RISC-V is a family of instruction sets (which have various chips implementing them). Think "X86-64". It looks like the baochip-1x is using the VexRiscv CPU. The HDL is available here under MIT: https://github.com/S

It is much like a game might use a physics engine, or a new language might use the LLVM backend. To overly simplify, a CAD kernel will keep a list of operations (make a cube of this size here, drill a hole of this depth here, round these ed

We even use aluminium on "dumb" transformers for power transmission. Dry-type transformers tend to be physically larger because they use air and resin (rather than a tank of oil) to insulate, and so the major downside to aluminium

I think the issue might stem from the fact that (as I read it) the essay is talking about "for the people who are moderate (in the middle of the left/right axis), some are distributed higher on your graph, while some are lower&quo

I missed it on the first read-through but there is a link to the code used to run the simulations in the first appendix. Homegrown python code (i.e. not a library), very nicely laid out. And would form a good basis for more experiments for

If anyone is wondering where 2.08 comes from like me. First we consider the case with no GST, where the gross-up multiplier is x1.8868 ($1887). This is the pre-tax earnings at 47% required to get a post-tax benefit of $1000. i.e. $1887 x (1

I'd argue that the steelman position might be: "Understand the treatment dynamics". Treating a linear-response in the vitamin deficiency case with a binary threshold, and treating the bifurcation point in exponential battles

I've heard "pixels" used generically to refer to the bundle of tracking code from a particular vendor in the marketing department at work. e.g. "Have you enabled the Facebook pixel?" means have you embedded the Java

This doesn't match with my experience. I have a single catchall *@my-domain.com address that will receive anything sent to the domain (without setting up separate accounts ahead of time). You can also send from any address, but I agree

I've used IronCAD, Solidworks, pro/e and AutoDesk Inventor. If you're approaching 3D modelling as a draftsperson, IronCAD was much more productive. Want to change this part, just do it. Want to specify a relationship, you can

I think something like the Games Workshop/Warhammer 40k approach would work well here [1]. Lego has enough settings/worlds to hand off to different studios, and you have all the high-profile partnerships (like Star Wars, Harry Pot

I'll try to give my perspective, though it's mostly expanding on em500's [1] 3rd paragraph. I think you're asking the wrong question about prophet - most users don't care "how good is it?" but instead &quo

I'm also not an expert: based only on my reading of Wikipedia, you are correct and it is bonkers from a US perspective. The photographer may be in breach of Twitter's ToS for enforcing their moral rights, but that would not _stop_

I had to edit the expiry date on the "redesign_optout" cookie that gets placed when you tick the optout. But an add-on (see sibling comment) is probably more reliable long-term.

Changes to the way that DHCP works. There are now different methods if you're handing out subnets to a router, IPs to an end device or allowing devices to (automatically) self assign. And not all devices support all methods.

I think one of the best counterexamples is The Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. If names (and more generally English words) conveyed no meaning on their own and were simply keys in a large fuzzy hash table, the poem would be completely opaque

Have you seen the episode of Scrapheap challenge/Junkyard wars where they did just that (in a shed, with a pile of scraps!) [1]? However they made "wet" subs rather than dry, and nothing required to last 2km of travel, which
