I would love to know that too. I don't know the frequency the walkie-talkie used: it could anywhere between 136 MHz to 900 MHz. To give you an idea, 135 MHz isn't too far from the FM spectrum. The antenna of your local radio can b

The industry is looking and taking notes: Qualcomm a major IP holder doesn't want to pay for IP while ARM prefer money over the success of its ecosystem. RISC-V immediately comes to mind as a long term alternative. Thank you ARM and Qu

The author is asking for a "give me a break" feature. I would say that in a strongly typed functional language, this is akin to mutating objects. The author seems to wish for an unsafe option to locally turn off the borrower check

I think the bootlneck is largely software. Robots have been there for a while, yet we don't have a good paradigm to program them. Neural net are certainly here to change that. I agree, massive surge in progress is expected!

On smalltalk systems like squeak or Pharo, the user interrupts the execution of a thread when it hangs with a keyboard shortcut. And people don't run untrusted code in their "main" image, they would run it in a throw away VM.

Wild guess: you could have a single address space shared by all "programs" while using virtual memory to restreint visibility on which page is accessible at a certain time. Like, at runtime, resort on a segfault to check some type
