Comments by "brodriguez11000" (@brodriguez11000) on "Asianometry" channel.

  1. Replacing with the horrors of software.
    65
  2. And contributed no money. The balls.
    46
  3. Hock Tan's closing comment sounds like something acquired VMware would say with expected results.
    28
  4. Maybe he'll do a video on the nanoscale vacuum-channel transistor (NVCT) since miniaturizing tubes is the cool thing.
    26
  5. Prices historically comes down on items that become commodities. AI isn't a commodity...yet.
    24
  6. Nine months later it gets backed up.
    20
  7. AI is as much a person as a business is and will be legally covered that way.
    20
  8. Direct writing onto wafer doing away with the mask.
    19
  9. It's not so much more horsepower that AI needs, but more efficient ways of developing and training their models. Brute-forcing has diminishing returns.
    17
  10. ​ @josephyoung6749 Every country in the world has used protectionism as part of economic policy.
    16
  11. Genius and people skills seem to be a common theme in history.
    16
  12.  @adissentingopinion848  now now enough about windows.
    16
  13.  @Aeyo  Next video about time travelers.
    14
  14. Breaking into the American market was the right idea with the wrong execution.
    14
  15. Seems throughout history, regardless of product, "free" isn't free. Free is just a tease for the reality.
    14
  16.  @dpride00  GNU electrons.
    14
  17. Grumpy Old Men Asian Style.
    12
  18. Astronomers are already complaining. This would be worse.
    11
  19. Even prisons have "money".
    10
  20. We do vest a lot in controlling electrons. Maybe it'll be photons turn next?
    10
  21.  @dannylo5875  : Maybe we'll go bio, or optical.
    10
  22.  @thursoberwick1948  You still didn't. What most people didn't know about was bank reporting requirements.
    9
  23. Made us feel old.
    8
  24. Maybe an analog computer designing analog circuits.
    8
  25. Might come full circle once people start integrating electronics into clothing.
    8
  26. Panhandlers as a munition. Give me money, or give me...BOOM!
    8
  27.  @Tugela60  Which doesn't scale. That's always been the problem with the barter system. Fine if the total number of people on the planet is small, and scattered. not so much tightly clustered and numerous.
    7
  28. And in the process one forgets the lessons of this video.
    7
  29. The problem with technical subjects is keeping everything manageable and understandable.
    7
  30. Advanced packaging is where some of the next development is going on.
    7
  31. Clones!
    7
  32. Those mechanicals were built like a tank and weighed as much.
    7
  33. Agreed. The never ending quest by gamers for realism (physics, compute shaders, etc) helped pay for the R&D that later opened up all those other needs.
    7
  34. Except history shows economic matter.
    6
  35. Brothels did well.
    6
  36. Successful systems, take into account human behavior and motivation. Any alternatives would have to change people. An impossible task.
    6
  37.  @oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368  : Indeed, doesn't seem to be working through, and as pointed out in the story, people are as, if not more so important. So unless China starts resorting to kidnapping, tech transfer is only going to do so much.
    6
  38. Quite a few companies did. Should have gotten into the reinforced shelving business.
    6
  39. Depends upon the audience. If this was a legal channel, getting words correct would be very important.
    6
  40. I have to buy a new hat after watching one of his videos. 😀
    6
  41. A play on...?
    6
  42. ASML is the new unit of measurement. Move over library of congress.
    6
  43. My Vega still performs to this day. The only bad thing is the memory capacity for newer games.
    6
  44.  @lekhakaananta5864  Except the Egyptians.
    6
  45.  @katrinabryce  Only if they had the same problems SystemD was meant to solve.
    5
  46. Beefing up on some knowledge.
    5
  47. The LEGOs of the digital world.
    5
  48.  @OurLordandSaviorSigmar  With the economy being what it is, a lot of "kids" are coming home to their parents.
