The answer lies in the reason why you would use an embedded scripting language/environment at all, over just loading native code plugins – sandboxing, fault isolation and such. RISC-V seems to be used here more as a bytecode format of

Except, maybe, for the fact that they are attempting to run anything Electron at all on their device, it is not a configuration problem to use a machine that was manufactured a couple years ago and was most likely not top-of-the-line hard

I did not say otherwise :) My point is that with a ground-source the cooling can be “passive” – you don’t actually need to turn on anything but a circulation pump or two once in a while. The downside of course is that its not going to make

Out of curiosity, why did they think 50kW was a necessary amount of energy to heat? Is the building old and poorly insulated? An A/A+ energy class 150m² home barely needs 1/10th that amount. If it was indeed a question of insulati

I got “away” paying almost exactly €10k for fancier ground-source setup using a 6kW Thermia (i.e. Swedish) heat pump (itself about €6k.) IIRC there were definitely cheaper geothermal options back when I was investigating, but I got sold on

Should perhaps start with universal SBAS support first, which seems to be not a given still. OTOH at least in Europe there’s the EUPOS project that, if opened to the public, could very well provide good-enough corrections to give everybody

Not for the studios. There’s nothing more they would love than to get a continuous and non-ending stream of money for content they themselves have forgotten about owning.

Voltage is exactly what solves the cable thickness/resistance problem.

The major cloud vendors have their own data centers & do not need to deal with space or power limits at a rack unit. They have the entire data center worth of space and power supply to work with.

Two to three years is also when laptops become a 0 value asset in the books in at least some jurisdictions (not sure about the US tho.) At which point it makes a ton of sense to get rid of it (e.g. sell or give it away to the employee.)

The selfie example has an explanation under it. Summary: because the video subsurface is square and needs to be clipped to produce rounded corners. Otherwise you would have corners of the video surface protruding from under the corners.

I am testing Frigate for a couple months now. It is a very ambitious project and I would love to see it succeed. Here are the observations: * You don’t actually need hardware decoding or a Coral, but they do help. You will of course need

I wouldn’t be surprised if it had something to do with the Tokyo olympics. Are other cities also green now?

This website from 2004 is more usable than many of the websites from 2023, it is clearly working well enough (or I guess those other websites aren’t doing their jobs right.)

Well, on the other hand GDDR and HBM are two competing technologies both of which are still reasonably alive, with HBM being a promising candidate to replace GDDR for good eventually.

One thing that isn’t clear to me at all, is – what time scales is Edge expected to be suitable for? If I’m a tracking my sensors at home and storing them for a year and then progressively downsampling for successive years (i.e. by no means

I found Flux to be awesome in that it allowed me to express queries that wouldn’t be expressible at all with promQL or SQL. Yes, you could write down a query that was extremely slow, but I rarely hit those cases. Not that I’m going to miss

Wouldn’t it be dangerous to plug this into a device that does not expect to be powered?

I have not seen a compiler that incidentally ICEs (crashes) more than IAR does (experience from c. 5 yrs ago.) Early-days rustc may come close, but experience is likely skewed by my perspective as a rustc contributor too. And then we were a

EPYC SKUs with 3D cache also exist. Though I’m not 100% sure if it uses heterogenous chiplet approach that is seen in consumer RYZEN chips.

There's a non-trivial portion of population that is familiar with the concept of having products fit to them personally: made-to-order uniforms, glasses, other sorts of assistive products. I find it surprising that this is less common

Why bother when KGB hackers can already find a dozen of vulnerabilities just by looking sideways at a closed source project built by the most well-meaning team?

That might have been the flight plan. When drawing these up you don’t typically mark down "experiences an unexpected rapid disassembly a few minutes after launch.”

pkeys are hardware-specific as far as I am aware, and at least last time I tried them didn't work on hardware as recent as zen 1.

To me the TIL is that there are now desktop intel processors that support proper ECC. This no longer being a Xeon-only feature is really neat.

Small embedded devices tend have a serial port of some sort and some ad-hoc protocol or mechanism to trigger metric output. A prime example of this that comes to mind is the P1 port on some of the European electricity meters. This user-acce

Couple ways (on Linux): * You can set a read watchpoint using debugging APIs (ptrace); * You could place the honeypot in a memory page(s) that has its read permission revoked. An attempt to read the page(s) causes a signal to fire. In order

This is how CPU/GPU microcode is loaded too, though… Is that not firmware?
