America vs Everybody: Will The US Win The Chip Race? - Philip Wong | Endgame

[@HyperionLogic]

Professor Wong is one of those rare intellectuals that speaks clearly and able to communicate with normal people. I enjoyed this interview and learned a lot from his ideas.

[@cungcung5042]

This is one of the best source of knowledge on chips & semi conductor in internet. Thank you Prof Philip Wong for sharing his vast knowledge in such simple way. And thank you for digging this out, Pak Gita.

[@stanbimi]

Professor Wong described the recipe for building a successful semiconductor industry, but most countries will never get enough required ingredients: talented engineers, scientists, scale, funding, official support, resources such as electricity and water, work ethics & education culture, market, etc. It's not hard to name which countries have most or all of the critical factors.

[@juhantoon6524]

One thing I can say for certain is China will emerge champion over US in the chip industry or any other fields for few reasons : 1) China has the critical mass market to support any industry. 2) China has very long term industrial master plan which is well thought out, consistent in implementation and well funded. 3) It is in the Chinese blood that the more external pressure is exerted, the better they will emerge. Classic example is Huawei, Space station, Baidou and military assets, EV, Solar panels, Drones etc. 4) May not be the last but the most important is Patriotism of the Chinese people which the US can never have.

[@WinDonX]

Pilihan kita: kirim anak2 muda kita ke org2 spt Prof Philip Wong sbg mentor dan pembimbing atau ke profesor2 kita yg abal2 ? Cara utk meningkatkan kualitas talent kita ya kirim sebanyak-banyaknya anak2 muda kita ke org2 sekaliber Prof Wong. Kalau tidak, ya 2045 kita menyongsong indonesia berkarat.

[@NailaDiandra-q9w]

Akhirnya topik ini dibahas sama pak Gita karena saya sudah menanti menanti kalo pak gita bakal membahas topik ini saya sebagai pelajar yang mengambil jurusan rekayasa perangkat lunak bisa menambah wawasan sedikit demi sedikit di dunia tech and sains. :)

[@luklauw]

We heard it from the professor. To compete, countries need talents and for talents to thrive they need social support. So for Indonesia to be able to have presence in the semiconductor industry, the first thing to do is to prepare our society. We need a society that value STEM more than religiosity, IMHO.

[@wawanhermawan-sz7gl]

indonesia has a herd mentality, it is very dependent on leadership, even religiosity was due to how political situation led it that way (not necessarily by design but more by accident) post-suharto period in early 2000s, so in essence it's "curable" but it needs STEM-aware leaderships

[@AWSOM817]

What Indonesia needs is some real “genius” that easy to like and some true genius that make things easy to understand instead of social climbers that use their knowledge to manipulate. Religion is coping mechanism for most folk, radicals are easy to handle if they lack support(economically+socially). Sadly most Indonesian geniuses either easy to dislike or petty social climbers. And if any were stand out as i mentioned, they get hammered like nails in the plank, either because of jealousy or simply greed, usually by its own peers.

[@andrewlim7751]

[@muhammadirfanislami818]

It is silly to make such dichotomy between STEM and religion. LOL.

[@PahatRout]

@@muhammadirfanislami818 , Why? Generally, it seems there is an abyss between them. If only one accepts religion as a personal relationship between you and Him in your mind; then things would be easier to explain.

[@pedjabrankovic7815]

It is very interesting to notice that China is, in the sense of not strictly tech development, but advancing in thinking, decision making and organisation, exactly at the place where South Korea was back at the beginning of 2000 when they started crossing the barrier of exceptional "me-too" competitor to technological avantgarde. China does it equally well at the level of organisation and developing process, but with one huge difference - quantitative plane. Its overall economy is far more powerful and the raw population is far larger than the Korean ever was. So the results will soon be(and already are to some extent)something kinda Samsung and Hyundai times 5 or more and what is even more important, by jumping over steps they learned from others(something Korea did too, but at far less advanced level back then), China will bring that process at the entire new level.

[@gregwang8628]

Just look at the past forty years, who were leading the US technology development in all fronts? It came from a huge swath of talents from all over the world joining efforts, and now? What a change of heart, it’s the people’s choice, so be it.

