This is partially why my pride in my work is not around my code, but the product or output it creates. People care that the interfaces are good, the code style matches, and that it's maintainable. But they don't really care if it&

On the opposite side, this read to me like there was so much image processing going on in the background and off device that they felt like they needed to prove that there was a real image backing the creation, and that it was not all AI. I

My similar correlation question is with Minecraft. I know multiple people, myself included, who credit Minecraft with starting their career in computing. Would be interesting to hear how many people would credit Minecraft as their start.

It's most likely using vxworks for it's OS, since I believe it's one of the only fully certified ARINC653 OS's for human flight. It's used in most Aircraft and space missions.

My uncle works in the industry and was getting a new car recently. His two options were all electric or all ICE, because from his experience, EHEVs have the problems of both ICE and BEV vehicles.

That's why I always have a clear case on my Macbook I cover with stickers. That way, I can take them with me when I leave, or take them off if I have a big meeting/presentation!

A lot of the chips have started including NPUs. How are applications supposed to access that acceleration now with embedded Linux? Does linux handle this for you, or do you need to leverage some specific drivers like CUDA?

Exactly. We've looked at using Wireguard at my company, but because it can't be made FIPS compliant, it makes it a hard sell. There is a FIPS Wireguard implementation by WolfSSL, interestingly enough.

It was interesting to see that they didn't show the robot folding laundry; rather, just it laying out the clothes.

For me, it's the first true upgrade in the design of a phone in a long time. It's not a slightly better CPU or battery, but a different way to work with this key device in my life. I think it will be the default phone format in ~5

As mentioned by others, I think the art world has reached a major schism where there are two types of artists: those who target rich collectors and those who are more grassroots. I've been to a lot of the larger art shows in the US and

That's what our genetic councilor said as well. It's important to note autism is a spectrum and quite varied, some of it genetic and some of it related to other factors.

The take away from the teacher graphs were very different than my take aways. The author was bullish because ~55% used AI to help prep lessons. However, looking at the graph, I would be very bearish about the adoption of AI. Most of the gra

As a zennial, there are a couple things that contribute: 1. No one has a car when you're younger unless your parents are well off. Most people I know didn't have access to a car until college. Makes it hard to get to parties when

I agree. Honestly, looking at the most recent icons, they look like what I remember the icons from 2024 looking like. I weas surprised to see that they were not the icons I remembered.

This has been happening in the US for the past 10 years. The big switch has been away from coal and some slower natural gas generators towards more nimble natural gas generators. Coal and other natural gas generators take a while to start u

The biggest difference is radiation. Even in LEO, you will get radiation-caused Single Events that will affect the hardware. That could be a small error or a destructive error, depending on what gets hit.

I was thinking the same thing! I was looking all through the repo and site to see if they had any pictures of the apps running, or a setup using the device. To me, this is the easiest way to sell your project and show how cool it is!

Airlines will run the aircraft as long as possible. As another commenter mentioned, if an aircraft isn't in flight, it's in maintenance. All of these times it's on.
