Looks like an interesting software project, bringing powerful and cool libraries to the arduino ecosystem. Too bad they chose the "let's make a redundant copy of the pi zero-w (or …

Yeah, so much more powerful..... And sooooooo much more challenging to secure. At least with microcontrollers, you (can) lock down execution of arbitrary code almost entirely, beca…

Logistics. A well equipped squad of marines would still eventually succumb to a gird of barbarians unless they could resupply.

Came here to say this. Rediculosly low cost per page.

To me, many worlds + time (as an inviolate observed vector) being merely a consequence of our inability to observe without moving foreward in time based on our entropic process dri…

I feel like they are late....

Depending on the magazine dimensions (single stack is hard) Reliable magazines can be largely 3d printed, as can the follower and the jigs used to bend piano wire into proper sprin…

Hybrid motors using solid fuels (plastic, rubber, cardboard, even sausage) and liquid oxidizer (typically nitrous oxide) are pretty common in hobby rocketry. These can be trivially…

Liquid electrode batteries transcend the "unfortunate tetrahedron" paradigm in many ways. By isolating the reactants from the reactor, "unlimited" storage and near-instant "recharg…

Obviously, this is very sticky moral ground, and I don't claim to absolutely have the answers.... But I think there is merit to the idea of personage. Types of dolphins have been d…

I think the newish perception that risk is unacceptable plays a part. I'm glad to see the "safety above exploration" mindset giving way a bit. Accidents are going to happen. Pionee…

If this is actually a thing, it's probably 5 eyes that has the most invested in the tech. (Waves hands and puts on tinfoil hat) Check mate, atheists.

From a technical perspective I found this story compelling, so I tried out a simple hack to see if it were "possible". Using an attiny85 uC, a couple resistors, a cap, and a couple…

Oops wrong place, sorry.

I use http from embedded devices that cannot do https due to memory constraints. Http access is appreciated for this use case. But.... Do you guys have a business model that is goi…

I sometimes parse web data with uC based devices that are not capable of doing https with the memory space available. I appreciate the ability to use http when I need to.

If the clutch pedal was seemingly disconnected, that would be due to a loosened flare nut or a backed off cable end/clamp/adjustment. Likely Wouldn't even show up on a diagnostic s…

Idk, I think Central Florida takes the cake for bugs and pestilence, at least has more than the islands in the carribean I've lived on.

Since adding noise is a critical part in many neural network training models, it is entirely possible that an at-hand source of randomness is highly useful. Drugs that reduce the a…

What you say is true for silicon, but Turing complete molecular machinery is already out there, we just have yet to master its intricacies. The nightmare AGI scenario likely involv…

I realize that this is an outlier.... But I was raised in an aboriginal type environment (and my children's early experience was in a similar environment by risk) when a single epi…

The 555 was great. These days I usually just drop in a 6 pin microcontroller though. Less external parts, cheaper, less environmental instability, much more operational flexibility…

Passive components like a line conditioning resistor or cap could be changed out with an identical looking malicious component. Such a chip could perform effective MITM attacks aga…
