> Can the Zynq 7010 handle something like data transfer from a 4K image sensor to a USB 3 transceiver?

The Zynq 7010 is less-than-ideal for this because you'd have to use some kind of USB3 interface PHY - which would increase cost and be pretty limited functionality-wise.

If you use an FPGA with transceivers (some 7 series Artix chips - https://www.lcsc.com/product-detail/Programmable-Logic-Devic..., most 7 series Virtex/Kintex chips, all US/US+ chips), you can implement USB3 without an external PHY: https://github.com/enjoy-digital/usb3_pipe

The Z7010 probably has the area to do this type of translation but not the transceivers. There are other chips in the 7 series Zynq family with capable transceivers, but they are much more expensive ($15-$35 from CN).

> I was under the impression the PIO has fairly precise timing if you set up your clocks right, but maybe I've been misled here.

No measured data, but when I was once implementing JTAG and SPI at 50MHz+ with an extremely overclocked chip, the edges were very inconsistent in relation to each other and in pulse width - 5-15ns (estimating from memory, they were sloppy.)

PIO is very precise within its specified capabilities, this range is just very low compared to cheap FPGAs.

I’ve seen it marketed as “organic caffeine” in some beverages. Organic coffee was the base.

Bit of an eye roll from me, but hey whatever.
Agreed, it used to be even harder. But on the other hand, there were also way less papers back then to have to sift through :)
I mean look at this very website. It has none of that.
I don't know about you, but I write my 1 in just one stroke of the pen. Also I use a space as a thousands separator, and you need to write 一万 in Japanese for 10 000, not just 万 by itself. That makes for a closer game:

一 / 1 (one stroke vs one)

十 / 10 (two strokes vs two)

一万 / 10 000 (or 10K) (four strokes vs five)

When you get to numbers like 5462, there's no contest versus 五千四百六十二.
Actually, seeking the bias numbers can be quite illuminating.
Glad it helped.

I've used online quantile estimators (GK in particular) to very effectively look for anomalies in streaming data.

It worked much better than the usual mean/stddev threshold approach (which was embedded in competing producsts), because it made no assumptions about the distribution of the data.

One thing to note is that GK is online, but not windowed, so it looks back to the very first value.

However this can be overcome by using multiple, possibly overlapping, summaries, to allow old values to eventually drop off.
I always thought it was to make more room for businesses and other useless information that crowds google maps these days.
Some do very well, though I don’t know if any single person is consistently getting 10 per day. I used to follow the 90 Day Fiance subreddit and folks were always linking to videos from the more well-liked cast members. Several have over $100,000 in revenue if the sites tracking these sort of things can be believed.
Same. We're still managing ESXi here at my company. Docker/K8s/etc are nowhere close to prod and probably never will be. Been very pleased with that decision.

I will say that Docker images get one HUGE use case at our company - CUDA images with consistent environments. CUDA/pytorch/tensorflow hell is something I couldn't imagine dealing with when I was in college studying CS a few decades ago.

Just not true. Cheap coffee is already robusta anyways, and arabica is used in good quality decaf coffee. Even still, arabica is consistently used as a marketing bullet for coffee… even if there’s plenty of really really bad arabica coffee out there.
> distinctive features on them that I recognize by sight

Now this would be a cool blog post!
I’ve got an old t3i running magic lantern that has features camera makers still refuse to integrate, such as punching in digitally to check for focus while recording video, zebra stripes, and focus peaking. Admittedly most the stuff I want is related to video but I was sideloading firmware with these features (the aforementioned Magic Lantern) in 2013.
I agree. VMs rely on old technologies, and are reliable in that way. By contrast, the move to Docker then necessitated additional technologies, such as Kubernetes, and Kubernetes brought an avalanche of new technologies to help manage Docker/Kubernetes. I am wary of any technology that in theory should make things simpler but in fact draws you down a path that requires you to learn a dozen new technologies. The Docker/Kubernetes path also drove up costs, especially the cost associated with the time needed to set up the devops correctly. Anything that takes time costs money. When I was at Averon the CEO insisted on absolutely perfect reliability and therefore flawless devops, so we hired a great devops guy to help us get setup, but he needed several weeks to set everything up, and his hourly rate was expensive. We could have just "push some code to a server" and we would have saved $40,000. When I consult with early stage startups, and they worry about the cost of devops, I point out that we can start simply, by pushing some code to a server, as if this was still 2001, and we can proceed slowly and incrementally from there. While Docker/Kubernetes offers infinite scalability, I warn entrepreneurs that their first concern should be keeping things simple and therefore low cost. And then the next step is to introduce VMs, and then use something like Packer to enable the VMs to be uses as AMIs and so allow the devops to develop to the point of using Terraform -- but all of that can wait till the product actually gains some traction.
That change is hilarious. So many potentially goofy reasons for it happening but my best take is google deciding not to host any data it can’t mine or use. The privacy policy on location history was quite good and effectively granted users privacy.
Namespaces and cgroups and LXC and the whole alphabet soup, the “Docker Industrial Complex” to borrow your inspired term, this stuff can make sense if you rack your own gear: you want one level of indirection.

