Wow. An entire country can accidentally be hosed if their domain name used by their NS expires? Is it that perilous?

I hope we never find out what happens if the US internet goes down. But with 2020's track record and what 2021 is starting to look like, we might find out!

Same here! Last night a friend from India popped up on signal. I told him "Welcome!" and he said "You finally wore me down, I've left WhatsApp and I'm trying to move my family off …

> Everything is a Command Line This is a really controversial pattern for GUIs. In one camp, the GUI is really a skin over the CLI that acts like a virtual user, translating GUI in…

BYTE ftw! Typing in Apple //e ASM code for hours and hours... ... and hours ... and then later, 2600 magazine.

I'm glad to have this to read. It brings back memories of hanging out at the local RC shop that sold D&D stuff, back in the 80's. What I've always wanted to read area transcripts o…

Oops! Thanks, it was from this challenge. Lots of neat stuff in here. http://dcase.community/challenge2021/index

Oh. I see what you mean. Yeah, I guess by definition backwards propagation is trial-end-error. Huh, I never thought of it that way. Thanks for clarifying, I thought you were being …

Well, if your only experience is reading python opencv stack overflow posts, then of course...

This article is dead-on, but I think it is missing a fairly large segment of where ML is actually working well: anomaly detection and industrial defect detection. While I agree tha…

This question has raged since the 90's. I worked on the Itanium (Madison and McKinley), and the VLIW architecture was brilliant. This was during the time of the Power4 and the DEC …

Ah, good info. Thanks.

That only lists the number, not what the # actually means in terms of actual lithography or more importantly, transitor performance. It used to be minimum feature size, or just L o…

> 3-5 times behind TSMC lithographically, I'm not entirely sure that is true. TSMC plays fast and loose with their definition of node. Any fab folks want to speak up? What I mean b…

Yeah, agreed. The designers / integration will probably get the newest nodes--and the headaches with getting their yields up! I suspect the older high-yield nodes will be filled wi…

Good observation. The only thing that kept MS going was the massive inertia of Win & Office. It bought them time to pivot to the cloud. And now we have things like VSCode, an Elect…

Intel innovates in process. Everything else is ruled by backwards compatibility and frenetic management scared to stay the course. (The vast majority of projects are killed if they…

Nope, I can't find it on Google. Nada. Even on Wayback. It may have been internal but I definitely remember it. It was pope Benedict.

Gelsinger was pushed out as CTO after horribly failing to address AMD's competitive threats. I have no idea how he wormed his way back in, but this does not bode well for Intel's f…

Your content isn't anonymous: who you are is distilled from what you say, creating a unique fingerprint. Doesn't matter if you your name is hnaccy or SoSoRoCoCo. I change details, …

I ate a banana off a tree I happened upon while hiking in a small jungle in Tobago (north of Venezuela). It was awful, and a reminder how cultivation is such a fascinating science.…

Mastodon is the place to make this happen (IMHO): https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon

Both, For Sure. :)