    5
  49. Landed on my foot. Ow! Ow! Ow!
    4
  50. Cold storage.
    4
  51. AI simulating a stay-at-home worker.
    4
  52. Waiting for a boxed-set.
    4
  53. True all through the internet, not just cables.
    4
  54. His videos about failures shows it's about more than just having the smarts to succeed.
    4
  55. "Stuff like this" is still rather uncommon, and hence doesn't factor into any "can't afford to have kids".
    4
  56. Not really. Look at Microsoft's annual report and you'll notice that OS really isn't where the bulk of their money is being made. The enterprise market and gaming is.
    4
  57. No counterfeits here. :-D
    4
  58. Main beneficiaries there are those that bought a lot to begin with (faith in the company). Held on long term like 20-30 years (retirement investment), and reinvested dividends in buying more stock (growing the investment, and countering any fees and inflation).
    4
  59. Chance favors the prepared.
    4
  60. Makes one want to watch.
    4
  61.  @MarkishMr  They were chasing, as well as Intel fans were chasing. All anyone could talk about at the time were faster single core. Understandable because single thread was easy to understand and do. Concurrency took a skilled programmer a lot more work to pull off effectively.
    4
  62. Moore's law as a bedrock, but working smarter (as mentioned in a previous video) rather than brute-forcing one's way through (making NVIDIA more money).
    3
  63.  @CatnamedMittens  Those taxing agencies interested in pools might be wondering about your backyard.
    3
  64. Good thing they're so far out even the NIMBY crowd can't see them.
    3
  65. Extra Sensory Perception Network.
    3
  66. But not patents.
    3
  67. Power seems to be the achilles heel for all chip plants, not just Taiwan.
    3
  68.  @TigreXspalterLP  Interns will either suffer, or utter a sigh of relief.
    3
  69.  @MrTomyCJ  Freedom to decide, but outcome isn't promised. e.g. pollution, climate change, fentanyl deaths, mass shootings, etc.
    3
  70.  @christophermullins7163  Maybe NEC would have been the underdog.
    3
  71. Maybe using AI? 🙂
    3
  72.  @Grak70  Basically semiconductor production is capital, people and time intensive. Regardless of what country one is (see his other videos).
    3
  73. Amiga's taking over the world.
    3
  74. Never underestimate the power of, "out of sight, out of mind".
    3
  75. It's called being poor, and yes sometimes not being owned by possessions does make a person happy.
    3
  76. Waiting for diamond to get incorporated.
    3
  77.  @b.6603  Usually spherical.
    3
  78. The use of cell phones by Nokia to help generate road paths and keep them current. Hence autonomous vehicles.
    3
  79. Is "accelerate the process" anything like speeding up the pregnancy? Just throw more of whatever one already has and that baby will come quicker.
    3
  80. Integrated vacuum tube transistors might have been able to make the single core multi-Gigahertz path more viable.
    3
  81. I imagine giving birth to that behemoth would be difficult. 🙂
    3
  82. Even came with a barf bag.
    3
  83. The new working class without all the backtalk.
    3
  84.  @remliqa  Aerogel insulation.
    3
  85. I imagine testing costs are going to rise, and get passed onto the consumer. Essentially one group (counterfeiters) are stealing from another group (innocent consumers).
    3
  86. PhD levels of understanding of a lot of subjects. That's why if semiconductor manufacturing was a movie the credits would go on for a long time. Lots of hands involved.
    3
  87. Welcome to the idea behind chiplets or "glued-together" as Intel would say.
    3
  88. X-rays, E-beam, etc.
    3
  89. Be glad there are no underground fires.
    3
  90. Florida would be perfect. Keep the Manatees warm.
    3
  91. Packaging is the other big thing. If one can't fit on the chip, then one stacks as much as possible, and imposers as close as possible like a miniature MCM.
