FPGAs are awesome. They help solve problems that software is too slow to solve, but aren't large enough in scale for ASICs. They're also great for prototyping new chips before actually shelling out the hundreds of thousands of dol

Demo day expectations would be different. The point of any accelerator is to push you forward as much as they can during those few months, so you can show a lot of progress and make the most out of a demo day. $100K in funding can help you

You're right. But a master key that can be used to load new software to password protected phones without entering your password first is a backdoor. Even if it wasn't intentionally put there to be used as a backdoor. https:&#x2F

I've been saying this for a while: The "master key" that apple is warning about, the "backdoor", already exists. The master key is Apple's ability to sign a new version of IOS, and update the software on a lock

Great points. As compilers evolve, optimizers are even more knowledgeable of what should be put in a register or inline that the programmer. But those are still 2 well known features that were added intentionally to help improve performance

Languages and compilers actually do have constructs for programmers to make things easier for the compiler. "inline" and "register" are two very known examples. Other examples are function attributes in gcc: https:&#x2F
