Can you list the actual chips you’re referring to and additional sources to follow? I’ve finally started playing with ESP32 and recently getting curious about the smallest possible things out there. Also

There are a few mathematicians that have analyzed and wrote about their process. A recent (IMO) good writing on the subject is David Bessis' "Mathematica" (I found this review https://siliconreckoner.substack.com&#

Yes. This. Also I don't think most software engineers are CS majors, either :)

if you take any system and break it down you get to simple building blocks (like memory). Then you claim that it isn't "outthinking" but "out remembering". Sorry, but what do you think the brain is doing? Not using

I wrote FDM instead of additive manufacturing. I'm referring to is actually in SLS (selective laser sintering) space (which is what you refer as PBF?) What I'm seeing is that companies like Formlabs (plastics) and divergent (metal

I'm not building molds, but I'm actively researching the field in conjunction with my work. Based on what I'm seeing and reading things have changed in the last few years dramatically. Concretely in the selective laser sinter

Yet this is part correct, part wrong. Indeed every industry has some unique challenges that are not directly solvable. However, while a cast is absurdly expensive, the problem is being solved in large part by software in the FDM (3D printin

Yet it's royalty-free and good enough for Espressif (maker of ESP32) to move exclusively to the RISC V open-source instruction set architecture [1]. "Good enough ISA plus zero licensing cost" beats "perfect ISA plus roya

This makes no sense. It would be smart enough to understand but not enough to explain it, or are you assuming the human brain can’t comprehend the world by default?

It’s like it’s made of CVEs. First 50-100 should be a good sign if it’s cleaner to start over.

I think conceptually, the deltas are exactly the type of “basics” Zed is built on.

Cortical Labs has been doing work in this area. They had a Doom demo a while ago. I think it's a matter of tradeoffs. Perhaps you'd have biological version as a versatile all-around thing, but many tasks don't require that so

Ha! Me too - my colleague/friend had a philosophy/political science degree. He was also the funniest person I’ve worked with. Given the volume of text philosophy wrangles, I’m not surprised TAOCP was casual =))

Something I was told when started building in fintech was that the laws are in such a way that its impossible to be 100% compliant in every interpretation. The law is huge, complex and can often have conflicting aspects. This is assumed by

And what else, forbid running workloads outside of US so you can’t offshore workloads? What’s the rationale behind policies that can be detrimental only to US companies?

A distributed system is slower than a laptop or phone by definition of “distributed” which entails a network which has a higher latency than your local system. It’s not about raw speed/latency as much as it is about volume. I used to c

Games like quake are transient and have a small number of users sharing data and if it fails it doesn’t matter enough to need failover, although that could be done relatively easily with a write-ahead log. You need session stickyness at the
