Having taken my first ride in a self-driving Tesla employee-owned, car the experience was very impressive. Tesla is taking automation to the very edge, I can just imagine how the Tesla factories are automated. The automation of warehouses/retail stores will come on strong providing new markets...
Our credit cards have become just about useless for they have been used in fraud almost as soon as they are issued. I am at the point I don't want to use a card that is not chipped for security. Some major credit card company's cards are almost useless for the fraud is almost immediate. We...
While many professions will adopt AI/ML and the massive efficiencies it will bring as it learns more and more as it is used, many professions will consider it a threat. What do readers think the early adopter professions will be and those that will fight it tooth and nail?
Great points, if everyone in a neighborhood even want to charge a small number of cars in limited time, the houses would have to go dark. Excellent point.
The Chinese claim their Deepseek AI will run on the lower cost H100 Nvidia chip which is not restricted. It looks like they used Meta Lama and GPT4 to develop this software which would be a service violation. The Chinese developed this software for a cost of only five million. Sam Altman said...
Will an AI/ML program be built that learns and advances on its own as it is used? If so, will this lead to a myriad of AI/ML programs that constantly advance as there are used? Any thoughts, comments or expansions sought and welcome.
What timelines and potential do the SemiWiki readers feel...
As I wrote in a Barron's forum that US medical has become the world's most profitable criminal organization taking 20 cents of every single dollar while delivering 37th in quality of care. After Barron's approved publication after six weeks, the medical industry had the web scrubbed of much of...
It looks like the combination of battery improvements combined with advancing solar and small efficient windmills that will be ducted and shrouded combined will be real game changers. Imaging a house or building roof designed to funnel wind to a shrouded/ducted wind generator set for...
China is moving fast to dominate many medical technologies, especially automating much of medical. There advances in medical robotics in more and more areas will give them an ever-increasing edge over US companies that are saddled with high medical costs for mediocre medical services. Much of...

With serious progress being made in solid state batteries, what areas do readers think they will have the greatest impact on the semi sector?

These regulations are setting the stage for medical robots which I have no doubt will be updated at an ever-accelerating rate. The range of autonomy is already increasing and with the rising cost of medical provides the inputs that this is...
With very inefficient, high cost, low quality medical the US seems to be letting China take the lead in automating medical. The Chinese have made automating as many medical procedures as possible a priority. Even though they are behind in many technical areas, this is one area where they are...
What will happen when a few people really how to perform many multipoles of the work they do now using AI/ML? I see this happening as specialized versions of AI/ML could accelerate its ability to displace people as a few master and implement AI/ML to vastly improve not only the quantity of...
This sounds standard for large mega projects of which I have worked on more than a few. Tackling problems on very large multibillion dollar projects was part of my job. It's surprising when a mega project doesn't run into a few problems along the way. A billion here a billion there is how...
AI/ML have the potential to compress the time and money needed for education, especially combined with virtual reality learning. Will special interests in the current system become a facilitator or a barrier to this trend and if so, will they be displaced and rendered obsolete? The current...
Individual responsibility is the first requirement for good health. Fortunately, we now have access to more information and tools to help us maintain our health. Good health, with rare exceptions is about personal choices, but we now have more information and tools at our disposal to give us...
Where do you think chip technology will go from here? Stacking different functions in a single chip may be the future with many surprises to come, never has the semi segment been static for long and there may be many surprises in the future, from technologies, cost, power consumption, memory...
With home monitoring of blood pressure, blood sugar, heart rate, oxygen levels, sleep apnea other tests coming online how far will semis penetrate into home medical monitoring and maybe even advancing to control medical conditions? Is remote medical monitoring the next large semi market? Will...
It looks like TSM will become an even more dominant player after Intel continues to fall farther and farther behind. I think Samsung since they make their own products cannot compete. It looks like this leaves TSM as the sole source for many fab operations. I don't see any other source with...
Intel has fallen so far behind; its only hope is to compete with TSM where it is weak or doesn't compete at all. The semi market is growing in breadth and depth and competing head-to-head with TSM is impossible in the time frame needed. Any thoughts, comments or additions sought and welcome.
