We don't have the technology to get a person to Mars or to land them when they get there. We probably have the technology to build a spaceship that they could die in on the way there - but that's the closest that we realistically have.
I think the point is that by removing the water, empty space and non-carbon it would be physically much smaller.

The PIOs are much smaller and less powerful/flexible than the PRU. The PRUs are 200 mhz 32-bit cpus with DSP-like capabilities and 8k of memory (partly shared with the application cpu). They can directly access the analog ports too. I don't know if the PIOs can do that.

Each PIO is limited to 32 instruction words (16 bit words; the 5-bit address is baked into the instruction format so it can't be expanded without redesigning the ISA), its memory consists of some 4-word (32 bit word) FIFOs and two 32-bit scratch registers, and the instruction set is very limited. It can increment so you can do counted loops, but it has no ADD instruction, so e.g. it can't easily compute a packet checksum on its own, much less anything like an error correcting code. It is nice for basic bit banging of things like the Neopixel LED. Someone did DVI video with it (https://github.com/Wren6991/picodvi) but that was really stretching its capabilities, seemingly more of a flex than something really practical. Impressive though.

It's also odd that they used the M0+ core instead of an M3 or M4F, especially since they then bolted on an external divider/interpolator to speed up audio processing. Maybe future versions will upgrade. Perhaps even to risc-v ;).

I've been wondering whether the RPi foundation designed the PIO from scratch for this chip, or if it's an existing block they got from someplace. It strikes me as clunky and maybe old, coming from an era when transistors cost a lot more. As for the chip itself, it's always nice to have a new cheap MCU board, but it's hard to tell what they have in mind for it. A traditional single-core MCU would have been simpler and probably cheaper, and something aiming for more compute power would have been better off with more powerful cores (future versions might have that, and more cores too).

The coming ESP32c3 will supposedly be priced like the ESP8266 (i.e. $2 or so for a module) and it will have a RISC-V core and 300K of ram or something like that, plus wifi, so it in some ways seems more promising. For boards, I like the Longan Nano on seeedstudio, like a RISC-V based bluepill for $6 including a tiny TFT display. Unfortunately it has just 128KB of on-chip flash so it can't run micropython simply, but it has a microsd slot so maybe there is a way to use that.
I would agree with you from a personal perspective but my partner frequently does this on her Android. I personally find it creepy of her looking at me while obviously doing something else.

I've always wanted to replace the gearstick in an AWD electric car with a torque split lever that controls both acceleration and braking distribution and basically gives you thrust vectoring. Pull it back under acceleration and you can spin the rear wheels, or under braking and you can do a handbrake turn. Push it left or right in a turn to control drift angle. When stationary, go full left or right to skid steer on the spot. The stunts you could do with such a setup would be insane.
Maybe that corporation shouldn't have hired all of these people in the first place, and those people could have found jobs at places with more stable workforce plans.
What you're talking about here is the client/inference side, not the server/training side of the ML/DL compute battle. The former is meaningful in a sense, but practically insignificant in relation to the latter. Almost all ML/DL compute GPU, CPU, or otherwise is on the server side of the equation, and if you're relying on vector CPU math for it, well good luck.

Accelerators have a very clear space for themselves on the training side, and no amount of fancy ISA magic is really going to make up for the fact that TPUs and the like beckon. It's where most of the real money is.

If every legal agreement were interpreted by internet commenters' impression of its "spirit", what's the point of all that fancy language anyway? There is no universal definition of "open source/FOSS" or what its spirit might be, which is why everyone uses concrete licenses.

It's Elastic's fault. I support their new license and wish they had picked it from the start; but they didn't. If you explicitly grant someone permission to use your hard work in a certain clearly defined way, you can't be surprised when someone uses it in that way.
Well the issue with IP addressed is used to de-platform them.

Lots of rules are broken all the time and no one cares. Suddenly when people want to get rid of someone, rules are selectively enforced.

A single investment is not strategy though.

Think of the investments in Loon, Taara, SpaceX and Google Fiber as part of a larger strategy to bring internet access with decent bandwidth to a larger number of humans. Some investments will not pan out, others will bear fruit.
I was born in the same year that Carl Sagan died — in fact, just a few days earlier. Once a year people say "congratulations" to me without knowing that, precisely in that moment, inside, the thought coming to this mind in reaction of their comment is that I wish Carl Sagan were alive, and that I had died instead of him, or never have been born in the first place.
It's certainly an interesting choice of words. But I'm more partial to commending those standing up to blackmailers than scolding them for what they (may) have done. If blackmail really happened and it was not just a slip of the tongue.

