You can have real time multitasking, the key is to be able to provide bounds and guarantees around execution. Freertos even has SMP on the RP2040 dual core system.

Just about everyone who has ever undergone psychiatric care cannot ever get a medical. There is technically a process but it is extremely difficult and expensive. Some conditions are uniformly disqualifying, for good reasons. But it results

FAA is incentivized to do nothing and sit on its hands. It's a mess. A good quarter of the country is medically barred from ever flying, even solo. The chances of this changing are 0 and it'll get worse. Insert the "who could

Perfect is the enemy of the good. It's a reasonable general purpose choice. Of course don't use it if you have stricter requirements.

Integrating the ssd controller into the soc allows for it to scale with the process used for the soc and also removes what is essentially a multicore system from being an external, potentially compromised unit. This way there is never any c

Good news, Nvidia will now sell you a GPU+NIC+CPU with competitive performance: https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/accelerating-data-center-a... Twitter operates a handful of datacenters because their scale is such that

Great, staple a few ML accelerators to your NIC. Nvidia sells them! You could build an entire supercomputer style setup 100% optimized for Twitter data movement and computation with COTS hardware IMO. I strongly doubt that entire datacenter

How is fp64? Nvidia crippled the 4090 to just 1.3T fp64 flops so if a mac mini with m1 could match that it'd be a solid win

They are declarative vs imperative and sufficiently smart tooling exists such that they can be checked and enforced statically, see liquid haskell and "refinement" typing for an example. Formal verification starts to become a poss

It's significantly less power efficient than was shown off.

Sad. Being able to immediately upgrade all JPEGS to jxl without any reencode loss is huge. And no royalty issues either, plus no need for a much more complex decoder.

If demand spikes then more efficient ways of harvesting heavy water will be invented. It's just not a big commodity.

Apple compromised itself in many ways to save a buck. Hard to feel bad about the chickens coming home to roost.

They have very advanced fabs for non leading edge logic. STM has a major SiC fab or two.

If you ignore latency sure. Optane is still the fastest storage by quite a bit. Flash has yet to catch up and might never do so. Tons of files and random writes can bring even an enterprise flash ssd to its knees but Optane keeps on truckin

Given Meta's resources I'm surprised they didn't go whole-hog with the high accuracy profile (derived from CERN White Rabbit) Why not set up SyncE while you're at it? Not like the hardware cost is any issue and Meta ca

ITAR limits all kinds of things mostly arbitrarily. Fast high resolution ADCs, which anyone can simulate using fast enough low res sampling (any serdes for modern buses) and some math. Thermal cameras can be sold up to a certain refresh rat

AC has to deal with reactance and those associated losses in addition to resistance. AC resistance goes up with frequency because of the skin effect too. This matters for underwater lines especially.

Also virtual particles don't make sense in a non-perturbative regime like room-temp protons, since they are an aid to understanding terms in the perturbation series expansion. Not sure how they even apply in the case where Feynman diag

The key is that wages also rise (not proportionately) in step with inflation but investment returns don't. It matters very little if eggs go up by 10% each year if wages go up by 10% each year. Of course what we have is stagflation: wa

If the alternative is mass unemployment I would rather pay 10% more for eggs Job losses affect the entire economy: the rich don't care since they do not rely employment and wages. In contrast the wealthy are hit enormously by inflation

Anything with a mic input will work. Audio interfaces over USB are plentiful these days though the discrete PC sound card is pretty rare :(
