I am completely spoiled by modern PCB shops. I now view a 6-layer (S-G-S-S-G-S) stackup as the cheap "default". For a lot of my designs 6 layers with ENIG and via-in-pad literally costs ~$2 more per board than 2 layers with no features. You can do PCIe gen3 on a $3 board now!

One of my favorite tariff charts Normally high prices are a sign of strong demand & induce manufacturing investment Tariffs instead give you higher prices & lower investment—the worst of both worlds—because they're a tax on capital goods & supply chains

It's not just a rise in mental illness and a decline of attentional capacity. There is also a set of personality changes that will make it harder for young people to succeed. @jburnmurdoch thinks smartphones and streaming services are likely culprits: ft.com/content/5cd77e…

Normally these kinds of threads are lame. This seems to mostly be an exception:

ICE arrest U.S. citizen in Florida for "looking illegal"—his camera recorded what agents say if they think nobody's listening. Agent 1: "We're going to end up shooting someone." Agent 2: "Just remember, you can smell that with a $30,000 bonus." Agent 1: "Yeah!" (agents laugh)…

Software completely rewrites upgrade system. Magically, hardware that has been upgrading fine for years is now deemed "bad" because it hangs during upgrade. Sure, it's possible there's a latent HW problem, but how not making assumptions without investigating further?

@Carotmanxd1 The single biggest thing is to think through I^2R losses carefully. By sheer coincidence, I just ordered a board a few minutes ago with four separate 30A rails! If you want to carry 35A, you'll get 1.2W of dissipation per mΩ of resistance you use to carry it. Note that the…

About half of the PCB for a design I did a few years ago. I only did a few easy parts of the CAD, we have a dedicated layout person for the hard stuff.

I met an EDA guy on a plane who had a working datasheet-to-symbol tool, thought I'd share IC Lib auto-finds the pinout diagram in a datasheet, you select and extract the pins, then fix any mistakes + export. Great life

Humanity's progress is accelerating insanely fast: Stone Age→Farming: 100,000 yrs Farming→Steam: 12,000 yrs Steam→AI: 200 yrs 2000-2014: 100 years of progress in 14. Moore's Law predicted 32x. AI chips did 1000x. Law of Accelerating Returns is getting weird with AI🧵👇🏻

@ChaskinSaroff @LiorOnAI The issue is the paper is not being communicated accurately. The paper is about (1) open addressing, (2) EXPECTED time. What you're discussing is worst-case time complexity (in the pure form) and hashing more broadly. youtu.be/ArQNyOU1hyE?fe…

Finally, @TaxFoundation - not exactly a bunch of pro-tax lefties - calculates that this $6 trillion monstrosity would not increase long-term national income (GNP) because the economic debt drag would offset any pro-growth tax provisions. (/F) taxfoundation.org/research/all/f…

@wangbangpro That's what we are doing with most inventory right now, but this was a promised promotion to a retail partner and we had to get them in.
