Do you have link? I had bookmarked tweet for later reading, now lost them.
Interesting.
BTW if anyone wanna watch the video linked from #4, here’s the link, took me couple of attempts due to uppercase i versus lowercase L: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsLpQnIJviE

I usually deal with that problem by copying the link to Notepad++, where the distinction is quite clear.

Interesting read.
The point about Intel having many units waiting for 14nm capacity to be gradually released to them from CPU/Server business is good one. All those 14nm fabs should be used for other things already.

I feel really sorry for Intel hardware engineers.
A lot of them have finished designs only to have them delayed due to the process they targeted being either not ready, or having no spare capacity.
Many of the products have been delayed so much that they get cancelled. It doesn't make sense to release them anymore as newer designs are ready to take their spot on the queue waiting for capacity.

That's a tweet with an image of part 3 of an article?
I don't understand why people do this. Please just post text.

Twitter is crap for posting text and, frankly, if someone if providing valuable insight that's a photo of a napkin - arguing about the delivery method is just rude. If you want the plain text, OCR that image and post it somewhere.
People do that on Twitter to get around the rule that you can't post anything long enough to be worth talking about.
Isn't the limit still 280 characters?

There is twitlonger for that. But it has the unfortunate side effect of basically being a plain URL, where as images can be read on the site directly.
At some point though someone’s got to understand that the platform is not conducive to sharing longer content. Tweet chains and especially images of text are an accessibility and UX nightmare.
I’m actually getting more annoyed the more I think about it, because I understand why.. but it’s just so wasteful.

Twitter isn't meant for this type of content. If you want to publish an article then do that on a blog and link to it on twitter.
Yes. But posting a link to that content will be engaged with less. It will have a smaller audience, thus, people game the system by posting images of text or tweet chains.
That’s what I’m saying.

All you can do is not support it, one day people might realise that no one is paying attention and there's numerous other options than that horrendous website to say something substantial and have people listen.
We get it! You don't use or like Twitter. Maybe this isn't the discussion thread for you, then.

I think it's easy to see why it happens in this case.
- Presumably, the Twitter user @chiakokhua came across some Chinese text and used DeepL[1] website to translate to English.
- The text is very long (more than 280-char limit of Twitter) and thus it's easier to just screenshot the entire DeepL translation webpage and upload the image. Easy way to bypass the 280-char limit
- he didn't export the DeepL translation and post a link to a HTML webpage of pure text because he probably doesn't have his own website to post it; he's already a Twitter user and has an audience there with ~4000+ followers
tldr: a bunch of little factors contribute to a seemingly insane decision to post screenshots of a translation

Pastebin is a thing.

It's a bit hard to read as is. There are several posts in .png format, each translated to English. There's a bunch of insightful info in them.

How about a plaintext transcription?
More effort than I can be bothered with personally, but you're free to do one. ;)

The idea that Intel's process was able to stay ahead by accepting design rules that were hard to work with was something I'd always heard. That's why their foundry plays, despite the process lead back in the day, never seemed to work out.
It's a big ship, which is hard to turn around. However, I am reminded that General Motors was clearly a shadow of it's former self by the late 1970's, yet it took until the Fiscal Crisis in 2008 for it to actually go bust. When you're that big, you can spiral downwards for a long, long time.
You can see why Apple saw the sinking ship in 2015 and started down the ARM path with all the delays and vulnerabilities.
I'm getting an error message saying "This Tweet is unavailable." Does that mean it's been deleted? (I don't normally use Twitter.)
And if so, is there still some way I can read the content?

I had the image of part three still open so that might work:

Yeah, they're all in the Wayback machine already.
If you have a facebook account, you could start with the link to what is supposedly the original Chinese text, and translate it yourself...

Very interesting set of posts. Part 4 on what Keller did to shake things up was particularly enlightening (and impressive).
I wish there was a part 5 discussing why he left. I've seen lots of speculation but no good inside information.

I've read rumors along the lines of illness, some say him, others say a close relative of his. Even so, these rumors are not really very interesting. I think "illness" crossed the mind of everyone who read the sudden and unexpected announcement of him leaving "for personal reasons".

> Friends, at the request of the original author, I have deleted the thread entitled "What's going on with Intel?" He was not comfortable with the attention it is getting.
