Nvidia Tegra[1]. It allows for machine vision and heavy maths to be executed very fast. There is basically nothing similar in an embedded format in the market. The remainder would be SoCs for Android phones (Samsung Exynos?). Thsese SoCs ha

I am a hard core open source guy and make a living with it. It gives me huge grief to see people complaining about red hat. Red hat employs many many people and contributes a big lot. I personally do not like RHEL but worked in a company th

Interesting that it is already not about fossil fuels but about electricity as if it can only be generated with CO2 emissions. > There's one sure strategy for beating climate change and no one dares speak it out loud. You also did n

Schwarznegger recently said it very simple. Think of climate change as just another form of pollution. Pollution is unhealthy. “I’m on a mission to go and reduce greenhouse gases worldwide,” Schwarzenegger told CBS, “because I’m into having

Luck plays a huge role in our lives. We are born completely on top of others' achievements and grow on them for a long time: family, society and state. Even the chance for us to differentiate is that, a chance. Only when there starts t

It depends on how much you want to spend on optics. The optics fit as slots, so you can put a standard mirror(0.8) and depending on the number of reflections(let us assume 6) you will have 0.8^6=25%. From what I researched at the time, in m

More accurately it is about vertical greenhouses not having a path to profitability. My first invention was a machine that concentrated solar power, and then distributed to different levels of the vertical farm. Basically piped solar light.

I have some sympathy for contrarians, not because of their accuracy but because they are the canary in the mine for freedom of speech. Wrong statements also give the opportunity for argument and thus replacement of dogma with reasoning. I u

I do when i can. I have protonVPN but then most of the times i get banned from usual sites or get captioned to hell. I kind of gave up, as I believe this is the natural outcome of having real anonymity: abuse.

You ended up providing examples that have no matter or atoms: protecting jobs, or oversight of complex systems. These are policies which are a purely imaginary. Only when they get implemented into human law do they get a grain of substance

If 1/x where x is the current age, then yes. I say it as a joke but makes me think why more mundane experiences on my childhood stuck more than profound ones on later life.

The choice of death is a very good point. One would argue that the difference between a natural death and a death sentence is the knowledge and control of your life’s termination. If people decide to end themselves that is suicide, and if s

For me the anti aging, immortality thing is funny because I think it has been solved for most species: it is called reproduction. Actually surviving is reproducing. If anti aging proponents spent as much time trying to reproduce and making

The issue with burner cards is that if you do not actually cancel the subscription and just fail to pay, I think can be liable for payment delinquency and accumulate charges and possibly interest. I used a burner for Financial Times and t

There is a huge amount of tooling relying on DT_NEEDED for dependency detection. I am not so sure about general purpose Linux, but in the embedded Linux world this would be a disaster. The Yocto system for example would no longer be able to

Very much absurd. A user above posted GPGPU, which I guess stands for General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit. In the beginnings of computation these kinds of cards were called accelerators. Dedicated consumer sound cards were a thing, the
