Why do they need cover for price increases? What was used for cover for price increases before the pandemic? Or why was cover not required for those? Doesn't add up.

It's a thinly veiled signal that a corporation will not act out against the status quo, and in return they will have protection from their corporate media and regulatory attack dogs. The sad thing is they have scientifically captured a

Is this kind of thing typical for experiments working to confirm such significant results, or is there a mad rush to publish? Do you really get a lot of prestige from confirming somebody else's result? I would have thought the risk to

They can, as calculated by switching delays of simple circuits like inverters and NANDs (so simpler than a FO4). Actually it's probably more like 200 than 300, I haven't seen 3nm models but transistors are still getting faster.

No it's not valuable at all. I'm just replying to a person who got particularly upset by it and seemed to take it seriously. Just ignore them or downvote and move on.

Despite the the "strictly no jesting on the super serious hacker news" rule, I think it was just a joke. I wouldn't let it get to you too much. I thought it was pretty funny.

No it pretty much is true, well it's the power draw from switching transistors and from leakage losses. Resistance in the metal wires is not so much a problem for power as it is for signal propagation delay. That is the biggest problem

Forestry service doesn't sound like tragedy of the commons, it sounds like tragedy of government.

by throwawaylinux 3y ago
The discussion moved to talking about is competing with mature nodes, where you said they'd only be competing with themselves (which doesn't seem to be right).

Cost has been the challenge for the past 30-40 years at least. Many semiconductor manufacturers have folded, dropped out, or merged over the years due to costs putting development of the next node out of their reach. If the remaining 3 drop

Civil courts are a service. They have significant delays and backlogs in many places, to the detriment of people with legitimate reasons to use them. Probably in no small part due to frivolous and nuisance suits.

To be clear, this wasn't just suddenly frowned upon. "Drunks" have been looked down on and/or overindulgence considered bad or sinful since -- I don't know -- the Greeks and Romans, certainly Christianity.
