A P-47's engine was fairly resistant to battle damage. My dad was a P-47 driver. One time it swallowed a valve, and the engine kept running, just a bit of vibration.

For contrast, one time he was in a P-51 that swallowed a valve, and he said he was lucky he was over the airfield, as that airplane was going down promptly. The P-51 had a much more fragile engine, I wouldn't want to fly one over water.

The consumer RX580 and workstation WX7100 are based on the same Polaris silicon, and the consumer card is configured with a higher power limit of 185W vs 130W, but the workstation card usually performs similarly or much better anyway. It's most egregious in the Siemens NX test where the workstation card is about 8 times faster.

I think AMD strategically throttles legacy OpenGL paths similar to Nvidia, Autodesk Max/Maya use modern shader-based viewports and in those the consumer card pulls ahead as you'd expect given its higher power limit.

Off the top of my head:

1. RISC-V is completely unencumbered from an IP perspective. There is no possibility of a rightsholder reasserting rights on IP they had previously released (like what happened with MIPS in 2019).

2. RISC-V is legacy-free. It's an extremely "clean" design, free of weird quirks like the MIPS branch delay slot or SPARC register windows.

3. There are subsets of the RISC-V architecture defined for different sizes of systems, e.g. 32/64 bit versions, an embedded subset with fewer registers, etc. They all share an instruction set and a general architecture, and most compilers can target any subset. Some of the smaller subsets are well within the realm of what a single student can be taught to implement within a semester.

4. Numerous real implementations of RISC-V exist -- both as hardware and HDL -- are being maintained, and the hardware is available on the open market.

But the point you are missing is that if you focus on doing everything "correctly" at first, you're not gonna get anywhere (and may do the wrong thing).

Imitating other people's gear isn't "correct," but shipping matters more. You will do the work eventually, and it's better to get a little experience so you know the right work to do.

As somebody who got self-learned into electronics engineering on the workplace, I'd say self-learning is the hard way.

I want to underscore the e͟n͟g͟i͟n͟e͟e͟r͟i͟n͟g͟ in the electronics engineering. Engineering everywhere is very hands on, and you cannot be an "engineer in theory only" if you want to perform on a job.

Learning from mistakes in a class setting is much easier, and c͟h͟e͟a͟p͟e͟r͟ than casually failing a USD $1M design in a very simply way, but a way not taught in any textbook.

Not to disparage you, I know many people who were similarly dragged into electronics engineering by necessity, and got to the level of degreed engineers over many years.
COB
But those guys had years, and years to perfect their skills in a time when the industry was more forgiving, and was growing with their skill.

I would say that today, nobody will hire a 18 year guy who was just an electronics hobbyist to a factory, that was not the case 12-10 years ago.

What I can say against modern electronics engineering education is that excessive focus on producing "workplace ready" cadres makes for worse workers past the basic level.

I know people who are quite adept with digital electronics, but can't even understand how anything but textbook versions of SMPS power supplies work because of universities thought that analog circuits are now what people pay for. This the same for many more fields in electronics.

I believe properly taught EE can figure out just anything with the right approach, and time, and this attitude is the best what education can give you, unlike mass produced engineers who keeping find lame excuse "I'm not a logic/power/high speed/rf/motion control/asynchronos circuit/metrology/network/audiovideo engineer! I did not study this at school!"

I obviously don't know the exact rules in all countries but here in Denmark there're different deductions from the standard registration tax based on things like if the car has minimum 5 stars in EuroNCAP, the price of airbags are completely excluded from the tax, etc. so yes it is voluntary but without it the cars gets taxed higher than the competition that did get a test (or a better test). Since EuroNCAP ratings are based on the car with the least amount of security in a line of cars even a very secure car will be more expensive if the manufacturer also sells a poorly rated version in the EU as it is the one the tax deduction is based on.

I hope you enjoy it! Since you mentioned chibicc earlier in this thread, and you've written an assembler of your own, this might be of interest to you: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/master/third_party... Your work was brought to my attention maybe a year and a half ago and I think what you're doing is pretty cool. Feel free to reach out by email if there's anything I can do to help.
After you watch your taxes used to fuel wars and murder and there is no way to opt out or meaningfully vote for anything different, this is a completely rational view to take.

Just because the theft is by a group elected by a majority doesn’t make it not theft.

You can wax on as much as you want about the importance of government revenue, safety nets, and defense, but it doesn’t fundamentally change the fact that the source is currently money taken by force from the people.
That's just bullshit. You can see all the tested vehicles from Euro NCAP website. They haven't tested Teslas in 2020 and 2021 because there hasn't been new models. Model Y hasn't been tested yet.

