Secretive Giant TSMC’s $100 Billion Plan To Fix The Chip Shortage
Posted by Derick Lee in categories: military, mobile phones, supercomputing
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company makes 24% of all the world’s chips, and 92% of the most advanced ones found in today’s iPhones, fighter jets and supercomputers. Now TSMC is building America’s first 5-nanometer fabrication plant, hoping to reverse a decades-long trend of the U.S. losing chip manufacturing to Asia. CNBC got an exclusive tour of the $12 billion fab that will start production in 2024.

Facebook is planning to rebrand the company with a new name
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in categories: augmented reality, mobile phones
The tech giant wants to be known for more than social media’s ills.
Facebook is planning to change its company name next week to reflect its focus on building the metaverse, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter.
The coming name change, which CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to talk about at the company’s annual Connect conference on October 28th, but could unveil sooner, is meant to signal the tech giant’s ambition to be known for more than social media and all the ills that entail. The rebrand would likely position the blue Facebook app as one of many products under a parent company overseeing groups like Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus, and more. A spokesperson for Facebook declined to comment for this story.

Embodied intelligence via learning and evolution
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in categories: evolution, physics
The authors present a high-resolution palaeomagnetic record for a Late Cretaceous limestone in Italy. They claim that their record robustly shows a ~12° true polar wander oscillation between 86 and 78 Ma, with the greatest excursion at 84–82 Ma.
The authors propose a new framework, deep evolutionary reinforcement learning, evolves agents with diverse morphologies to learn hard locomotion and manipulation tasks in complex environments, and reveals insights into relations between environmental physics, embodied intelligence, and the evolution of rapid learning.

SpaceX shows off its ‘Gateway to Mars’ for Starship launches in video
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: space travel
SpaceX is hoping to launch its first orbital Starship test flight in the next few months from its Starbase facility in Texas and a new video captures the company’s work so far on the massive rocket.
The 90-second montage, which SpaceX showed off on Twitter, offers views of the company’s massive Starship spacecraft being wheeled to the launch pad, taking off, performing complex flips and then landing safely on the ground. You also catch a glimpse of Earth from up high.

NASA finds first ever planet outside our galaxy
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: space
A NASA telescope might have found the first ever planet outside of our own Milky Way galaxy.
If confirmed, the world would be thousands of times further away than the many exoplanets we have found in our own galaxy so far.
Scientists were able to do so using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, using techniques that could allow for the search for other worlds to dramatically the amount of space it is able to scan.
