@phsaramago If the pope shits in the forest, can you still hear the bear being a Catholic?

Well, the refractive index, thermal conductivity and Mohs hardness rating are all pretty impressive. The mining is just meh. However, Fiona Apple also said in the song "and why men buy them", and it's generally not for the tech specs.

Say instant noodle to drugs. Say no to yes.

The place where a lot of these semiconductors are produced, for a start. TSMC in Taiwan, Samsung in Korea and other companies in mainland China.

@rockets4kids Where are you getting this information from?
1
@ScottGrammer Wait, what does asthma have to do with your hearing range?
1
@rockets4kids So you're basing it on assumptions. I've followed the channel from when it was tiny and enough of Jon's personality shines through that I don't think that's the case. I'm guessing you've seen some article on content farms and assume this is that?
1
@rockets4kids So, that's a different question. And I think don't have the slightest clue is a bit exaggerated. My impression is that he does research for each video as it comes, and that he focuses more on the business side than the technical side. As such he sometimes gets details like the one mentioned here wrong, as something like the difference between dynamic range and frequency range might not be first class knowledge to him. On the other hand, both dynamic range and frequency range were concerns with vinyl records compared to CDs at the time so not sure if that sentence is even too offensive in context, unless you're looking for errors. However, the presence of mistakes like that doesn't contradict that he would be a "bedroom writer". Between the few personal details that he has mentioned in public and the writing style, I haven't seen anything that contradicts that Asianometry would be a one man gig.

@rockets4kids Sounds a bit conspiratorial. Do you have a pet theory you want to share?
1
@rockets4kids The way you put it, "he's reading a script written by other people" sounds a bit conspiratorial, yes. It sounds like an implication that someone higher up is "pulling the strings".

I don't think this plays into it. It's not like the market will dry up. All that might happen is a slight to moderate price increase. The military manufacturers will always be able to afford it. This won't lead to equipment shortages.
1
Just don't select economy shipping. Trust me on that one.
1
It's the same thing by a different name. Micron is not the name of the SI unit, but it's commonly used in industry. Probably because micrometer is a mouthful.
1
@punditgi actually, nanometer feels like less of a mouthful to me. It's the two m's that do it for me. But all I'm saying is that it's not a big deal in this case. Just be glad it wasn't microinches. (Eww!) But maybe you're onto something with avoiding nanometers. The semiconductor industry node names basically have nothing to do with feature sizes at this point. So to embrace that, they stopped calling it for example the 5 nm node and now call it the N5 node.

Does that also include any nations that could be attacked at any point by dictatorial nations? Bye Ukraine. (Attacked by Russia.) Bye Taiwan. (Could be invaded by China at any point.) Bye South Korea. (Could be nuked by North Korea if the situation escalates again.)
1
No, mercury doesn't melt at room temperature. Mercury's melting point is about -40 degrees, close to the point where the celsius and fahrenheit scales cross, coincidentally. But skip back a couple of seconds from your timestamp. He starts by mentioning the other 3 metals that can be liquid at room temperature, mercury, cesium and rubidium. I misheard that sentence as being independent at first as well.
1
@bill6255 That's not what he said. Defects in the technical sense. Lattice defects. It makes the product less brittle and less prone to cracking so it's a good thing.
1
Funny that you should mention the invasion of a sovereign nation, since there is a parallel here. Ukraine grows wheat. Taiwan makes semiconductors. If (when?) the PRC decides to try to invade Taiwan, the world will probably decide very quickly that Putin can have his stupid historical empire because semiconductors are more valuable to protect.
1
It depends on what you mean by socialism. Juche and similar styles of socialism that try to smoke out every last bit of free enterprise are indeed intrinsically inferior and doomed to fail. European style socialism (really a mixed economy with regulated markets and strong social security systems) has turned out to be successful.
1
@cyk_official so, what truth are you referring to in this video? Jon is polite and presenting the topic in an as neutral way as possible. But even so, it's not exactly a glowing review of the success of "Korean socialism".
1
If you include everything, let's say you include a Linux kernel and boom, you have a couple of tens of millions of LOCs and so on.
1
Maybe, but it was a problem almost immediately when the system was introduced.
1
I don't know. I think Jon is more of a 9N purity silicon kind of guy.
1
@geephlips what spaz is saying is basically that just because the government successfully funded semiconductor development at one point doesn't mean the government should always do that.
1
That sentence starts at 7:28... It starts close to the previous sentence so I misheard it as well at first.
1
Ikr? I thought it was a missed meme opportunity, but Jon had us covered.
1
Team of one.
1
Send him an e-mail instead if that's a serious question. He'll likely miss this comment.

I always thought HexFET sounded weird but didn't look it up until today. Turns out that it indeed consists of a hexagonal lattice as the name might imply. Zeptobars even has a die shot of it.
1
I hope it stays that way, but the threats from north are echoing...
1
He sure has. Many of them. Hours of footage just on ASML, probably. Go look it up.
1
If I knew what those numnbers meant I'd mumble something about being a man of culture and commend their good taste. Of course, I have no idea. 😇
1
He actually make a video about how the profile picture came to be. Yes, it's a Nara deer that he took a photo of during his trip there.
1
The answer to that question is far too often "no".
1
We keep grinding this game to ensure that we can make the sand think a little better year after year. And anyway, I'd probably have trouble buttoning my collars too, if I had to do it with cloven hooves. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
1
It still paints a history of what people at the time wanted to do but didn't manage.
1
At first I thought this was a serious question but I guess it's just a reference to the effing magnets meme...
1
Trumpf Group is a manufacturer of laser products used for semiconductor manufacturing. It's got nothing to do with Donald if that's what you were thinking.
1
Look, all we're doing is coaxing sand into being able to think, by imprinting it with demonic patterns, using light that would give you cancer, and corrosive chemicals that make pure fluorine sound like a joke. No biggie.
1
It's not a direct connection. The connection is made out of silicon, which is a semiconductor, which is what makes transistors possible in the first place.
1
Hey, that's not a deer. That's a joey! You could even have gone as far as written the name as aussienometry for a laugh.
1
I'm pretty sure moving anything during illumination would just create a blur. Ergo, the movement has to happen between individual exposures.
1
Which is natural as time progresses. I do recognize a few ones that I still see around today when shopping for components. ISSI, Macronix, Holtek, Winbond. Making bread and butter stuff is apparently still profitable. And in the bottom of the image, some unknown little company, TSMC, which I think are still in operation. (/s)

11:50 In other words, they did Copy Exactly many years before Intel. 😅
1
@guessedUK I'm not talking about the photo of the punchcard. Those are holes obviously real, or at least there's no reason to believe otherwise. But look closely at the portrait of Tony Gifford at the timestamp I mentioned...
1
Which one? The Australian lighting company, or the Indian cement company, or...
1
"laser" in quote marks.
1
Eh, it's safe to drink. You just need to put it through a Bayer filter.

@JMTD1000 Throughput, throughput and throughput. Without a mask, the e-beam has to race around the projection area which is slooooow. Add to that that you only have a projection area of about 1 mm2. For any larger objects, you need to move the stage with the realignment that comes with that. The only remotely reasonable way to speed up the process is to increase the numbers of beams, but even that is very impractical. If you can come up with a good way to produce a wafer in less than 1 year with e-beam, you could probably become a billlionaire.
1
@Asianometry It looks like you made a correction note in the subtitles, however you typed runaway twice. "referred to as 'thermal runaway'. Not 'runaway'." The second one should say runway if it's referring to the verbal typo.
