That might have been a bargain if you could have done it during peak Covid. Having the capability to make them is worth a lot in resilience.

Yeh I don't know why the emphasise the 'neural engine' - it's their stonking RAM bandwidth that just blows everything else out of the water.

Nested virt on x86 is curiously painful; you'd kind of think each layer would be isolated, so that the L0 (hardware) would only have to worry about it's VM (L1), and L1 would have to worry about it's VM (L2); but nope - the L

As I understand it, that they've gone back to the point of making the ovary and the egg itself is going through Meiosis helps here, because it's got the randomness of picking genes between the pair of chromosomes in the source.

Do you need to fit that many sensors around the edge or can you rotate the ring of fewer sensors?

Yeh, it had 'kerfuffle' as one of the last words but that's very common. Yet it had Zenzizenzizenzic (which I'd never heard of but I think I guessed it right) It really could do with a summary showing the answers you mad

nice work although, the level of marketing of calling your device 'high density...17 quantum devices' or having the bold '50 devices in the last four weeks' - does say there's some way to go!

You do have to worry/wonder how many people are in psych hospitals, jail, or 6ft under when something like this might be the reason.

one of the articles lines is more generally interesting 'In mammals, neurons in the spleen can communicate with macrophages, and in both mammals and birds, these neurons also connect to the central nervous system.'.

Perhaps the uncertainty is more to do with the public being able to see this new tech; think what's happened in those 30 years, some of which you as a techie would have been well aware of but most people were clueless about. Those o

Were the ICU nurse and Doctor trained for the tandem jump previously - I've not seen that said in any of the stories published. Or did they just find a random ICU nurse and Doctor who was up for it?

Haha it's a fun finding though; The source control comment feels a little off; I'm sure there were SCCS (hmm or did cvs use similar?) still around at that time.

Damn that's very impressive - for a long time Android had a lot of hopeless accelrometer, audio scope, etc apps, and it's always been hard to add your own stuff to it. Sounds very very neat!

To me it seems an artefact of the x86 architecture; where any sane architecture just declared split locks illegal, x86 has some gently hidden away note about it being a bad thing.

I suspect it's the risk of deadlocks and perhaps they have no easy way to avoid it.
