Piggybacking on this post:

If you want to go into the HW/semiconductor industry you will be looking for the job title Formal Verification Engineer.

Pay is not as good as the SW industry, but still good.

Demand as jaykru says is exceptional.

They offer productivity. Commercial tools have simulation speed and a half decent visual debugger for example. The bar is not that high, but Icarus is behind in these two areas

The last coal plant in Denmark will be retired in 2028.

Current regulation requires large district heating to produce electricity (which is no longer economical due to abundance of cheap wind power) and this delays the conversion of the last coal plant.

Rural areas are neither economical nor convenient for public transportation.

I’m a Dane, I have leased a 24kwh BEV a few years ago. The charging infrastructure is fine and it is getting better. Denmark is not that big. I had a 30km commute each way. I live in an apartment, so that means public charging, which was no problem. I got 99 km at 110km/h on a full charge which means a 60 kwh battery will take me between the two furthest points in Denmark on two quick charges.

The only parts that sucks about BEVs is that you can’t have a trailer attached and the price.

As I see it, this is just a network on interposer instead of a network on chip (NoC). NoCs have simple rules for routing that also prevent deadlocks, so I am not sure that the idea here is that significant. The active interposer is a quite new idea. I haven’t followed it. Maybe the journalist found the rules more exiting than the active interposer idea.

Either way, the research is one of the many small steps forward to better chips.

I don’t see any of the these competing with Uber/Lyft. They may be suppliers. Where is the conflict?

Can you affect the number and size of AWS instances that a company needs? As Patrick said on twitter the other day. If you can optimize the use of AWS for a company that has 3k instances, you can make the company boatloads of money in reduced server cost.

I am new to this VPC thing. Is there an overview that explains why I want it and how it works?
