There were so many good Sharp products - I used to like their combination microwave toaster-oven appliance. 👍

@Divyanshu Goyal - as a fellow Indian, I'll tell you they're not the first to try 3D-printing rocket engines - there are plenty of university teams and even startups around the world trying such things. We Indians have less exposure to the world, and so we're always imagining all sorts of firsts from ourselves which have already been done before. But I agree that we should be attracted to achieving new firsts/breakthroughs, to keep pushing the envelope and expanding the art of the possible.

Soviet Union also had cultural arts programs, but no Soviet movie export industry ever took off. It's impossible for China to build a truly successful arts market under the shackles of a Thought Police. Sometimes Chinese celebrities have been known to disappear for saying the wrong thing. The baggage of authoritarianism will be carried by Chinese filmmakers no matter where they market to. Xi Jinping comes across more as some kind of Bizarro Superman trying haplessly to imitate the real thing.

Crispr is something you do to genetically alter an organism, while genome sequencing is about reading the genetic information from an organism

 @divyanshugoyal9818 - may I ask how old you are?

Another channel told me Russia was investing in some new technological approach to achieve self-sufficiency in semiconductors. I was wondering if anyone on Asianometry might know what technology Russia is investing in for this? Any ideas? :body-blue-raised-arms:

Agreed. They are interpolations/extrapolations -- essentially a sophisticated "best guess" --- but still a guess.

Do these CAD vendors have a monopolistic lock on Intellectual Property? Why doesn't somebody invent Open Source CAD for Chip Design?

How is "scene understanding" done? Do you have to train your deep learning model on a repository of images that have been appropriately text-captioned?

Is there a Moore's Law for genome-sequencing?

Seems outside of the theme of this channel

Hi, I'd like to see you talk about the current rivalry between Nvidia and AMD. This seems to now be the premier rivalry in the industry, having overtaken the older Intel-vs-AMD rivalry (which AMD seems to have largely won, imho). I'd like to see a comparison of the various technologies each hopes to deploy in order to gain ground over the other, as well as a profile comparison between the respective leaders Jensen Huang and Lisa Hsu, whom I both admire. I feel Jensen is a bold thinker, but I also feel Lisa has a track record of pulling off big turnarounds from a trailing position.

 @Anonymous Armadillo - it's harder to get more skilled higher wage workers to work at night during odd hours.

 @Johnathan mandrake - anybody can do that work, not just Chinese. Besides, Hollywood are sensitive about preserving their own jobs.

Superb video - great presentation with excellent points

@thursoberwick1948 - I thought this channel was mainly about the microelectronics industry, which happens to be based in Asia

@brodriguez11000 - doesn't the Waze app do that too?

@revbem141 - larger atom?? The volume of any bulk material is mostly empty space between the atoms.
1
@revbem141 - and that larger atomic volume is still minor compared to inter-atomic spaces. Therefore it's not going to significantly affect the bulk volume of the material.
1
@fwompwomp - and my point was that the volume of individual atoms doesn't determine the specific volume of the bulk material or its density.
1
 @bigboiclown the 2nd - sounds impressive, if true. I'd wonder how they managed to achieve that. (Btw, it's "lithium IRON phosphate" and not "lithium ion phosphate")
1
@fwompwomp - I think it's electrostatic forces and quantum mechanics which define the geometry of the electronic shells

CATL of China has said their first-generation sodium battery product is achieving 160Wh/kg, which already significantly narrows the gap with lithium. They've also patented some new discovery which is predicted to take energy density past 200 Wh/kg, which will be very competitive with lithium on current applications.

 @Clive (Stainless Steel Womble) - that's great information - you got any links for that?

@kaihuchen5468 - what a coincidence, I was trying CLIP the other day, and I've just now tried it again because you've mentioned it. I found that it generates some useful text with extra unrelated garbage words added on. Perhaps that's because an input image can generate broader text associations than what's useful. Interesting tool, though.
