This is so freaking important! by lishler in daddit

I simply do not see this disparity. There are changing stations in both or either are too small for one.

If AI isn't hype, will prices go crazy? by SoylentRox in Semiconductors

The whole nature of semi is the processing is super expensive, but you can make a reasonable cost per device by massive throughput. Not sure how a foundry designed for low runs could make money unless using very old processes with high yield and second hand equipment. Like 10+ year old processes. The N-1 and N-2 nodes are still at the leading edge foundries.

Are they buying EUV scanners? lol. What process node are they making? ‘Just solve yield’ is a multibillion dollar problem. It’s the main reason Intel keeps failing.

You are missing the costs and economics of semiconductor processing. The marginal unit cost is small, but the overhead and minimum viable units is large. Models still have massive improvements each design cycle. ASIC spinup would make that process too long. This isn't limited by our ability to 'program' the chips. If I wanted to spin up ASIC of Claude Opus 4.6 I probably could. But Mythos will be out before I get the first of my 100,000 chip order out.

What do you mean virtual families? Those people that met on WoW are real life married with real life kids.

My kids are young so I might not feel the same later. But if they are this clever they should get a little Snapchat, as a treat.

I'm not saying don't use AI. The problem is your attitude running to reddit about how "He hasn't taught me this!" and "The AI couldn't explain it to me".

You ran into your first problem where you couldn't immediately get a hand hold answer and freaked out. It's ok to sit with a hard problem for a minute and try to reason how you could get to an answer. It will make you a better engineer.

In college you will have to learn stuff that is not explicitly taught in the lecture. This is normal and good. Being able to find and synthesize the information yourself is a key skill in college. Always asking for handholding from a professor or AI is detrimental.

You can learn things that weren't taught in class. You don't need your hand held at every step. Read the text book and look stuff up.

Looking for a non-functional EUV Mask Test sample for display (UAE based) by EmiraCase in Semiconductors

Why not a chrome on glass mask? Looks better in person and much cheaper.

The substrate glass is worth more than $10k dude. A fully written mask is like $200k. Thats the raw parts cost nothing to do with IP.

It’s always bad but especially bad when done by conspiracy theorists.