[@hazelman1]

Apa yg saya tangkap dari Mr. Wong adalah berkali² beliau menekankan pentingnya kolaborasi agar semua manfaat dari terciptanya chip dapat dinikmati semua orang di dunia. Beliau seolah menyatakan bahwa TSMC memilih untuk berada di jalur tengah. Menekankan, monopoli teknologi oleh suatu negara memiliki lebih banyak keburukan dan kemudaratan, selain tidak mungkin hal tsb terjadi sebab apa yg paling membuat kemungkinan kemajuan teknologi chip terjadi adalah karena kolaborasi itu sendiri. Pemerataan pengetahuan dan akses pada kemajuan teknologi praktis harus dilakukan karena manfaatnya lebih besar untuk kemanusiaan. Pada titik tsb, langsung mengingatkan saya pada sejarah penemuan atomic bomb, dan bagaimana hal tsb membuat satu negara atau satu bangsa cenderung bertindak semena-mena terhadap bangsa lainnya. Untun, hal itu tidak terjadi karena Soviet tak lama kemudian juga berhasil menemukan formula yg tepat untuk atomic bomb mereka. Taiwan, melalui TSMC dan keunggulan rekayasa teknologi foundry mereka di dunia cenderung memilih untuk bersikap netral daripada condong pada satu pihak adikuasa. Saya memberi hormat kepada keputusan Taiwan dan TSMC memilih jalan tersebut. Terima kasih Pak Gita telah menghadirkan podcast yg sangat mencerahkan. 🙏🏻

Superb! Thank you Mr. Wong. Thank you Mr. Wirjawan. Excellent. Best wishes. 🖖🏼

Jadi inget bukunya Chris Miller, Chip War

[@rolandwong9306]

Chris Miller will learn a lot from Gita's interview with Philip Wong. From the usual US zero-sum game approach and cold-war mentality, Miller's approach is narrow thinking. The last part of the interview illustrates why the US attempts to onshore Samsung and TSMC will be like a fish that is to be eaten; they don't know how to fish. They need long-term backing, R and D, government policies, talent development, and economics to support this industry. Intel will swim in its red ink revenue with a customer of one.

@@hitthedeck4115 I don't live in China so I don't know. To be fair, I also don't know which high impact publications in the US are. If the world is split to 2 sphere, US sphere and China sphere, Chinese scientists would be forced to publish within China and that platform will quickly grow. Not to mention China is producing much more patents than US now. Most of them are in Chinese is my guess.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Sebagai masyarakat Indonesia, apakah kita sudah menganggap STEM sebagai suatu 'necessity' dengan harapan dapat melahirkan lebih banyak pemuda yang mampu berpikir dengan metode STEM? Di Indonesia, sering kali cara berpikir yang out of the box dianggap aneh, sehingga kebanyakan orang tua justru mengharapkan anaknya untuk berpikir secara pragmatis. Sederhananya, mengajarkan anak2nya untuk mengumpulkan bekal materi (harta) dan bekal spiritual (pahala).

Philip Wong discusses the semiconductor industry with guest Professor Philip Wong from Stanford University and TSMC. Wong reflects on his upbringing in Hong Kong, emphasizing his family's emphasis on education despite limited means. They delve into the historical and geopolitical factors shaping the semiconductor industry's landscape, particularly TSMC's role in Taiwan's industrial policy and the rise of Asian research capabilities. They explore the implications of AI on innovation speed, the importance of collaboration for technological advancement, and the intertwining of manufacturing and innovation. Wong stresses the necessity of talent cultivation and cross-cultural interaction for sustained progress, highlighting the interconnectedness of policy, education, and innovation in shaping the semiconductor industry's future.

There is another issue nobody dares to talk about. The issue of technical difficulties in the production process. Just take Airbus and Boeing. The production process of every airbus airplane is more that 100 times more complicated than the process of producing an Boeing plane because the airbus is produced in three different countries, UK, France and Germany, all with a completely different language. But why is the Boeing company unable to produce their planes correctly ? The problem is the missing harmony within the workers and their leaders. One company has mastered this issue excellently and this is Munich RE ( reinsurance). In its inner structure it is a sport club. On weekends the CEO plays in a table tennis competition divided to age levels against the door man of the company. Established Fair play within this company shows in great optimal successful cooperation and economic success. It never happens there what you find in all companies that divisions of one sector work against divisions of another sector. There are cases of insolvency because within the company directors were fighting against each other.

All starts with economics. Some countries have implemented the sustainable economy model accidentally, others need to construct it manually. If you do not have appropriate political, society institutions you will not have modern technology. But iyou will not have stable political and society institutions, if you do not have social security. Chine is not an example, it is just a mistake of complicated game between USA and USSR, it will fall soon, no doubts. If you have a stable society, you do not need to built a complex industry. The industry is only 20% of GDP, and it's share is constantly decreasing. The tourists services share is constantly increasing instead. The more wild nature Indonezia will save, the richer nation it will be. This aim contradicts with industrialization, isn't it?
