I wonder if Sam of "look mum no computer" fame from YouTube might be interested for his museum ("this museum is not obsolete"). He's shown a fascination with and aptitude for all kinds of old tech, although he does

My team is using OPA in a re-build of an application that we support. One of the main goals of the rebuild is to ensure we don't end up in a situation where every little rule change (including UAM changes) requires a full rebuild&#x2F

It also probably makes it easier to prevent adversaries from being able to delid/reverse engineer products. When using FPGAs you don't even need to have the firmware/gateware on or near device until it's in use, which w

Another possibility: a naming conflict with, and potential confusion around the already existing Python serialisation library 'pickle'?

I was wondering whether anyone would point out the Python pickle, which is often used for saving trained ML models in .pkl files. I mean, at this point almost every memorable 3 letter file extension probably already has some claim to it, bu

French cooking YouTuber, Alex, has a series [1] where he goes deep on this topic. If anyone is interested in the intricacies of why high end dried pasta is so special and hard to replicate, I'd highly recommend checking his series o

What if investing in AI tech like LLMs eventually allows knowledge workers to be more productive with fewer resources, and therefore ultimately frees up more people to focus on the so-called major problems? Maybe we can invest more human ho

Unless that person's writing style just happens to be very close to how the average human writes? If it's 0.01% for "any given human", I wonder what the numbers would look like for a human closer to average than usual?

I have a car with auto braking. It's never prevented an accident but has nearly caused a few. When exiting onto a cambered road, it senses the slope of the road in front of the car as being an object that it thinks I'm about to h

Pure (eg. Distilled) water isn't a very good conductor at all. It's only when you add contaminant ions that it starts to conduct electricity in any meaningful sense. Most people's experience with water rapidly destroying ele

As a society we seem far too willing to accept and deal with companies that make surplus profit by ignoring or obfuscating the unbounded negative externalities of what they're doing (at least until legislation catches up, by which poin

Layoffs usually occur within the wider context of a more cost constrained/austere environment. Essentially the high performers understand that they'll be expected to do more with less (people, resources, benefits, ...). Likely the

Sounds exciting, but also a little scary. I'm imagining a biological variant of eg. Verilog or VHDL, as this seems like the kind of domain where tools that allow for formal verification would be highly desirable.

The 4am start time kind of makes it sound like a scheduled change gone wrong. Maybe so wrong that they lost access to the control plane and needed to send engineers on-site to fix? I think if it had been malicious we would have heard abou
