> How do these people stay motivated to do anything. It can't just be money, right? It’s making money to spend quality time with loved ones and pay the bills. For some people that’…

I was excited to check out lecture videos thinking they were public, but quickly saw that they were closed. One of the things I miss most about the pandemic was how all of these in…

This is awesome! I’ve given up learning graphics programming in the past due to the fragmented ecosystem of libraries. It just felt overwhelming. This seems exactly what I’ve been …

I've been looking for inspiration recently as I'm working on a hardware project that could well turn into a startup, but the market we're in is very competitive, and it would be ni…

This is amazing!! I've found myself writing selenium scripts to automate tasks for my dad's job (things such as getting a name from a spreadsheet, putting that name in a website's …

I was at a talk given by the president of Embraer-X (that's an Embraer subsidiary that looks into these riskier ventures), and he got into the details of how they validated their b…

I have faced this myself, and the aimless excitement can create a lot of frustration in new programmers. Programming is a unique tool in the sense that it has the ability to glarin…

I have been learning about Operating Systems the past few months through MIT's XV6 book (RISC-V edition). One thing that isn't made very clear is how computers in the real world "k…

I have been journaling for 2 years on and off. In the beginning it had extremely positive effects on my development as a person. After a while the sense of effectiveness that came …

I find it very interesting that you mention looking at the history of ISA's first in order to understand the current iteration of the technology. I was reading the RISC-V privilege…

It doesn't really answer my question, but from what I've seen in the TOC I'd say it's equivalent to an introductory course on computer architecture + computer systems and some cryp…

Yeah, as I've read other responses to my post I've been able to better define my difficulties in understanding CPU-GPU communication. I was having a hard time separating the MMIO c…

Yeah, your explanation really hits the nail in regards to what I was trying to understand - MMIO coupled with all of that bus dynamic of a master and slave going on. It's clear to …

Wow. Just skimmed across that chapter and that looks like a great resource. No wonder I couldn't find it in any of my searching sessions, I'd never think a book titled like that wo…

I've been learning about computer architecture [1] and I've become comfortable with my understanding of how a processor communicates with main memory - be it directly, with the pre…

I’m not an assembly programmer, but I’ve learned assembly as part of introductory CS courses (computer architecture classes) and the approachable alternative you’re looking for is …

It’s very unfortunate to read such a statement - Isaacson’s “The Innovators” is an amazing book that never lost its objectivity throughout my readings.

There's no particular reason for collecting images this way other than that's what the hardware I have allow (an ESP32CAM). > There are super cheap cameras that output rtsp streams…

Yeah, the Pi would definitely be a better choice for this but even the Pi Zero would be 2x the price of the ESP32CAM I'm using (which in the country I live isn't as cheap as in the…

Hello HN, I'd love some advice on live video processing for a hobby project I'm working on. I'm currently working on placing a live camera on a beach. My current setup leaves a lot…

I wouldn't have gotten nearly as much enjoyment out of the series (including the 2 sequels after the trilogy) if I hadn't read Asimov's Robot Series. I know that the whole "you don…

- Energy and Civilization by Vaclav Smill - May be a bit dense sometimes in raw data but overall provides an awesome overview of how humanity has used and continues to use energy, …

It's an interesting phenomenom the one described in the story. I myself a great number of times have experienced situations where I held back on writing down certain thoughts even …
