Aha, very good! Yes, I had seen the second link -- and, in fact, posted on the Soft-Center forums at the time. It gave me some of the basic information, but sadly, without the "key" to what some of that means, it's not terr

Ha, yes, good point :-) I didn't write about that, but I did take some pictures of failed attempts at that. That's one of the first things I did, actually. After dumping the contents of the flash off, I went on Amazon and hit &#x

Hmm. I hadn't heard of the errata-driven memory corruption paper before: although interesting, it didn't seem terribly novel -- errata being used to adversely affect a machine have been around since the dawn of time. My personal

(I work for NVIDIA, but not on the Shield team, and am speaking only in a personal capacity, not a corporate capacity.) There has been a source release to build Android, at least [0] -- the open source teams, I've found, are very very

And, of course, since it's in relatively small letters on that page, it is probably valuable to remind folks: Sandstorm is also being crowdfunded! [1] I've gone ahead and supported it, and I hope that you will too: Sandstorm is a

I remember reading this article a while back, and then some time later, reading another similar article, also about evolving circuits on FPGAs. (Note, by the way, that this article is only in theory evolving digital circuits: the run envir

Ars Technica wrote a similarly scathing article [0] -- in more detail, really -- about the mail that Satya sent out. The focus of Ars's article, though, is a little more at the industry, and a little less at Microsoft: in their discus

Although I have no love in particular for the plaintiffs in this case, and I think that Aereo's new strategy is probably something they should be allowed to pursue, there was one sentence in their response that really rubbed me the wro

This seems like a pretty bizarre solution. Careful design of updates to be resilient to ordering errors seems like the appropriate response here -- for instance, using the remote site like a content-addressible cache, rather than a name-

When I was a TA for my undergrad operating systems class, I gave a lecture once on using SPIN for basic verification of a handful of mutex implementations, and proving a handful of properties about them. If you want a basic conceptual prim

Yeah, the original link appears to be blog spam. If you want to see a lot of people cheerlead, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157 is the XDA forums link.

That's not a terribly difficult proposition in a strongly-typed language -- in fact, it is even more performant than if you were to do it with tagged unions! The function "floatFromBits : float -> bits" has no execution

Ben Krasnow also did a good piece on this, showing a system that he built with a 4F correlator. Of course, his piece is full of things that look like things you could build at home if you had infinite resources on hand ... but it really do

Ha! I was about to come and comment on this, and was glad to see that you already made it in the thread :-) I also wish I still had time for unrevoked-like projects. One of the things that I think differentiates the Android community from

Very good work. PLLs can be a little scary if you're instantiating them by hand for the first time, but as long as you know the incantation to do it on each platform, it's not too bad. Both platforms (Altera and Xilinx) have &#x2

Aha, that makes more sense! You might want to clarify that some when you initially introduce the message; I think that point is kind of 'hiding' behind some of the other ideas in your post. It looks like you fixed one of the more

This post is certainly bizarre in many ways; I would agree with the 'wince', to be sure. The litany of mechanical errors throughout the post substantially detract from it. The thing that boggles me the most, though, is when the a

This is not so far from reality. Ben Zorn has done some work on this -- in particular, his work on "Flikker" might be interesting to you. The paper ( http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/mo
