You might like the 'The Prize' by Daniel Yergin on the history of petroleum and which also won the Pulitzer Prize.


This is the book that got me into realizing history can be so interesting. This was my first history book that I bought on my own!


You omitted the 90's when artificial life, genetic algorithms, subsumption architecture were the research topics.


On Firefox, these archive links go into an endless captcha loop or error: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP.

But the link works fine on Safari.


The software is complex and you need to work closely with existing fabs.

> you need to work closely with existing fabs

It's mostly this part.

The fabs are using the EDA companies the same way PC manufacturers used Microsoft in the 1990s. There is only really one company for each particular piece of the EDA toolchain -- Cadence and Synopsys don't really compete directly now that they've run everybody else out of business (or bought them up). "Using" here is in the symbiotic sense.


I think Siemens deserves to be on the list but your main point remains. They all really excel at one step or another in the EDA chain. Even they do compete generally across the all broad scopes it sometimes feels like it is not a serious effort. Sometime I wonder which is cause and which is effect, is the reason some fabs simply don't provide PDK support for all options with each company because the tools are lacking or are the tools lacking because the fab does not want to provide support.


And for perspective, 2nm is approximately how much your fingernail grows in the time it took to read this sentence.

(3.47mm per month)/(30 * 24 * 60 * 60 seconds) = 1.33nm/second


Now this was a great and memorable comparison, thanks.


That's because the x-axis is "pairwise allele-sharing distance" ie: we munged the data every which way to find something that we could use k-means clustering to write a paper.

A better graph would be a "pairwise interracial-fucking distance" with the y axis the percentage of healthy babies born. That would be just one cluster.

Balloons can loiter over a location.


So can teenaged geosynchronous satellites.


The expectation is that FSD should not do stupid things that a normal alert human driver would not do like

1. drive straight into a concrete barrier https://youtu.be/Tr-oF7J0cBw?t=13

2. drive straight under a tractor trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BgV-YnHZeE

In this instance

3. Come to a complete halt in a tunnel with busy high speed traffic for no apparent reason.

And the excuse that the driver should have been ready to take over within fractions of a second of the Tesla making a mistake while in FSD is absurd expectations on human reflexes and attention.


Merging works great. Drag multiple files to the main window. A dialog pops up to allow you to select the order of the files. Then merge and a new merged file is created.