As I’ve said many times, putting a container on a serverless on a Xen hypervisor so you can virtualize while you virtualize? I get why The Cloud wants this, but I haven’t the foggiest idea why people sit still for it.

As a public service announcement? If you’re paying three levels of markup to have three levels of virtual machine?

You’ve been had.

You either own the stock or you don’t. If you paid federal income taxes on it, they have to let you sell it as you get it if you want, otherwise it isn’t real income. They can restrict when you sell it afterwards, but only in the cause of avoiding insider trading, and you can set up a plan to sell it blindly if you’d like.
Obviously I can't speak for all small businesses.

We spend our profits in different ways. Some of it goes to future planning (bigger stock piles, larger cash reserves, growing headcount etc). Technically all our working capital, all our assets, all our stock, has been funded by "retained income".

That said we also pay bonuses (13th check) in profitable years , and we issue dividends to owners. The dividends can be significant. Or 0. Or less than 0 (salary deferred in bad years.)

We want long-term sustainability , but also returns for being owners (otherwise we might as well go get a job somewhere. )

Organic growth is fine, sales going up is good, but we're not looking for hyper growth.

There us no "exit" (for the business) on the cards. An IPO is out of the question, and having seen the destruction caused by corporate acquisitions that's not a route we like either.

It's not glamorous being a small business churning out regular profits. But it pays well.

Android, on the other hand, is a dumpster fire. The worst SDK I've worked in my life, building UIs there is incredibly frustrating.

And those trade in Tesla's are being scrapped, and used to build reefs on diving spots.. sorry I know. But, the headline implies a disaster. What's happening is that people who want new cars don't just want ev new cars, they want new cars. And guess what? Somebody wants their EV.

So this is actually a good ish news story. Ideally yes they would be encouraged to get an EV but they aren't. That's life.

I'm in a wealthy suburb of Salt Lake City where I can walk to the nearest grocery store, or take my kids to school in a cargo bike on miles of protected bike paths. It's wonderful, but it's also much more expensive to live here than in suburbs without those sorts of amenities. I'm a bit of a sucker for online urbanism (I've spent a lot of time in the Netherlands and it's hard not to want that sort of infrastructure here in the US) but I always feel a bit icky about how "strong towns" basically mean rich towns in the US.

Thanks for that summary. Was difficult to follow.

Sacks (and his mentor / former boss Thiel) seem to be a net negative for humanity.

Him as POTUS would further erode our rights. But extreme wealthy folks like Thiel, Sacks don’t care because it won’t impact them.

I like to say that Docker wouldn’t exist if the Python packaging and dependency management system weren’t complete garbage. You can draw a straight line from “run Python” to dotCloud to Docker.

Does that jive with your experience/memory at all? How much of your motivation for writing Docker could have been avoided if there were a sane way to compile a Python application into a single binary?

It’s funny, this era of dotCloud type IaaS providers kind of disappeared for a while, only to be semi-revived by the likes of Vercel (who, incidentally, moved away from a generic platform for running containers, in favor of focusing on one specific language runtime). But its legacy is containerization. And it’s kind of hard to imagine the world without containers now (for better or worse).

Specifically they pushed the problem to the load-balancer so they get to check this one too.

(x) your solution requires a central authority that cannot be unavailable

I'm amazed the author doesn't consider that the load-balancers in this situation are effectively acting as non-voting witnesses and that the whole system hinges on the lbs being able to correctly determine the healthy nodes. In a single-master setup the network partition that cuts the line between the lbs and the current master (but nothing else) is a fun one. Everything would be fine if you could promote a new master but who's gonna tell em'?

I agree with you on Healthcare and retirement. And there are non-financial benefits to owning shares where you work.

But any investment manager will recommend that your savings are diversified. That helps to insulate you from individual events thus making your savings more resistant to failure.

So you might invest in public shares, or property, or personal energy (residential solar) and so on. You might mix different kinds of shares. Etc.

By contrast owning shares where you work offers few financial upsides. It may or may not out perform the market. It may or may not be liquid. And so on.

It does however come with substantial financial risk. With one point of failure, one event, you can lose your income and savings.

