Intel Process Technology Update: 10nm Server Products in 1H 2020, 7nm in 2021

Intel’s 7 nm production technology had been in development independently from the 10 nm process and by a different crew, so this one is closer than one might think. The first product to use Intel’s 7 nm process technology will be Intel’s Xe-architecture-based GP-GPU in 2021. While Intel’s first 7 nm product will be launched in 2021, Intel stresses that high-volume manufacturing (HVM) using the technology will begin in 2022 when the technology will be used not only for a server GPU, but also a server CPU.

Chinese Window Lattice and CSS

Chinese Window Lattice and CSS

This is how to use it:

Perhaps because it’s just an experimental property from the very beginning, there’s no way yet to add multiple reflections to an element at once. Although it’s not the exact result we wanted, it’s so exciting to find a way to add multiple reflections. So with the property and the technique described above, we can finally draw those symmetrical window lattices in CSS with very few lines of code.

The word “lox” hasn’t changed in sound or meaning in 8k years

The word “lox” hasn’t changed in sound or meaning in 8k years

“You collect words that mean more or less the same thing in all the languages, and if they look like each other in terms of their pronunciation, then it’s a good candidate for a descendant from a common ancestor.” “What is interesting about the word lox is that it simply happened to consist of sounds that didn’t undergo changes in English and several other daughter languages descended from Proto-Indo-European,” says Guy. The fact that those distantly related Indo-European languages had almost the same pronunciation of a single word meant that the word—and the concept behind it—had most likely existed in the Proto-Indo-European language.

San Francisco bans facial recognition technology by municipal agencies

San Francisco bans facial recognition technology by municipal agencies

SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Tuesday enacted the first ban by a major city on the use of facial recognition technology by police and all other municipal agencies. Police forces across America have begun turning to facial recognition to search for both small-time criminal suspects and perpetrators of mass carnage: authorities used the technology to help identify the gunman in the mass killing at an Annapolis, Md., newspaper in June. But civil liberty groups have expressed unease about the technology’s potential abuse by government amid fears that it may shove the United States in the direction of an overly oppressive surveillance state.

Uber Drivers Are Contractors, Not Employees, Labor Board Says

Uber Drivers Are Contractors, Not Employees, Labor Board Says

The National Labor Relations Board, handing an important victory to Uber, has concluded that the company’s drivers are contractors, not employees. The move, outlined by the board’s general counsel in a memorandum released Tuesday, deals a blow to drivers’ efforts to band together to demand higher pay and better working conditions from Uber and its main rival in the ride-hailing business, Lyft. As a practical matter, the conclusion makes it extremely difficult for Uber drivers to form a union.

Boeing Resisted Pilots Calls for Aggressive Steps on 737 Max Before Latest Crash

Boeing Resisted Pilots Calls for Aggressive Steps on 737 Max Before Latest Crash

Weeks after the first fatal crash of the 737 Max, pilots from American Airlines pressed Boeing executives to work urgently on a fix. In a closed-door meeting, they even argued that Boeing should push authorities to take an emergency measure that would likely result in the grounding of the Max. Mike Sinnett, a vice president at Boeing, acknowledged that the manufacturer was assessing potential design flaws with the plane, including new anti-stall software.

Spinning a Yarn

Spinning a Yarn

Each tartan is different and each family, or clan, can trace its heritage back a thousand years to the particular pattern it’s always worn. One of the most famous Scotsmen, Sir Walter Scott, wrote that the book “sounded like a tartan weaver trying to drum up trade”, and that “the idea of distinguishing clans by tartan is but a fashion of modern date”, and that “no Lowlander ever wore a clan tartan”. Even today, people with Scots ancestry come from all over the world to have their “clan tartan” made into a kilt in Edinburgh.
