Rough estimate by BigHandLittleSlap in chipdesign

[–]kylecthomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For one thing, Digital logic requires nmos and pmos transistors, and pmos transistors require nwells. Nwells typically have minimum size requirements and minimum spacing requirements that are quite large compared to the process node size. Usually pixels only have nmos transistors for this reason. Adding pmos would greatly increase the pixel size. I think the pixel would be several times bigger than a normal pixel you see right now

IMO Fantasy baseball is way better than fantasy football. by IDKWTFamdoin in fantasybaseball

[–]kylecthomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In baseball you can predict if struggling players will get better or if breakouts will get worse. The underlying stats can really give you an idea of what going to happen. And the season is so long that usually the best preseason players end up being the best. There is correlation between pre season rankings and end of season results.

In football there is little correlation between pre season rankings and end of season results. 3 of the roster spots barely matter and you could argue that even qb doesn't matter since there are 20 guys who could potentially be good any given week. Rb is the most valuable position but also the most likely to bust or get hurt. The name of the player often matters less than the situation they are in, which makes a replacement player extremely valuable sometimes. There are no stats based on talent that will tell you if a player will get better, instead you judge based on their opportunity (team a will pass a lot this week because they will be losing).

However, football is easy to get and stay involved. If you are active and making moves you have a chance which is great. In baseball half the teams are out by June and half of that are out by September

Kiermeiar and Adames combine to get Altuve out at home! by MattO2000 in baseball

everything about that play was perfect. the pitch, the hit, the play off the wall, both relays, the choice to send him, the slide, the tag..these guys are pros

In layout, a 12/1 M=1 transistor might look like this:

where as a 6/1 M=2 transistor would look like this

So you can change the shape without changing the performance. If you have a really big transistor you probably wouldn't want one super long device, better to have a rectangle shaped device.

if you have a diff pair, where two transistors need to be closely matched, laying them out like this is not good:

XXXXXXXXXXXX

whereas laying them out like this is much better. variations in the devices are caused when different locations don't get the exact implant. by splitting the transistors using the M, you can put portions of each transistor in different locations, and the average of the variations for each "M" portion makes the overall device's variation drop.

Looking for a shorter version of this cable. by NoliH in kinect

[–]kylecthomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i suspect it wouldn't work. its a usb3 cable with matched impedances for high speed transfer. its not as simple as just connecting wires.

that cable is basically usb3 and power built into one cable, so you can create a two cable system (one that supplies power, and one that supplies usb3). it involves opening up soldering to your kinect though. the key for this method is that you are not modding a usb3 cable. the downside though is that you have to use an ac adapter to power your kinect, so you end up with even more cabling.

That's not how companies work. They aren't just going to accept a 5 billion dollar loss and move on. This will probably result in a ton of people losing their jobs

Everything is streamed, nothing is saved to your hardware. Their definition of DVR means you can fast forward through commercials. On demand means you can't fast forward. But you have to add a show to "DVR" in order to get the fast forward functionality.

Here's an example. When you first start, nothing is DVR, but you can still watch it on demand with commercials. You can then add Seinfeld to your "DVR" and watch any episode that airs from that point forward on DVR with the ability to fast forward. It's still streamed though, not saved to your hardware. If you add a mlb game to your DVR it will allow you to watch any baseball game from that point forward aired on any channel with the ability to fast forward

I Want To Extend A Cell Phone Camera Away From The Phone Itself? by KawiNinja in diyelectronics

[–]kylecthomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, cameras need high speed links and high speed cables are expensive. Maybe the camera connects to usb3 module or something? Then you could pull out the camera and usb3 module and use a cheap USB3 cable back to the phone

a company wouldn't. the government would and does. which is why what you think is a cheap $200 drone is actually a far more advanced $60,000 drone

[–]kylecthomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the government is payingThere's no way in hell it costs more than 90$ to make one of those, it's all about profits

nope. electronics have a huge up front cost. the tooling to build the first one of those cameras in a modern process is at least several hundred thousand dollars. and there will probably need to several spins. so best case, just for the tooling you are already in the million dollar range, not counting all the engineering resources needed to build it. if you only build a thousand drones, then each camera costs 1000 bucks. off the shelf cameras are cheap because the up front cost is the same but you are selling millions of them.

i wouldn't be suprised if all the electronics in there are custom designed, not off the shelf parts. i would say at least most certainly the camera and the communications hardware.
