A bit of positivity starting to creep in here. Tony will have to knock this on the head
Youāre one negative cunt all the same.
The most senior doctor in the country wants us worried. Iām just doing my bit
Youāre doing something alright.
Positivity rate at 5-6% still not perfect. We were probably at 3-4% last year including PCR mishaps.
Close contacts creeping up again, diminishing returns territory incoming. Nice spring where in 4 to 6 weeks should do the trick.
the law of diminishing returns
thats what drives gate length scaling in transistors

Mooreās Law?
well mooreās law was what the industry tried to adhere to ( as in every 18 months the minimum feature of a transistor as in the gate length will reduce by a factor of 0.7 to increase the density of devices on the chip ) but the law of diminishing returns is what ultimately drives the need to scale as ultimately computing power tapers off
I have a handly slide on that somehere i had at IEDM there a few years back
id say conventional scaling ended around 2009 at 22nm when TSMC started manufacturing a tri metal gate device, samsung have one of those multi bridge channel mosfets now with a 3nm gate and after that we are down at atomic levels with one of those multi bridge channel mosfets
we should really get a seperate thread going on this
so we went
conventional mosfet
90nm 2002
65nm 2004
45 nm 2007
32 nm 2009
TRI metal gate FET
22nm 2010
14nm 2014
10 nm 2019
7nm TSMC 2021
5nm TSMC 2022
now we have problemsā¦ i think its a multi bridge channel mosfet
3nm samsung TD
2nm 2025?
sub nmā¦ gate all around, structures maybe

Mee-hawl said we will be able to meet up outside in the summertime.
Ryan had rebuffed him with this
very disingenuous description of Australia
Thatās such a disingenous answer. As new variants will be new - vaccines will never be āstaying ahead of themā. Similarly there is no such thing as āerror free testingā - sensitivity/specificity occurs in all. Essentially what heās saying is we can open up when we reach unattainable perfection.
Itās absolutely weird that a non-expert like him gets such airtime.

Spot on.
How can a vaccine possibly stay ahead of a variant?
