I miss the years of writing CLI tools, web servers and clients, in Ada (and of course, real-time complex distributed system...). Felt so simple and right and fast and robust. The code is still readable today and maintaining it is a zero effort today. Clean Java without the enterprise BS was a close second in ease of programming - boilerplate be damned.

I'm glad NVIDIA found a way to make GPUs programmable and got us out of the shaders tarpit, but did it have to be C++...

Also a good one.

Asterix is an actual standard for radar data, coming from civilian radar systems. I wish it was updated somehow for 3d beam-steered (and moving) sensors, but still it covers most of the industry's needs... I keep hearing so many grumblings of replacing it (it is binary, unforgiving, quirky, very 80s...) and of course fragmentation is back in.

I was thinking the point was it was so light to have it hanging on the cables themselves, as I'm certain absolutely no one does in any of their installations...

But then why bother with having a display at all?

Just in case, and for people who actually do cable management...

Building micromvs with no network support helps with isolation and (more) kernel surface reduction.

Been hoping for some time someone would write it better than my local ugly hack. This immediately useful. Thanks a bunch.

"European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) is a joint venture between TSMC, Bosch, Infineon and NXP to establish an advanced semiconductor fab in Dresden, Saxony, Germany." https://www.esmc.eu/en/index.html If that's the best ARM chip (not counting Intel Ireland) factory in Europe, it's 12 nanometers. That's a decade obsolete and I'm not sure the blueprints were designed for such an old foundry.

Thanks. I was just wondering, since I think I saw NXP had Arm SKUs with Mali GPU and had some hope someone here would Cunningham's Law me.

For more in this vein, look up "Automation should be like Iron Man, not like Ultron". Sad to see so many people let go of their agency.

without Iron Man's plot armor, Ultron would have won

I'm curious whether actual inference workloads actually push to 600W (and not 350W) and what the last 250W get you. Rare is the (generic gpu) workload where I get >5%, some rare light inference benchmarks up to 10%...

They don't usually max out for single prompts, but concurrency in the form of multiple users and/or multiple agents will make them draw full power.

Data movement and local operations are still bottlenecked today on memory bandwidth. Butterfly primitives, sorting/fft/1D-convolution, the whole cub library, could be ported there and have great performance wins. But the pain of programming and maintaining code using this...

Venlafaxine has also been a godsend for me. My doctor started me on ut first and past the two weeks of rebalancing (big ideation swings and so much calling to act on it...) and all kinds of pains (digestive mostly), it literally allowed me to smile again, which my wife realized hadn't happened in over a year.

I can relate to the feeling when missing a dose. No tolerance for being forgetful. Lots of anxiety brought by this tether... and the permanent anorgasmia (in my case) is sad but I was dying...

Sadly I built tolerance over 2 years and had to stop, taper off (horrible experience) and try others (most that were cited in this comment section). All had painful and very annoying side effects and tapering was a pain after trying and each time feeling so disappointed and tired. Most worked on reducing ideation but the costs (inability to concentrate, brain fog, sometimes inability to work) were too high.

Turns out tolerance to venlafaxine ebbs out after some time, so after a moment I was able to restart for a year until I didn't need antidepressants anymore.

I've learned reading forums of the gamut of experiences with antidepressants and just want to add a voice to 'they can work, great even, not perfect' and between dying and trying them (with clear open eyes about the tradeoffs) I'd advise trying.
