Editor's take: I have been writing about custom ASICs for many years. At one point, it became clear that some non-chip companies had grown large enough that designing their own chips made more sense than buying merchant silicon. For a time, it seemed like "everyone" was taking this path. We identified over 100 companies developing their own silicon, spanning smartphones, cars, and Wi-Fi access routers. That said, technology moves in cycles, and we may now be approaching the apex of this particul

It can be tempting to assume that your intuitions about three-dimensional space carry over to higher-dimensional realms.
