Oh no, 3D ICs are a scam because they can't possibly work and there aren't other processes in development that make transistors run cooler or less susceptible to heat.

(it wont, it will get worse due to triple convergence/latent demand and ever increasing urban populations) hate paying attention to the road? the self driving car will make this a thing of the past! (in 20 years after multiple generations, before then you'll be trapped in a hellish coma as you prepare to take over driving on a moment's notice without actually being able to divert your attention lest you void the manufacturer's warranty of driver assist, oh also there's a camera in the car tracking your eyes so we can tell if you're looking at porn and assign you liability for any crashes)

The entire payoff is that you don't have to pay attention, except you do? Humans don't do well watching a green button waiting for it to go red because after a few minutes we assume the green button is okay and gently caress off in ways the camera can't (and can) tell. E: A pure self driving world would fix a fuckload of congestion problems simply based on tiny tolerances.

Powershift posted:Intel's lack of progress is likely a matter of market conditions, but how about Nvidia, AMD, qualcomm, samsung? We'll see windows 10 on snapdragon 835 devices this year, Actually Intel had started to hit a wall and Moore's law basically ended a few years ago. There's a reason clock speeds haven't moved at all and it's because going from a 45nm process to a 22nm is a much bigger jump in efficiency then going from 22nm to 10nm. We're running out of room at the bottom here. I sincerely hope we have some kind of breakthrough because otherwise we're gonna run out of progress to make.  Also battery price has improved a lot but the actual weight and efficiency have increased a tiny amount because you can really only cram lithium atoms so close together. Its hard to find hard numbers on it but the rate of actual energy density increase is <1%/year, it's linear and it appears to be slowing Gasoline really is the perfect fuel. A tech that could turn atmospheric CO2 and water into gasoline, even at 5% efficiency would blow batteries out of the water.

So you're saying.... Gasoline batteries?!?!? Hydrogen was supposed to do that too but it's just so annoying to work with. Edit: we'll probably see a lag in new technology but a drop in price as R&D focuses on improving production efficiency rather than cramming more devices on a wafer. Meanwhile still searching for new and exciting ways to cram as much data/processes into as little space whatever gets used to do it. IC manufacturing is osha as gently caress at least. Metal oxides need etched away so plenty of HF. Plenty of other nasties like 30% peroxide in the same building as acetone and all the other common acids in various concentrations.

Another factor with shrinking silicon geometry is that it affects reliability. Bit flipping errors happen more often, it's more sensitive to temperature, lifespan is reduced etc. On the last 45nm chip I worked on, every 64 bits of flash memory had another 8 bits of storage purely for error correction codes and enabling it was mandatory. 1-bit errors are now expected to happen frequently enough they're part of normal operation. The SRAM also had the same ratio in parity bits to detect errors. After all it's not good if your 32-bit throttle control variable flips a high bit and suddenly has 2^31 added to the value and you don't know about it.

Unrelated to OSHA but today someone was ear-bashing me about some wonderful new technology that uses aluminium and water to create hydrogen gas, "for the price of the water". Unless I've mucked up the chemistry, this is burning up the aluminium as fuel. Cheap, renewable, totally carbon neutral aluminium.

I may be in the minority here, but I think algae-based biodiesel is the best option for a carbon-neutral motor fuel for the foreseeable future. It can be grown from wastewater on otherwise-unusable land, or it could even be grown on the open ocean, consumes atmospheric CO2 to make hydrocarbons, and doesn't consume valuable food-growing resources. I'm really disappointed that more work isn't being done in this area.

Seriously though I agree entirely, some kind of transition fuel that's carbon neutral or close to it while remaining compatible with existing engines and distribution networks (or close enough that conversions are practical) would be really nice. I was super hyped on hydrogen for the longest time, until I realized how horrible it is to store. A BMW Hydrogen7's 45 gallon liquid hydrogen tank starts boiling off after less than a day parked and will be entirely empty within two weeks.

There was some noise about converting CO2 straight into ethanol about year ago, don't know if anything came out of it since then. Far easier to store than hydrogen. Probably easier to burn too.

Including non-fatal incidents, it's an average of 1.9 million miles per injury. That's more than the average lifetime total for a lot of drivers. It is not significantly risky at this point in history, driving a modern car,, unless you're a drunk rear end in a top hat (or their collateral damage). CDC Deaths: Final Data for 2014 posted:All unintentional injury deaths Diabetes mellitus at 76,488 deaths per annum, is ranked number 7 and is more than double accident fatalities. Seriously though, loving people falling off poo poo is amazingly high in the list and what is the deal with poisoning? The obesity related deaths are the most amazing but least surprising; automotive deaths and everything accidental are a tiny fraction of that. Clearly the answer is autonomous fridges first, cars later.
