For Christo­pher Schwarz, Amer­i­can anar­chism isn’t “about bombs and leather jack­ets; it’s about being an inde­pen­dent design­er.” It’s about work­ing out­side “mas­sive and dehu­man­iz­ing insti­tu­tions” (like cor­po­ra­tions) and design­ing beau­ti­ful objects that last. He writes: “As a design­er of books, tools and fur­ni­ture, I have zero desire to make things that are intend­ed from the get-go to fall apart.” Based in Cov­ing­ton, Ken­tucky, Schwarz runs a small wood­work­ing busi­ness where he hand­crafts beau­ti­ful tables, chairs and oth­er pieces of fur­ni­ture. He also runs Lost Art Press, which pub­lish­es books like The Anarchist’s Tool Chest, The Anarchist’s Design Book, The Anarchist’s Work­bench, and oth­er titles.

His “Anar­chist” series of books “rep­re­sent a 10-year effort to make wood­work­ing more acces­si­ble, afford­able and eth­i­cal – and less com­mer­cial.” Typ­i­cal­ly the print edi­tions run $30-$54. But, to the delight of many fel­low wood­work­ers, Schwarz has made sev­er­al edi­tions avail­able as free dig­i­tal down­loads. This includes (as of this week) The Anarchist’s Tool Chest, which “shows you how you can build fur­ni­ture with only a small kit of high-qual­i­ty tools. The first half of the book explains in detail how to choose the right tools… The sec­ond half of the book shows you how to build a tra­di­tion­al tool chest to hold these tools.” To find a com­plete list of books avail­able as free down­loads, see the list below.

 


10 Essential Open Access (OA) Books on Climate Change

Climate Crisis Economics

By Stuart P. M. Mackintosh

There’s no single solution to dealing with climate change. To fight it, economies, policies, business, and personal practices must align. Plus, leaders must shift how they talk and think about climate change.

In Climate Crisis Economics, Dr. Stuart Mackintosh examines the approaches that political and business communities are taking to decarbonize the economy.

The book looks at the policies, practices, and narratives empowering states and citizens as they pursue the carbon-neutral goal, with local and national examples.

Importantly, it sets out a climate crisis economics approach that could help society achieve key climate change goals in the decades ahead.

India’s $15.2 Billion Semiconductor Leap

The Indian government has taken a significant step towards becoming self-reliant in semiconductor production by approving the establishment of three semiconductor fabrication units. This approval, announced on February 29, involves an investment of Rs 1.26 lakh crore (approximately $15.2 billion). Let’s celebrate this technological leap! 🎉🇮🇳

Establishing semiconductor fabrication units within India can significantly boost the country’s economy.

Currently, India heavily relies on imported semiconductors for its electronics industry. By producing chips domestically, India can reduce its import bill and strengthen its trade balance. With local production, India can export semiconductors to other countries, contributing to foreign exchange earnings.

A robust semiconductor industry ensures a stable supply chain for various sectors like consumer electronics, automotive, and telecommunications. This resilience is crucial for economic growth. India’s move toward self-reliance in semiconductor manufacturing aligns with the broader vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India). Additionally, reducing dependence on foreign suppliers enhances India’s strategic autonomy.

Self-reliance leads to job opportunities across the value chain, from research and development to manufacturing and distribution. The semiconductor industry is labor-intensive and requires skilled workers. Setting up fabrication units will create jobs in various domains:

Scientists, engineers, and researchers will work on cutting-edge technologies. A thriving semiconductor industry has a multiplier effect on related sectors like Electronics Manufacturing, Startups and Entrepreneurship.

Details of the approved establishments:

Semiconductor Fab with 50,000 wfsm (wafer starts per month) capacity in Gujarat:

  • Location: Dholera, Gujarat.
  • Investment: Rs. 91,000 crore.
  • Technology Partner: Tata Electronics Private Limited (TEPL) in collaboration with Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp (PSMC) from Taiwan.
  • Capacity: 50,000 wafer starts per month (WSPM).
  • Segments Covered:
    • High-performance compute chips with 28 nm technology.
    • Power management chips for electric vehicles (EVs), telecom, defense, automotive, consumer electronics, display, and power electronics.
  • Significance: This fab aims to bolster India’s semiconductor ecosystem and reduce import dependency 

Semiconductor ATMP (Assembly Testing, Marking and Packaging) unit for specialized chips in Gujarat:

  • Location: Sanand, Gujarat.
  • Investment: Rs. 7,600 crore.
  • Technology Partner: CG Power, in partnership with Renesas Electronics Corporation (Japan) and Stars Microelectronics (Thailand).
  • Segments Covered: Manufacturing chips for consumer, industrial, automotive, and power applications.
  • Capacity: 15 million units per day.
  • Strategic Importance: Strengthening India’s position in specialized chip production
Semiconductor ATMP (Assembly Testing, Marking and Packaging) unit in Assam:

  • Location: Morigaon, Assam.
  • Investment: Rs. 27,000 crore.
  • Technology: Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Test Pvt Ltd (TSAT) is developing indigenous advanced semiconductor packaging technologies, including flip chip and ISIP (integrated system in package) technologies.
  • Capacity: 48 million units per day.
  • Segments Covered: Automotive, electric vehicles, consumer electronics, telecom, and mobile phones.
  • Objective: Enhance domestic semiconductor assembly and testing capabilities 

All the above establishments are expected to start construction in the next 100 days

Intel spins out a new enterprise-focused GenAI software company

Intel has announced the launch of a new enterprise-focused generative AI software company called GenAI Technologies. The company, which is a spin-out of Intel’s AI Lab, aims to provide end-to-end solutions for businesses to leverage the power of generative AI models.

GenAI Technologies will offer a suite of products and services that enable enterprises to create, deploy, and manage generative AI applications across various domains, such as content creation, data augmentation, personalization, and optimization. The company will also provide consulting, training, and support for customers to adopt and scale generative AI in their workflows.

According to Intel, generative AI is a game-changing technology that can unlock new levels of productivity, creativity, and innovation for enterprises. Generative AI models can learn from data and generate novel outputs, such as images, text, audio, or video, that are relevant, realistic, and diverse. This can help businesses solve complex problems, enhance customer experiences, and generate new value.

Intel’s AI Lab has been a pioneer in the field of generative AI, developing and open-sourcing several state-of-the-art models, such as BigGAN, StyleGAN, and WaveGAN. The lab has also collaborated with leading academic and industry partners, such as MIT, Stanford, and Adobe, to advance the research and applications of generative AI.

GenAI Technologies will leverage Intel’s expertise, resources, and network to deliver cutting-edge generative AI solutions to the enterprise market. The company will also continue to contribute to the open-source community and foster collaboration with other generative AI innovators.

The new company will be led by Dr. Jason Knight, who was previously the director of Intel’s AI Lab and a co-founder of Nervana Systems, a deep learning startup that Intel acquired in 2016. Dr. Knight said that he is excited to lead GenAI Technologies and help enterprises harness the potential of generative AI.

“Generative AI is the next frontier of artificial intelligence, and we believe it will transform every industry and domain. With GenAI Technologies, we are bringing the best of Intel’s AI research and innovation to the enterprise market, and empowering businesses to create, deploy, and manage generative AI applications at scale. We are thrilled to embark on this journey and make generative AI accessible and impactful for enterprises around the world,” Dr. Knight said.

GenAI Technologies will operate as an independent entity, with Intel as its majority shareholder and strategic partner. The company will be based in San Francisco, California, and will have offices in New York, London, and Bangalore. The company will launch its website and products in the first quarter of 2024.
