And yet there is clearly a market for easy-to-program MCUs for hobby and educational purposes.

I'll remember that next time I'm developing an FPGA keyboard for my Gateway computer.

Two things here. 1. Trump was president in 2019 and 2020. 2. There is an important difference between a bureaucrat calling up someone at Facebook at arguing a position about policy and the chair of the FCC threatening to remove broadcast li

I, too, remember when Obama has the FCC commissioner threaten to revoke broadcast licenses for the coverage of his tan suit. This type of both-sides-ism is dumb, especially here when one side is using the power of the federal government to

US banks literally collapsed the world financial system in 2008. You don't deserve humble regulation after that. They got, and they deserved, the Dodd-Frank Act, which has now been significantly rolled back.

This gene therapy involves a gene called dystrophin, which is one of if not the largest gene in the human genome. Sarepta is actually using a version called microdystrophin, which is a truncated version. It still barely fits into AAV. Reaso

I've been working on a piece about how humans effectively have hardened firmware, and gene therapies need to do A LOT to try to get around the various defenses our bodies evolved. I should probably finish that article...

NVIDIA is, and will be for at least the next year or two, supply constrained. They only have so much capacity at TSMC for all the chips, and the lion's share of that is going to be going enterprise chips, which sell for an order of mag

I demoed the Apple Vision Pro. It demos incredibly well. And there's very little to do with it. This isn't a problem unique to the Apple Vision Pro. There's still relatively little to do with an Oculus, PSVR2, and many other

If we were on the other side of those galaxies, wouldn't they look like they were spinning counter-clockwise? Or are they measuring spin some other way?

>Asking the LLM for relevant case law and checking it up - productive use of LLM That's a terrible use for an LLM. There are several deterministic search engines attorneys use to find relevant case law, where you don't have to

Folks really over index when an LLM is very good for their use case. And most of the folks here are coders, at which they're already good and getting better. For some tasks they're still next to useless, and people who do those ta
