You have any other fairytales to tell us?

If you want to dig in just have a look at the RX-888 and it's ilk. Pretty much a case study in an effort to hook a cypress usb3 chip up to an ADC with the lowest BOM cost possible. Forget the matched predriver, forget buffers, forget a

An individual did do this. Companies do not suddenly grow arms and brains and learn to code, at least not quite yet.

Yes they characterized them even down to manufacturer/production run using a complex waveform that allowed them to measure and tune the coefficients of their algorithm to match. Although there was also a little sound bite dropped in th

It really puts into perspective the billions of dollars in hardware and software research that I routinely mobilize to ask ChatGPT banal questions: Are farts funny?

Oh god, the receivers being shipped with the LTC2208! They do not even deserve to have supply of that chip. What a disservice.

Just have to say this is the first time I've seen someone introduce the concept of an RF mixer "backwards".

This is the kind of thing that will destroy a nation's manufacturing industry overnight. Who in their right mind would buy kind of equipment from a Polish company knowing that this kind of nonsense is both widespread and that their leg

OTOH this software existing does change the conversation, especially if the solution gains significant media attention or becomes popular. Hopefully this solution passes muster and does effect some kind of change. Remember when Apple promis

I just want to reiterate how fucking ridiculous it is that this thing should even exist.

It seems there should be a solution for simplifying the complexities of the pinsetter without requiring a string attached to each pin. If that is the way that people want it to be, why is nobody working on it? Why are there only two choices

In my experience it seems there is not a lot of understanding, even among people who are technology oriented, that it is possible to do strong cryptographic authentication without encryption. Whether from oversight or purposeful omission, i

I have a more cynical take; the recommendations declined when Netflix started producing their own content. Prior to this, what constituted a "good recommendation" was aligned between Netflix and the customer, but afterwards not so

This is not at all surprising when the business model does nothing to encourage drivers and restaurants to cooperate. If these places had to service their customers directly with drive-through/drive-up they would not be able to sustain

GSO (Generic segmentation offload) is supported for UDP in the Linux kernel from 4.18 so I would assume these optimizations should be easily possible for the kernel driver as well and can take advantage of any drivers that pass the GSO down

Yeah i know the software exists; it's finding ways to actually build systems from it that sucks. 2.5 gigabit ethernet has absolutely killed dead all momentum for getting faster interfaces in consumer hardware and SBCs unfortunately. I

This is awesome. Would be exciting if it can be extended to support NVMe-oF as well with RDMA via RoCEv2. A SBC running something like this with at least 2x10GbE and two M.2 slots and 2 sata ports would be an absolute dream device for me.

Spatial division works regardless of whether the antennas self interfere; it works better when they don't. Overlapping two polarity-isolated qam signals is a good way to explain rudimentary spatial multiplexing but the current state of

by gorkish 3y ago
What you are describing is antenna polarization, not phase. It seems another reply covered phase pretty well, but yes you are correct that you can also put more than one signal into the same bandwidth - so long as you are able to disambigua

It’s not crippled; It’s the opposite. Its the only radio service where when you want to do something new with it, you are supposed to publish how. If you want to do something different, use a different band where it’s permitted. The amateur

by gorkish 3y ago
Hard disagree. There should be more effort made to promote authentication and message signing (which does not require encryption to obscure meaning) and less tolerance for the use of proprietary codecs, modulations, and protocols (unpublish

IMO simply being reflective is a dead end. Future materials will have to absorb wideband energy and actively emit it in an atmospheric bandgap to be effective enough to matter. I would think this would be an excellent application for quantu
