Oh wow, the AD936x series was impressive for its I/Q calibration. Still is I guess, because there's been no compelling alternative even a decade later. As I mostly deal with single channel applications, I get to use…
Yeah, jitter doesn't matter too much at low frequency IF. I/Q calibration is more likely to be the bottleneck. That and close-in spurs from the fractional PLLs. I have very little experience with MIMO / phased-arrays,…
The really intriguing part is the "Custom ADC" here, seems like some kind of 1-bit ΣΔ oversampling ADC (704 MSPS?). Single differential transistor, and captured by FPGAs LVDS RX. Neat way to reduce cost and pin-count?…
Only if the difference in signal power is high (>40 dB). It’s like saying collisions aren’t a problem in situations where no collision actually occurs.
Wish the proponents of stricter immigration would push for a proper national ID first. Right now you have all the cons anyway, with none of the pros. A stitched-up database that has no laws attached to prevent its…
For the established players, it's the battery supply chain that's the main issue. Rest can be locally-sourced or manufactured. Makes them very nervous, having to import when tariffs and rules change everyday. My city in…
The explanation is that the trusted brands (in 2Ws) are just now rolling-out EVs, the market is very conservative and home charging likely isn't an option if one's renting. The cheaper variants now have enough range to…
It's the opposite IME, most petrol two-wheelers are massive money sinks past 5 years of ownership. You will likely spend close to original price in maintenance and repairs, with most models developing "unfixable" issues…
Leasing land for solar pays very little. The only reason people do it is because the land has no better use and solar doesn’t permanently damage it the way mining or farming could. Other industries aren’t being priced…
Talking more about some unrelated function taking down the whole system, not advocating for "offline" credit card transactions (is this even a thing these days?). Ex: If the transaction needs to be logged somewhere, it…
Those are examples where they shouldn't be using public cloud in the first place. Should build those services to be local-first. Using a different, smaller cloud provider doesn't improve reliability (likely makes it…
It's "legal" at first glance but it's effectively banned in most cases. No monetary compensation, only direct relatives, only traditional pregnancy, etc. It's outright banned (commercial) in most of EU. In most…
Being gay isn't the choice here, choosing not to act on your attraction/desires is. Might feel nitpicky but a very important distinction.
Having kids is half the reason (or more) for such marriages, nothing completes the nuclear family picture quite like it. And not like it's easy for gay couples in accepting environments to have kids either, surrogacy is…
Grace and Frankie (tv show) deals with some of this, don't think I'm the target audience but I enjoyed it as 20-30 year old.
Yup. All the inconvenience of unmanaged, just to get worse uptime and performance? Who wouldn't want that.
The "omg centralized infra" cries after every such event kind of misses the point. Hosting with smaller companies (shared, vps, dedi, colo whatever) will likely result in far worse downtimes, individually. Ofc the…
People who don't need that, also don't care much for an hour or two of service disruption. Most users will have far worse disruptions with the alternatives.
Might be the first time I have ever seen that. Though in my case the "Host" is Cloudflare's own Pages service.
A bit unrelated, but are there any recent benchmarks comparing it with native perf? Hard to believe it can compete with V8 JIT anytime soon. Might be easier to integrate fast vector libraries within javascript engines.
No mention of the actual weight here but a quick search says 165 grams. Not as light as I expected.
If you can print the money required with no bad consequences, go right ahead and build all the redundancies. The problem with bleeding-edge fab is it's a (fast) moving target. It's not a solved problem. And customers…
Samsung is already in a much better position for this. They have external customers and experience facilitating them. Unlike Intel's track record which doesn't inspire confidence at all.
Monopolies with strong demand for their products will happily pass on the costs, and then some. The delicate balance between encouraging demand while maintaining margins. On the political side of things, they can use…
Their US facilities are purposefully NOT bleeding-edge, and also cost more. And this version of Intel can't, maybe a different one that fully separates design and foundry could. The best solution long-term would be to…
