Is there any advantage to doing it this way over just using a compute module?

The only thing that peaks my interest is the "LGA-style" connector for the raspi. Does anyone have photos of this or the part number?

Why chiplets? Can anyone explain to me why I'd want chiplets as opposed to a processor embedded in a Field Programmable Gate Array? Seems like development would be infinitely cheaper and the possibilities far more dynamic? Chiplets

Sample size 1, but I've got a kid. I've got an ipad. I put the two together in with supervision, and what I've got now is a 4 year old that reads the walls in the bathroom stall while she's pooping. I don't know i

In my youth, I was familiar with the facility that came before NIF, built in the 70's the goal at the time was to use a smaller target to demonstrate that the foundational principles that would underpin the success of NIF would work.

My father worked for what was basically a bootstrapped startup at the bleeding edge of computing in the late 80's. Eventually his company, through a series of exchanges was part of Nortel Networks. He'll tell you a different stor

CO2 may momentarily be one of a convoluted set of factors that contribute to the dominant harmonic component of the system with the output "global temperatures", but it is not in and of itself stable in it's relation to the o

You're implicit assumption is that the system's response to ever increasing CO2 is indefinitely linear and proportional? If you believe that I've got some beans you can buy. This equilibrium you're chasing is much more t

I'd also like to add that how easy an egg is to peel has nothing to do with how you cook it. Truly fresh eggs will not peel wonderfully. If you have some week old Kroger eggs, more than likely those things are several weeks old which

On that note (interestingly and anecdotally) many of these dams are inundated with ash and sediment that should have flushed downstream from Mt St Helens! The impact of these dams is just incomprehensible.

I don't always express myself clearly, but I meant that in a more holistic sense. If you were to construct a Venn diagram of remove vs stay in the case of many of the dams in the Columbia river basin, it's hard to objectively wei

Thanks for that. I hate to nit pick, but the issues surrounding the dams in the Columbia river basin are so complex and frustrating.. I honestly don't even know who or what is right at any given moment. I've torched friendships

Hilarious that you responded to a post that was about design wasting user time with a _video_ that takes 2.5 minutes to say, "...well, it doesn't necessarily waste that much time. It charges quickly."

do you really think it's likely that they can avoid short term discontinuities in this context? Maybe we should be looking farther ahead?

I'm not sure I completely understand your comment, but I think hierarchy is a structure that is useful for a society when the exchange of information is naturally constricted. Accreditation, status and authority are strong signals in

Honestly I've always shared a perspective much like this until yesterday someone mentioned that through the stimulus (I'm not sure of the figures, but what I roughly recall is) each citizen gets $1200 they're then taxed on, a

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure this is interesting. The media seems overly concerned with 'COVID-19' specifically and I'm sure the backers of this project like to see relevant keywords, but I think in terms of an outbreak

I've always been mystified by the modern definition of the word 'nature'. The word itself seems to describe a category without definite bounds. No uniform definition of the word seems capable of capturing all the outlying p

I came here to say this as well - Don't. This is of course my own opinion, and I can only promise this comment will get progressively more subjective the farther you read. R's documentation is terse and unorganized. Anyone who says differ
