Wondering if every wordplay is a dad joke or not? Some wordplays might be so dark that dads should never tell them to their kids. I'm not that familiar with English culture, there is no "dad joke" in my culture.

[@Wise4HarvestTime]

​@@camelCaseddad jokes are low hanging fruit. mildly funny and child friendly jokes. "I have so many dad jokes I need to keep them in a dadabase.". Or why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 789.... 7 ate 9.

Cant wait to see consumer chips like that in 28 years

[@user-md7bx6rb8i]

I’m not tired of hearing about these potential breakthrough’s or any. I appreciate Anastasi explaining it so thoroughly. Face it, They have been talking about flying cars becoming a reality since the 70’s. Still waiting. Sometimes you just have to be patient. (Update - 1 week since original, reply post) I just read-China now has a autonomous flying taxi, able to carry 2 passengers at a time. It has been certified by the government and is now in service. So, I guess the wait is over.

[@joeeyaura]

graphene isnt a flying car.. we're not getting flying cars

[@JustSomeDinosaurPerson]

Flying cars aren't really practical for many reasons and introduce a whole host of liability problems, which is why we don't have them. Photonics, epigraphene chips, etc on the other hand are entirely practical and propose very few issues. Certainly none on the same level as worrying about a flying car breaking down and turning into a terminal projectile that smashes into your neighborhood and kills a family.

[@user-md7bx6rb8i]

Exactly what they said about self driving car’s. 10 year’s ago.

[@IRQ1Conflict]

We do have flying cars. There just isn't the infrastructure for them. They are better suited to rural areas.

[@jdanci91]

This microchips need to be for whole world so the need to build in qantie and it need to work for the people but what if we can make something like bigger more power and if we master that we make it smaller like in 1970 with the 500mb computer that was looding from the plane😂😂🤔🤔

I was expecting ultra-low-quality content-farm material when I clicked this video, due to the click-baity title, unfamiliarity with the channel, and of course how frequently "massive breakthroughs" in tech get hyped. But, I'm only 2 minutes in, and the quality of the information presentation shows I was very wrong. From the other comments, I sense that you (Anastasi) might've expressed uncertainty about audience interest, and level of technical detail. I'll agree with everyone else.. this is perfect, keep going. Thank you for your work.

I worked in the very first wafer fab for Motorola in Austin, Texas, back when 1 micron processes were considered 'state of the art'. I'm about to retire from the industry but it's been so interesting to watch the evolution of technology over the last 3 decades.

[@xXxKingProductionxXx]

Did you hang around for the Freescale/NXP acquisition?

[@stevenwright8891]

I started programming in the mid 70's and retired a few years ago. I went from micro-programming CPUs through many, many languages to be able to accomplish what nobody had even thought of less than a generation prior. Not to mention I had the privilege of working on the Cassini project at Jet Propulsion Lab. I think I was very lucky to participate in during the founding years of information technology. Even though it was a hell of a lot of work.

[@antimatter314]

Did you have to change anything with regards to time dilation?

[@61Marsh]

I love the details. Anyone can do a general overview, but hearing about why it's important from a chip engineers technical perspective is much more interesting.

Excellent video, thx. The details are appreciated and your clear explanations make it accessible for those with differing knowledge backgrounds.

[@JoeyBlogs007]

Introducing foreign atoms (doping) into the graphene lattice can alter its electronic properties. For example, nitrogen or boron doping can create a bandgap in graphene, turning it into a semiconductor.

The way this popped up in my feed was WILD! I just finished watching "Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LED" video and it explained semi-conductors, doping, and growing crystals off of a substrate PERFECTLY (I highly recommend watching that video, it was fascinating!) So when you were explaining the same processes in this video, I feel like I had a cheat code and already knew so so so much about the topic where as before, I would have been lost. This is such cool, exciting new technology! Thanks for the video!

[@daffyduck4195]

The inventor of blue LED made it possible to get white LED brighter, I recall. Brighter white light LED has really changed society. The inventor of brighter LED should be given the Nobel prize, in my opinion.

@afreezaphorogiancossack2194 the 560 uses a YM3812 chip and that is the same chip used in the original sound blaster. It could produce 9 channels of sound at once plus a frequency range over 49000hz.

[@craigmuranaka8016]

I may be wrong but I think at 10ghz the signals exit the chip and become radio through the air, and the chips would have to be cooled by liquid nitrogen to keep from catching fire 🔥
