No, AMD wants to collect some rent from people running Vivado in CI/CD environments.

by fsh 4mo ago
Vivado is an IDE for programming AMD FPGAs. One cannot use it without buying AMD hardware.

The roundtrip time is measured and compensated. Even NTP does this. Knowing the distance is not necessary for time synchronization.

The users are paying plenty of money for AMD FPGAs.

This is terrible news for university users trying to professionalize their FPGA development with CI/CD. Which is probably the point of the change.

I don't get the point. The model has presumably been trained on all public GitHub code, so the evaluation is tainted anyway.

At that point you can just pre-share a key and use AES.

Chernobyl was supposed to be an economically viable means of generating electricity. Comparing a tiny billion-dollar submarine reactor to a power plant simply doesn't make any sense.

I find these posts hilarious. LLMs are ultimately story generators, and "oops, I DROP'ed our production database" is a common and compelling story. No wonder LLM agents occasionally do this.

AZW is clearly not PDF based. Try opening an actual PDF on a Kindle and compare the experience.

Japanese public transport is good, but no match for the Swiss system. Outside of big cities, the coverage is spotty, and even reasonably large towns are only connected by reserved-only trains every couple of hours that get booked out days i

I find the editorialized title misleading. They trapped 17000 atom pairs in an optical lattice and demonstrated a high-fidelity quantum gate between the atoms of each pair in parallel. There is no interaction between the atoms of different

"Quantum radar" is a toy experiment with zero practical applications. The experiments achieved a "quantum advantage" by using entangled photons which only works in the single-photon regime. Since microwave photons are pr

Essentially none of this is true. The war of the currents was between Edison and Westinghouse, not Tesla. Tesla's downfall was that he turned into a crackpot who rejected modern science, such as Maxwell's equations, and started de

It was Westinghouse who pushed the AC grid against his rival Edison's DC approach. Tesla was a minor figure working for both of them for a bit.

Many airports have ADS-B transponders in their ground vehicles. You can see them on flightradar or adsbexchange.

China has a larger population density than the EU. There is more empty land in Europe.

In 2024, China produced 8 times more electricity from renewables that from nuclear [1], and the renewable share is growing much more quickly. Nuclear is as dead in China as it is elsewhere in the world. [1] https://ourworldindata

The French energy sector is more than 50% fossil [1]. If France decarbonizes over the next decades, it will be due to renewables, not nuclear. While the government and population have been extremely pro-nuclear for a long time, the economic

The real problem are transport and heating. In most countries, those consume significantly more primary energy than the electricity sector and are still mostly fossil fueled. For example, more than half of the primary energy consumed in Fra

I don't find it reasonable that Google wants to make me wait 24h to install software on a device I own.

On the contrary, displays are commodity components. So much so that motivated enthusiasts have managed to swap better panels into their ThinkPads for a long time. Manufacturers don't prioritize display quality in cheap devices because

The article is about case reports, not about empirical studies. Putting a fake case report on GitHub wouldn't make it any less fake.

Any interaction between light and matter can be modeled as absorption and re-emission (stimulated or spontaneous) of photons. In this picture, there is not much difference between a photon traveling through the sun or through a piece of gla

From the article: > Researchers from lower risk countries have been told they could lose access beginning in either September or December if at that point they have been at the lab more than 2 years or, under a waiver, 3 years.

The abstract is not very clearly written. The 3.5 mV/cm is the maximum detectable field strength before the system starts to saturate. I would be interested how the sensitivity compares to conventional (cryogenic) semiconductor detecto
