2·3 years agoI’m not sure why people are surprised? Intel pulled off 7nm without EUV. It’s just classic “China stupid, only American company can do that” bullshit.

6·3 years agoAMD’s fabs became Global Foundries, who pulled out of the bleeding-edge node game once it became cost prohibitive to do so with 7nm.

16·3 years agoIntel is still on 7nm. Samsung’s 5nm is basically 7nm+. The fact that SMIC can do 7nm without EUV is insanely impressive.
Intel took years and years of delays to achieve the same thing.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Trudeau government unveils plans to cut $500 million in spending6·3 years agoIf the US continues to destabilize, we’re fucked anyway. Any aid we can provide to Ukraine is going to be us allocating funds to buy American weapons that we then ship off to Ukraine.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Liberal government set to miss 2030 emissions targets, says environment commissioner audit1·3 years agoNone of this solves the methane problem that has a disproportionate and untracked impact on Canada’s emissions.
Consider that 1.2% leakage means that natural gas is equally bad as coal over a 20 year period. Consider then that even the most optimistic estimates for leakage are higher than that. Might as well just burn coal.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Liberal government set to miss 2030 emissions targets, says environment commissioner audit1·3 years agoAnd a good chunk of Canadian emissions (about half) are due to O&G extraction and burning fossil fuels for transportation. It’s a simple problem to solve.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Liberal government set to miss 2030 emissions targets, says environment commissioner audit11·3 years agoThe West’s data is literally, demonstrably false to the point that it’s legitimately harmful to our climate goals. In the short-term, natural gas is indisputably worse than coal, maybe even 2-3x worse. Even in the long-term, natural gas is worse than coal when looking at observed methane leakage rates. The US’ emissions reductions are a fucking lie.
Meanwhile, China hasn’t exactly been hiding that they’re reliant on coal.
Yeah, you’re right about that, my bad.
I was thinking more in terms of the core tech teams - there’s a decent EA presence here as well.

Canada@lemmy.ca•F-35 fighter jet to cost Canada $74 billion, says PBO1·3 years agoThere’s already been a confirmed F-35 damaged by a “bird strike” over Syria… The F-35 was certified against bird strikes to a higher standard than most other American jets. Given the amount of lies coming out of the IDF in the Gaza conflict, I wouldn’t be surprised if the F-35 was targettable by Russian S-200/S-300 systems and the IDF is covering it up to avoid absolutely destroying the international reputation of the F-35.
The problem is, Canadian F-35 operations in the Arctic (really, the only area we have to defend against Russia) would almost certainly require drop tanks. In that scenario, the F-35 is fucked. This is even as F-35 maintenance requires the use of American military contractors that can be weeks or even months away, particularly if we do decide to operate F-35s out of Arctic bases.




good riddance to bad rubbish
