I make a habit of asking support whether things I’m buying are commingled. First-level support used to be able to tell me pretty quickly (and I got both “yes” and “no” answers), but these days I’ve had to escalate most of the time. Kind of

Sure, it was down 60%. But the real question is whether it outperformed Intel as a whole, and outperformed other internal investments Intel could make. I certainly wouldn't think that a 2015 dollar anywhere else within Intel is worth m

Use it for what? If your goal is understanding… probably don’t. If you’re trying to produce a document for an audience that doesn’t really care and will just use an LLM to summarize it without any fact checking, then give the minimal prompt

This is an MTA map, not a general “transit” map. Having the AirTrain on it is a bit of a bonus, but probably reflects (a) it being the most common question MTA gets and (b) it being more integrated with the rest of the MTA system than PATH

Eh, it’s a 4-LUT. If 4-LUTs were good enough, I’d stick with Microsemi. As it is, their only advantage over 6-LUTs is that they’re much less awkward to be overhead discussing by someone who doesn’t know FPGAs. (“6-LUTs are great” can raise

At a quick glance, couldn’t find any information about their LUT/slice/whatever they call their primitive. 1) Is it flash or ram based? Flash based LUTs are still a huge differentiator for Microsemi in aerospace due to SEU immunit

Yeah, this is a major design point for commercial aircraft interiors, and handling the point loads often favors materials like foam-core composites that usually lose out to e.g. honeycomb core composites on most other performance figures.
