I'm truly amazed LLMs can understand ASCII art.

It's great for hardware implementations, because it's simple and you get good/excellent accuracy. I wouldn't be surprised if that's still how modern x86-64 CPUs compute sin, cos, etc. That said, last time I had to d

CORDIC is how it's usually done in hardware (and FPGAs). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CORDIC

I've spent ~$7000 on Apple products last year. I think it'll be $0 this year and going forward. Tired of this kind of crap. (Not only this, but Apple's behavior with EU, etc.)

Niagara-style (at least T1) design would have never worked in an application like this, because it compromised FPU power for the core count. 8 cores shared one FPU! Niagara (all designs) heavily compromised single-thread performance, whic

Just please remember that is not your fault. It would have happened anyways.

Not perfect, but a pretty good resource. I referenced this a lot while developing a USB device driver and a USB stack on the device side.

No doubt about that. Also my fiber optic connection latency increases a bit under load.

I've seen LTE latencies (not 5G) as low as 15 ms for 5+ years. Not saying it's typically that good, but that it can be significantly better than what you're saying.

Can Proxmox do things like vMotion?

There are people who have put their blood, sweat and tears into it. Never a good thing when something dies.

If DOOM can run that way, you can really run anything there.

"One major reason is sprites: Amiga can display 8 4-color sprites, or 4 16-color sprites, and the colors are shared with the bitplanes." Per scanline. However, you can multiplex them with copper to your hearts content. "SNES

Sadly, FUSE is far from fast. Great for quick fixes though, it's crazy to be able to locally mount a disk image that sits on the other side of the world on an HTTP server.

Transportation might be an issue. That's why a lot of natural gas is flared and not sold – selling it is often uneconomical.

Just skimmed the paper ( https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/advs.202305298 ). In section 3.1 cycle life did not really convince me. Eyeballing the chart, on cycle 200, just 82.5% of the capacity remained.

Maybe dinosaurs jumped to another star that time and arranged some fireworks to ensure no one will follow?

For example Amiga and most 16-bit consoles could just have two (or more) playfields (like layers or screen size sprites) superimposed on each other. For the game code those pixels would still be "black", well, transparent, even wi

I think his stated goal is to make humanity multiplanetary, not for him to go there personally. I genuinely hope he'll succeed with that.

It's about control of Tesla. Also Musk's publicly stated goal is to use his fortune to go to Mars.

What makes you think the processor will fault? Many small µc architectures don't fault at any point. If you have an MPU or an MMU (which is generally true for 32-bit microcontrollers), you can just set a range to fault a standard downw

Might be useful in OS kernel programming, when threads are not available. Like in IRQs, etc. My state machines in those contexts are such beasts sometimes, when you have to account for different combinations of DMA progress/completion,
