I feel like PCI and ISA have left holes as well. PCI/e is a fiendishly difficult protocol

It's completely true! I'm probably pretty good at programming because my father had connections to a gov't lab and got me an internship. I also really wanted to get good at math... had my parents or myself known that most mat

Either they buy a risc-v chip someone taped out or they synthesize one in the FPGA. The latter will be competitive with 10-20 year old technology.

Tapeouts are many, many millions for something that will compete with anything in even your phone

They best not be suggesting that they run a RISC-V in the fpga.

It's strange to me that they claim to have implemented some filtering but somehow Tay was saying all sorts of things about Hitler. How do you not anticipate this? I'd imagine the most rudimentary filtering would block Tay from tal

This is not at all how proposed quantum computer or algorithms work. It's a cute experiment but it's more anthropic than quantum.

It's disgusting. I think it's given people in high places excuses TO be assholes.

I agree. I think I'd just add that I really believe that the climate of fear that seems to exist in these super high pressure companies creates the wrong incentives. Would we be okay with a bridge building company being a super high st

It will almost certainly be used to kill people... eventually.

Yeah but... to a degree, right? Many amazing things have been accomplished by people not working themselves to death. If the workforce convinces itself that people are expendable then I suppose people are expendable! I however choose to fig

What evidence do you have that people are refusing to work for this income?

Prolly gotta read the paper. It relies on something called the beam column effect. It's been used for ages for making vibration isolators. You compress the flexure until you push the resonant frequency where you're happy.

It's not a new metal! This title is very misleading. They're just balancing a spring against something that contributes negatively to the spring constant that can be added and removed.

Resistance should be easy as well. I think the wikipedia page for a Wheatstone bridge explains this best. If this sort of thing interests you, I'd encourage you to look at the quantum metrology triangle. Frequency, resistance, and curr

Okay we have mass and time nailed down. I think the subdivision method should work for length as well. Let's try voltage. Consider two voltage sources that you want to measure the ratio of. Place one source on one arm of a resistor, an

Here's another. Imagine you want the ratio of two clock sources. Put them both through frequency dividers, with one divider output put through a phase shifter. compare the resultant divided frequencies by xoring the signals together. T

Imagine a balance with an arm that can be somehow folded in half again and again (think a snap bracelet. Those are rigid in one direction and stiff bent in the other). Fold the beam in half and mark the center. Use this point as the fulcrum
