Non-violent protesters were getting killed by Hong Kong's police in broad daylight for the last few months. Were the Rust people not aware of them?

Twitter does not work on Tor unless you also give them your phone number, making the exercise pointless.

I'd call it malware behaviour, but I agree with your general point.

Has anyone here come across good research-based methods of dealing with procrastination?

Indeed. Thank you!

I was hoping to learn about GPU and neural network accelerator architectures. This seems like a conspicuous absence in the course.

I don't know the specifics of the people in the article, but examples like Cédric Villani demonstrate that it's not OK to be rash in one's judgment.

Agreed. A couple of examples to illustrate this: in boolean arithmetic, 1+1=1, in modular (2) arithmetic, 1+1=0.

The article needs to explain what AGC is. Most EEs associate it with Automatic Gain Control... which makes no sense in the context of FPGA.

More like 10 sq km so far. You'll see it if you zoom out more. There are plenty of panel "farms" in other parts of the town. More details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavaga…
