are the PIO blocks wide enough to handle an ISA bus? Or are you using a shift register or another port on the pico to interface with the bus? edit: looking at the schematic it looks like you have the address/data pins multiplexed on an

This is equivalent to saying that you can't build a color-accurate display at all because you don't know the central wavelength. Not only is this inaccurate (LEDs are binned for exactly this purpose), but brightness variations are

I think the problem is actually worse than the article implies, because there are two things being leveraged here: compute and data. Short-term improvements made by domain-specific AI result in better outputs than more general AIs, ceteris

This is not really a problem, you can away calibrate the differences on a pixel-by-pixel basis on each frame with modern mobile GPUs. The bigger challenge here is pixel architecture, but if apple is actually slicing up wafers into a couple

a fully integrated OS is a better experience, if done right. unfortunately, the trend here is towards monetization (enshittification?) of everything in the UX: monthly data plan, onstar, required GM login for any smart features to work, ma

Maybe we should stop voting for people and start voting directly for policy.

I’ve been curious about the performance gap here – you can open htop on a pi 4 and see that CPU utilization is relatively low, ~33% out of 400%, something like that, and yet some operations seem like they take 5-6x longer than they ought to

I know nothing about vector databases – is this just “replace SQL with a dot product and return a ranked list (with optimizations)”?

It’s a real job for “raw” transformer models, where the model is just playing “follow the leader” to whatever kind of text you prompt it with – but depends a lot on how the model is trained and fined-tuned.

"Data" as a grammatic plural seems to be more common in UK english than US. I think the way to properly pluralize it is by adding a unit, the same way we'd do with words like "information" (bits of information), &qu

I don't think it will be the downturn that eliminates it, so much as it will be LLM-accelerated coding, and the normalization and incorporation of these tools into standard development workflows. If you think co-pilot is cool now, just

not religious either – but the notion that your feelings are "true" and ideals or aspirations that run counter to your feelings are "false" is a very one-sided way to look at this. If you ask a heroin addict what their t

The easiest way to make money is to convince the government to print more of it, and then take a percentage cut of the distribution and growth of the money supply. The financial industry has been doing this for decades.

I think the K,Q,V representation was what fundamentally gave rise to LLMs (from "Attention is all you need"), and I'm certain that it wouldn't have happened without the researchers having a background in search @ Google.

The transistors are the hard part to integrate here. From the manufacturing side, why waste the die space on your MCU production line when you can use a much older process to build transistors for pennies. For mixed signal design in general

This only works if: 1) your state is a linear function of time 2) you know the initial conditions 3) the time integral calculation of the state evolution over time is trivial to do (e.g. constant velocity means distance travelled is simp

There are a couple exceptions here, like Infineon/Cypress’s PSoC chips, but it sort of seems like 99% of vendors have moved to Eclipse based IDEs with full support for whatever compilers work in that ecosystem. There’s only a handful o

Setback, minimum square footage, minimum parking are all part of “building codes”, and can be used to enforce zoning and restrict development without sounding as political as “zoning”.
