I was drawn to this essay for other reasons but this is my favourite quotation of Dr Miin Wu, founder of #Macronix, silicon chip manufacturer in #Taiwan: “That is my innovation, my contribution to the world... I was the one who brought the use of #statistics to the #manufacturing process. Working on such a small device, you must control the geometry very precisely... Using #data and statistics, first slowly, then more quickly, we were able to #optimise the devices.”
