> Having managed over 100+ people, I can say that on average the people from better institutions are better employees

You missed the central point of the article about causality.

Of course this will be the case on average, because Harvard gets smarter people on average! Harvard serves no additional value here other than to be a gatekeeper.

I mean the Nature article is basically just the opinions of a bunch of experts.

It’s not to say LK-99 is real, but the Nature article contributes 0 extra information

One day the use of self-accelerating beams (which can bend/turn by themselves) may remove the line of sight limitation.

Also 2C-B is a psychedelic with a entactogenic (think like mdma) effect.

It’s much more manageable, calmer and reliably positive than psilocybin or LSD

Wait till you hear about the history of the semiconductor industry!

Probably a Korean packaging company

Most cities anywhere, even in red states, are pretty liberal.

This is another common HCOL area Stockholm syndrome thing.

In so far as the modern monolithic integrated circuit is concerned, it’s pretty indisputably Bob Noyce imo

There are multiple reasons, but the single biggest reason is: Apple

A customer that is willing and able to ramp to huge volume a small size chip (important for good yield), and even willing to ramp with relatively low yield (due to high iPhone margins).

Time to volume production is generally gated by yield for foundries, and Apple provides an intermediate target with the small mobile chips.

This is a made up explanation because:

1) All RnD fabs move wafers 24/7

2) Intel has consistently been the leader in process technology for 20+ years.

Why did this “3x shift advantage” deliver gains only in the past 5 years?

> everyone fighting for the same small square footage on top the hill so to speak

Lierally.

This is a big part of why modern society feels so broken economically speaking imo

ITT:

Multiple fighter pilots (whose sole job is to understand aerial objects by eye and sensors), radar, camera and infrared have seen these.

“It’s a glitch, lens flare and/or the pilots are stupid, but me a programmer is an expert in this.”

“Negative capacitance” has been demonstrated as a transient effect in many ferroelectrics.

Working transistors have been built using this principle, look up “NC-FET”

Samsung and SK Hynix are both big consumers of lithography machines

No.

Ready your own link, the top 16 ships produce more particulate emissions (sulfur and nitrogen oxides especially), because of low regulations and cost pressures driving the use of low quality fuels (bunker fuel).

China's HSR is ~$900B in debt and most lines are expected to never pay themselves off.

And coal usage in China has risen while it has fallen in the US.

On the contrary, evidence has repeatedly shown that deep domain expertise results in tunnel vision and worse predictions.

See eg https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/why-experts-are-al... or the fact that breakthrough papers get more citations outside their field at first than within it

That’s mostly hydropower iirc. Hydro is almost always the cheapest energy today, if we could get it elsewhere we would.

This isn’t really true, the military aircraft fly faster and at those speeds pointy noses help.

Passenger airliners travel at slower speeds for which more round noses are actually better (eg to prevent flow detachment).

In fact, iirc I read somewhere that Airbus’s more blunt noses are the result of newer CFD-based design techniques whereas Boeing reuses their pointy nose from previous designs.

Same reason as the Shinkansen, it’s less about open air aerodynamics and more about tunnel exit noise.

Agreed, SpaceX has no chance against ULA /s

A better analogy would be the Breguet range equation, as the rocket equation is explicitly about delta-V, not distance.

Examples could be GPU chiplets using processes optimized for throughput (density * peak perf product) vs CPU chiplets optimized for peak perf

Dan Ciresan’s DanNet ran on GPUs before Hinton’s students

Will the lack of existence of any stable fingerprint be a valid heuristic for the detection of a deepfake?

Apple is the most successful company in American, and well, human history

1-12 are either petro states or distorted due to being tax havens.

That’s because the market calculates a high probability of an Intel implosion
