A new hardware project should better use the refresh of Alder Lake N, i.e. the Amston Lake CPUs, which are sold as the Atom x7000 series.

Alder Lake N and Amston Lake are pin compatible, so the CPU model does not influence the schematic and PCB design.

The development material is given by Intel under NDA, so you must contact Intel sales for that.

Nevertheless, you can see the equivalent of a reference design by downloading the schematic of Radxa X4 and its PCB assembly drawings. Radxa is among the nice SBC vendors who provide good documentation for their products. All their products come with their complete schematics, as they should.

For those who do not want or cannot enter in an NDA relationship with Intel, it is possible to design a product that uses a SOM instead of a CPU package. This greatly simplifies the design and the manufacturing, but SOMs are intended for industrial applications, so they are expensive.

For example, I have looked now at DigiKey and I have seen a Advantech SOM with N97 (which is better than N100) at $272, with 4 GB DRAM, which is more than 4 times more expensive than a Radxa X4 SBC with 4 GB DRAM @ $60.

The cheapest way to make a hardware design with Intel CPUs remains to integrate a small SBC like Radxa X4 into a bigger box, together with a custom PCB.

Arm CPUs are not better. To make a hardware design with MediaTek Genio 1200 (quadruple Cortex-A78) or Rockwell RK3588 (quadruple Cortex-A76), you still need to get under NDA the required documentation. Only for microcontrollers like those made by Renesas, Infineon, ST, NXP, Microchip etc. you may find the complete documentation on-line.

For RK3588 there have been published many schematics of various SBC's, so for some less important project one could design a PCB based on the public RK3588 datasheet and on the available schematic examples, but for a serious project one would want the real Rockchip documentation.

In the same way, for an amateur project one could make an N100 design starting from the published Radxa X4 schematic, even without the Intel documentation. However, the Intel CPUs like Alder Lake N or Amston Lake are normally sold in bulk, e.g. 1000 pieces or at least a few hundred. It may be difficult to find a distributor who would sell smaller quantities.

I have several extremely talented friends at Meta, and the one constant is they left any attachment to the output product when they entered the workplace. Whereas they previously (at other top tech companies) did take pride in their employees output. Meta is “success at all costs” and heavily metrics driven.

I think that’s what contributes to things like Myanmar and other countries hate speech proliferation. When you don’t care about how your product is used, and can focus on just the technical aspect, you lose any sense of responsibility.

Conversely, we’ve hired many ex meta people, and they’ve always almost all unanimously said how much they NOW like having pride in the products they create, after jumping ship.

Imho it’s an issue of top down culture from Zuckerberg, and previously Thiel.

> Soft software is an inherently emergent process. It relies on an encounter between the human operator and a digital other that cannot be fully predicted, not unlike a human other. As with any encounter, we seek to bring our own predictive models to bear—this is a key feature of exhibiting intent—and yet how we form a predictive mental model of the language model will have drastic implications for how the encounter goes.

It feels like most software is here to tell users things are too complex, they won't or can't understand, and that this software will do the work for you.

Endlessly trying to sell training wheels to the world.

I so hope software can surface itself, can show the mechanism & processes within, and leaves routes for the the user to take charge. Soft software lets us have malleable systems. http://malleable.systems

Anything less is turning our back on the natural science as the paradigm of the the universe, is turning away from enlightenment. Is letting man and man alone create unknowableness, depths that cannot even be plumbed. Software all too often is an abomination, isnt soft but is a hard set trap.

Any idea on MOQ? Do they still require supporting chipset purchases?

Cost, pinout and voltage inflexibilities usually preclude my ability to use SOMs.

The RK3588 documentation is all available without NDA, as are a handful of Rockchip's reference Altium designs. I've had no issues with the mainline RK3566/RK3568 - love these chips.

Every Apple Store has a Genius Room, which repairs everything Apple makes. This union sort of makes sense.

It can get quite sophisticated as all stores are specialized and trained to make these repairs, including Geniuses getting trained on much of the same equipment as an iPhone assembly line, (plus the equipment to do the reverse) including test and validation equipment. I have worked at flagships in top tier cities, down to the smallest mall stores in a market that has exactly one store, the job is exactly the same. These jobs don’t require engineering degrees, but at least for Genius they require quite a bit of training, not so dissimilar from trades. It’s been quite a few years since I’ve been there but used to be if one is promoted up to Genius they will be certified to do repairs. If one fails training and cannot get their Apple Technician Certification, they’re demoted or fired.

Telemetry without context is just data. What are OpenTelemetry Resources?
FT8, CW and FT4 are all types of modulations, or ways of imprinting information onto a radio signal. They offer different performance under different channel conditions.

14080Kc ( = 14080 KHz = 14.08 MHz), 10136 (=10.136 MHz) and 7074 (=7.074 MHz) are the frequencies of the radio channels being used.

The ionosphere (which is partly powered by the sun) tends to dissipate at night and not reflect higher frequencies as well. Thus one tends to use lower frequencies during the evening/night and higher frequencies during the day.

