Hardware companies are notoriously bad at software. The software they use sucks, the languages they use suck, the internal tooling software they write sucks. They don't know what g…

>Schrödinger's China at once is an evil entity looking to use AI for their own nefarious purposes yet also willing to cooperate with their main competitor to prevent other actors (…

There's also information in the compiler and the zip binary, without that I'm pretty sure it's not possible.

KVM has a much larger attack surface than Xen

Chinese is also written left to right

If you prefer the term person to avoid confusion, fine by me. But then also don't use the term "experimenting on humans", because the meaning of that is experimenting on persons ag…

Testing on early stage embryos is a thing yes. They have no brain, no heartbeat, feel no pain. Yes, they could potentially develop into a human being, but I wouldn't call it a live…

Here in Belgium it's the other way around. we've had IPv6 for over 10 years for basically all home internet, but mobile is still ipv4 only. Not sure why since it's all the same com…

No Korea and Japan? Aren't most of the big non-Chinese battery companies Korean and Japanese?

It is far from solved in IC, synthesis tools sometimes still do really stupid things and there's still quite a lot of hand-holding required to get to a working chip.

I can't imagine humanity, let alone any company or the stock market survive runaway AI.

Median doesn't say anything about the extremes and income isn't wealth.

Bicycle bells can be used to warn other cyclists

Real hardware has clock trees. Wouldn't all (most?) problems with delta cycles go away if the HDL understood the concept of clocks and clock balancing?

In a way is further away, but in another way it's actually closer to how real hardware works: Clock (and reset) trees are real physical things which exist on all digital chips.

Is it really if you restrict yourself to sensible design practices? You generally want to simulate simple clocked Logic with a predefined clock, most of the time anything else is a…

I'm not sure if you are trolling. 99.999% of digital design is "if rising edge clk new_state <= fn(old_state, input)", with an (a)sync reset. The language should make that the defa…

Those are analog circuits, if you put them in your digital design you are doing something wrong.

The real question is, why do we even need this? Why don't VHDL and Verilog just simulate what hardware does? Real hardware doesn't have any delta cycles or determinism issues due t…

Don't you need to register and actively defend you trademark for it to apply?

I think we'll be soon at the point where articles are written by asking AI to extend a three point bullet list to 30 pages, and read by asking AI to summarize articles into a three…

Another possible benefit I've heard of is it can stop some kinds of voter intimidation: Someone gets hand of an empty ballot, they fill in the ballot and give it to you and tell yo…

If the maintainers are already bandwidth limited, how is first asking annoying questions not also a drain on that bandwidth?

I can understand drive-by features can be a net burden, but what is wrong with a drive-by bugfix?

I configure it in the firmware of my keyboard with QMK
