@DosFox it’s Solo, a cancelled Transmeta SoC, which paired a Crusoe with peripherals including a graphics adapter. Alas, before we got it back Microsoft raised the Windows graphics requirements rendering it nonviable. A pair of energetic souls did bring it up to a Windows desktop, but that was the end of Solo. So tragic. (A check from Donald Knuth is photo bombing the corner)

Integrated circuits, chips, and silicon... Yesterday I was on site at a client’s headquarters, and the owner asked me a question that took me completely by surprise. He asked, “How are ICs and chips related? What does one have to do with the other? And where does silicon fit in?”

As a college professor, through painful experience, I developed a concept I call the Common Body of Knowledge. The Common Body of Knowledge includes those things my students will already know when they attend class. I don’t have to teach these things. For example, when explaining this to my students, I’ll ask, “What is the name of the ocean on the east coast of the USA?” My students just sit there, and I have to encourage them by saying, “It’s not a trick question. The answer is as easy as you think it is. I’m trying to teach you a concept, and this illustration will help.” Finally, one or two brave souls will say, “The Atlantic.”

“Yes! That’s it! You see, that’s in the Common Body of Knowledge. Now, here’s the problem I run into as your instructor: sometimes, I’ve known something for so long that I just assume it’s in the Common Body of Knowledge. But it actually isn’t. Someone had to teach me this ‘thing,’ somewhere in my distant past. I’ve known it so long I don’t even remember learning it. Now, during class, I may casually mention something like everyone knows it, and I’ll just go on to the next thing. I’m counting on you to stop me. Raise your hand. Ask the question. Because if you don’t know what I just said, there’s a very good chance that some other people in the class don’t know, either.”

I look around the class, and make eye contact with as many students as possible. “I want you to be the brave one. Ask the question. That’s how I will learn that something I said is NOT in the Common Body of Knowledge, and I need to back up and add it to the class session.”

Now, back to the opening of this post. My client was hearing things in the news, and asked me to explain chips, ICs, and silicon. I had no idea this wasn’t in the Common Body of Knowledge, but it’s not. People have to learn it.

Here now, for you, is a brief explanation.

SILICON
Silicon is a special element with remarkable chemical properties. It doesn’t conduct electricity easily, like gold or copper. But it’s also not an insulator, like rubber or pure water. Silicon is a semiconductor. We can make it conduct electricity, or stop conducting electricity, by mixing silicon with other chemicals and applying various voltages to it. This is the heart of all electronic parts now. Conducting or not conducting. On or off. One and zero.

CHIP
Through a complex manufacturing process, we combine a bunch of these little on/off junctions on a very tiny piece of silicon. This piece of silicon is a flat “chip” of a silicon rock.

INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
Infinitesimal gold wires are attached to various points on the chip to apply voltages. The tiny gold wires then connect to larger metal pins that can be attached in various ways to a circuit board. The assembly of the chip, the gold wires, and the pins is enclosed in a plastic or ceramic housing. This package is rugged enough to be shipped and sold as an integrated circuit, or IC.

SLANG USAGE
The terms “chips” and “ICs” are used so interchangeably that you can now forget everything I said about a distinction between the two. The little piece of silicon is an integrated circuit. The entire package is a chip. There is no problem with using either term in common conversation.

SUPPLY CHAIN THREAT
Question: who controls the design and manufacture of the chips? It’s possible for a malicious manufacturer to put extra circuitry in the package to do whatever they want it to do. This is why the manufacture of silicon integrated circuits is so important. You should buy chips from “friendly” manufacturers you can trust.

I hope this helps you understand what you’re reading in the financial news about the sourcing and manufacturing of electronics parts.

@maikel basically, it boils down to the few key features of #Monero:

1. #Anonymity & #Privacy: Unlike with any other #cryptocurrency (aka. #Shitcoins) it's not just pseudonymous in that there is no mandatory linkage between individuals & their wallets, but the entire transaction history and balance is hidden. Unlike say #Bitcoin or #Ethereum one cannot track the coins from the moment of mining to their destination.

