I don’t understand the benefit of adding this intermediate component vs just writing frontend code to interact with the APIs you’d otherwise already be calling. An HTTP server with sessions placed between clients and internal systems makes

I might have missed it, how does OP broadcast across 80mhz with a 20mhz SDR? I think my mental model about SDR capability is wrong, does sample rate not necessarily gate the range at which an SDR can TX/RX? Really funny idea!

Thanks for catching that! I found a 2024 document [1] that indeed appears to explicitly forbid jeans. [1]: https://doc.fide.com/docs/2024_WRBC/wrbc2024_dress_code.pdf

I’m trying to decide if I should be concerned about the safety of general-purpose computing with such technologies sneaking into our compute. Verifying compute workloads is one thing, but I can’t find information on what kind of regulatory

Why I don’t like ads: 1. Fundamentally propaganda with little real regulatory oversight. Numerous arguments to this point and the negative impact of advertising have been made in the last several decades. 2. Tech companies seem to eventuall

Super interesting! I wish tfa would have found some way to measure the PMS150C implementation the headline brags about, but even the PFS154 (2x mem, 3x price) version is super neat! Interesting to see how the net in particular is built at s

I haven’t heard anything specific from Meta themselves, but I think the bill is short enough that we can reason as non-lawyers about it. Almost certainly they would have to stop releasing LLMs weights based on the very specific qualificatio
