    I'm working on the vision component of a drone racing stack. Could I use GS to render my living room as a digital playground to train my vision models in? I know nothing about the …

    I wish you didn't just put this information in my brain.

    My only point was that Canada has more to lose than the US if we start taxing journeys through each others countries. A lot of commenters missed that.

    While you make a strong point, I'm not ready to cede it. Canada has winter storms that will close that road, albeit for shorter periods of time than the boulder situation. Being ab…

    What a lot of commenters cheering this headline might not know is that there is only one single internal road connecting east and west canada which regularly closes. Most commercia…

    I definitely tried to web search with ChatGPT a few weeks ago and it couldn't. I don't think I'm making this up. Unless I suffered a TBI.

    Excited to see how this compares to Perplexity or Gemini. I remember that ChatGPT used to be able to search the web, but last I checked it it couldn't. I wonder why they removed th…

    A while back I tried to apply this same principle to an iphone case that tazes you at random when you hold it for longer than 5 minutes. I gave up on the idea for a number of reaso…

    I'll tell you how I learned, I got thrown head-first into a network switch design. I knew almost nothing about networking. The most useful resource while I was learning was RFC1812…

    I think he meant 100MHz. In case he actually meant 100GHz, I would gently remind him that light only travels ~3mm in 10ps

    I am old enough to remember when we needed to switch to plastic bags over paper to "save the trees"

    My favorite riff on this: at a previous job we worked on a 12GHz SERDES, which meant each inch of the cable had a different data bit on it

    Welcome to Hardware Design! The open-source toolchains come from hell. The closed-source options are supremely expensive and not much better They don't call it EasyWare

    As someone who just picked micro USB over USBC for a development card, there is a significant price and footprint size difference between the two.

    Thanks for that, looks interesting. One note, their website [1] claims 5uA/MHz, not 1 [1] https://ambiq.com/apollo4/

    I also happen to be working on an ultra-low power project with an ESP32. It is hard to beat that 5uA deep-sleep current!

    No love for NXP in this thread? They make a very similar peripheral called FlexIO [1] on devices like the K32. >[FlexIO is a] Highly configurable module providing a wide range of f…

    One of the main benefits of using an FPGA is that you can compensate for trace length mismatch with timing constraints

    That's pretty typical for hardware development. You software people have it too good!

    And how does their fertility rate compare? Actually I'll tell you, Sweden's is 1.66, the USA is 1.64. South Sudan, the poorest country in the world, is 4.54
