I'm very happy with my Leopold with Cherry MX Clears, having come from a Model M as my first board. Alternatively, at this price point one could put together a very decent custom f…

I have an original production Model M and don't think I would ever go back to it. It's extremely loud (friends would always complain if we were gaming together), keypresses are ver…

Fascinating, thank you! Admittedly I don't keep the closest tabs on what Xilinx is doing.

Disclaimer: I work in this space (not at Xilinx), comments are strictly my own opinions and do not reflect any positions of my employer, etc. Broadly speaking, FPGA-based ML model …

You've struck on the fundamental problem that the FPGA industry has been trying to solve for 30+ years - how to get an FPGA into the hands of every developer, like how GPUs have pr…

I've done it as well with my parents, who love wine. At the shops I've been to, you buy the grape concentrate up front and they handle to process of making it up until bottling. On…

It might very well be the DAC doing the work then, or maybe the placebo effect is just making me pay more attention to music I first heard years ago and I'm picking up more :) Than…

Anecdotally, recently my dad got me a Tidal subscription (which has masters at supposedly higher quality than CDs) and an entry-level DAC. The two put together have blown me away a…

Adding to the comment about difficulty, the number and ratio of likes : dislikes on a problem is a good measure of difficulty. A Medium with 5K likes and 300 dislikes is probably q…

Yes, Intel will still sell you a license for NIOS if you want to harden it into your product.

I'm vegan and supplement DHA via this product: https://ca.freshfield.life/products/vegan-omega-3

1-year vegan here, no new health issues to report. I supplement vitamins D and B12 and omega-3 fats.

I think an older GPU would definitely be useful. Used GTX 1080 cards (I picked one up used for C$375 back in September) are listed for C$750-850 where I live. I'm not as familiar w…

Military is still a major customer, at least for their FPGA division (Altera). Probably still enough smart people kicking around to make it work.

>spend years working on getting acquired instead of working on new chips (which happened to Altera) That's interesting, can you expand on this? I'm curious what could have impacted…

I'll take a crack at it, though I'm only in undergrad (took a course on VLSI this semester). Making a device at a specific technology node (e.g. 14nm, 10nm, 7nm) isn't just about t…

Hugely anecdotally, I think ketamine might have fixed my depression for about 6 months with one heavy dose. It was early 2018, I had just gone through a really bad breakup the Dece…