As an aside, an ionosonde is a radar which can measure and display the reflectivity of the ionosphere in real-time as function of things like height/range, radio frequency and direction. Not many people get to play with them, but they are a great tool to learn how the ionosphere works. You can sit in front of the display and watch in real-time as the ionosphere's response changes and it's height increases as night approaches and see how it varies from day to day. Beats reading about it in a text book and it's fascinating to watch.

Here's a link to an online ionosonde, displaying ionograms in real-time, updated every 5 minutes:

Linux doesn't have any driver for the "RP2040" in the abstract - you have to design the USB device you want (which you could implement on any other USB capable microcontroller as well usually.)

You can use the standard USB CDC classes with the RP2040 to obtain Linux support without writing your own driver - but you still have to build this.

You can only access the USB boot ROM after programming if you are able to toggle the boot selection pins with the host CPU's GPIO - no idea if that's connected here.
I've seen a few theories in various places:

- Match the type of accidentals used by the key signature.

- Use sharps when the melody is moving up, and flats when it's moving down.

- Use whatever accidentals give you a visually pleasing spacing of notes in "thirds" as represented on the staff. (As advocated here.)

- Use the accidentals that are physically compatible with other notes in the chord. (Only a concern for certain instruments, but e.g. I understand that the pedals on a harp affect many strings at once, so playing a particular combination of notes may require a clever approach to the pedals, indicated by what might otherwise look like an unnatural set of accidentals. This wouldn't apply to a piano, where G# is just a separate key from G, not a modification of the G key.) I think this is what you're going for?
SF Policies made it happen.
The preceeding sentence is also incredibly stupid:

> The field of computer science, particularly on the software side, has historically involved more “engineering” than “science.”

Let's ignore the fact they confuse the words "computer science" and "software engineering". If anything, the same or worse can be stated about AI: The field of AI, or how normal people use AI, has historically involved more "prompt engineering" than "prompt science", or any science whatsoever.

Yeah... They are all connected to the "three letter agencies", in Google's case it was very early, but I believe nobody can stay popular and not have all of these agencies infiltrate then take control of them.

This is true, but so far there are ways to disable much of this.

For example on a Ford, you can literally pull the fuse for the GSM modem. On a GM, you can pull the antenna from OnStar, and put a resister there in replacement... thus rendering it unable to communicate to home base.

> Why wouldn't any user want the software to be feature rich?

Users want feature rich systems. Individual programs are best feature-complete, but focused on a single task and capable of cooperating with others when something out of scope is desired.

From my personal viewpoint: It's not easy to hack on large monoliths, even for senior software engineers. But if every logical piece of the monolith tries to be as small as it meaningfully could, the barriers are drastically lower.

You'd be completely correct, the last 20 years of MMORPGs (which Genshin takes heavily from) have shown that alternative business models are always going to lead to perverse incentives in gameplay.

The success of gacha games is not in overcoming those steps, rather in capturing a new market that doesn't care about such perverse mechanics. They're not playing for the same reason you are playing games, persistency is the key here as a virtual "job" they play after their real job.

Searching now, I see that Atom x7425E (which is almost equivalent with N100, but it has a few extra features enabled, like in-band ECC, and it may happen to have a higher power consumption at default settings, because it is not tested @ 6 W, like N100; but for any Intel chip you can easily configure the desired power limits) can be bought as single pieces at Avnet for $79 (drops to $71 for 100 pieces) and at Mouser for EUR 79 (drops to EUR 67 for 100 pieces).

The Atom CPUs, like N100 and the other Alder Lake N/Amston Lake, do not use chipsets.

You can look at the Radxa X4 schematic to see what may be needed for power management and clock generation, besides the CPU package.

If you only need small quantities, the Atom branded Alder Lake N are easier to find than those branded as N100/N97/N200/i3-N305, which are normally sold in large quantities to the big manufacturers of computers. You can see the available models in Intel Ark, at the Atom x7000 series (Atom x72xx are 2-core, Atom x74xx are 4-core, Atom x78xx are 8-core).

> This headline made me think, "So you're just now discovering this?" Montreal was a disaster; LA 1984 ran a surplus. Cities that already have the sports venues can do all right; other cities have learned by now that building a whole bunch of new stuff is foolhardy.

Los Angeles 1984 had another plus besides having nearly all the sports venues already (they just needed to build a new velodrome and a new swim stadium).

They also already had nearly everything they needed for Olympic Village and to house the athletes and teams. They used student housing at USC and UCLA. It was summer and both of those schools have a large number of undergraduates who go home for the summer which left plenty of rooms available for the Olympics.

This is because of built in implicit rules in gnu make. https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Implicit-...

For bigger projects they are considered an anti-pattern and should be disabled (-r), because they can cause all kinds of surprises, (actually, using make to begin with is sortof an anti-pattern) . For example, implicit rules may try to compile using Fortran if it finds a file ending with .f, that's just the tip of the iceberg, getting unexpected outputs or missing outputs is another danger. There are also claims that disabling them can give a performance boost.

How do unions make shitty employees unfireable? From what I've seen, collective bargaining agreements usually mandate two things:

1. Documentation of 'just cause' for firing. Unlike standard at-will, you need a real reason to fire someone like poor performance.

2. You need to follow the specified disciplinary process.

This is just a formalized, bureaucratic version of the process that any legitimate termination for performance is going to follow anyway, so I'm not sure how it's a huge change.
