A cool hack, but also impressive to come up with a CLI "browser" that's even more expensive to run than Chromium.

I want to use the 2nd core to a evaluate a command buffer per line with linewise double buffering instead of keeping a whole frame buffer around. With commands to draw lines, boxes, curves, bitmaps, text etc.

The memory footprint is 520kiB of SRAM + 8MiB of QSPI RAM + 16MiB of QSPI flash. What kind of bloated monstrosity do you want to run on that poor board?

If you did it right you would render the damaged area of each window for each display it's visible on, but that would require more rigerous engineering than our software stacks have.

That's a cheap cop out.

If the Google and their ad + search monopoly went away tomorrow all the publishers would start on equal footing. Opting out while Google still runs its monopoly just kills your medium.

Itanium did its most most important job: it killed everything but ARM and POWER.

How ironic that the WSJ decided to make the text unreadable themselves just in case anyone cared to read it.

The headline asks the wrong question. Everybody has the freedom to decide what to do with their own life. You need a damn good justification to argue that anybody has the right to force someone else to suffer longer than they want to.

Urban doesn't have to mean slumming it. There is a very comfortable peak in the middle between capsule hotel and suburbia.

An unlike the 9500 you could even get at the RAM slots without breaking the damn plastic clips as use tear down the whole machine. Whoever combined the 9500 case and mainboard deserves as special place in engineering hell.

Does anyone but Renesas even offer a Cortex M85 based MCU? Afaik the all the other high performance ARM based microcontrollers still use a Cortex M7 except for a few M55 based chips.

The primary purpose of the NIF is to maintain the US nuclear stockpile without nuclear tests. The lasers very inefficient (iirc about 2%). The success they claimed is that the energy released by the burning plasma exceeds the laser energy p

And even when nothing changed?!? Fucking lazy developers aka "I have an idle ≥1Gb/s pipe to the download server". What happened to rsync/zsync/zstd (with dictionary)? There are so many good tools freely available to

A "480ns GPIO roundtrip" @ 100MHz implies 48 cycles for a single GPIO access. I would understand one or two cycles, but what does it spend the other ~46 cycles on? Does Python really have a >40x overhead compared to assembler o

I never knew they tried to extend the 6502 ISA to 32 bits.

> Adobe is the one major company trying to be ethical with its AI training data and no one seems to even care. It's sad that it's funny that you think Adobe is motivated by ethical consideration.

Depends if you count real or fake frames and if it fits in what little VRAM Nvidia gives their captive customer base.

Some of the new scenes are just too damn bright, but the few that preserved the atmosphere looked really good in the trailer.

You'll be hard pressed to find a MCU with better support for fast bitbanging. Any unusual digital bus for which you don't have a fitting peripheral. Both the RP2040 and RP2350 also have a ridiculous per clock memory bandwidth. Ins

Simplifed when used as digital input a GPIO pin has three voltage ranges: 0V up to the logical low threshold, VCC down to the logical high threshold, and an and undefined range in the middle. The RP2350 burns a lot of power while in this mi

In situations where the power wasted by such a strong external pull-down or pull-up is inacceptable e.g. everything running of a small battery for more than a few hours. The resistors can easily burn more power than the whole chip.

Any encryption/signature that can be broken in software on affordable hardware is just that: BROKEN. What is your theory of harm? Who is harmed and how? Why should the law protect them by restricting the freedom of others? AMD *sold* t

Too bad it lacks even the streaming mode SVE2 found in M4 cores. If only Apple would provide a full SVE2 implementation to put pressure on ARM to make it non-optional so AArch64 isn't effectively restricted to NEON for SIMD.

Isn't it misleading to just add up the output width of all SIMD ALU pipelines and call the sum "datapath width", because you can't freely mix and match when the available ALUs pipelines determine what operations you can

AMD also has a long history of using half-width, double-pumped SIMD implementations. It worked each time. With Zen 4 the surprise wasn't that it worked at all, but how well it worked and how little the core grew in any relevant metric
