I think that’s more because they work themselves to death, not because they’re not allowed to pirate manhwa.

You cant fence ideas.

Yeah, you can’t fence ideas using copyright, that’s what patents are for.

It’s not necessarily about transistors/mm^2, there is also power consumption and clock frequency. Back in the mid-2000’s clock frequencies stopped just under 4GHz and then went down for a few years before going back up to way past 4GHz in the last ten years or so.

GlobalFoundries is still in Dresden, but the smallest process they have there is 12nm. They’re just not at the forefront anymore and focus on other market segments.

TSMC is building in Europe too, specifically in Dresden, Germany, but it’s afaik a 20nm fab mostly for automotive chips.

If I’m not entirely mistaken there is still some basis to the nanometre number, it just doesn’t refer to the actual smallest feature size or gate pitch anymore. Basically in the mid-2000 Dennard scaling stopped working and ever since the nanometre numbers are “made up”. Dennard scaling was how most progress was made by just shrinking transistors. But that doesn’t mean just because Dennard scaling doesn’t work anymore there is no progress, it’s just harder to achieve. So the semiconductor manufacturers just continued naming their fabrication methods as if Dennard scaling still worked. So basically a modern “3nm” process is equivalent in some way to what would theoretically be possible if you had an actual 3nm process.

Maybe someone like should check if this is true. Anatoli Bugorski I am looking at you.

Every once in a while he blackmails the Tesla board into giving him a shit ton of money. Besides that he doesn’t have much, his wealth is in stocks, mostly Tesla, because his other companies aren’t publicly traded. What rich people do to actually get money is they get a loan backed by their stocks, and then never really paying it back. Tesla is extremely overvalued, but because of that he can just borrow as much money as he wants.

There are people living outside the USA?

I think ESA had an idea about deorbiting space debris using lasers.

Yeah, you lose reliability. If you put the antenna in a pit it will be limited in its beamforming capability. This restricts the number of visible satellites, leading to situations where no satellites are visible.

Very hard to do. You need to be able to launch to the same orbits as the satellites and Starlink uses thousands of satellites, almost all of which will at some point fly over those countries. So they’d need to shoot them all down.

Job postings don’t necessarily mean that they’re actually hiring. Sometimes job postings are used to appear healthy in public.

It’s not really static. It’s digital, the transmission scheme has structure. It’s only the transmitted data that is encrypted, but you’d have to first unpack the transmission to get to the data.

This is the way.

Moving HQ to murica is usually done because of venture capitalists having it as a requirement for funding. If EU based startups want to be successful without it they require either funding from european VCs or figure out how to do compete without VC money.

I don’t really see that happen. It would mean developers (or crappy AI code generators) would have to write efficient code for the low-powered client devices. The web is basically already other people’s computers and look how memory hungry browsers are, or maybe more specifically the websites/apps that run in the browsers.

I think I can see better on my bicycle than in a car, nothing blocking my view and you also sit relatively high compared to cars.

Electron was originally developed by GitHub for a text editor called Atom.

Yeah, the usual startup approach. Burn investor money to get into the market (or in this case create a market) by offering services below cost. Once they have enough users and their investors want their money back they’ll ramp up prices.