In fact, on the Euro NCAP website their latest 'safest cars' list is from 2019, and you see that Model 3 and Model X are the safest cars in their category. You really think that the safest cars in 2019 can't pass the tests in 2021?

That was my thought as well after reading the first comment on this page, about identifying the roots of these traits and about avoiding superficial copies.

It is important to try to be yourself, know your strengths and accept your weaknesses. Because if you don't and blindly try to copy others' qualities, you are likely to have a wrong and superficial understanding of the way these traits are acquired. Due to the superficial understanding, the attempt to copy the traits is likely to fail in some cases, and get you crawling desperate about how you could not achieve your target.

Naturally, there is truth on both sides. Maybe the piece advice should have been: *be attentive* to remarkable traits in people around you, then *be inspired* by their good traits and try to avoid replicating their bad traits. The important parts are the self-consciousness and the effort to improve oneself.

Is AARD an acronym and what do the letters stand for?
For Integrated Analog Electronics I'd suggest Design of "Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits" by Razavi instead of "Analog Integrated Circuit Design" by Carusone, Johns, Martin.

The plan looks quite complete, similar to the list of courses I did in university. I remember I also did a power electronics course which I didn't see in your list.

Fabrication of a chip is not really feasible to do at home. The chemicals you might be able to get, but not the equipment.
Which CPU model do you have exactly? If it's a core 2 model, they are actually 64bit capable (32bit extended) and can run an x86_64 linux without issues.

Rather than that I'd recommend Debian or Mint with MATE if you want an easy and stable distro. Otherwise if you are willing enough, go for archlinux32 to have still the benefits of AUR.
I'm now curious (but too lazy to setup and test it) how the following query would fare:

LEFT JOIN employees ON employees.id = employee_markouts.employee_id
LEFT JOIN customer_order_items ON customer_order_items.meal_item_id = meal_items.id
LEFT JOIN customer_orders ON customer_orders.id = customer_order_items.customer_order_id
LEFT JOIN customers ON customers.id = customer_orders.customer_id
WHERE (employees.store_id = 250 AND
employee_markouts.created >= '2021-02-03' AND
employee_markouts.created < '2021-02-04') OR
(customers.store_id = 250 AND
customer_orders.created >= '2021-02-03' AND
customer_orders.created < '2021-02-04')

Banks don’t require “smart” work; even less so for low-level analysts.

The crazy part is that by modern standards they aren't really developing that much power. Sure this thing puts out 2,100 HP (using 130 octane gas), but it needs a whopping 46 liters of displacement to get that.

A Veyron engine puts out about half the HP using 17% of the displacement on worse gas. You can't even buy 130 octane gas anymore. The Veyron is a notorious fuel hog, but it has nothing on a twin Wasp radial.
Notion, phenomenal!

Arguably, Touchdesigner and Unreal Engine as well.

Get a detachable PC. I used Dell Venue 11 Pros for many years. A perfectly cromulent system even today, albeit it's fairly thick at 11mm. I still use them occasionally! They're great systems.

Easy to replace batteries. Dual cores way better than any (non-Apple) ARM chip. Idles down nicely. Has fans that rarely need to spring on but can. Tolerable (almost nice!) front & back cameras. Surprisingly good sound. Replaceable ssd. Gyro's & accelerometers. A usb3 type-a port. Decently drive 4k30 via mini-hdmi.

With a big swap file, even a 4GB model made a daily driver for me for a long time; worked great. The only reason mine aren't still getting more use is because they use a custom pre-USB-PD Dell 19.5V power-over-usb-micro solution. There's a great tablet stand accessory for it, to make it a Google Max type hub, with power & ethernet & a usb hub; it was a great offering, super useful, but it never really fit well in my house & I didn't spend enough time building a touch-hub for it. Dell did an amazing job, it is such a well loved computer (by me at least), so well considered in every way, with a variety of great accessories.

But I have a somewhat more modern alternative these days. (Still often on 4GB, but 8GB is available.) The Venue 11 Pros were not cutting edge when I bought them, nor was my new detachable. Newer designs are mostly folio-keyboard-centric (where-as the Venue 11 Pro had either a great clamshell keyboard with +4 hour battery or folio keyboard) which I resisted but end up working fine. Personally I prefer a bluetooth keyboard anyways; the ergonomics can be set up much much better than what a conventional laptop will ever grant it's poor user. Your desired tablet usage makes this a non-issue anyways (for me these were also daily drivers). Some laptops insist on using frustrating non-standard weird platform stuff, which may make various peripherals non-functional, but shockingly stuff just works across the board a good amount of the time. There's some roll of the dice. We need more people willing to try & to report what goes wrong, challenging others to complete the usually-not-that-hard reverse engineering.

