Hearted Youtube comments on Asianometry (@Asianometry) channel.

  1.  @iwx2672  If you have the opportunity visit the Chiang Kai Shek memorial in the centre of Taipei. From what I can gather, many Chinese mainlanders despise Chiang Kai Shek, but still acknowledge his role in creating the modern state. He is much more revered in Taiwan, although there are those in Taiwan who despise him. He created Martial law and suppressed the other dialects of Chinese language such as Hakka, Taiwanese even Cantonese in favour of Mandarin, he brutally weeded out Communist sympathisers, but was instrumental in creating the modern Taiwanese state. His son took over the reigns after his death, he was a lot more moderate, he helped reform the Taiwanese economy, and in part in responsible for the period of prosperity which Taiwan has enjoyed. In my opinion Taiwan is still more prosperous than China. If you have the opportunity visit some of the outlying towns such as Yilai, Alishan.

  2. I just remembered to ask you. Do you have pets? Dr. Ian Cutress from TechTechPotato always puts a picture of his cat at the end of his videos and it's always a delight to see them.

  4. Very well detailed and interesting presentation. Thanks for the effort

  5. Mostly when I don't watch a video, or stop watching in the middle, it's because I don't have the background to understand any deeper. This is a perverse fault of yours, ha ha, for knowing and explaining too much. There's nothing to do for it: don't try to explain more, or they'd be twice as long. Don't try to explain less, or I wouldn't watch them to start with. A few are intriguing enough that I read up on Wikipedia enough to go back and watch again. You have an excellent balance between not enough and too much. Please don't change that.

  6. could you maybe do a video on how (or why not) the US (or other countries) and China cooperate on criminal affaires?

  7. In case you're not aware, this is the EIGHTEENTH video in this channel's TSMC coverage. Here's the entire playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKtxx9TnH76SRC7ZbOu2Nsg5mC72fy-GZ

  8. Phenomenal to me that they're doing lithography <= the wavelength of the the light utilized! The details had me saying "whoa!" or "holy kitty cats!" every few minutes. Reminds me of something from the Manhattan Project.

  9. Dude, honestly, id be cool with a video about African soda pop in the 1970s from you as long as you found it interesting, keep up the great work.

  10. very interesting slice of history, reminds me of an ex, actually an ex's mom...who was born of Fujian Chinese-ancestry in Taiwan back when it was a Japanese colony and Japanese was mandatory in school. When she was 12 or so, her family picked up and moved to the growing Chinese colony in Kobe Japan. She survived the war, which she never talked about, and ended up marrying a Chinese-American merchant seaman, moved to San Francisco. When I went to visit my girlfriend in San Francisco, she was always busy working, school, social schedule so I often hung with her mom...who was an extremely interesting nice person who seemingly knew every business owner in both Chinatown and Japan-town as she spoke fluent Japanese, 5-6 Chinese dialects including most of the ones heard in SF, and native Taiwanese and English. Her connections later helped her kids set up prominent local businesses. I miss her a lot, RIP MrsD.

  11. This is such a great and underrated channel. If you are fascinated by Hanzi/Kanji etymology, you may be interested in A Guide to Remembering Japanese Characters by Kenneth Henshall. It provides a huge degree of etymological depth for the average Japanese language learner. I have long since given up my Japanese studies, but it was/is fascinating!

  12. Nice overview. There is also formal verification, which I believe is akin to a mathematical proof that the logic works as intended. The formal verification is needed as there are too many combinations to check. I was also surprised that first pass success was only 38%. I wonder if this is mostly for analog and RFIC?

  13.  @Asianometry  might be true but the government did its best. they tried to abolish slavery, but had to keep the practice at a minimum when they couldn't abolish it completely. i don't want to ramble on about qing, but i think the ming government did better than qing. yeah, ming wasn't the greatest in the world at that time but government tried to serve the people as much as they could and help tributary states when appropriate (looking forward to your next video!)

  14. I'm from Hong Kong. I have German Shephard. She's my favorite dog; also part of my family. I raise her. I took care of her. I love her so much. She thinks almost like human.

