The new RK3588 boards look promising. ITX3588J comes with 4 SATA ports and a PCIe 3 x4 slot that you could add more with, but it's not shipping yet.

Although GPON is shared, it is not half duplex! I'm not exactly sure why the asymmetrical version won out, perhaps due to cheaper optics back in the day? Latest iterations (NG-PON2…

Yeah, ML libraries are a huge offender. The Torch 1.8.1 manylinux wheel is 1.6G unpacked, with 1.1G going to CUDA support.

Yes, the different bands are not collected at the same time across the whole scene, so you get ghosting with moving objects. The SkySat sensor [1] is split in two halves: panchroma…

> Ok, but that decision would have to be made by the project maintainer, in this case Google, not the person using Bazel to compile protobuf. No, that's up to the user. If you incl…

I wish Bazel was more explicit about things leaking in from outside the workspace, but you can always vendor the toolchain to be more hermetic. For example see https://github.com/g…

That's not exactly true, for example see https://github.com/grailbio/bazel-toolchain

BGRA is a "weird" convention in the graphics world that goes back to at least OS/2 bitmaps, when there was no wrong answer, and has stuck since then. Since early GPUs targeted Wind…

Yeah, I've used GCE's console many times with SysRq to debug frozen instances. Surprised that AWS doesn't have one.

Yeah, not sure why this is such a hard concept for some people. I just replaced my two year old Pixel's battery as it started crashing at around 35% (as high as 50% with the camera…

Depends the way you look at it. The final data is generally available within a couple minutes, but the data itself is not collected instantaneously. At least for the full-disk scen…

In the commercial world, NNN (triple net) leases are popular. The tenants take care of property taxes, insurance, and maintenance, so it is a good passive investment since you don'…

Ever heard of Schengen?

Why not LPDDR4 against LPDDR3? LPDDR4 is also more efficient and has better density.

Surprisingly, it's already not that painful. I recently wrote a tiny JSON service with Iron and Diesel and it wasn't that much longer or complex compared to Go. The biggest headach…

I think that's just the chip price, while $16 is for the whole board.

Repeaters and equalizers. They go up to 8 fiber pairs, and are probably the most expensive single component for long cables. You need separate amplifiers/equalizers for each single…

Unfortunately, Intel giveth no more :( I've been hearing discouraging things from both architecture and silicon people at Intel. It seems like they lost direction, probably because…
