With that going on, it's hard to imagine there once was a time where the news paper publishers hat little to no signal on what actually sold news papers. Given that papers were onl…

We have a focus on more complex ICs as we see them most relevant for this task. In that area we have ~95% of all components that are active (not EOL & recommended for new designs).…

Hi HN, We run an electronic parts search engine, and Stillwind Builder is our attempt to automate the selection step itself: it turns a project description into a PCB bill of mater…

Having worked on libp2p‘s DHT (Double Hashing for rust-libp2p) for a bit two years ago, it’s really great to see that there are improvements. To get to CDN level speeds though on d…

It says 8 Arm Neoverse N2 cores in the blog post. So not directly ARM Cortex, derived from ARM Cortex-X3 but same family as NVIDIA Grace, Google Axion and AWS Graviton4.

We’ve spent the last couple of months building Stillwind Search, a search engine for electronic components that helps users find parts that fit even the most complex set of specifi…

Not across all features, but certainly in specific ones. There are more advanced WiFi 6 chips, more advanced Bluetooth chips and faster MCUs. But they are all separate chips or com…

It has become limited. Some have WiFi, some have Bluetooth but rarely both. There is the SiWx917M ( https://www.silabs.com/wireless/wi-fi/siwx917-wireless-socs ) by SiliconLabs tho…

There is an ESP-C5 ( https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs/esp32-c5 ) that supports 2.4 and 5 GHz dual-band WiFi. And unlike the ESP32-S31 you can buy it today.

From the EXIF we can infer that every setting was left at the default. No exposure comp, no contrast, no HSL, no lens correction and a linear tone curve. Just the default Adobe Col…

Looking at the EXIF (with exiftool) for the image uploaded by NASA ( https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/art002e00019... ), apparently this was taken by a Nikon D5 with…

That’s fair but when there is an async version of the driver or Hal available it should be pretty straightforward to port it to synchronous, right? Maybe Claude code can even do it…

I am a big fan of the embassy project and it’s a great example of why async Rust is so great: Because this is possible. It works without a heap, is a really low cost abstraction an…

Maybe stuff has changed a lot in the last year but I didn’t experience that problem so far. For me it was the other way around mostly. Where did you encounter that?

Interesting thought but you would need a lot of these gasses on the one hand and on the other hand it doesn’t help in working against the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect d…

Maybe they felt the increase in capability is not worth of a bigger version bump. Additionally pre-training isn't as important as it used to be. Most of the advances we see now pro…

This course is actually mandatory in the first year of the CS undergraduate program here at ETH. I remember it very fondly for its great (and passionate) lecture and the hands on e…

These seem like the first features that Rust in Linux bring to the Rust language that are not almost exclusively useful to the kernel. In my perception the focus on bringing featur…

It's great that they finally target all three mayor platforms! Let's see how developers using Windows treat them. I used to be a Neovim purist, spending days on my config and I hav…

That's sadly true, over in x86 land things don't look much better in my opinion. The corresponding accelerators on modern Intel and AMD CPUs (the "Copilot PCs") are very difficult …

Edit: Foundation Models use the Neural Engine. They are referring to a Neural Engine compatible K/V cache in this announcement: https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/introduci…

You probably wouldn’t with a Pro but you might between an iPad Pro and an MacBook Air. With the foundation models API they basically said that there will be one size of model for t…

Very cool! Since it’s possible to train foundation model adapters, is a library for user fine tunes possible?
