Not to be dismissive, but how does that differ from any other consulting/work for hire job? Most projects in embedded devices are exactly the same. - a price tag is fixed by negotiation around estimates - more and more stuff is pushed

A LOT of people here seem to be very willing to tax unrealized gains. I hope you all know that that would kick gentrification into hyperdrive and force a whole lot of people out of their homes.

My team handles all code, documentation and release through Github. I was asked (more like forced to) have someone in my team copying zips of our releases and converting all code documentation into google doc files (with company logo, pro

To me the most interesting part of this debate is that the majority of commenters here have pretty quickly jumped to “merit is luck because intelligence is luck”, which it’s pretty much impossible to make compatible with the concept of free

As someone who suffered it, it was way worse. There was “ingeniería informatica”, which was kind of CS, but focused highly on software (databases were a significant part of the curriculum). Then there was “licenciatura informatica”, alt

Using NN for cache management is not that new, and is a simpler approach in comparison to Intels as far as I know.

I don’t know if it’s “cheap” but It’s probably cheaper than the monolithic alternative right?

In short, yes, higher capacity will involve higher latency. The thing here is balancing core speed vs “effective” memory latency (factoring in cache hits, misses, etc). Cache management is a hard problem, and the equilibrium point is load d

“Simpsons paradox is rare” might well be true, but is quite the stretch from what the author shows. Self reported opinion data is a very specific dataset to begin with.

PWM periods and on-time are implemented in the time domain in hardware, so my guess would be issues with integer algebra. Some hardware implementations are notoriously weird on edge cases. Some manufacturers built PWM modules so 0 setting o

1.5ºC is the lower bound for the estimated target. In any case, the 2ºC nominal target was mostly arbitrary. For those unaware, the problem with measuring global temperatures is that we can measure variation (relative values) with great acc

Probably quite poor. FR4 boards are built with woven fibers, and you can get measurable differences depending on how tight the weave pattern is, or the angle of your transmission line relative to the weave pattern. Given that paper is not

Maybe it’s me, but I think “fierce” has thrown a lot of people off. I would classify what you are describing as what PG terms “the bitter nerds”, not necessarily “fierce”.

Google and Netflix did campaigns for NN. So did Facebook and other internet and media companies. One of the most successful was the John Olivers Last Week Tonight piece. I saw some evidence later that the ‘evidence’ provided in that piece

Yes there is, because none of what you mentioned is “the problem”, the problem is that all these practices are deliberately put into practice without users consent, or by trying to trick users into inadvertently give consent.

I’ve said this before, and even looked into it, but my abilities with web/app development are non existent. Can we get a app/service to read these in some sensible way? That would be awesome.

This is nothing new, it’s just the MBA syndrome. Go to any MBA school and they’ll tell you how sales is a clear “profit center”, while engineering is a “cost center”, and that companies are made more profitable by “internalizing profit cent

I’m just hoping we get soon to the collapse of bitcoin so we can either normalize better cryptos or just abandon the concept of cryptocurrency as a whole. Right now we are just inflating the proverbial balloon until it pops.

Well, the primary difference is that cloud providers go through HDDs almost as consumables, while RAM and SSD are generally more long lasting. Contracts are set up in similar ways, but HDDs in general have more constraints baked in those co
