I use a similar device with Meshtastic for hiking. It's nice to be able to track people and communicate if you're meeting up on the trail and I've found range to be good enough to be useful on a lot of trails even if it'

Damn I had never thought of the possibility that you could easily battery back the clock in a microwave/oven/etc despite being fully aware that it's trivial to do. We get a ton of brownouts and I gave up on keeping the clocks

Don't forget that you use e.g. the lightning strike ability as a long range attack, yet the avatar you have to interact with tends to aggressively charge directly into close range. I gave up using the lightning ability because I just g

Not really. There are newer iterations of the chips (including RISCV and Zigbee/Thread versions) but you won't see drastic performance/power improvements. Performance limitations are par for the course for this segment of the

Also lets you tell when people approach the door but don't ring, especially if you have some kind of person detection going. My mailman drops stuff on the porch all the time and never bothers to ring the doorbell which is annoying, but

The things in SynJax aren't neural nets themselves as far as I see poking around, it's a bunch of different [complicated] probability distributions that you might encounter when modeling neural nets or related tasks stochastically

Most middle and high end soldering irons have had digital control loops run by microcontrollers for decades and that has serious advantages over a "dumb" iron (though there are some analog closed loop systems like Weller). The tar

Yeah that's the complicated part. The regs are responsible for some of the mess, but far from all. It's a complicated subject, probably too much to get into here but you can look at the history of Vogtle as a start. Blaming the NR

That's a major oversimplification. The reason the US is mostly (entirely) running Gen 2 reactors is because we simply lost interest in building new reactors for a long time. There were regulatory hurdles that caused this, but there w

Not OP but I deal with this a lot. In my experience a lot of folks working in mainstream ML haven't been exposed to it unless they specifically focused on it. It might just be a course load thing... getting the most out of these probab

This is actually kind of appealing, in my experience "shopping" for the right journal for an article can be kind of a pain when you're in a smaller field. You'd likely get a ton of spam from that large tranche of fake jo

You can buy cables without the lock tabs. They work well and still stay in just fine, making me wonder why the stupid infuriating tabs are even necessary. I replaced all of mine after busting my knuckle open wrestling with a locking cable i

They're a big deal in industrial/automotive/defense but they don't have a ton of visibility. Perhaps why they'd be interested in more outreach, Atmel and others like STMicro definitely reaped benefits from engaging

The RA4M1 is an ARM Cortex core, but it could be that Renesas offered to subsidize some of the cost of the board by providing the chips with some kind of sweetheart deal. Not a bad idea if so, Renesas can generate a whole lot of interest

Yeah, important to remember that the old Wifi module for the Arduino was like 20-30 bucks and was basically just an AT modem that still needed a host Arduino. Barely anybody ever used them that I saw. The original ESP-01 for a couple bucks

I disagree, I consider the iPhone to be a gaming device. By many metrics it might even be the most popular gaming device ever. It's not only a gaming device, but it can be more than one thing. That said, I suspect that the price tag

Sure but OP's point is that that tiny fraction of code is (probably, I'm just guessing) responsible for a disproportionately large fraction of time spent actually running work. AVX is AFAIK mostly used in hand rolled, low level li

You should actually look at what's available. You can get a QNAP box with an ARM CPU with lots of drive slots, dual 2.5 gig Ethernet and dual 10 gig SFP+ for like $700, among many more examples. Sure saturating those is gonna eat a ton

Unfortunately that is similarly offset by the extra need to cool in warmer weather. Though it's interesting to think about given you have to factor in different system efficiencies for different power and heat/cool types as well a

I believe the context of this post is likely the other one earlier today, which asserts that bird flu is being used as a pretense to gouge prices when the impact is actually minimal. I'm not taking a position one way or the other, but
