You say it costs them a fortune, but what are you comparing that to? And does that take into account the downstream effects of creating world-leading industries in their economy? I think the thing they unambiguously get right is competition. You can't achieve achieve world class results, in a...

The real problem with WiFi 7 isn't the standard (which is actually excellent and probably the first major improvement to Wi-Fi since the introduction of 802.11ac). Technically speaking, WiFi 7 should offer huge improvements for signal quality, due to the introduction of MLO and multi-resource...

I agree, this smells very fishy to be honest. The headline accusation (passing a USB stick containing confidential industrial secrets, for money) does not seems at all congruous with the sentence he's facing. Normally, for this kind of international industrial theft, for a geopolitically...

FYI, support for higher clock speeds has been available in Micropython for a long time now, with the machine.freq() function. I wonder if this type of certification will carry over to the RP2350, which is capable of a stable 270MHz, by my most accounts.

You know what really reeks of "run of the mill (sic) idiot"? Some no-mark, complaining in a forum on the internet, about how this century's most successful entrepreneur is somehow secretly stupid.

Dear lord, you don't know when to stop, do you? This NASA report - dated January 1991 - clearly states in the first paragraph that: "A potential flow panel code, called PMARC (Panel Method Ames Research Centre), is currently being developed at Ames Research Centre..." I.e it couldn't have...

I have to admit that is a neat trick that I wouldn't have thought of myself: using CFD algorithms that weren't introduced until the 1980s, to perform the fluid-dynamics calculations for a 1970s ABM system, using 1970s computer systems, 10 years prior to those algorithms being available...

The fact someone could seriously believe that a missile from 60 years ago performed real-time fluid dynamics calculations, SDR and pattern recognition functions, at a time when integrated circuits were only 10 years old, is just baffling.

I think you're missing the point here: the Nvidia chip isn't being used to calculate a simple ballistic intercept trajectory (which is actually a fairly trivial calculation that can be done in a few lines with paper and pencil), it's being used to perform fluid dynamics simulations which don't...

This is the same China that graduates 1.4 million engineers every year - this compared to the United States' 200,000 or so. Oh and let's not forget the fact that many of those engineers will actually find their way into industrial/engineering jobs after finishing university, due to China's...

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there's plenty of very significant (possibly even insurmountable) problems that will have to be worked out, before/if we ever see real, useful devices using JJs. My point was simply that the potential advantages of a real STP superconductor aren't just limited to...

The main promising application of superconductors in microelectronics is replacement of FETs with Josephson Junctions, where they would indeed be revolutionary, allowing switching frequencies of 100s of GHz, with power dissipation in the milliWatts (or less). It would probably be the largest...
