Is there any advantage to doing it this way over just using a compute module?

The only thing that peaks my interest is the "LGA-style" connector for the raspi. Does anyone have photos of this or the part number?

Why chiplets? Can anyone explain to me why I'd want chiplets as opposed to a processor embedded in a Field Programmable Gate Array? Seems like development would be infinitely cheap…

Sample size 1, but I've got a kid. I've got an ipad. I put the two together in with supervision, and what I've got now is a 4 year old that reads the walls in the bathroom stall wh…

In my youth, I was familiar with the facility that came before NIF, built in the 70's the goal at the time was to use a smaller target to demonstrate that the foundational principl…

My father worked for what was basically a bootstrapped startup at the bleeding edge of computing in the late 80's. Eventually his company, through a series of exchanges was part of…

CO2 may momentarily be one of a convoluted set of factors that contribute to the dominant harmonic component of the system with the output "global temperatures", but it is not in a…

You're implicit assumption is that the system's response to ever increasing CO2 is indefinitely linear and proportional? If you believe that I've got some beans you can buy. This e…

I'd also like to add that how easy an egg is to peel has nothing to do with how you cook it. Truly fresh eggs will not peel wonderfully. If you have some week old Kroger eggs, more…

On that note (interestingly and anecdotally) many of these dams are inundated with ash and sediment that should have flushed downstream from Mt St Helens! The impact of these dams …

I don't always express myself clearly, but I meant that in a more holistic sense. If you were to construct a Venn diagram of remove vs stay in the case of many of the dams in the C…

Thanks for that. I hate to nit pick, but the issues surrounding the dams in the Columbia river basin are so complex and frustrating.. I honestly don't even know who or what is righ…

> As the salmon fisherman will tell you... This is objectively false. Salmon populations are more often than not considered in decline. The fish haven't "figured it out". They marg…

> The IRS knows what you owe and could just tell you if they wanted to. I must admit I've always sort of blindly believed the same thing, but here I am year after year accumulating…

Hilarious that you responded to a post that was about design wasting user time with a _video_ that takes 2.5 minutes to say, "...well, it doesn't necessarily waste that much time. …

do you really think it's likely that they can avoid short term discontinuities in this context? Maybe we should be looking farther ahead?

I'm not sure I completely understand your comment, but I think hierarchy is a structure that is useful for a society when the exchange of information is naturally constricted. Accr…

Honestly I've always shared a perspective much like this until yesterday someone mentioned that through the stimulus (I'm not sure of the figures, but what I roughly recall is) eac…

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure this is interesting. The media seems overly concerned with 'COVID-19' specifically and I'm sure the backers of this project like to see relevant keyword…

I'm not sure I need a tinfoil hat at this point to imply that the people who are supposed to mitigate the effects of this pandemic have no objective quantification of how pervasive…

I was working with Target when they did this roll-out. As sinister as everyone here seems to make it sound, I can assure you at that time it was not . If you're familiar with the i…

Streaming with a custom built NGINX instance? This person is one of maybe 3 in the world that can actually make this work. This blog post is representative of years of life obitera…

Why is this the top post on hacker news? What does this have to do with anything other than anecdotal, hysterical media BS?

I've always been mystified by the modern definition of the word 'nature'. The word itself seems to describe a category without definite bounds. No uniform definition of the word se…
