All the while, Linux is going towards reproducible builds (Debian just announced it as a policy). This is of course the only sane way for FOSS, and, I believe, the only sane long term approach in any case. Security by…
Sorry, SM-4 not SM-1, was a full emulation of 11/40, with UNIBUS, and all. There were DEC copyright strings latent in some system files. It was a pretty good copy, but quite unreliable, and the reason was quite…
No, they disassembled German optics industry plants in 1945, moved them to the Soviet Union and started cranking out great cameras based on German designs. I've heard that some Soviet cameras had Leica labeled parts…
Important factor is that AC at given nominal voltage V swings between 1.41V and -1.41V, so it requires let's say 40% better/thicker insulation than the equivalent V volts DC line. This is OK for overhead lines (just…
An advanced AI rack might use 100kW = 800V 125A, requiring gauge 2, quarter inch diameter---this isn't your lol speaker wire. Actually, I apologize, I realized I may be talking to a serious audiophile, didn't mean to…
Maybe LLMs are like a next evolution of a rubber ducky: you can talk to it, and it's very helpful, just don't expect that IT will give you the final answer.
Pretty much every laptop on the planet will run Linux. Maybe your optics are tinted because you seem to be a Mac person, and Linux support for newer Macs has known issues with low power modes. I note how your 12+ hour…
Linux will run on most platforms, so just pick up a fast, lightweight laptop, and select a conservative power profile for longer battery life and less heat, and don't run 32-thread machine learning jobs on it. A 12-hour…
apparently all Western Digital drives have a RISC-V controller, as well as NVIDIA graphic cards https://riscv.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Tue1100_Nvidia_... WCH makes a microcontroller that sells for around 10 cents;…
It is just two years younger than the University of Constantinople, established in AD 425 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Constantinople
