I do actually but that's irrelevant. It's an engineering trade-off. In a car, it's a stupid one because its built to a cost profile not a safety profile. You can't compare a $200m Airbus to a whatever it's going to

Not totally. They have two redundant computers in the control loop. But they worked out this was a shitty idea if there was a failure so there are mechanical and electrical backup systems. Whilst "fly by wire" technically speaking

Yeah look at planes. I'd rather have hydraulics and mechanical controls still in a car. Which is why I drive a primitive POS (Dacia Duster).

Ah yeah I watched that thread in EEVblog.

by baz00 3y ago
Yeah that. Particularly when it came to test equipment which was pretty much down to building it yourself (or being rich). I saw a lot of things that looked like plumbing in the 80s rather than electronics. Not until the 90s did I understan

I've got a domain which I forward my primary address to my outlook box. I just reply from outlook.com. I've had the account since 1999.

Well last time I had to fuck around was because the entire IP ranged ended up on an RBL and I couldn't deliver to half the people I needed to. Oh and then there was that time that Yahoo did its thing and asks you to fill in a web form

Apple have a lot less problems to contend with than China do.

I am suggesting that they can't. They have a serious innovation problem. A lot of their designs started out stolen or cloned from the West. They also don't have anything like ASML available to them. And to get this out SMIC ripped

I used to run mail server for a large corporation in the late 90s. I always get really excited and nostalgic about running my own mail server when I see these articles. I have a spare domain I use for testing stuff on so occasionally I&#x27

We'll have newer hot and slow chips by then like we always have.

Perhaps I see this as naivety but it feels wrong reading it. A transistor is a really simple functional unit. A neuron is a hugely complex system on its own which is 3 orders of magnitude the size or more and 3d to boot. They are nowhere ne

I think getting the passengers to flap has a similar physics outcome.

If they're doing this with no data they are probably doing everything else with no data. Based on the fucking clown show I see behind the scenes at AWS from a big customer perspective, it appears it's squeaky noses and big feet ri

I don't think you have the context for that one to understand it and the sensitivity around it. Think Northern Ireland. Any absolutist position is a problem. This is fairly balanced and the outcome is proportionate.

The problem is that the BBC was and now isn't.

Yeah actually read the tweets. They were grossly offensive, threatening violence and nasty as hell. You think that's ok? One of them for reference: "kill yourself before I do; rape is the last of your worries; I’ve just got out o

Yep. I'm not saying that isn't the case. It's a zombie product. And it needs to go!

What do you think I can't say here? And why was my colleague fired? Surely his speech was protected?

by baz00 3y ago
Amazing that a US colleague of mine was fired for saying "fuck" to another US colleague. Really free country that with protected speech... When people say freedom in the US it tends to be people free to be assholes to their fellow

Um, fine over here in the UK. I mean our entire yearly list of shootings is a bad Saturday night in Chicago. And before anyone says "what about the stabbings", our per capita stabbings are about half the US!

I don't think we shouldn't show it. Now is just a bad time. The social media misinformation networks are quite frankly more organised than the organised media and the organised media's press standards are low because they wan

Actually making social media networks and the posters accountable for misinformation rather than threatening it would be a first step.

The two are difficult to distinguish at the moment which is the problem.

No I'm saying that sources should be verified carefully rather than rushing photos of dead children to the front page and then correcting articles later quietly. The gap between these two events tends to result in more people getting h

by baz00 3y ago
I think it's dangerous to publish things like this at the moment due to the amount of dreadful journalism and carefully misquoted titles out there. We are literally in the middle of a misinformation war. Harsh reactions with consequenc

They're still running prehistoric Intel Xeons. I'm sure they'll just rot slowly until the instances fail.
