Hearted Youtube comments on Asianometry (@Asianometry) channel.

  1. I was thinking “Wow so much of the research Is Australian” then I realised that it was obvious why.

  2. Boston was a centre for the minicomputer wars, with: DEC, Data General, Wang, Prime, and Apollo amongst the players from the 1960-1980s. That war with IBM, amongst themselves, and eventually with PCs would make an interesting video. . .

  5. Wow. Just discovered this channel. Great Asian focus that is hard to find on YouTube for business content.

  6. Thank you for putting this content together! This clearly shows the insane amount of engineering and science laying the behind the piece of electronics on our hands today.

  7. I am a minority in the US. I would be one too in China. I am half Chinese, that is, 1/4 Hakka and 1/4 Cantonese, each has its own language.

  8. Im really interested in tsmc 3nm finfech vs samsung 3nm GAA,but the quality information on it,its so scarce,rare. By the way,awesome video,im a sub of your youtube and newsletter and i also own tsmc stock since around april 2020. I love TSMC and ASML,they really push the edge on semis.

  10. As long as it's interesting, you will never get tired 😉

  11. Memory lane indeed…I worked in the Sun/SGI/DEC aftermarket in the late 80’s through the 90’s. Those were heady times. I met McNeely and Joy at a trade show. Rode about $50,000 of Sun stock down to the ground later LOL. “Stanfurd” lots of UC people called it “Snodfart”.😂

  12. Interesting, factual documentation of the viewing technology changing the same basic type of media. Good show.

  13. Love how you analyse such diverse aspects of industry!

  14. How about a video on Taiwan during the period of Japanese rule from 1895-1945?
    41
  15. Yesss I've been waiting on this! Everything you put out is great, but I'm especially loving these chip videos!!!
    41
  16. Yes! New video! You're cranking them out and I love every single one of them. Perfect mix of indepth dives into facisnating things no one covers and your humor adds a great touch.

  17. Discovered your channel recently. Enjoyed and learnt from what I have seen so far. Thank you.

  18. Through and accessible mini-documentary on the water management policies of Singapore. Great job. Makes me want to play Sim City (or City Skylines).

  19. Good video as always. Thank you. I do feel you missed a couple of details. - Maersk run their own ports and have parts in others, so it is part of what pushed the whole port business to support the big ships. - Also on Maersk, they have a few mid-size ships being build that are meant to run green fuel as in something power-to-x based. And they have let it be know they have customers willing to help fund it, simply put those customers want to boost their green image and are willing to pay extra for shipping.

  20. Thank you for covering this topic! Most people don't really ever have to think about hearing aids until they're older, if at all. My dad has worn hearing aids since he was two or three (c. 1969). Just the changes since they went digital when I was a kid in the early 2000s are amazing, let alone the advances he's seen in nearly sixty years of daily wear.

  21. I literally just binge watch all your semiconductor series yesterday from TSMC to China and wondering what was the industry like in Malaysia. Then boom you answered my question! Thank you so much for this, it was so well researched on a quite niche topic.

  22. Fantastic video as always, Jon.

  23. It's a running gag on this channel. Jon refuses to pronounce it correctly, just for the lulz. Alternative headcanon: He is a deer (according to his profile pic) so he refuses to pronounce it as "deer RAM". Whenever he says DRAM and people comment on it, it shows who has been here long enough to hear it before. Although this must be the record for the number of times he has said DRAM in a single video.

  24. I’ve wondered this question in my mind since I fell in love with Cold War history in my late teens circa 2008. I’ve never found an answer to this question that satisfied me because it’s such a niche in a niche so to speak. Great video again! 10/10

  25. Love the video! I can’t speak on semiconductor wafer bonding, but in the MEMS field, wafer to wafer bonding is commonly used to package MEMS components in hermetic environments. The EVG tools that you mention can apply force, temperature, and vacuum, the last one sucks any air out of the MEMS package. This is really important for high Q factor MEMS resonant devices, where any damping, including any air molecules, can severely degrade performance. One subset of thermocompression bonding is eutectic bonding, which is super cool because if you heat up two different element thin films together, the alloy you create will have a lower melting point than each of the individual elements themselves. This can let you bond wafers together with really low temperatures. Indium-tin has a melting point of just over 100C, but most others are higher. Gold-tin is below 300C. When you’re choosing materials for your bonding, it all depends on what you’re designing. In-Sn has a low Young’s modulus, which might be undesirable. But Au-Sn’s eutectic temperature might be too high, and your devices can’t take that much heat. So you need to pick and choose materials to suit your needs

  26. I love your litho videos bro I’ve seen everyone at least 5 times. Your videos are the only ones I have found that go into great detail about every process and very easy to understand. This semiconductor field just fascinating and boggles my mind

  27. If you want to read the paper, search the internet for its title "Busting the 'Princelings': The Campaign Against Corruption in China's Primary Land Market". Knowing what the websites for research journals are like, any direct link I post will inevitably become invalid in a few months (possibly a few minutes), so Googling the title is the easiest approach.

