@dogecoin My PC almost finished downloading 56+GB of Doge database and narrowed down the pending from 11+ years to 2 years (2023ish transaction blocks); & then again it is restarted twice or more in the last 12 hours again extending up to 11 years gap! Coincidence?






Everyone in the Semicon industry, everyone at @intel & Analog Devices: Let's find some solid evidence & muck that Narahari Ramanuja was responsible for. Keep linkedin.com/in/nramanuja unemployed for a while... techpowerup.com/340418/intel-l…

@MasterChiefEng @intel @IntelIndia @AMD @AMDRadeon @AMDRyzen @nvidia Mindset, skillsets, back-end (foundry layout) tool options need to loosen a bit. It is condescending to say that Intel or TSMC foundry still tapes out 14A or 7nm silicon with too much trace/metal layout similarity to say Pentium or 4004, 80186, 8051





#GFS #UMC #Samsung From what I know, every electronics/semiconductor company theoretically needs to update 1. every PCB it has designed/produced 2. every chip's internal power distribution, data communication physical layouts need to be updated.

performance,safety improvements. From my side, I would ask companies to prioritize their mass market segments, prioritize employee well being(restrict work hours to 8 hours/day), increase costs/prices of PCBs & digital/analog chips. make profits,pay taxes.

For others who do not understand the 'magnitude' of what this is & it's industry wide implications. I have not searched for any research papers, doctoral thesis in recent times on this subject. This trace layout innovation alone is a few research papers+doctorate degree+$Millions

@TXInstruments #TSMC TI could not drop even a like for my tweet, could not retweet it. However TI teams went on to revise datasheets with 'Trace Corners for improved Signal Integrity'. Don't worry, I'm not taking any 'legal recourse' - that isn't my attitude. Let's discuss $$$


#TSMC I wish to know either publicly or privately regarding this PD implementation. I do not work for any semicon company now. However, this tweet thread was my own personal good will, interest, knowledge that I shared for which I've not got any response,payout or appreciation.

#TSMC Given the prices of Gold, Silver, Copper & other metals & the additional micro/nano-grams required for the full chip now, I suggest additional layout shapes for tracks/junctions should be added to the PD toolkit.

All amendments passed till date(July,2025) would be applicable(effective) from 2009 onwards. For example, "April 29, 2013, CFPB amended regulations" @WhiteHouse @POTUS @USSupremeCourt @SenateGOP @SenateDems en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_CA…
