They have that, to some degree. The standard library is mostly optional. Also, a lot of things are 'implementation defined', so you could just not implement those. That leaves quite a small language core.

It doesn't actually say that any more for me on google, I think they removed it at some point when it obviously didn't make sense any more.

No, I don't think it is loaded, or at least not unnecessarily. The communist background of the glass is an important element in the video. Especially when they discuss the fact they couldn't sell it in the west, due to (tendencies of) capitalism.

No, I don't think you can trust AI to answer correctly, ever. I've seen it confidently hallucinate, so I would always check what it says against other, more static, sources. The same if I'm reading from an author who includes a lot of mistakes in his books: I might still find them interesting and usefull, but I will want to double-check the key facts before I quote them to others.

He did not say he wanted to ban images, that is an exaggeration. I see the danger as polluting the historical record with fake images (even as memes/jokes), and spreading wrong preconceptions now backed by real-looking images. This is all under the assumptions there are no bad actors, which makes it even worse. I would say; don't ban it, but you morally just shouldn't do it.

I think this might be a client-side issue, since I can see those letters normally.

Yes, I have a 130W laptop usb-c charger from Delll. It has 20V/6.5A.

While the 168mb is ridiculous, I'm more facinated by the choice to depend on an unimplemented feature from a group/company they had no control over or contracts with. I would hesitate to depend on things which haven't been released for a few months/years. I realize the web moves fast and some might prefer working with new technology, but this sounds so weird to me.

It isn't necessarily, especially if your chip involves some analog or RF design, or must be robust. It is only for increased compute power where the smalles nodes shine

Smaller nodes also do not inherently have better performance for all tasks. They bring performance penalties in some regards, extra costs, and more complexity, which might make something older like 65mm a far better choice

What I miss in this overview is the whole of analog IC design. I get the usual tendency to focus on digital logic (higher volumes, etc), but analog design has a large importance in fields like aviation and defence, for security, communications, radar, etc.

It is also possible for economic reasons like reorganizations, but still, those will need a valid reason, and severence packages are mandatory. Just sacking people who don't have a temporary contract is impossible.

With QAM you're more thinking about the error vector magnitude (EVM), rather then the signal-to-noise ratio. From the EVM you get a bit error rate, which determines maximum sensible data speeds. How high QAM will go is also a strong function of what frequency band: at low frequency, I've seen 512-QAM and higher, while at >100GHz they're struggeling for 32-QAM

Thats's only when applied to things outide twitter, which I don't think it's the case. I have never heard anyone talk about retweeting on facebook or whatever. The fact they don't do this would make their brand even more valuable

Yeah, the difference between manipulating the syntax being the intendend way, and it being possible only through hacking and dark magic is rather stark. It's fun to know that it is basically possible to do though, and I didn't know python had these obscure parts (ast manipulation and codecs)
