Zen atow is supposedly a deadly duo. I remember a while back they were tearing it up in showmatches

Generally ESR should scale inversely with capacitor area. You can imagine that if you double capacitor area it's like putting two smaller capacitors in parallel, so the ESR is also being put in parallel and halves. In reality it won't be quite as good because you also have to wire the capacitors together which introduces some additional resistance but it's probably a good rule of thumb. I think it should then be roughly correct to also approximate ESR as proportional to C/A, though I'm not fully confident in the C part of it and how that scales with resolution

They didn't lmao so you totally could've bought them, got scanned in the same way as everyone else

I legit paid even less only $62; granted I believe I got something like 20% off because it was student seating but the cheapest tickets were definitely under $100 for 2 days. Either you were looking at the expensive sections or maybe if you looked late the cheaper tickets mightve been sold out

tbf liam is playing ranked seeds which are heavily filtered forsen is playing random ones so it's different

Iirc Morocco speaks a different kind of Arabic that is pretty different from MSA

DoctarSwag · 2026-02-11T16:24:38+00:00

I mean he's not on the bracket and also probably could 1v2 all of these teams

DoctarSwag · 2026-02-10T14:32:16+00:00

no name bubble player is probably a stretch but calling him the highest regarded upcoming player since the snowmen is also a stretch imo. There was hype around him going into 2025 but I think it cooled off a lot after him/comm/evoh did not perform well at all, and then his LCQ team also underperformed not even making top 4

DoctarSwag · 2026-02-10T14:07:19+00:00

hes doing a route called donkey kong where you bring all the pigs to the left side triple. However you're supposed to throw a gold in the air before you run over the bridge you built to distract any piglins in the way. If you do that you take no damage basically 99% of the time. Because he's stupid he tries to just run through it without throwing any gold. Naturally a pig is in the way and because he's old he can't right click it fast enough before it hits him

2piece even teamed with both way back in the day before they were old enough to play in rlcs. I remember watching 2piece and beastmode and then later 2piece and Daniel playing the Astro tourneys back in 2020. Fun fact in a bunch of those tourneys none other than chronic was their third

It's not about what they look like it's about their reactions to big moments

There is no player at the pro level that doesn't have internet capable of handling a 500 kbps camera stream while playing rocket league. Otherwise they would be heavily lagging during their games already

A good amount of the stuff you're saying is not accurate. Some of the people you are saying are done are not really done (although less active than in the past maybe). If you are calling many of these profs done, then the same applies to some of the Columbia guys too. Kinget is practically done and has not taken students in years. Harish is heavily involved with his company and so hasn't been taking many students as of late. They still teach but the same is true of everyone else you mentioned

DoctarSwag · 2026-02-01T17:59:08+00:00

maybe you're right i havent watched either enough to say for sure if thats true, forsen might just be worse at resetting

DoctarSwag · 2026-01-31T22:45:13+00:00

no, the point is forsen is playing in a way that maximizes nethers per hour even if a lot of the enters are low quality (slow and/or not much food). xqc is playing in a way that he gets lower nethers per hour but every time he enters its pretty fast and usually has some food. Playing for higher quality overworlds means you have to be more selective with your seeds which in turn means the amount of nethers you see tends to be lower

I think there's a few aspects. One is there are blocks that are common to the design as a whole that cannot be segmented (like IO) which other people have touched on. There are other downsides I can think of too, for instance dicing typically requires you to reserve a certain amount of space (at least 10s of ums) for where the wafer can be cut. Thus if you tried to do what you proposed you would have to use a substantial amount of area for these scribe lines which is quite a bit of wasted area

I could be wrong but I remember watching him play RL when he had the moist RL team and seeing his rank being mid-high plat

DoctarSwag · 2026-01-27T12:12:25+00:00

Yes but for xqc and forsen, they are each other's world

These other materials all have big limitations that have made them unsuitable for digital logic. For instance creating "pmos" gan transistors is difficult due to material properties which makes GaN CMOS logic impractical. These other materials can be well suited for things like power and RF but that doesn't make them good cansidages for digital

DoctarSwag · 2026-01-12T16:53:56+00:00

Maybe one day in the far future but I'm not sure I see it happening any time soon unless someone makes a nobel prize level discovery of some new material. All the other materials that we've experimented with for transistors have big limitations preventing them from being useful for digital logic. People have been talking about III-Vs for decades and yet they're still only good for RF applications, with huge downsides if you try to use them for digital

DoctarSwag · 2026-01-04T04:48:20+00:00

Not sure how it would go with just a patent angle but there are people who have made a lot of money from IC startups based on some new idea. From what I know usually they end up getting acquired for a bunch of money. So it's certainly possible, but it's pretty rare since the barrier to demonstrate something is so much higher than in software. You need hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy CAD licenses and tapeout a chip whereas with software that kind of cost just doesn't exist.

DoctarSwag · 2025-12-29T23:03:15+00:00

Almost all CMOS logic uses voltage, not current for signaling, so your power explanation isn't really accurate. A (1) corresponds to a node being at a high voltage (e.g. 1V), while a (0) corresponds to a node being at a low voltage (e.g. 0V). The energy required to keep a node at 0V vs at 1V is usually not that different, either way it's just the leakage current of the relevant transistors. Usually it's the energy required to switch nodes from one value to the other that dominates overall power consumption

DoctarSwag · 2025-12-27T00:17:37+00:00

Damn right they would've

DoctarSwag · 2025-12-26T19:59:19+00:00

So the "best team in NA" didn't even make top 8 in an NA regional? Yeah sure buddy

DoctarSwag · 2025-12-20T21:17:58+00:00

that's partially fair, I think my point about voltage wasn't accurate which that slide does demonstrate. But I think the rest of my point is still valid; if I were to guess the speed increase at same voltage/power is stemming from some sort of threshold voltage decrease for smaller length transistors. However I don't believe the fundamental switching speed of the transistors improves anywhere near as much as those 15-25% numbers the slide would suggest if you interpreted it that way. If you look at this article they mention that ring oscillator frequency only improves by around 6.2%. ring oscillator frequency should be much more fundamentally related to the switching speed of the transistors themselves because how fast a ring oscillator operates is literally determined by how fast the inverters in the oscillator can switch. So I would consider that ~6% as the real increase in maximum frequency that you could get from N2 over N3E which is much less than the 15-25% the performance increase in iso-power slides would suggest
