Transistors are the basic building blocks of computer chips. Theyre essentially things which can be ‘on’ or ‘off’.
The traditional transistors use something called a p-n junction. To make one of these, we need to carefully implant impurity atoms into silicon in a very specific concentration gradient.
When transistors get very small, it becomes extremely difficult to make this concentration gradient just right. Which is a limits how small the p-n junction can be.
The new gate-all-around transistors are shaped completely different, and are more like 3D structures than 2D patterns. And, crucially, they dont require p-n junctions. Which means we’re not limited by how small we can make concentration gradients, but instead by how small we can make these structures. Which is a lot smaller.
The fact that China is getting better at this means that high-performance computer chips may get cheaper as production wont be dominated by TSMC/ASML.


Ah, of course.


The horse is the computer…?


What is it even supposed to mean?

Please can someone fork the kernel, it would be so fucking funny


I don’t think many people are against the existence of LLM-based AI in general, just the way it’s being pushed currently.
In the hands of highly experienced and skilled people it can be very valuable - the issue is that it generally isn’t. Personally I think Linus has demonstrated that he’s more than capable of using it intelligently and responsibly.


Presumably because Na+ ions are the active charge carriers.


Physically possibility is one thing. Materials and engineering constraints are another thing entirely.
Physically possible =/= Feasible.


“Descent”? Which way is down when you’re at the bottom?


Seems like quite an important drive to have access to. They should probably try to fix that. imo


AI is pretty unique as far as technological innovation goes because of how it interacts with labour markets.
Most labour-saving technologies increase the productivity of labour, increasing its value, which generally makes ordinary people a little better off, for a time at least.
AI is different because instead of enhancing human labour, it competes with it, driving down the value of labour. This makes workers worse off.
This problem is of course unique to an economic system where workers must sell their labour to others.
Why is it talking like yoda