  20. This is such a good summary for the current situation, well done! I think the bigest question for the semiconductor industrie is the progress of autonomous driving and IoT. But if there is really to much capacity for chips coming in the next years, investors will have a hard time ;)

  21. Just signed up for the newsletter 👍🏽 5:44 Btw, you nailed the "Uppsala" intonation 🇸🇪☺️ For real

  25. 😂 An Wang and Wang Labs was one of the past year's favorites for me (and the Massachusetts mob I shared it with)! Hearing aids too! (Wondered if Nicolet would come up, thrilled it did!) You had an exceptional year for content, and we can't thank you enough! 😎✌️

  26. Love your essays!

  27. as the man himself mentioned, the problem is connectivity and energy/space/pressure/moisture-constraints..its hard, thats probably why we know so very much less about the ocean.. i wished i was able to study marine engineering, i always dreamed about working on subs... :)

  28. Geez, this was excellent. I love these behind-the-scenes episodes, and, Jon, you have such a good blend of technical and literary storytelling. This was as engaging as the books about the penultimate history of the PC. Don’t burn yourself out, we need you. I can’t comprehend how you can turn your research into world class episodes so quickly. We’re glad you do, but take care of yourself, friend.

  29. Thanks for the very thorough mini-documentary. I have never heard of controversy around this Ractopamine animal feed additive. Also I have never heard of this United Nations food safety standards body, the "Codex Alimentarius Commission" (if anybody from the United Nations is reading, here's a better name: "UN Food Standards Authority"). Sounds like I need to start watching those industrial agriculture documentaries on Netflix/CuriosityStream or wherever. Now, from your mini-documentary it sounds like there is concern about the quality of the science coming out of the UN commission, due to economic pressure/influence from "big agriculture" firms via the United States government. My advice to Taiwanese politicians and Taiwanese voters is to create a commission of local pre-eminent scientists to independently analyse the science of such questions, release public reports and advise the government. The goal of such a commission would NOT be to covertly implement non-tariff barriers to protect Taiwan's domestic pork industry, but to be above the political partisanship and be the trusted and respected independent arbiter tasked with protecting public health. If American trade negotiators don't like that, then let them complain and ignore them. Taiwan is a sovereign, independent country. The country should only ever make food safety decisions based in science of public health, not because foreign free-trade negotiators were twisting your arm.

  30. IIRC from an economics lecture i attended, a major reason for the recent increases in US healthcare costs is the "Affordable care Act" of 2010. Two major fall outs were the creation of fiefdoms/oligopolies via the restriction of servicing across state lines (creating captive markets), and fining citizens that chose to not have health insurance, thus forcing citizens to pay for pricey healthcare they may not want.

  31. I'm just here for the puns. And the science. That's cool too.

  32. It makes 0 sense why this has so few views. I've watched all of your videos now and the knowledge is great
    11
  33. Keep up the great work, your videos bring me so much joy.

  34. Bro. You're smart af. Good material.

  35. Wait did Mao say when Chiang Kai-shek died? What was his reaction? I've always wondered.

  36. It's very, very much like software - most of the time is not spent on the original implementation, but on looking for problems with the implementation and fixing them before they affect deployment to a production environment. Except that it's much, much harder to patch, so all that work is front-loaded.

  37. What a crazy story. Has there been any development on this case?

  38. India was extremely influenced by Russia. Our policy makers literally wanted to copy Russia but we were unique. Russia was richer than us and was able to extract wealth from agricultural sector and invest it in heavy industry. Our agricultural techniques never modernised and they were trying to extract wealth from that. Fun fact; The refinery my father works in was frequently visited Russians and kgb agents to corrupt the minds of the most educated class.

  39. Hey I went to see the first movie I've seen in years a few months ago and it was Dune.. Not a marvel movie. (Double vaxxed) Love these videos, Thanks for making them :)

  42. I've been around for a couple years now (according to YouTube, I've watched every single one of your videos since "How Apple Changed TSMC") and I always try to be very critical of how trustworthy the channels I watch are. I was definitely skeptical seeing a random indie YouTube channel named "Asianometry" with a deer profile picture talking about semiconductors, but watching a couple videos, it was clear how much you value your work and how much effort you put into each and every video. I've seen you make mistakes in the past which is only understandable being effectively still an indie creator researching a field you are passionate in, but do not have any formal education in. What's important is that you always own up to those mistakes and you move on from them holding yourself to ever greater standards. I came for the semiconductors and stayed for everything you've been branching out into (though semiconductors are a real treat!). I always get excited seeing a new video from you pop up on my news feed, I hope 2023 treats you well and I hope that you manage to take a break when you need it! We'll still be here, eagerly awaiting your next video when you are back!

  43. 8:16 By the way, I always pronounced this "Zie Links" (and so do colleagues of mine). The CEO and Bloomberg both say "Zie links": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNDgZVm5aDg

  46. Can you do Luxgen? Would love to know more about the brand and why they didn't succeed in expanding to global market.

  47. I never knew this despite being very familiar with both Philips and TSMC. Very good video.