  28. Love your videos mate! You've taught me a lot and inspired me to learn more on many topics you've covered. I'll welcome you if you ever decide to visit New Zealand :)

  29. Great video, the Chinese space sector doesn't get much attention, and the private sector even less so. One recent development is that there's plans in their 14th 5 year plan to build a commercial spaceport for private space use, which just goes to show how much the government is encouraging this industry. I'd recommend checking out the DongFang Hour podcast, they do a good job of explaining Chinese space and recapping space news.

  30. It would be nice to have a video on the industry of solar panels

  31. Dear Asianometry, Thank you once again for a well researched and delivered piece. As a working artist I have "options" on how I survive in a world. I can paint a large number of small paintings on simple subjects that are moderately demanding technically and artistically, with simplistic content, and they sell well. Small paintings always sell better than larger works, but they are moderately interesting to me as an artist to create. These tend to be low priced and moderate volume. Or I can create a body of work that meets the interests of the largest number of buyers, relatively low technical and artistic requirements, and these can be larger works, or small, they sell very well, but the content is derivative, repetitive, and even less interesting to create. These tend to be moderate volume, but better priced Or I can create work that interests me as an artist, this work is demanding, both technically and artistically, with a high potential for failure and a low potential for sales. These tend to be very high priced and low volume and tend to be a specific type of collector or buyer. Or I can have a Full Time Job, while this will allow me to paint whatever I wish artistically, and if I have sales all the better, it demands almost all my time, and leaves little time to work as an artist. Or I can marry well ( or have a trust fund ), this means I can paint full time and define my content outside of any commercial requirements, it allows me to paint full time regardless of sales.This is the best of all possible worlds, but if no one is interested in my work, no commercial gallery will take me on, as they prefer artists with a known track records of shows and sales. TV, Music and Movies have a similar problem. While content defines the viewership, and earnings, the medium, viewership and the price also defines the content.

  32. I actually designed, built, and tested a cryogenic system to do these types of NMR experiments, and I used these types of spectroscopy synthetic diamond NV centers to validate it! Very cool to see a video on your channel about it :)

  33. As one who grew up around this time in Hong Kong, I really appreciate your excellent and enlightening analysis, thanks!

  34. You've taken up a lot of topics that i've found to be extremly interesting, this being one amongst them. Explainations of TSMC's creation was really compact and informative, you briefly mentioned national champions in one of your other videos and really appreciate it if you would do more on Japan's and South Korea's economies preferably the zaibatsu and chaebol models. P.S- Loved the one on TSMC and their dutch supplier.

  35. Thanks for putting this video together. Very informative. Am a Hakka too. Parents from Meixian, immigrated to Mauritius and I am now living in Melbourne, Australia. Had a chance to visit my Dad's hometown a few years back. Very emotional welcome from relatives still living there.

  36. Like Germany, Taiwan keep the inflation artifically low, meaning low wages and competitive in international market.

  37. The information used to be rock-solid long ago, but it ended up split up into tiny bits.
    38
  38. Only found you recently, but your stuff seems fascinating. Keep up the good work!
    38
  39. Sounds like it was a great event! Wish I didn’t live on the other side of the world from it lol.
    38
  40. Sounds like you're back to your proper microphone setup. The recording quality is much improved over your recent videos!
    38
  41. Love your work on TSMC. Keep it coming :)

  42. Biology undergrad here u did an awesome job with this video I’m impressed with how many subjects u do these in depth videos on

  43. Jon - You don't have to eat the full slice of black forest cake. The real world is analog - you can have have a 1/2 slice... 1/4 slice... or just grab the cherry from the top. As always, a great video on a very complex topic.
    37
  44. Anything to do with ads is gonna be completely wasted on me. I can see a LLM PA somewhere in there, but the rest gets a "meh" from me so far.... Great video, thank you!

  45. 11:37 The Wii U wasn't helped by its awful branding. The name is way too similar to the name "Wii". Consumers thought it was a tablet/gamepad addon for the Wii but in reality all the games weren't compatible with the original console
    37
  46. 2:52 "Atari put in an order for 2600 pieces of a plastic connector for their joystick cable". I think you may have got the order quantity and the product name mixed up: the name of Atari's 1977 console was the "Atari 2600", and it sold millions of units, so I doubt Atari's order quantity for Foxconn's big break happened to be a mere 2600 pieces. Unless it was an initial batch or something.

  47. Thank you, it’s like to 90’s al over again. To Costa Rica!
    37
  48. I've been waiting for this one! Thanks for illuminating that murky, physical space between chip design and circuit design 🙏

  49. ​ @Asianometry  It's ok to be sad from time to time. Thank you for sharing. I hope your tomorrow is a wonderful day. You make the day a little more bearable for so many people. And you fill the world with wonder. Thank you.

  50. I just put up some 20 year old panels that are monocrystaline, made in Germany and they are still 98% efficient! I sure hope my newer panels also hold up like those over time!