    3
  92. Horology is an interesting field in itself.
    2
  93. My understanding is the software has to catch up to make BPD viable.
    2
  94. Mainly through licensing to companies like Rockwell and Synertek.
    2
  95. DB Migrations is where the fun is at.
    2
  96. Optical is going to be interesting.
    2
  97. Send some wafers up that need some thermal oxidation.
    2
  98. Analog shrinkage into ICs helped a lot.
    2
  99.  @kazedcat  Plus the additional complexity added to the system.
    2
  100.  @conor7154  I said climate change was man-made. Guess where that went.
    2
  101. Plus what one does with the water after usage.
    2
  102. Not wasting your time isn't "bloat". Making the most of a finite resource in which you have better things to do than banging electrons.
    2
  103.  @johndoe1646  Hardly.
    2
  104. Those buyout terms would have doomed it.
    2
  105.  @westrim  Time travel is real.
    2
  106. @Joe Sterling  Everyone is an expert on the way THINGS SHOULD BE rather than the way they currently are.
    2
  107. Not hiding things like virtualization and ECC behind a market differentiation wall like Intel helped as well.
    2
  108.  @alexandruraresdatcu  Russians generally do well in basic research. It's going past that point were the problems start.
    2
  109. Self-assembling circuits.
    2
  110. Consumer can buy a bag of them pretty cheap.
    2
  111. Fine. Do away with cheap food.
    2
  112. No werewolves working at TSMC.
    2
  113. We use propane. The only cold affects the regulator, hence insulation around it.
    2
  114.  @ntabile  My back appreciated the change.
    2
  115. By not being Windows 11. ;-)
    2
  116. Part of Data-oriented programming.
    2
  117. Lab on a slab.
    2
  118. Some markets just aren't as forgiving of mistakes. Especially capital-intensive ones.
    2
  119. Deformable lenses.
    2
  120. AI winter.
    2
  121. Toshiba by any other name.
    2
  122. The ultimate engineering. 😀
    2
  123. Guess what happens when people actually view the video?
    2
  124. Data books the size of phone books just for that part.
    2
  125. Backside Power Delivery (BS-PDN) by Applied Materials.
    2
  126. The head of AMD does pretty well.
    2
  127. Mechatronics is an interesting field.
    2
  128.  @stephenw2992  Processing was also interesting. Plus this video didn't even mention S-VHS.
    2
  129.  @TheAzure256  Well the latter in a lot of countries, plus navigating it's complexities.
    2
  130. Of course because "investors" isn't a static pool. New people come in, while others leave.
    2
  131.  @boots7859  Co-processor would be the way to think about that era.
    2
  132. shrug Nationalism is universal. Every country does it. It's when it blinds us to our faults that it becomes a problem.
    2
  133. The LLM may have a deeper understanding of the abstractions below it. The better to getting the most out of them.
    2
  134. Except that was 1945-1959 while the transistor was 1947 (independently discovered by German scientists in 1948) by Americans. Important because that effectively kicked off the modern electronics industry. OP would be great if this channel was doing a story on aerospace or rocketry and not photolithography.
    2
  135. Even a single expansion slot would have helped allowing for a co-processor even though they're different architectures.
    2
  136. Optical and FPGA could be interesting.
    2
  137. It's also analog which is where the "it's a computer" paradigm breaks down.
    2
  138.  @cv990a4  Arc demonstrates that wouldn't have worked.
    2
  139. Modern military's have a data glut and what to do with it. That's where data analysis comes in, and some of it real-time.
    2
  140. Making semiconductors the printing industry way.
    2
  141. Quick, look up fluidics.
    2
  142. Hardware is a whole nother level of abstraction.
    2
  143. Cross-licensing really helped.
    2
  144. Tech Transfer and brain drain.
    2
  145.  @trevorvossberg43  Combine with AI and we may have a medical tricorder.
    2
  146. So China would have to invade multiple countries to make their semiconductor industry a success.
    2
  147. Robosquid.
    1
  148.  @hendy643  without memory protection a crap shoot. MP/M was multitasking as well.
