I signed up for Comcast Xfinity using a brand new “hide my email” address and three months later I started receiving phishing emails at that address. (I’ve gotten over half a dozen so far). Made me realize that either Comcast was hacked (wi

Yeah it’s 2021 and Chinese manufactured are more reliable and higher quality than anything American made. As an anecdote I build PCBs for a hobby and I’ve purchased PCBs and chips from both cheap Chinese fabs and suppliers as well as Ameri

Jeez as a Chinese person who lives in USA I find this comment very condescending and offensive. > But China, while increasingly mature economically, has not developed proper civil society, human rights, freedom of expression, democracy,

It’s a highly technical problem that doesn’t have much practical use. Essentially it says that a weak (polynomial time) classical computer (called the “verifier”) with the ability to query (polynomial number of times) a small number of all-

Assuming both Intel and AMD implement performance monitors the same (i.e. same notion of instructions executed, which may be hard to measure with speculative execution), the comparison is still flawed because it doesn’t matter if Intel can

If everyone is happier, less stressed, and as a result less productive, then isn’t that a good trade off? Shouldn’t we all strive to work less hours if it means better mental health? That’s what I would wonder.

Instead of complaining about the quality of the article, I’m thinking about the open question at the end. What would be a higher level abstraction for FPGA development? Is it possible to create a language around FSMs? Most hardware seems to

Great app but the ability to remap caps lock to Esc on an external iPad keyboard is why I went with Blink shell instead.

The article is garbage so I skimmed the paper. Here's what I gleaned (apologizes for any mistakes). So they created a modified RISC-V architecture and added a tagging infrastructure. 64-bit registers become 66-bits. L1/L2 cache ar

Auto analysis when you have barely any information. Any tool can make nice output if you feed it nice input. Try a partial dump from an exotic device and then you’ll see IDA shine.
