It's worse than that -- there is not a single piece of hardware that implements RVA23 available to be bought on the market today. There are SoCs on the market that implement RVV (Vector extensions), and SoCs on the market that implemen

Most of the low-level pieces are in Rust, the TUI is written in Python and most of the remaining pieces are getting lowered down to the Rust libraries over time. (It was all Python up until ~6 months ago) EDIT: Oh, and you can buy the Grays

Firmware can sometimes get a bit complicated due to third party IP used and whether that can be opensourced, but within those constraints this is the ambition. I.e things like memory controller setup and link training is often constrained b

Zero work? I guess memory fades quickly sometimes. Apple rented out DTK systems for $500 for developers to get their hands on ARM hardware and port their applications. Hardly zero work. You couldn't even keep the hardware, you had to s

Good writeup, and lots of detail. But my immediate conclusion isn't "Signals are dangerous and let's go deep on the complexity thereof". Instead, my primary conclusion really is "Someone forgot to write a testcase t

Yeah, Intel clearly has no interest in helping RISC-V succeed. https://www.zdnet.com/article/intel-invests-in-open-source-r...

LI-FI,,, It's sad how the ND-100/500 (and 5000+) families have almost completely disappeared, including online material about them. The IT department at my university was involved in NDIX development (BSD for ND-5000), I believe.

FireWire (or at least OHCI-1394) had another fun feature: It exposed memory from the machine over the bus. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/core-api/debugging-vi... [EDIT: This was 100% feature, no

This is 2+ years old, and the Github has seen zero updates. Seems like a dead-end effort to me.

Unfortunately a low-signal article and announcement: No release date, no pricing, nothing in-depth.

Be careful about diving in and doing too much work yourself as a developer. If you do, sure, your team now has 11 engineers instead of 10. 10% bump! What can you, as their manager, do to instead increase their productivity by 10%? Likely ma

Did they remove multi profile login?! You used to be able to login with several accounts and switch between them similar to virtual desktops.

That falls apart as soon as the map and the real world deviates and you need to drive based on what’s in front of you. Lidar helps you spot obstructions, but won’t tell you what they are and won’t help you figure out what to do to avoid the

Apply for internship. Doing well on an internship is a great way to get a foot in the door after graduation.

I said that there was an option to get retention grant as stock, options or cash (usually just the two former but at least once all three were available). Nothing about raises or bonuses being over 4 years. I actually can't remember ge

Ex-Tesla employee here. I'm not going to comment on any of the statements because I know nothing of it, but I wanted to give one angle to the "performance bonus not paid out": Like most employers, Tesla gives out a mix of rai

That's a _really_ narrow use case for a business to make a product like this, and those distro vendors are already building on Cavium or Qualcomm platforms with significantly higher performance than this hardware. Besides, with Cortex-

Macchiatobin is a pretty good alternative these days. Mini-ITX form factor, 4 relatively high-performance cores, good amount of RAM and PCIe/SATA/10GbE.

As others, I 100% agree with this and it's what I've also been focusing on as a manager. Someone told me: Once you have 10 people on your team, if you spend 100% time coding, you increase amount of coding by 10%. Instead, either s
