Maui Onion Kettle Chips rule over other crunchy snacks.

This adds quite a nice bit of context to why Taiwan is so important. TSMC in the hands of China would be a disaster for the rest of the world.

It also highlights why outsourcing and globalization is such a detriment to the USA. If we did all of this here, we would be far better off. Crippling our own manufacturing sector makes us weaker in times of war. We would have to go through the bootstrapping phase again which is a ton of lead time on getting actual useful products out the door.

If it was easy niggers would do it.

Taiwan has been the center of the electronics industry since the 80s when places like TI and other US corps moved there.

It would be a good thing for the USA to take over Taiwan in the long run because it would force a lot of this manufacturing to return to the USA.

Assuming we don't simply let it happen and let them collapse the USA using their agents in this country like Xiden.

Making chips isn't "hard", machines do everything. I think what they mean is that the manufacturing process always creates flaws in the substrate. Depending on the physical size of the die determines how many flaws you will find on the die. Larger dies will obviously have more flaws on them. Therefore, the yield will be lower. Smaller dies will have fewer flaws, so your yield will be higher. As the circuits shrink, the number of flaws increase.

Why don't you just watch the video? It's quite good. The "hard" part is that the machines are incredibly expensive, cutting edge, a consolidated into a handful of companies.

Not entirely true as I worked on designing machines that did large 9" wafers years ago that were used to make memory chips and they used larger features than GPUs and CPUs of the time and had less flaws per die than those wafers.

The biggest limitation to the future is the ISAs are all written for 2-Dimensional considerations. Once the industry breaks that mental block, it could really take off. Imagine an ISA written with 4-Dimensional crystallization as the most basic assumption of architecture. It might sound crazy, but chemical engineering supports 4d crystal architecture better than 2-D schematics.

The efficiency of everything goes up exponentially when jumping from 2D to 4D and would make Moore’s law look like a quaint footnote of history.

So... that's a curry nigger that's almost white. Is that what I'm supposed to get from that?
