Icosahedron is the classic? I have never ever seen an icosahedron globe in my life, neither real or digital. What in the world happened in the brain or artificial neural network wh…

That usage is not a generic payment usage. This is a use case it is good for. But if 8 billion people should use Bitcoin for their everyday shopping, that is a totally different ca…

Products for children, medical equipment and all things with a radio (nfc, Bluetooth, mobile radios, WiFi +++) requires an external accredited lab. You can test electronics without…

You can’t self certify any products including a radio (almost everything today due to WiFi and BLE), products for children or medical equipment. An accredited lab is required.

The pre certified module do not exempt the product from testing. It only means that you don’t have to do the conducted testing and that it’s a higher probability for passing the ot…

The article doesn’t mention certification, which is expensive and demanding, but required for any product containing a radio to be legal to sell.

Very interesting. I tried to make a tree based agent two years ago but back then the LLM couldn’t manage to navigate the tree effectively. But today everything is different: better…

Wasn’t also the graphics driver moved to kernel space in XP? A good performance boost at the cost of unrecoverable crashes if the driver failed.

The issue with COBOL code is that it’s hidden. It’s mostly internal systems so little code available for training. HTML, TypeScript, JavaScript, C, etc, are readily available, bill…

Reminds me of old Mercedes and BWMs with built-in NMT phones in their console. The cars lasted a lot longer than the NMT standard for mobile phones.

The Amiga is quite another beast, especially showing photos in HAM mode, giving 4096 colors.

She’s a good writer, I really enjoyed the article. It was one topic regarding being a writer today I was curiously waiting for while reading: gpt. Nothing can be more transforming …

I liked the piece on corruption. You say it’s not everyone, it’s the system. I think it might be the culture, not the system? It has become the culture of the country to think that…

There’s a new generation that played Minecraft when they where kids, so a new generation of nostalgia ;)

From a PCB layout and supply chain perspective, it’s a big difference.

While the ESP32 is great for many applications, it’s not for battery operated stuff. When an nRF draws 1-2 mA when using BLE, ESP32 will draw 40 mA. And the chip they selected is e…

I think that conclusion is wrong, they are absolutely for beginners. No bed leveling. Lidar scan of first layer. Filament sensors. Good software. Enders are sold to beginners but y…

This is the obligatory comment on every ray casting game calling itself Doom like. I was scrolling down the page, checking if I had to add it, but luckily it was already done :-D

The goal for this flight was not to reach orbit, and they said that 30 seconds would be a perfect launch. They managed 20 seconds and say they look at it as a successful first laun…

One is named “Core 2 Duo”. I think that name is taken.

The issue I first think about if HTML goes away and the web is WASM blobs instead is text. Accessibility, rendering, all the different languages. The amount of code in the browsers…

Is the steep climb in 2021 due to Apple Silicon entering the scene? Or maybe not, servers seem to follow the same pattern. It’s a remarkable increase in performance on a short time…

Today, with swichmode supplies, I think DC would make most sense. We lose much power to frequency deviation and inductive loads causing phase shift. It would also make sense to hav…

Autonomous isn’t a problem, the open source firmwares for drones include fully autonomous mode. I don’t know if this particular one does but it should be easy to port. The size and…

Do you really need the phone? The dual core 240MHz ESP32 seems to be able to do the job at lower weight and power consumption. Maybe the old phone is better used as a controller?
