dbuder··on Bare metal printf – C standard library without OS
It's 1990, maybe 1999, in embedded land.
dbuder··on 4chan Sharty Hack And Janitor Email Leak
"genuinely curious" is the new one I see everywhere lately.
dbuder··on Intel sells 51% stake in Altera to private equity firm on a $8.75B valuation
It was a forced acquisition, iirc they made promises to Altera to get them to use their foundry, failed to keep those promises and could either get sued and embarrassed or just buy Altera outright for about what they were worth before the deal.
dbuder··on 2 GHz Active Probe
No, there was a DIY diode prob with a headline number high enough, but I think he said real world performance would be about 8ghz, that's only part of the problem anyway. I had a look, I can't find the forum post or the podcast he was on (amphour). Either rent an appropriate USB analyzer or scope. If you just want to verify the speed of your consumer equipment look for a software solution to measure throughput (there is significant protocol overhead). At the required speed you can't even use BNCs.
dbuder··on FAA investigating how counterfeit titanium got into Boeing and Airbus jets
Asif they don't have a handheld XRF to check everything that comes off the truck, the concern is the quality.
dbuder··on I got tired of hearing that YC fired Sam, so here's what actually happened
In risk capital businesses making money from side deals/gigs has long been acceptable, but there has always been a line and Sam danced right over even the most generous conception of it and was duly removed.
dbuder··on Sam Altman is showing us who he really is
Yes, an Open AI
dbuder··on If you’re seeing this, I’m in jail [video]
He has a Victoria Cross (Medal of Honor equivalent), you basically have to be mental and not care for your own life to get one, so we shouldn't turn around and be shocked when they don't value the lives of the enemy and their supporters.

dbuder··on ESP32-S3 has a few SIMD instructions
If they didn't copy the peripheral blocks, then all they did was implement the ARM IP just like ST Micro did in a way to be pin to pin compatible with the STM32 chips. Happy to learn otherwise. I wouldn't put them in a real product for many reasons but this is not one of them.
dbuder··on The FCC needs to stop 5G fast lanes
How many times do we need to fight the same battle? Where I live Netflix has a fast lane and from 6:30pm to 10:30pm every night my internet is unusable.

dbuder··on Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton Discusses Stock Updates, Industry Prioritization
3000y is far too little to do the dev work to bring the software up to par

imo the failure to ramp up production is the unforgivable part

dbuder··on The Quiet Political Rise of David Sacks, Silicon Valley’s Prophet of Urban Doom
For a guy with a private jet, Sacks has the worldliness of someone who has never had a passport. As soon as the conversation ventures outside the USA he makes basic factual errors but delivers it with all the confident bluster we have come to expect from VCs.

Bond traders are generally old white male republicans
dbuder··on Sam Zeloof and Jim Keller start a new semiconductor fab

dbuder··on SBF Caught Using VPN While Awaiting Criminal Trial [pdf]
Revoke his bail! He has always been a major flight risk due to the possibility that he has squirreled away many millions via crypto. 250m of surety has not been provided and now due to the use of a VPN we cannot be assured he has not already made arrangements to flee and or tampered with witnesses.
dbuder··on Meta was scraping sites for years while fighting the practice
Be the biggest hypocrite possible seems to be his motto
dbuder··on Missing radioactive capsule found in WA outback after frantic search
"Nuclear powered subs, there is no intent or request to provide nuclear weapons"

Oh there is intent - enough nukes to end a superpower from the grave is our goal

dbuder··on Missing radioactive capsule found in WA outback after frantic search
It was prob the bikies that are associated with the union - a lot of drug money is washed via real estate development

The state politician who set the anti terror squad on friendlyjordies is more concerning from a freedom standpoint

dbuder··on Sam Bankman-Fried accused of possible witness tampering [pdf]
This is why he should never have been given bail - a sophisticated schemer that has an answer for everything and never gives up

At least we might yet find out who paid said bail cough marc cough

dbuder··on DiscoBSD: 2.11BSD-Based OS for STM32 and PIC32 Microcontrollers
This is great - I like RTEMS but I was looking for something like DiscoBSD when I found it Any comments on developing with either would be most appreciated
dbuder··on Mercedes is the first automaker to offer Level 3 self-driving in the US
People are so blase about these prototypes roaming free - do people really think the trolley problem is directly applicable to these technologies or is just greed like everything else?

dbuder··on What free, ad-supported Uber rides might look like
You would like your radiostation in your workspace yes and not have to suffer the whims of others The relationship is not business and customer it is prisoner and prison guard - many customers will reduce a drivers rating for for the tiniest thing and in turn they do it back
dbuder··on Caroline Ellison and Gary Wang are cooperating in the criminal case against SBF