> It is a myth that one side can unilaterally benefit at the expense of the other side

While true in a simplistic sense, this is generally not true when you have a society / economy as complex as ours.

Partly this is due to perceived value vs "actual value", and to me a business is only moral (obviously businesses can't really be moral, so what I'm really saying is "the only businesses that should exist") if you actually believe that what you are delivering to the other party is more valuable than what you are costing them, so that it is actually a win-win. Generally this is hard to measure, but I can provide some examples of when this is pretty clearly not the case.

1. Get rich quick schemes. Things like online courses that tell you how to make boatloads of cash by doing X. Except they don't actually work, so the value to the purchaser is effectively $0, while what they paid for it is certainly not.

2. A larger scale example: the collapse of the housing market in 2008. This is a better example of effects from the complexity I mentioned earlier. A significant part of the crash can be attributed to CDOs/MBSes. Long story short, banks were doing some repackaging shenanigans to make something that was shit look less shit. Any honest accounting will realize that this provided zero real value. Yet the bank's were getting rich off it. That certainly sounds like capturing (>0) more value than you are delivering (0) to me.

That is the kind of behavior I'm talking about.
I wasn't aware of that - that is fantastic.

However, this is certainly not the norm. Lets see if it holds true for Loon.

An interesting debate:

- Democratically elected government of a sovereign country decides to regulate its market.

- An foreign entity is trying to blackmail the government to listen to non Australian entity how they should have their market set.

- And point of the writers here is that the Australian government governing its own country and market is wrong and
hostile and ... and the Google has right to blackmail it?

Why wouldn't they? Maybe not the best of the best of chip designers, but sure, at least a half decent one. Just so you know what kind of chip would be perfect for the kinds of workloads that you have, without divulging secrets to anyone else, all so that you can find the best value for money out there in the market. Honestly, if you didn't do this, I would probably consider you incompetent.

Having maximum torque from 0RPM removes the need for a clutch, not a transmission. You still need to keep the motor within its effective RPM range, which is certainly easier for electric motors than ICE engines but is still a consideration. Many single-speed electric cars have much lower top speeds than their power output would otherwise allow.
> call me Mr. Pig

Hello Mr Pig, nice to meet a fellow pig :)

> yeah, or risk mitigation. Haven't decided which is truer.

Same thing to me. What do you "risk", except not making money? It all boils down to money.

> ultimately, they shouldn't be decision makers. Taking risk is important

Agreed - as long as you can take said risk, because again it all boils down to money. These people help you do that by not spending as much while achieving the same (or better) outcomes.

> It's a balance.

Totally! As for MBAs and the likes, I see them as XOs: I decide on the direction and give the orders. They implement them.

Their perspective is different from mine - which is surprisingly closer to the first line workers, who hold a lot of valuable insights (about optimization, client needs, etc) that may be lost due to the middle layer (of MBAs etc)

But the middle layer has its own role to play, to save money and keep operations smooth and reduce costs (risks) whenever possible.

Staunch free software proponent here.

Clearly, as you say, there's nothing wrong here legally. By choosing this license, Elastic explicitly allowed anyone in the world to do what Amazon is doing now.

Ethically, I can't find anything wrong about this either. As far as I'm concerned, there isn't a "spirit of open source". Open source is a way of doing business. Elastic made a business decision. The company has to live with the consequences.

One could certainly argue far too much power is getting concentrated with Amazon and other web giants, but that's an entirely different subject...
So keys aren't verified at all. That seems like something that needs more than a single sentence that comes _after_ they explain the confirmation process.
I had the same thought re: buying stock. It seems like there is, if you're super rich (accredited investor): https://equityzen.com/company/sifive/

Not much use to normal plebs. The recent changes to the accredited investor definition are nice, but I do wish there was a reasonable way for normal people to get accredited. Especially for a non us person like me, it's not really reasonable to go do the professional exams they require. And ofc I haven't got the money to qualify by wealth. It does seem supremely unfair to cut off the most lucrative investments on the planet to people who aren't already the richest people.on the planet.

Every time I open reddit there's harassment and hate speech right on the front page.

It's just happening against people the reddit admins hate and "good hatred" doesn't count.
I said it’s conjecture and you don’t disagree. I’ll leave it to you how sensational it is. I have biases but I would have no problem in moderating without them as above else I believe in free speech, so this argument is not very convincing, personally. You might be right, though, I’ve never used Parler, so IDK. But evidence is evidence and that Twitter statement was dishonest.
Allowed by the law does not mean it's considered ethical.

