Transistor Radio: Recent Episodes
Doug Dylan
A bi-monthly podcast where we have a short Chip Chat about Transistors! Semiconductors are one of the most fundamental technologies of our time, yet are often under-discussed or misunderstood. We want to chat about them. Come learn some more about Semiconductors!
I am traveling today so I don't have my regular mic. Dylan podcasted from bed, but Doug is in tip top form. In this episode, we talk about overheated semicap, the cracked AI programmers in China, that new Etched chip, and nuclear reactors again
I hope you all had a great Memorial Day. In today's episode we talk Nvidia, time in Europe, and egg farming.
Updated for some desynced audio and normalized the audio levels