2. Speed: Monero's network does mine one block every 2 minutes. After 10 blocks any transfered balance gets unlocked for spending. That means that a transfer is completed at worst within 6 minutes and the balance is being unlocked at worst after 24 minutes. This makes it faster than Instant-#SEPA which only has a 1 hour SLA.

3. #Fungibility: Like #cash all it's coins are equal, since they cannot be tracked. This makes Monero the digital equivalent of cash.

4. #Scalability & #Stability: Monero adaptively self-adjusts block sizes and mining difficulty based upon demand (transactions in it's mempool aka. requested transactions that have to be added to the blockchain) and supply (total blockchain hashrate). Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum it has a fixed Tail Emission Rate of at least 0,6 #XMR (Monero) per block, so the miners solving it get at least 0,6 XMR (+ transaction fees), which is a longterm stable rate. Bitcoin and Ethereum will necessitate huge transfer fees once their last coins are mined to make sense, which will result in the crash of said cryptocurrencies as they'll be too expensive to trade!

5. Anti-#ASIC and focussed on #CPU|s of general-purpose machines: Whilst it does run on #ProofOfWork, it's specifically designed to run poorly on #GPU|s and not on #ASICs as the latter one are not just manufactured #eWaste but also inherently increase the centralization (with less than a dozen big miners controlling >50% of Bitcoin and Ethereum's hashrate respectably). Thus it's the "least worst" in that regard. #ProofOfStake is not possible due to it's privacy-based setup (#Staking necessitates a public balance) and unlike a #Shitcoin like #FileCoin it doesn't incentivize #hoarding components. (in this case: #HDD|s)

6. Accepted & Convertable: Whilst there is a concerted effort to ban Monero, there are payment processors like #NowPayments that accept Monero. It's low transaction fees and good speed make it useable in settings like Restaurants and Online Stores (sadly not retail, because it would need to be like 60x faster)... And even then it's easy to convert to/from Shitcoins.

That's the #TLDW of Whiteboard Crypto, Mental Outlaw and The Hated One…

And finally:

7. Monero gets continously developed and enhanced, whereas Bitcoin, #Litecoin and Ethereum don't even do proper #upgrades via #HardForks (see #EthereumClassic)...

@tante "#AI" is such a level of "#WastefulComputing" that it makes #CryptocurrencyMining look like an act of #EnergyConservation and #EnvoirmentalProtection by comparison.

Not that it doesn't make #Shitcoin-#Mining any less unethical and wrong!

Will ASICs replace NVIDIA GPUs?
kocka.news/en/article/hardware

kocka.news · Will ASICs replace NVIDIA GPUs?The development of artificial intelligence over the past decade has been closely linked to the name NVIDIA, which has become the dominant player in the market with its graphics processing units (GPUs). A significant portion of today's AI models are built on these GPUs, and NVIDIA's decade-old software ecosystem—especially the CUDA platform—has become an indispensable tool for research, development, and industrial applications. At the same time, in recent years, the biggest players in the technology sector – including Google, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft – have been turning with increasing momentum toward AI chips developed in-house and optimized for specific tasks, known as ASICs.

Elsöpri e az ASIC az NVIDIA GPU-kat, hová vezet a mesterséges intelligencia chipforradalma?
kocka.news/hu/article/hardver/

kocka.news · Elsöpri e az ASIC az NVIDIA GPU-kat, hová vezet a mesterséges intelligencia chipforradalma?A mesterséges intelligencia fejlődése az elmúlt évtizedben szorosan összefonódott az NVIDIA nevű vállalat nevével, amely grafikus processzorai (GPU) révén a piac domináns szereplőjévé vált. A mai AI-modellek jelentős része ezekre a GPU-kra épül, és az NVIDIA évtizedes szoftveres ökoszisztémája – különösen a CUDA platform – nélkülözhetetlen eszköze lett a kutatásnak, fejlesztésnek és ipari alkalmazásnak. Ugyanakkor az elmúlt néhány évben a technológiai szektor legnagyobb szereplői – köztük a Google, az Amazon, a Meta és a Microsoft – egyre nagyobb lendülettel fordulnak saját fejlesztésű, célzott feladatokra optimalizált AI-chipek, az úgynevezett ASIC-ek felé.
