This is so much what you would love to be true as opposed to what is actually true. If what you are saying were true, then there would be a causative association between range and sales. So go ahead and plot it out and show that this is the case. You won’t be able to. Turns out that both OEMs and consumers care about lots more things than range.

You are just saying what you would *like* to be the case, but your wishes don’t dictate the way the world works. It’s time to grow up and accept this.

Some understanding of chip making helps. There is a reason people stop at 6 layers or so. Yes, you can stack more. No, it does not make sense to do so.

They will supply each satellite with an ice pack to dump waste heat into. SpaceX will launch regular resupply missions with fresh ice, as necessary.

Owning a modern car? Yes. They all track you and sell your data.

Owning an EV? Complete 180 on reality. Can you make your own gas? Can you get gas at anyone you visit? Gas cars are a ball and chain. They break more often. They catch fire WAY more often. They keep you paying for maintenance that EVs do not need.

I see other responses here assuming you mean charging infrastructure. Download ABRP ("A Better Route Planner") tell it you own some EV which catches your fancy and plot out any trip you like. The infrastructure is there. And wherever you go, you can plug the car into a standard plug and get 30+ miles overnight (most cars get more than that overnight on a 120v socket).

You can drive cross country in an EV and sleep at a rest stop or campground with heat or AC all night (which deals with all your moisture) and that doesn't seriously degrade your range. Your gas car means you need a hotel or idle your car all night, which is dangerous, or you wake up sopping in exhalation moisture.

Your EV means you can camp and have electricity at the same time. You can keep your fridge running during an extended blackout. Your seldom more than a few miles from a 120v outlet, so you can be grossly inconvenienced, but never truly stuck.

The problem is that people search for justifications for fear of change.

You're being made to spend more to get less, on gas cars, and your tax money goes to clean up the mess they make -- health care for asthma, tax breaks to powerful oil companies (this WAY, WAY dwarfs EV and solar and wind subsidies combined), and all that money you've spent on wars for oil.

And EVs are CHEAP. Price a used one on Car Gurus. EVs last longer than gas cars, and 4 year-old ones are fine cars, often sold at 25% of their original value.

Gas cars are what's screwing your freedom. Wake up.

What Samsung does is stack dies on top of each other. What these people here do is a die with more layers. But this is very likely just a stunt that is non-viable for any real use.

Nowhere. This is a meaningless stunt.

It actually is interconnect first, thermals second and then things like clock distribution and power. There always was more space for logic, but that logic could then not be used.

It is _really_ difficult to do more layers. If you have simple interconnect (FLASH or cache chips), you can stack chips, but more layers on a single chip comes with a ton of problems.

This thing here is probably just a stunt and will not be ready for production, ever.

The problem is that it is simply not needed for most folks. The workarounds will likely keep IPv4 alive for at least another 20 years.

Yep. I have a paid-for static IPv4, but I just get a free IPv6 block from my ISP. Not using it though.

OTOH the nice thing about software is that it's easy to update, so anyone is free to replace their slow/inefficient software with a faster/efficient version as soon as they obtain it, at which point their fast hardware should run the efficient software very quickly. Nothing (except possibly bad management decisions?) is preventing anyone from creating efficient software, either.

Defies the thermal limits, probably.

I think bifacial wins in most latitudes now. ISTR that, but could be misremembering.

That's true, but really because local scale ROI is favourable. Grid scale is still weak, it's just that importing diesel to remote / off-grid / high fuel cost regions tips the balance for local regions. But you're right to call this out, because the same is likely true for many other settlements that are very far north or south. However, the Scandi countries are more willing to make social investments and are probably the richest of the high latitude countries, too. So it may take longer in eg Canada.

So basically "bullshit...bullshit...firing people...bullshit....bullshit"? That would fit, agreed.