    1
  149. In the frequency domain and analog to boot.
    1
  150. Interesting how the inability to patent and hence facilitate a transition from academia to commercial made all the difference. Something some in the states complains about because all academic work should belong to the public.
    1
  151. Do public spaces have privacy?
    1
  152. Maybe nForce would have been better than it was.
    1
  153. Giant pain, but good on exercising the skills, and the paycheck too.
    1
  154. Maybe WinFS with the relational model applied to file systems.
    1
  155. Considering the foundation I can see why. https://youtu.be/CFsn1CUyXWs
    1
  156.  @penguinswithdynamite  Lithium Sulfur is the new darling.
    1
  157.  @M33f3r  DRM on the EUV machines.
    1
  158. Personal computers as works of art.
    1
  159. Maybe he will cover MUMPS.
    1
  160. About as overpriced as a Hololens. People just are mad that they can't get good things at cheap prices especially early in it's cycle.
    1
  161. Needs a food sponsor.
    1
  162. Even China would be hurt. One of the reasons for an invasion is to get that capacity and knowledge.
    1
  163.  @ChrisSmith-tc4df  A steady source of income if nothing else. Plus chiplets and FPGAs in the consumer CPU/GPU space could be interesting.
    1
  164.  @raylopez99  Currently, but AMD could have big plans for their Xilinx purchase. A chiplet FPGA could do wonders for the adoption of FPGA.
    1
  165. Big enough for a faux window.
    1
  166. Time crystal powered mirrors.
    1
  167. You mean Access.
    1
  168. The integration of multimedia was the big thing of that time with video capture and TV tuners.
    1
  169. His previous video covered that. Cheaper and easier to reuse existing water.
    1
  170. Like Apple.
    1
  171. Belgium company.
    1
  172.  @lonyo5377  The significance of chip-lets.
    1
  173. I remember where there were channel tuning pots under a panel.
    1
  174. Not really. Binary blob it might be, I found the NVIDIA installation easier, with better results, worked the first time. ATI/AMD not so much. Even with open source the drivers would be behind.
    1
  175.  @ervie60  This channel did a video on this.
    1
  176.  @ccoder4953  Sounds like job security.
    1
  177. Deer-RAM is the best. Made with all natural ingredients. Seriously the most important thing is does it help or hurt communications to say something one way or another.
    1
  178.  @South_0f_Heaven_  Same here. Gave me many years till DRM and it's needed instructions (SSE if memory serves) forced an upgrade.
    1
  179.  @truthsocialmedia  Had a board that was Tseng and PowerVR which in itself went on to mobile success. Also Matrox was big back in the 2D space for multi-monitor setups like on the trading floor.
    1
  180. Watch catalogs can be beautiful.
    1
  181.  @hackerbrinelam5381  I suspect microplastics are playing a role which is why the decline is global and crossing all the old boundaries.
    1
  182. The right to dispose of people.
    1
  183.  @cogoid  sounds a little like a diffraction grating.
    1
  184. Said by everyone with a waterbed.
    1
  185. "Cold enough"? Pre or post climate change?
    1
  186.  @fayenotfaye  Moore's law and GPUs.
    1
  187.  @wtice4632  Fanaticism aren't the exclusive domain of religion.
    1
  188.  @quisqueyanguy120  A desirability not an inevitability.
    1
  189. That requires checking before the packaging step. Doesn't help the e-waste problem.
    1
  190.  @xenuburger7924  Stamping (pressing) goes back to the making of coinage which this process really is.
    1
  191. Imagine they had to get fusion working first before proceeding to better semiconductors.
    1
  192.  @PK-tt5kk  Quantum physics for our quantum computers.
    1
  193. Less burning of forests (both natural and land clearing).
    1
  194.  @reinerheiner1148  Pumped underground.
