F-35 unit price metric has the shortcoming of failing to reflect additional costs in spare parts, logistics facilities and so forth that come with F-35 purchases. When those are spread out across F-35A orders in 2021 they lead to a ‘Gross Weapon Unit Cost’ in budget documents of $110 million for 2021, higher than in preceding years due in part to decreased volume of orders.

Overall, though, a moderate increase in unit price arguably isn’t the main issue, because procurement costs account for less than a quarter of the $1.7 trillion projected lifetime cost of the F-35 program.

Instead, a report published by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) on July 7 warns that its sustainment—currently expected to total $1.27 trillion in real dollars—which threatens to break the Pentagon budget.

I hate everything about this. The automotive morons forced semi's to shit their pants during pandemic, we have lots of supply chain issues for the whole production chain (packaging, testing, not only wafer manufacturing!) and here we push for marketing "2nm", where pushing the envelope doesnt make any sense in reality. Scale older processes, make them cheaper, goddamnit! Analog power transistors give zero shits about your nanometers, we need more 90nm and 160nm capacity.

> $7,500 credit for any EV that is built in the U.S

I can't wait for the eventual headline about how dealerships would sell cars to themselves so they could resell them and pocket an extra $4k.

I have no doubt that story will happen and come out, I'm just wondering whether it will be during or after it's common, and how widespread the abuse will be, given that even if there are provisions to prevent that, some enterprising fraudsters will find a way.
Just a quick note, the symbol ⇔ is typically meant to stand for 'material implication' and would be better read as 'if and only if'. Or at least that is the 'normal' usage in the literature for intuitionistic logic. It doesn't really change your reading of it, but equivalent does not really capture the traditional meaning of material implication. It is more accurate to portray the logical sentence as valid with either implication in the first position. The two statements are not equivalent to each other, but the re-ordering of the implications would be, i.e.

((∃ x. P(x)) → Q) ⇔ (∀ x. (P(x) → Q))
is equivalent to
(∀ x. (P(x) → Q)) ⇔ ((∃ x. P(x)) → Q)
I still read about claims that Moore's law is ending due to quantum tunneling because the transistors are getting too tiny.
If you are referring to 3D devices like FinFET then they are absolutely a thing and is being used pretty widely. If you are referring to stacking devices in 3D space then the power density becomes too much and it becomes impractical
This is very surface level. These tips can help for periods of time, but they won't last forever.

I think the things that do change your perspective forever though are philosophy and even other's philosophies on attention in general.

Reading books like "Four arguments for the elimination of television" and "Amusing ourselves to death" changed how I view our attention.

Reading older books like "tao te ching" or "meditations" gave me perspective into how much my attention matters.
Everything is a tradeoff. Just because someone view the weight of the choices differently doesn't mean they are wrong. Check your ego.

I think you have been reading to much into this. Less formal language get’s odd when you take it literally.

People casually describe emotions in a silly number of ways. Sometimes it’s possessive like “I got (hungry, depressed)” Other times it’s a state like “I am (hungry, depressed).” Sometimes it’s a transformation “That makes me so (hungry, depressed, happy, angry).” etc

Most people aren’t suggesting a medical diagnosis any more than “I have a crush” suggests you physically caught someone.

Also, “I broke my arm” doesn’t always imply someone broke a bone. Ex-pitchers for example sometimes use the phase to refer to a lack of functionality, though busted is more general.
Call me crazy but I think long term (10 years +) the Intel strategy of fabricating chips domestically is the correct choice. There's a ton of geopolitical pressure in this direction. The US simply doesn't want to be dependent on Taiwan for chips, for obvious reasons.

Intel knows this and is trying to become the TSMC of the west. And frankly they're the only ones that can pull it off. I'd be surprised if 10 years from now the majority of their revenue comes from selling processors rather than fabricating them for AMD, NVIDIA, etc. Why compete when there's plenty of steak for everyone?
Far less annoying and above all far less dangerous than allowing a car company to call their half-baked solution “Auto Pilot”.

- and just reading the reviews on the books of everyone saying they are getting counterfeit books.

The author could link to a book seller that actually sells the real book, but then I guess they wouldn't get their kickback.

Zig has raw pointers with pointer arithmetic/indexing [1], so as far as I can tell it doesn't enforce spatial memory safety.

I don't think spatial memory safety alone is a large improvement over C++ in particular, since most memory safety vulnerabilities nowadays are UAF. For C, maybe; I'd have to look at LazyFishBarrel to see how many bugs nowadays are spatial as opposed to temporal (I'd guess that temporal vulnerabilities are more common nowadays in C too).

Transistors are more "3D" now, that's why a 10nm process gives you something like the same density as what a 2D planar transistor with 10nm minimum gate length would. See "FinFET" or "GAA" transistors

If you're talking about stacking entire chips, yes that's also used lots of places.

The challenge there is getting rid of the heat from those chips. If you stack lots of chips it gets really hard to get heat out of the ones in the middle.
