I had a glance at your Hive paper. Seems like very interesting work. I don't have all the know-how, but if I had the resources, I'd like to build a system where I push compute to a node that essentially is a M.2 SSD glued to a cus

Thanks david for providing that reference. I missed the discussion the first time. Perhaps you, or someone here, would know: has anyone asked and tried to analytically answer what primitive operations an ALU ought to have? I mean, everythin

Ahh, thanks for that. Should have realized that the sun doesn't have a "fixed" surface. It seems that the center, however, has a rotational frequency of about 432nHz which results in a rotation period of 26.8 days. All of the

Um, as the Earth to the Sun, what's the length of the Sun's day with respect to the galactic center. If my knowledge of mechanics is correct, given enough time, all days tend to infinity? (Like the moon's day with respect to

I did post about them earlier. [1] I think there may be some novelty to the design of their "threshold gate" at the silicon level to avoid metastability issues and thus enable their design tool flow. They seem to have since pivote

He's probably referring to SPJ's work on the spineless tagless G-machine [1]. In truth, though, I think trying to incorporate Call-By-Push-Value into Haskell would radically change the language unless there's some research in

Yes, and in turn the TLD operator requires the rootserver operators, am I missing something? It is only appropriate that part the funds they collect be distributed to those that operate the rootservers. By calling it bizarre, I was only ref

by throwaway000002 11y ago
Perhaps Verisign collects funds for the operation of the root nameservers. According to [1], they operate at 107 out of 514 sites. The rest of which are operated by others including 144 by ICANN itself. Bizarre, this setup is. [1] http:&#x

You are absolutely right, but much like having a personal trainer, or a doctor who tells you to eat/exercise right, you have some responsibility in the matter. Moreover, if it were the case that less hand-holding helped produce a more

I don't know anything about neural networks but the video in the article alludes to some advantage in terms of learning on the fly, which I'd appreciate if some expert could clarify. What I'm trying to say is that perhaps the

Since several tangents have already been taken in comments to this story, when are fuel cells for electronics supposed to arrive? I could've sworn they were "just around the corner" about five years ago. [goes off to do a HN

Irrespective of technological hurdles, it takes money for the future to arrive, and "good enough" is often good enough. I still slap myself in reminder that we actually landed on the moon... and came back alive.

With respect to tooling, I believe the work on Lattice ICE40 will be an inflection point. Consider: open tooling drives user device adoption, which in turn drives tooling refinement. At some point people working on the tooling are going to

I understand what you're saying, it's just that in your example (Law of Excluded Middle FTW!) the boolean function is the constant 1 function (on one input). Even I know how to implement that, at least I think so, in a glitch free

I'm not sure if I'm mistaken, but I think the hardware guys get to have MESI because they get to assume their "network", the circuit, is infallible. You can build MESI on paxos, if you wanted. Although I think you'd

Not that the article is particularly detailed, but squinting at the clock diagram for Wave Semi, it appears to be a some kind of token passing, where the token is the clock. I guess this question is for the semi- folks out there: given any
