Could someone please explain why they can't just hire equipment from a university lab if all they want to make are small batches using old processes? Aren't there lots of commercial-use programs for university equipment? For examp

I wouldn't be surprised if they had trouble completely unrelated to crypto. I had to close up my mini bitcoin exchange business to and from UK pounds I started shortly before back in 2018 or so. I spent few weeks writing software to li

It is very cool someone is working to address this problem rather than pretending it doesn't exist. Now we also need to discover a solution to a problem of turbine blades lasting much less than their design life in a marine environment

One of big problems today is availability. Even if other microcontrollers do cost single dollars (which isn't often a case, some for example stm32 chips that were cheap are now going for $40 they're so rare). If you're paying

Seriously, is it true equifax in US "sells information about how much you earn" to anyone or is the article horribly misleading? I don't know about US, but some time ago I had dealt with Equifax in UK (when getting a car loan

It's an entertaining hack. I think it should be considered in this context. If we start thinking about it in practical terms it stops making any sense. Specifically, a standard 2 layer board costs few $ to make. Here we're paying

I think you may be on to something here. For example ChatGPT is perfectly capable of "understanding" and speaking Polish while the amount of training data in this language definitely wasn't a lot. It is not as eloquent as in

I just add "be succinct in your answer" when I want a less verbose answer.

Hmm, nice thing from an experimental point of view, but I very much doubt there will be any practical use of this tech anytime soon unless one happens to have supply of free energy. They say>grow food with 95% less water and 97% less lan

Yes I do, it was a Commodore 64 cartridge called "Black Box 8". And it spoke Polish with the right accent with all the sounds not present in English etc. I read back then that it was domestic Polish make, but back then there was n

Many below gave various reasons about it being less than ideal to ask "personal" questions about hobbies etc, but I think I have had such question asked of me during every interview. It never was at the beginning, usually after we

I never had the misfortune to encounter such interviewing techniques nor had to use them on others. This is in two Fortune 500 companies and few smaller businesses. Perhaps because I always interviewed for "full stack" jobs where

>I could agree the average quality has dropped. But surely you agree that the sheer volume of high-quality content has ballooned. How many high-quality TV shows can you name from the 90s? Perhaps I didn't watch that much content in

Yes, this is very likely. I've added all the titles I haven't hears about to my list of things to check out. Thank you.

The speed of progress on this front is increasing. These days even "cheap" rockchip MCUs are packing 5TOPs AI accelerators. And both AMD and Intel are working on much more powerful ones for their cpus. Heck, I recently wrote a mob

I know nothing about the business of making movies, but I have to say the quality of films/TV produced in the west has been in steady decline for quite some time. Sure there are odd creations that are really good (like Dune), but then

It is interesting, could you say more on how old were CD-Rs that failed and what percentage roughly failed? Also how were they stored? I hear a lot of this information, but personally my experiences are diametrally opposite. I've never

One can in theory run even 175B bloom with just a modern multicore CPU, 32gb of RAM and 2TB of nvme storage. There is a library called accelerate witch with some slight modifications allows one to run in cpu/storage only mode models th

If this is based on fpga tech (xilinx) I don't think it will have a cost/benefit edge over asics. Why not do their own TPU like Google did? Nowadays even embedded MCUs come with AI accelerators (last I heard was 5TOPS in a banana

They'll provide "tools and manuals". If this includes service software that is good. Also I wonder what kind of detail is there in those service manuals. For the mechanical components I would at least expect drawings of each

Indeed it is true, I hated it when I was setting it up, but I love how it works now... So, I still recommend it, but only to people that don't mind looking at code if things don't work.

This somewhat reminds me of my first car. An Eastern German VW Trabant with a two stroke 600cc engine. It was a car I did drive on motorways occasionally as it was my only car (I bought it for $100 when I was 18,the car was 18 years old too

Crypto currency? Seriously, that was their first thought? I find it hard to believe. It sounds like something a journalist would come up with to make a story more interesting. Also, if the boxes have antennas, what length are they? If these
