I think there are basically single instruction strlen in an x86 extension now? This is why people say that even assembly isn't the lowest level. Who knows how many uOPs these things are. Not sure of VAX architecture if there even are u

yes, thank you. Looks like it was taken down which would explain why I couldn't google for it. I was looking for the COMF instruction.

in more discussion with them, that turns out to not be the case. It was a misunderstanding of what an SBC is.

> no ability to get chips with newer instructions I understood that sentiment to mean you want them socketed. Maybe that's me projecting. I wasn't around for the x86 boom days where every week speeds would double. So I don&#x2

In a way I appreciate knowing that I didn't miss out on much. I vaguely recall something about animation though? Other than that, I guess that's what I remember too. Just splattering stuff on the screen to hear the funny noises an

I like the 0 indexing. I guess I don't understand the problem. If you don't want to buy the laptop, don't buy it? I'll note that an SBC and a SoM are different things. SoM (system on module)s are, as the name says, just

I think usually there's too much building off of each other for this. Standing on the shoulders of giants and whatnot. To me that's the purpose of society and human evolution but I won't get preachy. I didn't read the st

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMCbnEGGL4E I remember the first part to this so well. Wondering if maybe I skipped the rest or I just forgot it. The "wow" is burned into my memory. But as I alluded to in my edit,

Maybe a few months ago I got a real hankering for the sounds of KidPix. The theme song is 100% pure lab grade nostalgia for me. Pretty sure I never used the program to its full extent but I loved the funny sound effects. [Editing because I

Yes but that's not an SBC, that's a laptop. I don't understand who would call that an "SBC". I guess technically any laptop that's only 1 PCB is an SBC, but that still doesn't answer the original question

Jumping in with the others, this is not good. When I've written papers in the past, and used peer reviewed, trusted journals, what else am I supposed to do? Recreate every experiment and analysis all the way down? Even if it's an

I don't understand what you mean that SBCs are sold as entire laptops. SBC is Single Board Computer. Like a raspberry pi. A raspberry pi is not a laptop. If you just look up "RISC-V SBC" none of them are laptops. Is the inten

That's on me for confusing you with the original commentor who suggested adding PCIe onto that chip. Also, Efinix hasn't proven themselves yet. I've been following their titanium line for years. Every year they say they'

I just wholeheartedly disagree relative to Arduino. You're telling me I gotta find a microsd card, get their software, either A) muck around with the boot settings file (though I think recently they can do that in the flasher) or B) fi

I tried to find that list of fake funny assembly instructions last night and couldn't for the life of me. This reminded me of it. If anyone else loves funny assembly things, please save me.

I think these are great options for where pis aren't needed. Over the years I've seen a deluge of "I needed a microcontroller but didn't know what that was so I used a pi" and "I needed little more than a docke

I'm also Firefox on Android and it didn't for me. Though I have noticed that some of the newer versions of Firefox can be kinda sucky for PDFs. Maybe it's linked to versions.

As mentioned by another comment, the flash chosen a 16 Mbit according to Avnet's listing. Storage during component selection is pretty much always in bits, whereas consumers like bytes. That being said, the board should be reworkable t

Yeah uh if you think microcontrollers are on 3nm... No. Most microcontrollers are on 28-40 if not larger. Lower gate widths can sometimes increase logic density and sometimes fmax but they dramatically increase static power, yields, and by

Very valid concerns. Sounds like they've done effort to make it risky to be out of date. I'm sorry to hear it

If you're on Android, it's quite simple really. You have to uninstall the app completely from the phone (any other accounts or work profiles or anything will interfere) or use an app cloner that can change the metadata. Anyway, yo

Piggy backing on this, image sensors using CSI are quite common. I don't know if anyone has this application, but theoretically if you wanted more than a few (I think even higher end processors cap out at 4) video streams in comes....

Your question was why to use this over PCIe. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question but as Syzygy is a connector standard, your question must have been about the connector. I think colloquially the "PCIe connector" refers t
954.
by Neywiny 2y ago
I'm hoping UCIe starts to fix this. It's touted as being something that can combine the low power with the high speed. As is PCIe is a relatively high power for anything that doesn't need the speed. You need to be moving pret
955.
by Neywiny 2y ago
2 primary reasons come to mind: 1. PCIe is mostly transceivers. Syzygy can be low speed, single ended, etc etc as well. 2. PCIe's card edge connectors can add manufacturing cost (gold plating, chamfered edges, board thickness tricks,

Can you backdate the app? I've taken to even turning off auto updates from Google Play (would be nice to leave some on for anything I care about security but whatever). No more random "yeah we redesigned everything and now it suck

Very cool. Quick note on the SNR, though. My understanding is that every bit gets you 6, but maybe with this architecture that's not the case. Regardless, SNR is unitless so it's dB, not dBm. It's a very common mistake and I

Agreed. I think at one point I either saw that you could get an offline kindle-esque Wikipedia device or I contemplated what it would take to make one and saw it wouldn't be terrible. If I didn't hallucinate that product I'd

The cloud thing bugs me because a lot of times buying things, managing licenses, etc, is a hassle. I disagree that bundling Python wouldn't work given blender does it, I think inkscape does it, and done other common programs. Would it