    1
  195. Politics is the only industry every political movement supports.
    1
  196.  @nigratruo  Atari called, they want their history back.
    1
  197.  @mceajc  Well there's Aureal Semiconductor as well. Even remember when I had a Guillemot Maxi Sound Game Theater 64 using the CS4236. Hot stuff for the time.
    1
  198. Cloning technology.
    1
  199.  @sunspot42  Well we are talking about micro-leds so going "pretty far up" is already implied.
    1
  200.  @markdavis7397  : And let's not forget analog semiconductors.
    1
  201. Blur lines between analog and digital with SDR.
    1
  202. Micro-factories. Artificial organs like liver or kidney.
    1
  203. Didn't "unbundle" the OS.
    1
  204. Cellphones being a big RFID user with the companion cards.
    1
  205. Kind of like...the medical field?
    1
  206. DC can pivot to many different jobs, although the growing use of tensor may limit that to some extent (think going all into crypto and the subsequent hardware dumping).
    1
  207. Not without Windows on board. That's where the wintel moniker came from.
    1
  208. ​ @yudogcome5901 Aluminum cans for starters.
    1
  209. Paul Harvey: And now you know the rest of the story.
    1
  210.  @mercster  Not just abstracted but fundamentally different underneath.
    1
  211. The funny thing there's presently development of IC technology applied to valves.
    1
  212. The company town dressed up for the modern age.
    1
  213.  @Gameboygenius  The running joke over on Gameforscratch is the word, foliage.
    1
  214. Video in a bag.
    1
  215. Buying creative would have been nice.
    1
  216.  @submachinegun5737  Handy for catching ghosts as well.
    1
  217. Interesting how it started with memory and jumped to CPU, considering memory doesn't push barriers as hard as CPU.
    1
  218. Personal computing is one of the few that's grown up in an entire human generation.
    1
  219.  @cv990a4  In summery every country looks out for it's own interests. Maybe a lot of failures can be placed on not enough love being spread around.
    1
  220.  @skierpage  Side effect maybe our infrastructure will get better so everyone benefits, autonomous or not.
    1
  221. For that time period it was being provided with the road, and one had to build their own vehicles.
    1
  222. There's thin-film memory as well. More amicable to manufacturing. The univac-1107 used it.
    1
  223. Super Duper.
    1
  224. Circuity built upon biological principles.
    1
  225.  @H0mework  AMD was smart in not market differentiating virtualization and ECC for the consumer chips for the longest time.
    1
  226. Voice coil singing.
    1
  227. They do well in the feature phone market.
    1
  228. Packaging is going to be where things are headed because it's easier than building a new node. Easier to tailor to a particular need in an economical way.
    1
  229. Hence the idea of renting it out when not in use.
    1
  230. This channel did a good story on other counties attempts. Controlling the small is very hard, and multiple reasons to fail. Plus, the leaders aren't standing still waiting for everyone else to catch up.
    1
  231.  @westrim  Condoms.
    1
  232. Fake people.
    1
  233. World peace.
    1
  234. Improving broadband infrastructure and always on connections helped the streaming market.
    1
  235.  @dosgos  The zits market.
    1
  236. Boolean logic and base arithmetic.
    1
  237. Doing some of the same things like slimming down the product line.
    1
  238. Maybe they chip their cattle?
    1
  239. Just imagine if it had been talking about butt-er.
    1
  240. Chiplets came about in part because of the limits of both monolithic design as well as process limitations.
    1
  241. Like creating a fancy cake.
    1
  242.  @sunspot42  Some display drawing tablets use Q-dots.
    1
  243. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Much like Commodore and MOS.
    1
  244. Someone had to live and write the lecture first.
    1
  245. A different side of the greed coin. Everyone else is greedy...except us.
    1
  246. Packing and the return of MCM.
    1
  247. In a way the architecture behind the Kyro lived on in mobile space, even if it didn't succeed in PCs.
    1
