Yes, this is a very good point. Low-end application processors capable of running Linux are also very cheap now and it is easy to build a minimal system for around a few bucks (eg. Allwinner F1C100s, although it does not have an Ethernet MA

You can install the extension directly from a cloned copy of the Github repo (basically as if you were the extension developer). No auto-updates or anything since it's just loaded from some files on your disk. Chrome will nag you about

The i7-5820K is from the "high end desktop" line of chips, derived from Xeon workstation chips. The modern equivalent is chips like the i9-10900X (note X not K), which does have quad channel DDR4-2933 and 48 PCIe lanes. Clock spee

The $3B FTC fine was deducted from Q1 2019's income, substantially increasing the effective tax rate for that quarter. The fine was not a tax-deductible expense.

It's not too complicated, at least in theory. Typically you decide a lens model ahead of time that has some unknown calibration parameters (eg. focal length, skew, radial/tangential distortion). For a given lens/sensor system

The piece of paper a USO investor holds is shares in the fund. The fund itself holds the futures that are contracts for oil delivery. Limited liability protects the fund's shareholders.

This is about bitstream encryption , so there is an expectation of confidentiality. The keys needed to decrypt the bitstream are stored in nonvolatile memory on the FPGA itself. Assuming that it is implemented correctly (evidently not in t

That's not exactly true once you have to deal with vector extensions like AVX-512. It's quite a pain to write by hand (C intrinsics) and many of the ways to abstract it away end up giving you a GPU-like programming model (eg. Inte

Yes, they are accepted on the application. Many of the undergrads at MIT qualified for the AIME. A substantial number qualified for the USAMO or IMO as well - just look at the Putnam results every year. Frankly, in order to stand out among

It was removed in Skylake, not Broadwell. Ice Lake reintroduces the FIVR again. The inductors are now in the package substrate (rather than discrete inductors on the package or the weird 3DL module in Broadwell-Y) and efficiency at low powe

For a true turn-key solution you probably need the entire stack from sensors up to software. Intel's RealSense cameras (the T265 specifically) is probably the most reasonably priced option for a hobbyist with reasonable APIs. Visual an

It's actually a lot larger if you look at vector registers - AVX registers are 32 bytes each and there are also ~168 of them in modern AMD and Intel CPUs, resulting in 5KB of registers. With AVX-512 the number is 10KB!

This just means Geekbench isn't good at scaling to multiple cores. It could be the workload or the implementation. If you have the right workload and a good implementation, modern processors do scale reasonably well (all numbers with T
