Same here. Embedded programmer, primary language being C. I sat here staring at that line for a solid 30 seconds trying to understand the intent - it’s nonsensical. I read your comment and see the intent you’re guessing at but… you would no

I think anytime you need to start stepping through assembly instructions instead of C in a debugger is also when you start reflecting on life choices.

Not a hardware bug, but in embedded I ran into a fun one early into my first job. I setup a CI pipeline that took a PR number and used it as the build number in a MAJOR.MINOR.BUILD scheme for our application code. CI pipeline done, everythi

Have you found a solution to mid-large scale embedded test setup? Could you provide some shallow insight into frameworks or other infrastructure used for embedded testing? I've previously been responsible for firmware testing small pro

I have a limited understanding, but I think this is just further reproduction of the same science. I believe there's some controversy over non-locality in that entanglement and spooky action at a distance is still a result of hidden lo

I find it sad that things like rising sea levels and mass extinction do not worry you. Should someone only care about things that affect their own personal life? Rising sea levels are going to affect a large amount of people negatively, and

How does a wealth tax work when the majority of your assets are illiquid? Stake in a company, real estate, etc. are difficult to tax and still have predictable recurring tax revenue, right?

I don't have a strong background in AI/ML, but aren't quite a few advances in this tech driven by a "throw at the wall and see what sticks" attitude? I was under the impression that the "why" in some mecha

It's a rollout that probably wouldn't happen all at once. Human drivers for tough conditions, while self driving vehicles inhabit Arizona and LA.

I see this attitude a lot when this type of discussion comes up. People seem to focus a lot on the idea that if you "run your life into the corner" then it automatically becomes acceptable that you're stuck with that lot in l

Could you possibly dive into this? The electron slit experiment shows that superposition exists in a fundamental way in our universe. You can even measure quantum effects with objects as large as buckyballs. Isn't it sort of obvious th

Just because the presented solution serves facebook positively doesn't mean it's bad in some way. It's good to be wary of the bias, but don't dismiss the claim because of it.

Ho. Lee. Shit. I'm in the satellite telecoms domain - this is incredible and will have far reaching consequences after a decade. Unfortunate that R&D and hardware lead times are so long in this industry.
