Header and FCS, interpacket gap, and preamble. What do you think "Ethernet overhead" is?

But software engineering as a concept still isn't writing code. I'm a bit of a stickler about it as somebody who has an engineering degree, but when programmers with a CS degree say they're a software engineer, they're n

No. As somebody who lives in the trenches, I'm not too far behind. I've met people who say they can only do theory and can't do the practical side of this area. I think they might use it derogatorily but anybody who does clea

I work with pretty much everything (except GPUs I guess). Embedded is extremely relative. To some, embedded means a rack mount server that's idk embedded in a vehicle instead of a datacenter. That's not me. To others, embedded mea

I mean idk, I'm living comfortably and as the adage says, not working a day in my life. But if you're at a spot where you need the pay more than you want to write ring buffers, I understand.

Well what I'll say is this: my job never had leetcode. Embedded engineering, especially if you do FPGA work, is very different from what leetcode has. Honestly if recruiters are using it for jobs like mine, they really don't get i

And yet here I sit, writing ring buffers, and never thinking about this idea. Probably because of the power of two issue. Which isn't actually a problem because as he points out, who would do that? But it makes me think that it's

This is computer science. My uni's course number wasn't too different and I remember 3 things worth sharing here: 1. Somebody asked the lecturer what practical application something had. He pondered for a bit, and said "I do

Possibly RDMA over thunderbolt. But for RoCE (RDMA over converged Ethernet) obviously not because it's sitting on top of Ethernet. Now that could still have a higher throughput when you factor in CPU time to run custom protocols that s

This vaguely reminds me of years ago when a friend got hit at an intersection and went to court to fight that he wasn't at fault. I ran the numbers a bit and found that whoever hit him would've been moving at a very high though no

Cost plus I'm not sure on. Maybe if your work was in small enough chunks. But if, did example, just generating one response is too expensive, there's no plus, it's just somebody paid $ for some bits in GPU memory and that&#x2

I think it gets more nebulous. For example, does he only get paid if the tax returns are accepted by the government? If they aren't, he's still put in the work. This becomes an extremely slippery slope. A better example is probabl

Maybe it's not as nice a story there as he's from India, but outside India people like to talk about their cobra problem and failed solution (retold below). This feels like that. If it's a ticket system, it could close them a

A light googlin says estimates are that the SID is maybe 2k transistors. I think a reasonable minimum is in the thousands.

Just remember that often acquisitions don't result in the benefits of the startup with the resources of the incumbent but rather they shut it down, or change its practices, or find other ways to get rid of it. A lot of buyouts are to r

Pro tip: ctrl-f or find in page helps a lot. The author talks about implicit none and shows it in code.

I guess if you select the block and can tell it to only replace within that block, yes. As far as I know VSCode/Theia don't allow that. It's either click replace 20 times, copy/paste to a new file and replace all that wa

It's starting. Some designs are moving towards very wide vector length (1k maybe even 2k?) RV-V cores. So less a giant matrix multiplication unit (I think TI has some parts with what they literally call MMUs, great work guys), more a b

This is good work. I would say that there was very little reverse engineering but that's fine. It's interesting seeing some companies look at ARM's Ethos line as holding them back and others as it pulling them forward. I&#x27

Agreeing that there's a lot of nonsense here and it's a bit painful because there's also seemingly a lot of solid stuff. For example: what does any of this have to do with von Neumann architecture? They didn't say they&#

Excuse you, it's nothing like that. These fake internet points mean something real and tangible. Those fake internet points are just made up nonsense. (Heavy sarcasm)

While true some are hidden, old shows a *lot* more and most of my searches for obscure issues don't yield more viral posts

As a proud member of the LGTV community (yes I'm making 2 of those kinds of jokes back to back, fight me), and an occasional reddit user, I'm both horrified by the notion of getting this update and thrilled people are still using

I tried and cannot. Just keep thinking of it as: if something is doing 2 jobs, split it, if 2 things have the same as they say goes-in-tos and -goes-out-ofs, combine them. And same doesn't mean bit for bit match (though obviously don&#

I have 96GB of 6000 MT/s. Pcpartpicker says 64GB kits have quadrupled in price since August. So I'm almost surprised it's only 50%.

The explanation given makes sense. If they're operating on the same data, especially if the result goes to the same consumer, are they really different services? On the other hand, if the shared service provides different data to each,

Not sure if that counts as lying but I've heard that an ML model (way before all this GPT LLM stuff) learned to classify images based on the text that was written. For an obfuscated example, it learned to read "stop", "a

It's incredibly important to understand that eyes and glass have different optical properties at these wavelengths. It's hard to conceptualize because to us clear is clear, but that's only at visible light. The same way that