Only you can decide if the risk is worth the upside. For most people, it's not.
All if the 30 story concrete apartment blocks are designed to soak up as much labor from rural areas as possible, so they aren’t the same people building 100 story sky scrapers in Shanghai. They use more concrete, the walls, floors are thicker, and so in, because this occupies a sweet spot where China is able to leverage migrant workers. This style of construction has also been exported to the rest of Asia (eg Singapore) and even the Middle East (Dubai), where you might just substitute Indian for Chinese migrant worker in the latter case (not completely unskilled of course, but we aren’t talking highly skilled either). And it’s not really wrong, if the buildings are used this is a good value, but if you wait even 10 years to fill them, I don’t think it makes financial sense anymore. 20 years is a good guesstimate if the buildings aren’t maintained very well, which will be true if they aren’t used and/or lived in.

Anyways, even if the buildings are torn down before used, this is seen as additional GDP so officials don’t care so much. You record GDP on construction and GDP on destruction, so the building longevity is a feature rather than a problem.

Yeah that’s the way I see it, instead of trying to get traditional celebrities to ‘sell out’ without hurting their band it is easier to extend the existing monetization options of the new emergent celebrity class to include longer and more private sessions.

If you've got 30 people on a committee, or 30 people on your board, well, good luck with that (in any context.)

My business has always had 3 or 4 people as owners, and hence as the "executive committee". I've found that to be helpful. If you can't convince your fellow owners then it's likely a bad idea.

(We've also turned away good ideas, and executed on bad ideas, the group approach is not infallible.)

But it really helps to develop a vision beyond just "my idea this morning" before diving into implementation.

Ah, so the issue here is the difference between quickSort and quickSelect. In both cases you pick a pivot and divide the data into two partitions - but in quickSort you then recurse on both partitions, and in quickSelect you determine which partition your target is in and recurse only on that one.

So you're right that dividing into chunks of 5 and iterating over them doesn't affect the scaling - you wind up with an array of (N/5) medians, and it's still O(N) to iterate over that array. But the next step isn't to sort that array, you only need to quickSelect on it, and that's why the final step is O(N) rather than O(NlogN).
Yeah that's actually very close to what I am thinking, if I get some expensive high value panels, I'm at a fairly high latitude (46N) so the winter-summer angle difference is extreme - winter 69.77 degrees, summer 17.27 degrees. I plan to do it with something like angle iron and fasteners but it's a big angle adjustment. I may actually hang them on the side of the barn with standoffs at the bottom in the winter, and in the summer lay them flat on the ground.
There is nothing saying that a product needs to pay for all the processes inherent in making that particular product.

There is value in having flat pricing across all your products. Especially if some of them aren't as popular, yet might driving purchasing decisions.

Consider cafes that need to stock decaf, but want to buy from a single supplier. If you don't have decaf you're not going to see their custom, despite their order largely being non-decaf.

So they'll want to supply decaf, but in order to encourage the sale of it (so they can reach a better economy of scale) keep the price the same as the equivalent non-decaf.

NASA does a lot of things. If they'd been given SpaceX's capital and a mandate to build reusable rockets, I'm sure they could. They're world-class engineers.

I'm not going to read his biography for the sake of your post. Rich people like to act as if they're uniquely good leaders, but it's easy to take credit from a room full of people when they're all on your payroll. If Musk had something to contribute other than fame and cash, name it.

> Becoming the richest man in the world through his investing is a whopper of a reason that it was well spent.

Not at all. Him becoming rich benefits nobody but himself. Funnelling money toward one individual's personal wealth is an extremely poor allocation of resources.

Barely. And so what? Pet rocks were profitable. Did we actually need SpaceX? Is this really best the direction that so many billions of dollars worth of economic activity could have been directed? Is Elon Musk, the buffoon who ruined Twitter, really the person who should be making that choice?

> Control systems engineers have been studying and documenting systems using Simulink-style block diagrams since at least the 1960s.

It dates to at least the 1940s with signal flow graphs (1) but from what I've heard, Shannon was working on fire control systems for the Navy and his work was classified. Some of that was famously published in A Mathematical Theory of Communication (2) where there are block diagrams for information systems, and Mason worked out Mason's Gain Rule/Formula in the early 1950s.

I would not be surprised if graphical representations date back to the 1920s/30s when abstracting electrical systems into things like circuit diagrams that ignore grounding were pretty common, or even earlier.

There's a bit of contradiction in the article. The main objection is the author's feeling of uneasiness in open spaces. "liminal spaces" created by, for example, large parking lots. The author then complains that these wide open spaces are not "walkable". What? They are certainly walkable by their very design! What they are not, it seems is the real objection, are cozy spaces lined with tacqueiras and coffee shops.
