Not sure about the support. Intel employees regularly submit to coreboot repo. I know at least for the Atom based designs that I've been involved in Intel provides reference designs using coreboot and supports it.

Elon would be a roadblock to such a merge. Toyota won't be able to function with him in any managerial position. I doubt he'll accept anything less than full control. He won't be content as an "evangelist".

Yes! But even if you have 2 out of 3 vote you can still have two sensors that can fail, say due to a bird strike or something else and MCAS would have to be disabled which means pilots need to learn to fly the plane w/o MCAS. The one p

That mistake of one team not talking to the other about AoA would have been caught at system level hazard analysis, which is a requirement for any half decent engineering organization churning out safety critical requirements. Heck it is pa

Most likely because it is institutionalized to steal IP and stolen IP is seen as more valuable than homegrown IP. The actors are financially incentivized by the company for any stolen tech (per the indictment). Add Chinese culture of pleasi

PI code on x86 is provided by Intel. You can't ever open source it. Coreboot, like other offerings, sets up the basic stack and jumps to Intel provided blob, which then jumps to the provided hook in Coreboot when a particular part of i

Matt Levine covered this very exact situation vis-a-vis Amazon https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-10-22/front-...

Looks like I was correct. This image from Bloomberg article seems to indicate SPI flash ( https://twitter.com/jamesdotcuff/status/1048221163607007233 )

It does look like a balun which is clever but based on the pinout I think it is meant to intercept SPI flash and patch it as needed.

And then one day instead of those bots talking through natural language we can have them talking to each other by modulating and demodulating the sounds to create ones and zeros. Maybe even call them MO-DEM bots. And then one day we can mak

True but now they can offer their own systems that integrate far better with the car electronics. Such as controlling the HVAC or offering rear view camera in the in-dash system. Those are good opportunities for lock-in which they'll n

You are absolutely correct. But there is an upshot to this -- modular infotaiment system that you can upgrade every few years.

There are 86,400 seconds in a day. 138KB x 86400/5 = 238640KB /day = ~2328 MB/day = 69,840 MB/month = 67 GB/month. I'm going to go on a limb and say his 138KB is more like 1.38KB which would bring us closer to

ARM has modes which is somewhat analogous to x86 rings.

It is definitely not lack of experience. Some of the best coders I've known have been hardcore low level EE guys. The issue is organizational priorities and available bandwidth. As soon as the product ships the core people are moved to

This is a hearing for a preliminary injunction. It comes before the actual trial. So we're pretty close to "there", for the purposes of the injunction. The idea is you stop the (possibly) bad behaviour based on the evidence a

A court can draw adverse inference based on defendant's actions. So yes the judge can say that, but you'll note he says "we're not there yet, I don't know." and words to that effect. He is warning them that thi

I had similar upbringing and I can say I feel the same. Definitely something to be said about being averse to groupthink.

The cost is not in reading the temp. Cookers, and cooking systems in general have a lot of thermal inertia. You need a lot of wattage and a well designed PID to get precise temp control.

cables are rated for different power and that is signalled by specific resistor values. I'm assuming in this case Apple just cheaped out, to save a few cents, and didn't make them all rated for 3A. Therefore you'd only get sl

This wasn't pen to screen update. The driver was only for screen update. It wasn't an open source project. It was work-for-hire.

I'll bite... their claim of 55ms is most likely for a tiny region to be updated. It is not for the whole screen. You'll notice in their video that full page updates are still slow. I've worked w/ e-ink technology and d

PLL's have been around since the 1920's. They could easily divide by n. The actual value of n didn't matter (within some bounds).

It would still have been divided down. There aren't many "Hz" oscillators. They're all usually in KHz/MHz range.
