Yeah, I read that note and stopped looking further. I was hoping that maybe the hardware-specific code was in a different project and just wanted to be nice in case. I just don’t get the point of making AI slop out of…
Looks like a fun project, but I’m curious what you actually tested on. There’s real numbers for estimated context switch timing, and you mentioned implementing context switching, but I can’t find any actual…
> It is precisely to avoid running Linux and the "wealth of drivers". Why not? I understand not wanting to deal with unnecessary complexity as a hobbyist, but you'll find yourself creating far more complexity trying to…
ST seems to consistently put out faster chips [1]. I think the better question is why bother though? The real reason to use a Cortex-M is determinism in hard real-time systems. I'm sure DDR3 and PCIe would be cool in an…
Calling this "hardware-based security" is somewhere between disingenuous and dangerously naive. Hardware-based security normally implies hardware with a dedicated secure element with cryptographic identities which are…
I actually agree with that completely. I just want it to be clear that this is a conscious business decision that apple is making and not the result of technical challenges. I think the distinction is important because…
Again there is no technical rigor behind these notions. Video providers didn’t like the idea of untrusted HDMI devices scraping video from DRM protected content so they came up with HDCP, which allows anyone to develop…
I truly don’t understand how these types of comments keep appearing under any discussion of apple’s blatantly anti-competitive behavior with messages. This doesn’t even make sense on technical grounds; it would be…
While I agree with the ultimate conclusion of the article, that FAA regulations need to be modernized for commercial use of sUAS systems, it completely fails to analyze any of the other relevant dynamics facing the…
I’d love to see some data supporting this argument because I’ve heard it over and over from people all over the political spectrum the past few years but it just doesn’t line up with any data. You act like they’re…
What a disaster for ARM. Qualcomm building out new chips targeting the pc market should have been a victory lap for ARM, not the source of a legal battle with their largest customer. Now potential customers might be a…
Your understanding is not correct. Chevron deference never meant agencies can just make up and pass law; it was a legal doctrine which merely stated that in places where the law is ambiguous (say a law declares water…
Everyone else is missing the point here. SMIC (China’s main semi fab) isn’t the company manufacturing these chips. They haven’t broken into anything close to 3nm-class chips yet. This just means that TSMC is going to…
Clearly, I'm surprised there isn't a spam filter that detects this obvious attack.
I bought one of the M5Stack's devices expecting it would work out of the box with my ESP-IDF code, I was quite disappointed to realize that I had to adapt their code myself. I'm hopeful that this merger encourages…
For what it's worth I'm not either and absolutely agree with your point, it just felt like that was the more important argument but not the one people were engaging with.
It feels like every comment on this article didn’t read past the first paragraph. Every comment I see is talking about how they likely barely made any money on the transition once all costs are factored in, but they…
I find your reaction intriguing since I had nearly the opposite reaction. Especially when it comes to the second piece I had little to critique about it technically (maybe a little from a structural standpoint but not…
Oh absolutely, I agree. I just wanted to make certain it was clear that it isn’t as simple as classifying images as words.
It’s not really, ASL is it’s own distinct language from English, like most sign languages. ASL is most closely related to French Sign Language, which still isn’t anything related to French and has its own linguistic…
> I just can't express my architecture in such an abstract form whose logic-level simulations (without considering delays, area, routing, power and clock rate) will give a clear indication of win. Why not? There are…
General purpose processors and FPGAs are entirely different and share very few components or architectural characteristics. Setting that aside, if you have some revolutionary design for an architecture, that should…
Yea that's my mistake, but not really the point I was trying to make.
Not necessarily, the issue here isn't that training on public code should be illegal, it's merely that the models trained on such data should be considered derivative works under the licenses which the code is released…
