Many great comments that I appreciate! Just as a bit of extra data, here is my design problem: My lab uses an existing OpalKelly solution which translates a semi-custom SPI interface to USB. We've built some open-source closed-loop sof

Agree that TSMC is good news. > US manufacturing is about to be reinvigorated I’d suggest you post a small/medium quantity machining RFP on MFG.com with a medium to high complexity. I’ve been quite discouraged that US vs China price

Rooms full of people writing into a computer is a striking mental picture. It feels like it could be background for a great plot for a book/movie.

Even if Hezbollah made the order, it would be difficult to be confident all would be distributed to operatives as opposed to sold to other civilian users.

I think the issue in NYC might be the police union rather than the organization per se. As described in the article the source and enforcement of this particular practice is the union. I’m actually quite sympathetic to unions- it seems like

I really am curious about the Nash equilibrium solution. I assume that as a commenter has mentioned, for the guesser it involves returning random numbers near the binary search. But I’m curious if for the picker it involves a uniform or non

Why has no one pointed out that GvR posted a second time on the thread. That seems to suggest he is still actively engaged in the community?

My daughter recently read through the “Nancy Drew Diaries”. It turns out they took the original Nancy Drew books, including settings, and redid them in a cell phone/ early smartphone world, and they’re still fun. It’s an interesting co

I wish there was a way to share memory with a Pi. The PIO looks great for high speed custom IO, but 100Mb scale interface to/from it is quite hard/unsolved.

Having just spent the year in Manhattan, my experience was that most (every?) Starbucks there no longer have public bathrooms even with purchase. I was surprised to discover that the only free public bathrooms were at Sweet Green. It change

Following the Tesla analogy at the beginning of the article, it seems like the conclusion here is that success will need to be continuously redefined, in the way that now Tesla’s valuation purportedly requires it to solve the (very hard) p

I think that’s consistent with the example that I gave. I suspect someone who said “I plan to give all multiple choice exams in order to simplify grading.” in their teaching statement would likely get a poor rating? (The 76% refers to appli
