I mean, there are universities with hardware reverse engineering labs in operation since the very, very beginning of hardware. I’m only persisting with the argument because the myo…

Maybe your university students aren't as well-funded as my university students, ever thought of that, huh? Maybe your universities are lagging behind the state of the art in the re…

Your extreme claims that "nobody is going to do that", while I have actually seen people doing exactly that in modern universities and other reverse engineering institutions, just …

Your pessimism belies a distinct lack of experience, if not also a dearth of imagination. Harnesses for such things are not cheap, nor are they something you can just order from Re…

I use this type of equipment every day. I'm aware of the expense - nobody said it was cheap to do this kind of work. You might be thinking that the hobby-level logic analyzers you'…

It doesn’t matter one bit how you made it, as long as you’ve got someone who is willing to exchange with you, for it. That is the only factor in determining whether something is a …

Yes, I guess I wasn't clear: it's a product if it is exchanged - at all. At any scale. (There was a missing 'any' in my original statement.) You can sell a single product for an en…

I'd rather LLM's just do what they are told and not diminish my agency whatsoever. But yes, that is the crux of the problem indeed. Agency is nothing if you don't have methods to t…

Many laymen confuse logic analyzers with oscilloscopes. Don't take it personally - the person you responded to is clearly not a native English speaker. You absolutely can reverse c…

>A real product has real users, a real market and solves real problems. This misses the mark. A product is something which can be exchanged with others, transferred into their agen…

In fact this aspect of "re-inventing and then congratulating oneself for it" has been a factor in software since the dawn of the subject - it is now with AI/ML, becoming far more e…

Oh that is indeed fascinating! Especially when you consider that it is these kinds of forces at work, at a different scale and medium, anyway. I think some kind of combined water/a…

1-based indexing is really a lame duck argument - if you can't get past that, you're simply being stubborn. You absolutely can have tables indexed at 0 - what you cannot do, is fai…

I have used Lua for years and love it, I don't have any issues with its features, and I've shipped many products with it, across a variety of use cases. I genuinely understand howe…

I have had similar impulses over the years, and I am currently applying myself to learning the fundamentals of pinball mechanisms. It is so satisfying to wind ones own servo and us…

Thank the wisdom of the forefathers for getting the Donau under control and giving us Wieners a great place to sit out the heat.

Drought, not draught. A bit of draught would be kind of nice about now.

Vienna, Austria, checking in .. I'm Australian, been here for decades, this is definitely the warmest I've experienced it. I love it though, feels like home. ;)

They used red light to capture the giant squid pictures ..

I think we're getting pretty close to the point where hardware manufacturers can find a niche use case for these OS's - I put ReactOS and Haiku in this set - and build custom hardw…

Yes, there is an issue with exploration lights effecting native life. Recent attempts to capture a giant squid on video were only realized when they switched the lights off.

They're mining them now. They weren't then.

I think that we are entering a new golden age of language, personally. It has never been easier for a human being to take a corpus and refactor it in a fashion that they can unders…