AWS has changed the "new low" what an open-source project can expect if a cloud company earning billions on top of open-source can just change their project and fork it.

Cloud companies taking your source are a "new thing" to consider in the world of open-source.
Wouldn’t disabling search in Australia be worse for Google than for Australia?

A possible reason not mentioned in the post is that writing efficient incremental algorithms is just fundamentally hard, despite the primitives and tooling afforded by the differential dataflow library.

Previously when we install an operating system, and a software on a computer, it will just work forever. NASA has explorers running after many years, and software industry we have to keep upgrading and fix issues, and write new code to do exactly the same thing as before. With subscriptions, I guess you probably need to upgrade hardwares as well as softwares because the new code will automatically kill your old hardwares.

Of course I agree that calling such data structures immutable is more precise, but it's still in contrast to both imperative programming and imperative data structures. In particular every single functional language (including the purest of the pure) fairly heavily use immutable array based structures in one way or other. So if functional programming requires only using data structures with structural sharing, there are no functional programming languages.
No. Bridges need plaintext messages, because that's what they feed into WhatsApp and other clients.
Haldex type of 4 wheel drive do this, but in that case the rear wheels are disconnected at most times, they are engaged only when the car feels the need (hard acceleration, etc).

It's not a big deal. In EV cars it is more complicated as they usually have an engine per wheel so you'd need a clutch at each wheel.
Cygwin offers excellent out-of-the-box GNU userland functionality. It is fast and open-source, with a generous set of packages and languages. I can pin it and have a stable, internally consistent GNU userland. Very good for a developer using several interpreted languages.

Cygwin has its quirks and flaws, like any software. But so does a full distro (Ubuntu, no less) running inside Windows 10.
IANAL either but I believe that if you release code under license A you can relicense it to license B, but anyone that obtained the code under license A will be able to keep on using it under that license.

A license is like a contract, and you can’t change a contract out of the blue without the permission of both sides. Otherwise licenses would be useless, as at any point someone could go “aha, I changed my license to the give-me-all-your-money license and you’re using my code, so pay up!”.

Since the license A in this case is an open source license, anyone that has a copy of the software with license A (such as amazon) will be able to share it again under license A. So effectively the old code base will always remain under license A, and only new changes will be fully protected by license B.
I heard that when the high school graduates with marketng degrees took over the company 7 years ago they laid off all the CPU architects. The funny thing is Intel has actually made a lot of really horrible architecture mistakes in the past! Think about Itanium or Pentium 4!

Having recently joined WSB in time for the GME hype, I realized that this might be one of the first times in history where enough retail "investors" (a lot of meme-loving kids with Robinhood) have gathered under a common cause to pose a threat to institutional investors, as acknowledged by Jim Cramer. Rallying a 1.9m subscriber community with an underlying anti-boomer sentiment, especially because Gamestop is about video games which the older generation does not favor, has proved a potent force, which wsb-ers like to call "retard strength".
> [..] take the ideas into modern times with things like a “Camp Auschwitz - Staff” sweater

This one sadly becomes quite ironically hilarious when you realise that a significant portion of the "staff" was made out units of prisoners themselves... In other words, anyone who wears a sweater like that has no damn clue what he is talking about.
> If you don't like the government, you make your own, no? How is it a crime?

Because the Insurrection Act of 1807 [1] says it is.

Less bluntly, the point of democracy is to give people peaceful means by which to affect their government. Storming the Capitol is not a peaceful mean.

> Think carefully before you respond. I am one of about 5 engineers to help invent both globalstar and iridium.

I don't think this kind of warning is a helpful part of the conversation.

If you want to make an argument against Starlink, fine, go ahead and make it. But what is the use of the admonition for someone to "think carefully before they respond"?

It seems to be the only real effect that is intended to have is to deter additional conversation.

Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and ignore your warning, and the credentials you present: I think Starlink is going to be a commercial success. If they solve the satellite interlink problem (which, admittedly, is a big problem), I think it will be a viable path to delivering a global internet solution.
Github issues are not as generic and designed for software code first but it could work I guess.
There is nothing unfair about being able to make optimizations of your own on top of the software. That freedom is in fact one of the core values of OSS. Any “fairness” judgements you make are irrelevant for as long as the license satisfies its goal and the software is freely available to everyone.
