Yeah, every time I hear something like that I giggle. AI might replace us one day, but it's no where near good enough yet.

That's just double speak at this point. We've always been at war with easteasia.

That's just moving the goal posts. These f'ers don't want anyone to vote or have rights, unless they're benefiting. They'll be super fiscally conservative and complain how expensive this would be if Dems start pushing it.

They're the party of "fuck you, got mine." That's it's there are no other salient principles for them.

900 pages... I mean, that's a lot for a poorly run project...

From where do the gentleman's statement gain their credibility. Site your sources, please. We are having an argument on the internet folks, the consequences are dire.

This is Saturday night and this is staring to remind me of Monday morning meetings.

Have an nice weekend.

Metal whiskering is a phenomenon that occurs in electrical devices when metals form long whisker-like projections over time.

That's what the article says. EM is a subset of metal whiskering. It's not a similar thing, it's an example of it.

You got a degree in semi conductor physics? Lol

Like i told the other guy, you're being pedantic. Engineers will call all these things whiskers. And I just mentioned I deal with one of them in my work. I'm not saying the photo in the thumbnail is an example of electromigration.

You're misunderstanding me.

For instance, electrons always move the same speed in a given metal. Which of couse isn't even 'true' because temperature affects mobility.

There are multiple mechanisms for metal to migrate, grow whiskers, or whatever you like to call the individual growth on an object. I mentioned that in the case if ICs, we are concerned with one we call electromigration. I'm not saying all metal migration is due to electromigration.

You're being pedantic when all I'm saying is, I deal with these sorts of concerns in my job.

Well that makes sense lol. Right over my head.

Really? Why? Too much radio play in the 90s?

Electromigration in ICs typically occurs in metal interconnect, so there are no dopants there to move. Dopants are added to the silicon substrate.

This is like saying an SUV isn't a car.

OP: Look at my car

Me: I have one too. It's an SUV

You: SUV's aren't cars.
