This is not how communication is done in aviation. Instead, it’s common to abbreviate to the last three alphanumerics of tail numbers (so “niner alpha bravo” for N789AB) after the first call — but this is conditional on not having a potenti

To beat it, not to solve it. Solving means something very specific in the context of games — deriving and proving a GTO strategy.

Can you give an example? I see RISC-V being used to replace custom 16 and 32 bit cores, and M0-class ARM cores, in the 10k+ gate range, but haven't really seen a migration in the 8 bit space.

Or like it's 2025. Plenty of current-production parts using an 8051 core as either their main sequencer, or as a low power core with bigger options on the main power rail.

An anytime algorithm monotonically improves some evaluation metric. For a sort, the evaluation metric is usually the number of inversions in the list. At completion, there will be zero inversions. If at time 0 there are N inversions, then a

The article, and many of the responses, are hinting at the fact that bubblesort is an example of an anytime algorithm. This is a wide class of algorithms which provide a correct answer after some amount of time, but provide an increasingly

I’m sorry, but I disagree. Building these real-time safety-critical systems is what I do for a living. Once the system is designed and hardware is selected, I agree that if the required tasks fit in the hardware, it’s good to go — there’s n

It’s also much, much more resource intensive (both compute and memory) than what a human would right for the same requirements.

Sometimes. But sometimes you have a set of functions that are called through function pointers that need the same signature, and one or more of them ignore some of the arguments. These days I’d spell that __attribute__((unused)); but it’s a

This is a clear improvement. I think HN should commit to in-zebrafishing one title a day so we can see if the improvements are sustainable.

“We’ve already agreed what you are, now we’re just haggling about the price.” As with angels on the head of a pin, the interesting argument is whether the amount of compute is finite or not, not how finite it is.

This is focused on the illuminant, treating the surfaces as having a spectral response that’s simply a per-frequency multiplicative factor. But to me the more interesting part of spectral rendering is being able to deal with surfaces that a

One of my favorite circuits from Korn & Korn [0] is an implementation of an arbitrary function of a single variable. Take an oscilloscope-style display tube. Put your input on the X axis as a deflection voltage. Close a feedback loop on

I'm a huge fan of GaN (see the current front page discussion of LiDAR), but 99% at 500 W at 12 V is hard. 3 milliohm in the inductor will eat up 100% of your budget, without accounting for any switching losses. Like most Linear parts,

We always used Thorlabs' [0]. If you want to block Waymo (900 - 940 nm), but not Ouster (840 nm), the LG11s may work and are quite transmissive and neutral, but I've never used them. The LG20s are the standard NIR blockers that I&

See my other comments in this discussion. For long m-range pulsed LiDAR, full modulation is not feasible due to the firing circuits used. Minimal modulation can be used, and jitter injection means that any incident is likely to effect a sin