Alas, arm tablets are almost universally unusable for anything but Android. We are just starting to see some upstream kernel support for Snapdragon 845 systems (2017), which is a pretty respectable & modern arm, but a usable ARM system is the exception rather than the rule. Tragic loss, imo. (Even though my aged Dell Venue 11 Pro would smoke the tar out of whatever tablet/pc arm chip Qualcomm is selling these days anyways.)
Care to share that spreadsheet?
also, doesn't injection-casting cost vastly more power? I assume for injection-casting the steel needs to be molten to be injected into the casting? Doesn't this greatly increase their production time because the frames need to cool before they can be handled.

Stamping is populair because it is very fast, has minimal waste and is a procedure with very little variables.
According to Wikipedia: " AARD code was originally discovered by Geoff Chappell on 17 April 1992 and then further analyzed and documented in a joint effort with Andrew Schulman.[2][3][4][5][6] The name was derived from Microsoft programmer Aaron R. Reynolds (1955–2008),[7] who used "AARD" to sign his work; "AARD" was found in the machine code of the installer"
That's a good point. The project-first approach worked very well for me when learning new software frameworks/libs/etc.

My main concern with EE is that once I'll get to the brain-computer interfaces, I'll be in a situation where there aren't many off-the-shelf components/solutions available, and at the same time I'll likely need to know how I can push physics closer to the edge. I suspect I may need a better theoretical foundation to do that.

That said, I definitely like the idea of focusing a lot on hands-on projects.
Is the idea that the Cybertruck is particularly dangerous for pedestrians more than idle speculation?

I have two books that might be a good fit for you since they are specially written for adult learners in mind. (disclaimer: I wrote these books and I have a financial interest in promoting them)

The No Bullshit Guide to Math & Physics [1] is a condensed review of high school math, followed by mechanics (PHYS 101) and calculus (CALC I and II). It's not as rigorous as other more proof-oriented textbooks, but it still covers all the material.

The No Bullshit Guide to Linear Algebra [2] is all about linear algebra and also includes three chapters on applications, so you'll learn the fundamental ideas but also what they are used for IRL.

Both books come with exercises and problem sets with answers, which is essential for learning. In fact one could say all math learning happens when you try to solve problems on your own, not just reading.

I had the same question. It's my biggest pet peeve when articles go on with cryptic acronyms (or, in this case, initialisms) and don't explain them.

The Wikipedia article for AARD code explains the source:

> The name was derived from Microsoft programmer Aaron R. Reynolds (1955–2008),[7] who used "AARD" to sign his work; "AARD" was found in the machine code of the installer.
The idea that people will go through these popup menus for every site they visit is just insane. It goes to show how governments and standards bodies really have no clue. When opening a hyperlink, you aren't meant to establish a relationship with this new website (at least not most of the time). It's supposed to be fast, possibly just to read a small part of that page and go back to the previous website.

The Art of Electronics by Horowitz and Hill has a permanent place on my desk. It is quite simply the bible of electronics engineering, the EE analogue of the famed Machinery’s Handbook.

I also recommend Signals and Systems by Oppenheim for any aspiring EE.
Can you elaborate on the distinction?
These are awesome recommendations - thanks!
Yeah I mean, look, I saw that. I don't think it's particularly clever or interesting. As a programming project, I'd consider it mediocre at best. As an art project? More like a joke - at best. But to each their own, I guess?
The moment you start using strategies to deal with someone, you are already artificial.
The US Navy mandated air cooled radial engines due to their robustness. The US Army Air Force adopted water cooled V type engines for performance. An air cooled radial can suffer damage such as "dropping" a valve because each cylinder and cylinder head is largely independent. There is no shared water jacket, for instance.
Yes, I've been in that position. It ain't great.

I'd like to be able to trade on my own safety, not others (e.g. sacrificing crumplezones for a more compact cabin and greater carrying capacity).
The likelihood depends somewhat on whether they are in or out of a network that can provide the quality and quantity of capital, advice, and process that YC provides. If you're out of network, YC is (I think) a no brainer. Even people "in the network," like Justin Kan and Suhail, repeat YC so there are likely also non-fungibles that YC provides.

Sorry to hear about that.
It is very important imo to always remember that it is just a job. Even if you are career driven, self starter, workaholic, try to soak up as much knowledge and do not do crazy overtime except maybe a bit in a startup if you are one of the first 10 employees and believe in the product.

No company will say thanks for wrecking your personal life and ending up burned out.

It is still perfectly possible to climb the career ladder without overtime and doing extra tasks for no extra pay etc.

Time is a persons most valuable asset and the companies know that. Do not waste it on repetitive monkey tasks which are the result of multiple product development failures covered up by incompetent managers. There is not much to learn in these places. These are for people with sub average ambitions, fair enough.
