There is no way less than 100 pm can make sense.

In the future light may be a possibility, and light is merely a photon, and you can have photons basically follow the same paths in each direction simultaneously without colliding.
So without in any way being an expert, I would think that if light can somehow be controlled precisely enough, that would be a possibility to go way below what any atom can. Even if the paths need to be directed by atoms.
But AFAIK there is not a practical working model for that yet, although research on it has been going on for decades.

AFAIK the smallest usable atom is about 150 picometer carbon, and the smallest amount of atoms theoretically possible to make a transistor is 3, so there is (probably) no way to go below 450 picometer. There is probably also no way to actually achieve 450 picometer which is the same as 0.45 nanometer.
So the idea that they are currently going below 2nm is of course untrue, but IDK what the real measure is?

What they are doing at the leading chip manufacturing factories is amazing, so amazing it’s kind of insane. But it’s not actually 2nm.

Just for info, one silicon/silicium atom is 0.2 nm.

We use a Linux media computer for all our watching, the TV is used as nothing more than a simple monitor. So if our TV does that, jokes on them, because all the metrics they can get is when we turn it on and off and that we watch through HDMI at the TV max resolution. 🤣🤣🤣

I stopped watching traditional TV 25 years ago, 2nd best decision I ever made, after marrying my wife. 😀

I hope Iran will make a 2nd attempt at democracy, and that they will succeed this time.

Apple didn’t do shit except maybe increase the TSMC bottom line.
TSMC continuously made the best most reliable independent process at scale since the iPhone came out, and Apple paid to get the combination of reliability and performance.

In about 2016 TSMC surpassed even Intel because Intel stumbled on their 10nm process. But at the time TSMC passed Intel, Apple was only about 10-15% of TSMC revenue.

At the same Time AMD became a major customer, and Nvidia has also mainly used TSMC apart from a short period where they used Samsung.

The success of TSMC is because of TSMC skill and business tenacity, not because of Apple or any other customer.
Apple basically had 3 places to go, after they asked Intel and Intel said no.
Global foundries, a company already struggling, and tied to supply AMD.
Samsung A company with wearying quality and output in the highest end of their capability.
TSMC A company with years of showing high stability at volume, and the leader on performance for independent production, and with high trustworthiness.

The idea of Apple making their own foundry at the time would have been insane. They simply chose the best as most other high performance high volume chip customers did.

Now TSMC is the undisputed leader, with Samsung and Intel playing catch-up as TSMC now leads in performance, yield and volume production.

Yes smartphones helped TSMC achieve the revenue required, but it wasn’t Apple as a customer that made TSMC into what they are today, TSMC was getting there even before Apple became a major customer.
What really helped TSMC though, was that Intel initially discarded the idea of making the chip for Apple, because Intel saw it as a low profit margin market, which they had no interest in.
So TSMC was helped by the arrogance of the only chip manufacturer that was better than TSMC.

It is the case, they are just not generally saying it out loud.
Germany is participating in all EU programs to curb dependence on USA, and are as active as everybody else in EU.
There’s a lot of holding back regarding saying what they mean, because it’s better for this ugly divorce to happen gradually, and prevent it from getting uglier than it has to be, because EU is not ready to cut ties with USA yet.
But Europe is preparing to not having to take shit from USA anymore. And these preparations are made easier by Trump undermining USA’s economy and political influence globally.
AFAIK after WW2 the US economy was almost a third of the global economy, and now it is only about a fifth. The economic dominance of USA is declining, and with it, the political dominance will decline too, and with declining economy, their military will also decline.
We just have to stop propping the US economy up with continued investments in it. And by we I mean all other countries and especially democracies.

Yes, absolutely uncompromisingly ruthless.

it doesn’t help that Zionist propaganda is literally conflating the two.

Absolutely.

I’m really doubting the existence of independent unbiased sources that measure the actual effect.

I’m not sure the actual effect of what? Antisemitism? Because I think that polled pr4etty regularly.

This one is about Israel:
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/06/03/most-people-across-24-surveyed-countries-have-negative-views-of-israel-and-netanyahu/

This is from UK:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/study-finds-that-one-in-five-british-people-now-holds-antisemitic-views/

I bet that UK piece is reasonably representative of EU too. And the study claims that antisemitism has doubled since 2021!!

That would probably make them more unpopular here.

I can only say that from what I hear on the news, and what I see here on Lemmy, and what I hear from people I know and meet. The picture is the same, Israel is pretty universally hated for their war crimes in Gaza, and to some degree that carries over to non Israeli Jews. I think most people at least here in Europe are beginning to understand that the terrorist attack on Israel, that made this blow up ,was an act of desperation.

I obviously and very specifically was talking about Jews of Israel about those leaving, and not Israelis in general.
The latter part about Arabs hating Jews, that is Jews in general.
I would think the context made that reasonably clear. My comment has nothing to do with any other demographic of Israel.

74% of the Israeli population are Jews.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Israel

This is also at a time where they must know that many places they are not as welcome as they used to be.
Personally I have no issues with Jews outside Israel, because the vast majority of them are clearly against how Israel is handling things in Gaza. But I know people that have great difficulty making that distinction. Especially among Arabs, they almost universally hate the Jews.

USA 🤣 🤣 😜 🤡 👎

Nice to see a robot that doesn’t walk like it has shit its pants. 👍

It was a smart move by Hyundai to buy Boston Dynamics.
This demo compared to Tesla is way more impressive IMO, Tesla is nowhere near this sophistication in their design.

And Putin is guiding him.

Thanks, to bad you removed it again.

I wonder if Putin has put Trump in overdrive, because Putin is panicking?
If Trump/USA invades Greenland it would most likely be the end of NATO, and it would be the end of Europe buying weapons from USA for Ukraine.
USA already had all the access to Greenland they wanted until Trump started this nonsense.
There is no rational reason for Trump to want Greenland, except to destroy NATO! Which he hinted at numerous times already in his first presidency.
From that perspective disrupting Venezuelan oil also makes sense, because China buys oil from Venezuela, without that oil China may have to buy more oil from Russia and pay more than they do currently where China gets Russian oil at a very steep discount.

The actions of Trump seem designed to help Putin, and my guess is that Putin is the designer.

Yes, and that thing is that English is the leading language for international communication, so Russia has plenty people that speak and write English well.

Allegedly they tried to manipulate an election in France too, but the French of the Russian agents was so horrible, that the French could spot it immediately.

Having the international language of choice is a big vulnerability in this situation.
