What thousands of accounts did you follow that were banned? Give us a sampling.

Yes, I actually said this in my original post: Arm BIG.little works, which is what M1 is, and embedded works well, which are SoCs. It is much more difficult in AMP systems that aren't necessary only the same die, like automotive Tier 1

The problem is AMP is very hard to program and debug. In embedded, one core is a scheduler and another is doing some real-time task (like arm BIG.little). In larger automotive heterogeneous compute platform, typically they are all treated a

I'm not sure I understand what "the game" is, and I'm in my mid-50's. I don't know whether I'm so good at the game I don't know I'm playing it--because nothing bad has happened--or, I'm not

"I guess it is polite discourse these days to distance a person's actions from some intangible person-ness" Are you acting obnoxious or are you obnoxious?

Excellent point. I try to do that on HN: differentiate between describing how you interpreted what they typed ("said something greedy and childish") rather than a value statement about that person ("you are greedy and childis

There's a difference between being "assertive" and "aggressive". I've had this discussion in the past on HN and it seems people want to treat both as the same, not saying that you are. Aggression is rarely, if

I like cython, but I think it pigeon-holes developers: i've seen hardware modules written in Cython, when they could easily switch to C++ and provide a library that could be used as an FFI in any language, but instead locked themselves

Surprised to see Intel using "ARC" as a trademark when ARC international has been around for ages and bought by Synopsys in 2010, which now offers ARC processors. I thought trademarks in the same domain weren't allowed?

I have 5-1/4" floppies the early 80's that still read fine. I wonder if 3.5" floppies from 1995 would still work. I have a feeling the media was made more robustly in the early 80's because the sensors weren't

Why would someone create their own parameters for deployment and not strictly research? There are plenty curves studied by academic experts out there that aren't even NIST.

I'd just be happy of trackpad support was consistent and reliable.

You don't even need sensors. STMicroelectronics has a TRNG block [1] that "passes" NIST SP 800-22 statistical analysis [2]. I used quotes because the 800-22 is an analysis test suite and the notion of passing is based on your

Clearly every human can't be on the beach at once. But all of the Justices can remain silent. What point are you trying to make? Maybe offer a context?

by gotaquestion 5y ago
What would court case be like if none of the Justices ever spoke? Would it just be two sides giving their arguments, witness, and closing arguments? Seems like that would speed things along. But when is communication every 100% concise? Sti

I think it was important of the author to put that out there, expert or not. It made me take a mental inventory, and bolster my first-responder thoughts.

To me the cool part is that you get a free I2C output over an HDMI port. I don't know any laptops that have native I2C output w/o a USB converter.

It certainly is. I have Ubuntu 20.04 running on a Multiboot Yoga, an old Dell, and a MacBook Pro 2013 (because this is the only OS that will boot). I use both the default Gnome desktop, and sometimes switch to FVWM2 or MWM (mostly on VNC be

I don't think I meant that, although it might sound like it. I think you're accusing me of the fallacy of all or nothing, but to me the original argument sounds like an obsession with purity, but clearly one line isn't enough

Not with 3rd party drivers. I think people fetishize the desire to have complete control, and it is a myth. I've been using Linux since 1997, and all the fighting for transparency has been a tempest in a teapot with no progress made at

There are some great answers here. I'd like to add a little. You used the term "earthed", which means you are searching for a reference to something. An antenna has its own reference: one side is at a different potential than

Why do you consider that naive? Also, I wouldn't use epsilon, because that is a very small number and is related to representation of numbers. I would instead use a larger "tolerance" value, in `if |a-b| < tol ...` because

The article mentions upwards of $300/day or more, which is 110k/yr. That's a lot of money, not to mention the cost of your fixed home and other living expenses (medical?). Plus, I would not want to do a "budget" cru

Interesting way to use your vast retirement wealth. I wonder if these kind of luxury retirement expenditures will exist in the coming generations who haven't accumulated huge sums of money.

That's still a judgemental statement but has not nothing to do with the fundamental complaint: that learning isn't about ranking and rating to multiple decimal places, and that Language curricula isn't somehow inferior to Eng

The toxicity on this site still amazes me. We have people here claiming, "It's only English, would never fly with engineering." How horrendously dismissive and arrogant an attitude. As if engineering is some god-like holy dis

This is the era where prior art doesn't exist. Why read a book when you can blog about discovering "something new". I could probably make a killing blogging about my "discovery" of the algorithms in the book "H
