But I believe Pat will understand the tightly coupled Design (which he was over) and Fabrication to get devices that are required. So he can dig in much deeper than Swan or even BK and able to ferret out problem people and replace them quickly before more damage....but time will tell.
No...
Intel over past 7 years (yes, Swan along with BK's reign) significantly crippled Intel's integrated design and manufacturing duopoly. Without any change, Intel would have followed in the steps of AMD. With Pat returning; growing up and fully understanding the 'old' culture; with a stockpile of...
On point.
For decades, we have lots far more people to the annual flu while less than 50% of the population gets the annual vaccine (CDC website data). In addition, we have started to see measles and chickenpox breakouts due to people that have not been vaccinated. Highly correlated on...
No question that this is very overblown given we barely give notice to the annual flu, under 50% of population takes the annual flu shot and it causes far more deaths that this virus. Yes, there are warning signs that these types of viruses can spread more easily; just look at the measles...
Black swan events definitely cause lots of unknowns and stress within the system. Black swans can also cause people to re-evaluate how they do business. Examples: more working from home and companies might be surprised (good or bad) by the results; less travel expenses that lead to...
Many may not be aware but back in the 1970's, Hughes (I believe) had a fundamental process patent about self aligning gates/implanting. They targeted a few companies and when they got them to settle, they went after others. At the time, it was very easy to prove via pics that a company either...
No question, this can have a downside. But this will also force possibly new materials, new processes, etc to be developed that are superior to ones currently used. In addition, back in the 70-80s, one common question was how can we second source this ASIC? Why? they did not want to have a...
yep, another way to be disruptive to the next cell standard. It would have been interesting to see if Qualcomm did not have a strangle hold on many of the cell patents....tough to go back in time to see how this market would have been affected by this change.....Intel could open it up and maybe...
what might be interesting is for the US Gov't to purchase these patents and allow free usage to companies. US can decide if they want to provide free for all countries or determine what access costs.....odd thought given the trade conflicts and Huawei issues....
This was an article that I read in Nature Briefing (email update). This article had the 'high' points but did not delve into specific poker players used in the study or how it was performed (or even about the algorithm). The article references a much deeper article and names the players...
