This guy's metaphor completely and totally breaks down when he begins comparing today's space agencies to China and Portugal of the 15th century. Apollo and the shuttle weren't caravels and galleons. To extend the aquatic met

> Most of the reverse engineering was done by capturing the communication between the dongle and a Windows PC using Wireshark Haha that's pretty cool

It's a really honest description of the attempts to move to neural networks. At least the way it's written it feels like no 'data scientists' were involved, it was all done by data engineers (software developer rather th

Is it possible that organisms could adapt to the extreme environment in space and then get returned to earth with bad consequences for us?

It's much easier to do reverse engineering on programs compiled with old compilers, nowdays compiler are really good at optimizing shit, which means making the assembly code more complex, using new instructions etc...

Ahh this is a new article from 2019. I remember the 2016 Vox video when they were putting in the first Superblocks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZORzsubQA_M Good to see Barcelona is going ahead with the Superblocks. Foun

Reminds me of Coccinelle - a language for writing semantic patches for C (like eg: add close_foo(fooid) in every function that has open_foo for each fooid etc...) , but I see Rascal can do some more.

I remember someone saying something along the lines of “Facebook will try and copy and crush us, but not this time- by the time they work out what’s happening, it’ll be too late”. Facebook seem to have noticed what’s happening and are movin

I have one very old uranium crystalware specimen sitting here - been in family for ages - it's awfully beautiful looking and our deep-blue LED christmas lights actually make it glow eerie. The deeper-blue (indigo) LEDs reach into the w

I wonder how much annually these monopolies collectively spend on lobbying gov against the populist temptation to break them up? Huge sums i assume. Huge. I would first favour opening them up, see how it goes, and then consider alternative

More regulation just makes it more difficult for smaller companies to comply. The giants will just expand their legal departments.

I am likely the odd one out here, but wouldn't having the capability to turbo a single core to, let's say, 5.5 GHz or higher as factory stock be more useful in real life than the one or all eight core turbo to 5 GHz instead of 4.7

The ironic part is that mobile 5G is basically pointless. Fixed 5G could provide competition to cable companies if it actually works, but mobile 5G’s range is so short that anywhere with mobile 5G will be getting several hundred mbps on 4G

My guess: standing by for a last 2019 or 2020 refresh. AMD simply doesn't have to play their full hand right now to be competitive. Going to 16 core on AM4 looks to be trivial on paper since they're already doing 12 core: just a m
