Yes, this algorithm is called JBIG2.
Fiduciary responsibility also requires long-term thinking. If AI is writing the code, I need the smartest, most well-rested supervisors I can get.
As much as I would have loved to get out in sooner than six years, I tend to agree. In hindsight, if I'd treated it like a job and just done the coding and writing necessary to get the projects I published out the door,…
Intel's platform, at the very least, use cache-as-ram during the boot phase before the DDR interface can be trained and started up. https://github.com/coreboot/coreboot/blob/main/src/soc/intel...
It should be noted that the final design for UTF-8 was sketched out on a placemat by Rob Pike and Ken Thompson.
IPv6 is arguably a good example of what happens when you don't do the simplest thing possible. What we really needed was a bigger IP address space. What we got was a whole bunch of other crap. If we had literally…
We could really take a page from this style for teaching advanced computing. We try to imagine that architectures just kind of come out of nowhere. Starting with mechanical computing and unit record equipment makes so…
They're in the process of doing this for alums @hmc.edu too. Google baited us into moving the whole infrastructure into the cloud and now are switching us to something the alumni association can't afford. Meanwhile, the…
I'm always amazed by Crispix. It's not a heterogeneous material, it's not a poured mixture of two parts, it's not a coated material, it's an assembly. And you can eat it by the handful.
Ultimately, most good ideas were first implemented by Fabrice Bellard.
By comparison, if you steal as an infant, you get off easy. If you steal as an adult, you don't. Screwing up parallel parking is a mistake, plagiarism is not.
My first real "server hardware" was a Sparcstation 5 I bought under a bridge at the Dallas first Saturday swap meet. I was maybe... 15? Before that, it was Linux on whatever commodity PC my dad had passed down to me.…
Would be awfully fun to emulate this. With new maps from OSM... On Android Auto...

No, but what is it? Not your lawyer, not legal advice, but it's not a trade secret, they've given it to researchers. It's not a trademark because it's not an origin identifier. The structure might be patentable, but the…
One of the three 777 accidents is being shot down by a Russian SAM.
The NG has been produced since 1997 and there are essentially no pre-NG aircraft in Western service. The NEO is equivalent to the MAX.
The 737 has also been around a lot longer. The 737NG has a rate of 0.07 compared to the A32x's 0.09. The A330 is 0.19 while the 777 is 0.18. But even this is kind of misleading. All but three of the fatalities (total…
There's a middle ground between "hardware store crap" and "custom." The aviation industry has plenty of standard interior lighting and environmental control system that's known not to light people on fire or short out…
It's still Load/Store, but ARM Thumb2 uses gnarly variable-length instructions.
Hell, with non-maskable interrupts, any instruction can cause a trap!
Vicuna is a delta model that you have to apply on top of LLaMA.
I had an Athlon 800 machine that I used with BeOS as a daily-use machine. The biggest issue was that it played audio about 10% too fast. BeAmp would let you vary playback speed so I just tuned it to a tuning fork I had…
I never had problems with [initials]@[short university name].edu, but my current email address, of the form n@nnn.nn, causes all sorts of problems with filters. My newest favorite bug was Adobe's password rules which…
It's gotta be embedded stuff. The Space Shuttle GPC was constantly reprogrammed, including on the pad. They've sent patches to the Voyager spacecraft as recently as a few years ago [1]. 45 years, not too bad! 1 -…
