It seems very unlikely that someone would be able to "apply the edit to a partially finished chip". The adding of a fix like this is probably some of the most scrutinized processes in hardware design. After spending years designin

I have my old CD collection ripped to .wav and served up via DLNA device. It would be nice if Echo worked with DLNA devices so I did not have to redo all this work.

Oracle's Labs division does a mix of fundamental research and very long term product development. One way to tell how much fundamental research a company is doing is to see how much partnering they do with universities and DAPRA, altho

Its not that simple. Smaller transistors switch faster and consume less dynamic energy in the process. But the smaller the gate the worse the transistor is at being able to turn off the current and leakage current starts to become an issue

Actually this chip is not _that_ far off. It has 5 billion transistors so with a process shrink and a board with 10-20 of these chips it should be roughly equivalent to the number of neurons in a human brain. Now think of your home with abo

From the article "When running the traffic video recognition demo, it consumed just 63 milliwatts of power. Server chips with similar numbers of transistors consume tens of watts of power" and "laptop that had been programed

While researching this I found a tremendous resource that goes in to pretty good depth of all the alternatives for grid level storage: http://www.sbc.slb.com/SBCInstitute/Publications/~/media/Fil...

It seems to me that the molten salts make the most sense and seems to be the farthest along: https://www.solar-reserve.com The case for small scale electric storage seems less obvious to me https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

Warren Buffet's advise is great but I have never understood why he picks S&P 500 vs the Nasdaq? If you look at almost any time period the Nasdaq has outperformed the S&P by at least 1% (Annualized Growth Rate) which compounded

Based on the context I would assume he means someone that has a deep understanding of which parts of the system can be powered down during certain events, can figure out what the system bandwidth requirements are going to be and how to bala

I am surprised I have not seen anyone mention this yet but a simple regression with line coverage enabled would have caught this. Is it not common in the software community (I do mainly Hardware) to run regularly with line coverage? This se
