Everyone going to work for a startup needs to have someone explain this stuff, to the point where you understand it all in detail. What it doesn't say is that founders usually elect 83(b) - they buy their shares up front - spending som

Really - today in NZ we have a political stoush where a serving politician has been chatting with young teenagers on snapchat - while there are lots of places where perfect security is important, with predatory adults around perhaps it&#x27

It's worth being clear about what Cadence are announcing here (Cadence sells VLSI tooling and libraries) - they have 2 things: - cells for a chip to send/receive at 128Gb/s - this solution requires 8 of them running in parall

FWIW we were building some of the first mac graphics accelerators when we were doing the above work - 24-bit graphics were new, and too slow to be usable on the original Mac 2s (that too slow plateau) - in part it was because the software g

I spent a lot of time on the early 90s looking at building faster graphics hardware - started out grabbing a lot of data. #1 thing we figured out is that 'raw performance' and 'perceived performance' are two very differe

Who wants to bet that Qualcom is spinning a RISC-V version as fast as it can - this after all is why open source ISAs are a good thing

There is - but given the size of the design space that's mostly done with a library of gates - synthesis/layout pick cells from that library and place them, often putting connected gates together - you could then merge gates in so

It's interesting that the v4 code linked reuses pid 0 (the code that assigns pids simply does "p->p_pid = ++mpid;") - I vaguely remember having to fix that in kernels we were working on in the mid 80s

These connections are big compared to other features - that means more capacitance (but far less than pins and PCB traces) that means that you are not going to be building designs where there's a design block moves into 3D more it&#x27

it's not just random() - it's stdio, and malloc/free/new/delete (though some implementations use per-thread pools with added complexity)

This describes a timing attack like Spectre/Meltdown on a particular O/S architecture, not all RISC-V cores - looks like there are timing issues with allocation of write port slots when writing to the register file - because divis

Yeah looks like bugs in riscv-boom rather than the RISC-V ISA itself

It's roughly a subway stop east of it - the hotel I stay at when I visit is almost at the exact point on that map - but remember that Chinese maps and GPS do not line up (check that spot on google maps and then turn on the photo layer

I can, there are multiple muscles/tendons that move it, I believe this was one that pulls it up and there must be others that do the same - I really have not noticed any change in functionality there

Mostly, I've had issues with scar tissue - this is an operation where you want scar tissue forming in the right places, but not the wrong ones, so I've had a couple of minor ops which seems to have fixed it - mostly now it feels t

I have no idea who pioneered it - AFAIK this is what they normally do for my case (was ~10 years ago) BTW most achilles breaks are dealt with my putting them in a boot to force the broken bits together and hope that they heal in place - in

BTW - if you ever find yourself in a situation like this - do the physio work, own doing it, no one's going to tell you to do it more than you, and a good physio will give you a plan to follow - in my case having access to a hot physio

No, turns out there are enough other muscles/tendons pulling on it I haven't really missed it, there's nothing obvious I can't do with it - I suspect the ones that pull it down are more important than the ones that pull

I broke my Achilles tendon - had to have a FULL reconstruction - they took a tendon that used to help waggle my big toe (the muscle is in my leg) wrapped around my heel and back up my leg and rebuilt my achilles around that - now I have a m

I built this: http://www.moonbaseotago.com/cheaprf/dev_playa1.png 10+ years ago = it uses a CC2533 RF/CPU zigbee core and forms a mesh net (it does SUOTA that way too) - we designed it for Burning Man but never sw

There can be an advantage to not exercising: it causes a taxable event the IRS will want a cut of the difference between your exercise value and the current valuation, it requires you to commit real money to buy shares that may never be wor

Just for comparison other countries that claim "230v" have that last one - 220-240v between the phase you get and neutral and 440v between phases if you get 3-phase
