> How do these people stay motivated to do anything. It can't just be money, right? It’s making money to spend quality time with loved ones and pay the bills. For some people that’s enough (no judgement).

I was excited to check out lecture videos thinking they were public, but quickly saw that they were closed. One of the things I miss most about the pandemic was how all of these institutions opened up for the world. Lately they have been cl

This is awesome! I’ve given up learning graphics programming in the past due to the fragmented ecosystem of libraries. It just felt overwhelming. This seems exactly what I’ve been missing.

I was at a talk given by the president of Embraer-X (that's an Embraer subsidiary that looks into these riskier ventures), and he got into the details of how they validated their business plan of using these vehicles for urban transpor

I have faced this myself, and the aimless excitement can create a lot of frustration in new programmers. Programming is a unique tool in the sense that it has the ability to glaringly show the programmer's lack (or wealth) of vision.

I have been journaling for 2 years on and off. In the beginning it had extremely positive effects on my development as a person. After a while the sense of effectiveness that came from writing constantly started to fizzle out and I'd f

I find it very interesting that you mention looking at the history of ISA's first in order to understand the current iteration of the technology. I was reading the RISC-V privileged ISA recently and the amount of seemingly arbitrary re

It doesn't really answer my question, but from what I've seen in the TOC I'd say it's equivalent to an introductory course on computer architecture + computer systems and some cryptography as well. Kind of an introductio

Yeah, as I've read other responses to my post I've been able to better define my difficulties in understanding CPU-GPU communication. I was having a hard time separating the MMIO concept from the communications protocol that ties

Yeah, your explanation really hits the nail in regards to what I was trying to understand - MMIO coupled with all of that bus dynamic of a master and slave going on. It's clear to me now that my knowledge gap resides in not knowing eno

Wow. Just skimmed across that chapter and that looks like a great resource. No wonder I couldn't find it in any of my searching sessions, I'd never think a book titled like that would cover hardware concepts so extensively. This w

It’s very unfortunate to read such a statement - Isaacson’s “The Innovators” is an amazing book that never lost its objectivity throughout my readings.

Yeah, the Pi would definitely be a better choice for this but even the Pi Zero would be 2x the price of the ESP32CAM I'm using (which in the country I live isn't as cheap as in the US). > I've had a small amount of experie
