Labels for production nodes (e.g. "1nm") have diverged from specific physical distances (e.g. gate width) for years now.

The node label (e.g. "5 nm") no longer represents a physical dimension and hasn't for some time -- it's simply a continuation of a naming convention. In fact, while we used to scale down transistors by simply reducing th

Congrats on the launch! Can you say more about how you drive your costs down?

Yup, such a blatant copycat attempt. All the way down to the angle the photos are taken from. Good thing for Boosted that you can't just copy a well engineered drivetrain.

That relation ties together entropy, a previously macroscopic quantity, and discrete, countable energy states, first introduced via quantum mechanics.

I'd replace it with S = k log(Omega), which links thermodynamics to quantum mechanics.

The color change of gold and CdSe particles with size are due to two different effects. CdSe is a semiconductor, and reducing the CdSe nanoparticle size increases its band gap through a process called quantum confinement. For smaller partic

Not that I disagree with what you wrote, I just want to point out that silicon dioxide is probably the most important reason silicon has reached such ubiquity in electronics. No other material has a native oxide as good as SiO2, even though

I know very little about what's available in Ruby, but I would have used the Pandas library to accomplish this task in python. Their in-memory data structure, a DataFrame, is more than capable of handling those operations.

I'm trying to figure out where something like this fits into the python data ecosystem. For datasets that fit in memory, Pandas seems like the best bet. Good I/O functions (JSON, CSV), easy slicing (numpy array-like syntax), and s

That was hard to read... "The manufacturing process for most solar panels involves manufacturing a block of sapphire or other crystalline silicon and then slicing a .2mm-thick sheet off of it with a wafering saw." Painful

Just want to point out that Stanford does have its fair share of "MIT startups". Here's a small subset: * Alveo Energy * Amprius * Blue River Technology * C3Nano * Momentum Machines * QuantumScape * Solum Although if the OP&#

I still prefer Keynote to JS presentation tools since playing with layout is easier manually than with css (for me). But one killer feature Keynote lacks is slide inheritance. I love using build-outs and I wish I could edit a parent slide a

Any more info available on the "M7 Motion Coprocessor" chip? That's the most interesting addition IMO.

On OSX I have Meta bound to the Apple key. What also helped is a tip borrowed from Steve Yegge [1] to bind C-x C-m to M-x (also C-c C-m, in case you miss the x). This avoids my most common use of Meta, allowing me to use the more comfortabl

I'm confused. Is there an announcement or update of some sort associated with this project? It's unclear from the article.
