Bula Vinaka posted:They also use massive amounts of water for cooling. Taiwan Semiconductor is building a new chip fab plant in Phoenix AZ, which is pretty far away from big lakes or rivers, so I'm not sure how they're going to handle that. Coolant doesn't need to be potable, and it doesn't get contaminated in the process. You just keep a reservoir and recycle the water.

If russia couldn't take ukraine i doubt china can take taiwan. Taiwan have been training for like 50 years to defend against invasion. And its nowhere as forgiving terrain wise as "a big flat plain with roads we can drive across"

Australia spending 30 years and 1/2 the military budget to build submarines to protect our trade routes with our biggest trading partner...from our biggest trading partner. And spending a lot of time on working out if the Chinese Navy can take and hold...Guadalcanal. Why China would try and cut off the supply lines to Australia instead of just buying it (which they did the for the entire Port of Darwin) is unclear. Murdoch would be happy to sell it.

Bula Vinaka posted:From what I've read, modern Taiwanese chip fabs make chips using photolithography, which uses ultraviolet light to get down to the atomic scale. TSMC would be almost impossible to replace for MANY reasons and it would be anything but a short term issue- it would take possibly decades to get back to where we are now. But, you're barking up the wrong tree here. Photolithography is catered by ASML which is Dutch. Trust me there are a bunch of reasons why you're right but photolithography is not one. Do those homies look Taiwanese to u, look at that fat gently caress https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASML_Holding There's other concerns too though. TSMC is struggling with its newest processes as chips scale down so tiny they begin to experience all manner of wacky physics. It's kind of unclear when the 3NM and 2NM processes will be ready for prime time. This may allow competitors to catch up to some degree if this process takes a really long time but it's too early to tell quite yet. Don't underestimate TSMC though, the poo poo they make is more comparable to magic than anything else humans make imo. It would be a world-changing development if it were to be destroyed, and Taiwan would likely burn TSMC to the ground before it let China have it.

I've actually been wondering, wouldn't it be possible to load the most important/expensive parts of the fab onto ships and move them to another location? Obviously it would be difficult and expensive to do this safely, but surely not as difficult and expensive as building brand new equipment from scratch, right?

EMP destroys electronics by inducing electrical currents and arcing in the circuitry itself without it being connected to power, so no your old poo poo isn't safe and those will be roached. Also to experience an EMP blast like that you'd have to be so close to nuclear ground zero that you have other, bigger things to worry about.

The chip shortage haunted us from about May 2020 until the day we shut down the last production run of boards worth money because we ran out of a SMD capacitor that was going to be delivered as soon as July 12. Manufacturing ended at that plant in February. I did have half a lot sit in a dry box for 3 months because we had to wait on an opamp that was cycle counted wrong.

It would be very dangerous to declare Taiwanese independence or anything, but IMO the thing that will make a Chinese invasion of Taiwan the most unlikely would be if the Chinese think that an invasion of Taiwan would likely be an economy-melting clusterfuck with an uncertain outcome. In short, the more prepared Taiwan is to resist a Chinese invasion, the less likely it is that the Chinese will ever attempt it.

Fascists are loving stupid and eventually they'll launch into pointless destruction to own the libs. Remember when everyone thought Putin was a savvy spymaster and cunning strategist?
