Flying radiation hardened FPGAs is a big one. Just because a chip exists doesn't mean it's usable for any given application.

Easier said than done. Lots of Zynqs on orbit and elsewhere right now but if you want to do anything at all custom you're stuck with soft cores because regardless of who you are, I know for sure you don't have the money to do a c

I mentioned it elsewhere but a big draw is FPGA soft cores or others forms of embedded CPU stuff. ARM licensing terms are bonkers so riscv has a major advantage if you need something better than a NIOS II or Microblaze (soft cores that Int

FPGA soft cores for space applications. You can't (or at least couldn't at the time) license ARM cores for FPGA deployments outside of R&D because ARM is psychotic.

You're not wrong. I think the move to riscv will happen but not in any time span we can make predictions inside of (~10 years+). ARM has been awful to license stuff from and riscv has been great for keeping them from going absolutely

Worked on a project using them a couple years ago and it was a complete shit show. Stuff like atrocious documentation, spaghetti code demo projects and very difficult to reach support. We surmised that their auto core builder thing was ac

Yes but can you trivially hack it to enable all the software locked features?

It's especially frustrating because so many projects only ship with helm chart documentation for their containers. If you're not doing a unicorn style deployment (100% of users) then you're SOL. K8s is probably the best/

And importantly, as a cop, you're allowed to buy off-roster (modern) handguns and then turn around and sell them to the public at a profit. You have to be slightly careful because the ATF doesn't like non dealers buying and selli

It's pretty eye opening to watch every bill pushed through in the name of firearm safety turning out to have massive exemptions for off duty and retired cops. They're such a powerful political force that it's outright expect

I spent much of my youth playing on gravel, really builds character quickly. Wood chips are another good option, builds good callouses.

IDK what op is annoyed by in particular, everyone with any interest in cars has their own bone to pick with the way the regs are structured. Personally, I'm frustrated you can't produce something like a 1990 NA Miata anymore or th

I had this exact same dilemma on the thalys then I remembered they don't actually inspect anything because it's a fucking train. Here in the US is impossible to get six feet without your stuff being rifled through though.

Needs more Michael Bay. I think they're noticing the lighting on the towers looking kinda cgi but it's just a dawn shot so the lighting will always look a bit aggressive.

It continuously transmits a unique ID. You've probably seen large panel antennas mounted on highways, these are frequently there to read this ID and use it for volume/transit time stats.

It was a thing for a while, less so now though. To be fair, while they're illegal if fully finished (it's complicated, the ATF changed the rules recently), they're not exactly a threat to anyone. They just make weapons less

I'd be careful with EMI/EMP based testing, if it's latching up one line or flipping one bit, it's probably also doing it to a ton of lines/bits. I'm guessing here but based off my experience with such things,

I feel like the designers of this would feel the same way about the current solution involving sand that has been imbued with the ability to think. We take for granted the abstractions and mental models/tools we have to manage the comp

Lemme guess. Aerospace/defense? This is the usual strategy to satisfy defense procurement regulations regarding IT security. Also the reason nothing ever gets done.

Is there an endlessh for spam calls? Let an ai just sit there and drive them slowly insane so they have less time to defraud other people?

Was hoping for some sort of interesting synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mapping service like Capella Space. Instead got more adtech APIs :/ Why did they name themselves "Radar"?
