Writing this with good intentions, not trying to start a fight... --- There are some minor issues with your code that shows you are probably a verilog/SV guy and not an experienced VHDL guy. Please read Andrew Rushtons "VHDL for L

Since you seem to have some experience with these: are the tools hoobyist friendly? (Small install, no need for licences and license renewal, work reasonably well on a cheap laptop)

I think Cypress had a product line that combined a CPU and a small programmable array, just big enough to implement your own custom IO and protocols and maybe some minimal logic beyond that. Maybe that's what most hobbyists need?

This is a Shenzhen company, they probably know 100 different local smartphone OEMs and can order directly from them if they wish.

From my experience with xperia mini the added thickness made it much more comfortable to hold and use.

I 100% agree with you. Their latest flagship is named "1 II" (that's Xperia one, mark two. Someone should be fired for this). Anyway, I was thinking of the original mini line not the later compact line. The first mini, "

If Sony ever brings back Xperia Mini I will be a happy man. I don't want the best camera or the fastest cpu. Can live with a tiny display. Just give me something that can run Android 10 reasonably well in a tiny package and you have my

Didn't Volvo say they would go 100% electric before 2023? They are not as big as VW, but that sure should "all in" to me..

If you have a thesis that goes against well established facts and you meet that by not re-evaluating your stance but by blaming the media for not supporting your altered facts, then yes you are a conspiracy theorist. I don't see where

First of all, there is indeed SIMD code in the kernel. Check out the very beginning of your boot message. More importantly, the kernel needs to support context switch between userspace applications that use SIMD registers. So it touches a b

What people are trying hard to ignore is that we are seeing these numbers _despite_ shutting down the country and everyone using masks and washing hands and avoiding contact. With a business as usual attitude we would see death rates 100 ti

Since you are blindly defending FDTI and blaming the designers, let me add another crucial detail that might change your mind: A lot of fakes were distributed through reputable sources as originals. So you could for example build a medical

Well, the original components costs 1-2 dollar when bought directly from Dallas but you can buy 10 PCBs (with additional supporting components) for $3 on AliExpress. It was extremely obvious to everyone that these were fakes. But... while I

I sort of understand how the FTDI thing happened. They were charging an arm and a leg for an ancient IC, so China cloning it was really a no brainer. Thankfully, 1-2 companies came up with their own competing solutions which you now can buy

This discussion is about avx512, which has shown to have some issues compared to other solutions. Nobody is claiming FP is garbage or that we don't ever need SIMD. Regarding Linus: he is almost always right. He has had more hands-on ex

For general purpose computing maybe. For gaming the GPUs contain special operations for texture lookup and what not that would be very expensive in a CPU.

You would be surprised how often flagging is abused on HN. Say something that puts certain companies (you know who you are) in really bad light and your post will be magically flagged.

Googles decision to give all apps full network access to "improve user experience" was the worst thing that happened to security and privacy.
