I worked on a similar TI SoC -- with War-and-Peace-sized datasheet. My eyes burned out and brain exploded. Ultimately, another engineer had to take over the project -- or rather TEAM of engineers, of which I did only a part. It's s

Sounds VERY Communist, or Socialist, or some other scary thing. Are you sure it's legal? Why, the AUTHORS and PUBLISHERS are being denied the revenues they would get if you would buy the book; or at least rent it. So, are libraries

Completely agree: tabs FTW. I wish I could find the reference, but when dealing with mono-spaced fonts, readability is apparently enhanced with THREE spaces per indent. Now, good computer people hate non powers-of-two, so it's either

Great, you know what you want to make. Go ahead, and do it. Look at projects previous folks have done, see how then can be adapted for your need. If you are interested in getting this One Amazing Thing working, great! You have the moti

I don't think he's a bozo; but every technology needs a contrarian, to keep the technologists from spinning too much hype.

Mustafa Suleyman says AGI is when a (single) machine can perform every cognitive task better than the best humans. That is significantly different from OpenAIs definition (...when we make enough $$$$$, it's AGI). Suleyman's book

That would be "GI". The "A" part implies, specifically, NOT having a kid, eh?

What is Dark Matter? How to eradicate cancer? How to have world peace? I don't quite see how pattern-matching, alone, can solve questions like these.

Could someone show a legit reason to use 1000-character filenames? Seems to me, when filenames are long like that, they are actually capturing several KEYS that can be easily searched via ls & re's. e.g. 2025-Jan-14-1258.93743_Ex

I would not be at all surprised if some "test mode" allows access to the I/Q signals. Do you have any friends at TI ?

Which open source stacks work with Infineon CYW43439 (used on Pico w and Pico 2W)? I know about BTstack, but apparently NimBLE is not ported to this chip. I'm also curious, of all the available BLE chips, which one has the "most

There already is underutilized spectrum for V2V, Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC), in the 5.9 GHz band -- the lower 45 MHz(5.850-5.895 GHz) for unlicensed uses, such as Wi-Fi, and the upper 30 MHz (5.895-5.925 GHz) for Intelligen

Yes. Beamforming for the receiver, tho, is highly beneficial. MIMO does that for you. The previous poster is correct, the EIRP must not increase when antenna gain does; you have to turn down the wick on the TX.

Yes, antennas are normally measured relative to the theoretical 'isotropic' radiation pattern. Sometimes, dBd is used - gain relative to a dipole. But, even then, you have pattern E and H plane measurements. https://

If we're going to write RustBSD, why not RustMinix -- and get the benefits of microkernel design? Isn't it about time we give up a few percent performance for robustness?
