And how did that IP portfolio come into existence? Did it suddenly materialize out of thin air or… did ARM engineers design it? I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt: in your mothertongue, the meaning of “design” is not as broad as

“No …, no …, just …” And more AI-isms. I think we finally found ground zero: the original author whose work was used to train the LLMs.

I didn’t even know the name for the longest time. It’s only when I wanted to buy some extensions that I realized the cult status of that model, and that’s not (just) because of the name. It’s a truly great design and a shame that it was dis

A Cray-1 had 180M flops. Your phone can emulate it as speeds many times faster.

It’s a more important use case, so CPU vendors throw more resources at it.

While that's theoretically possible, it's even harder than trying to do it over, say, PCIe, because the latter at least still has a higher meaning to it while scan chain FFs are just grouped based on spatial proximity. And of cour

There is absolutely no way that happened. 15 years ago, we're talking Fermi class GPUs and chips with hundreds of millions of bits of on-chip state and much more if you include the DRAM. You can't tease out the right information b

I was hoping for some variant of the FORCEDENTRY iPhone Messages exploit, which built an entire CPU with the PDF fax blitting operations.

Yup! We had a bunch of friends over. Good times were had by all. Finals are boring more often than not. You just have to accept that. And when one of the team’s key skill is suffocating the other side, a game like that was to be expected. O

It also says that he heard glass breaking, thought they were criminals, grabbed a gun and hid behind a door. If you’re going to mention the gun fact, why not provide the whole context?

There’s dirty copyright abuses and lawsuits left and right, but the one that really puts you off is a legitimate case where a little guy actually created something?

I wish lobste.rs would be a tiny bit easier to get access to. Some of my blog posts have been discussed there and every time I try to get access, I can’t get past their IRC stuff. As in: I just don’t understand how IRC works…

The thing that truly changed my life was the Commodore Reference Guide, with schematic, and a book from Data Becker that described the schematic in low level detail. Address decoders, chip selects, tri-state data busses… I had been reading

I started my C64 assembler adventures by manually converting opcodes to hex. Got tired of that real quick. I never had a real assembler, but DISMON was a pretty decent interactive disassembler that even supported code relocation.
