Lockdown/wfh related perhaps? I would definitely say I've become significantly more sedentary, likewise for many of my friends and coworkers, given we're all in tech.
I'm inclined to think a lot of people only live near cities because 1) they work in it and have no choice but to live nearby, otherwise suffer a nightmarish commute and 2) it's the only city near them. Why isn't building new, smaller cities a viable option? Surely building something from scratch also comes with advantages, like being able to plan and build infrastructure optimally from the start, rather than trying to retroactively update ancient infrastructure piecemeal. If we're going to go with a state or federal level approach anyway why funnel the money into existing cities?
Japan has been framed as weird and backwards since the 80s and 90s when the US took issue with their rising economy and encroachment on western industries
It's a better ballpark, but it's still an ideal number measured by the manufacturer using their own tests. Problem is, companies rarely if ever source the exact same design to multiple foundries, so it's not easy to compare in practice.
It seems the feminist angle was more of a general anti-porn thing observed by a lawyer in the field. NCOSE, an evangelical group, apparently took credit for onlyfans's porn ban saying "The announcement made by OnlyFans that it will prohibit creators from posting material with sexually explicit conduct on its website comes after much advocacy from NCOSE, survivors and allies." They, along with Exodus Cry (another evangelical group) also lobbied Master Card to change their policies on porn
It should be ahead of Intel 4 ("4nm"). Samsung 5nm density is approximately 127M gates/mmsq on paper. Samsung 4nm will scale to around 0.75x area according to their China conference earlier this year, to a transistor density of around 168M gates/mmsq. They had another conference the other day detailing 3nm, which will scale down another 25%, to around 224M gates/mmsq.
Intel 4 was estimated to be up to 200M gates/mmsq. I don't think we have exact numbers since Intel only released numbers for their previous 10nm plan, which were heavily revised for Tigerlake iirc. I think Intel 3 is a variant of Intel 4 so 3GAA will presumably be similar to Intel 3.
Iirc onlyfans was actually because Christian special interests and feminists pressured financial institutions to drop them. I'll try to find the article that discussed it
Japan also had to sign the Plaza Accord which inflated the yen against the dollar. Pretty sure china is continuing to do the opposite and shows no signs of stopping.
It's impossible to make a case to right wingers because 2nd generation immigrants tend to be strictly left wing, and more progressive to boot. And imo, as a 2nd generation asian american, they tend to have a more overt racial identity and it doesn't necessarily manifest in a way that leads to a cohesive society. I knew a fair number of other asian americans who strictly saw America as a colonizing force, basically the bad guy. On one hand they're not wrong about the colonizing, but on the other hand it's not exactly a healthy mindset to have about your nation, and more to the point, it's antithetical to the entire right wing political ideology. The strict nationalism of the Chinese works in their favor imo, and the US doesn't have much of a chance in matching it.
The lithography is just a step of the process. I'm just a layman but there's a lot of chemistry involved in just the processing of materials like coating and etching the wafers, particle bombardment, etc. Even the conditions and environment in which the lithography is done makes a big difference.
Public school was probably the most miserable part of my life, especially as one of the only asians in a black and white heavy school district. The few years my parents afforded private school to get me away from the violence was only a little better. Moving to Southern California where the schools had significantly more asians was a big improvement.
Needless to say, I'm not a fan of public schooling and the one size fits all approach
There's a certain irony that the urbanists who advocate high density big city living are also the kind of people who escape at the first sign of trouble or rising cost, which they themselves contributed to, and run off to suburbs, small towns, and country sides and drive up property costs and price the much poorer locals out. Living in a suburb in NJ I can't help but notice increased traffic in the direction of NYC, even compared to prelockdown, coinciding with the rapid rise in housing costs
I think the problem people are getting is that "peer reviewed" has become a badge of expertise or authority in itself, inflating people's trust in it and weakening skepticism.
They didn't kill openCL. 2.0 was evidently unpopular with everyone. Not sure why you're trying to pin it on nvidia. And afaik Nvidia's only stated position on CUDA is that it's royalty free.
Honestly, a lot of Americans don't even seem to be aware of massacres committed by former enemies like North Vietnam after they won the Vietnam War. It's not a surprise they're not aware of what a distant ally did outside of the Korean War
I asked some of my interviewers, who had been around their companies for a while, if the interviews were as tough when they got hired, I think a few said said no it was easier, and iirc one said when they got hired they just shot the shit for a while and got hired right away, but he joined before the company was acquired by a FANG.
Why is it immoral? As long as the asked work gets done there's nothing wrong with splitting your time. How it any different from spending that time slacking off and working on hobbies, which could be monetized (ie art)
