Esp32 is a power hog and lacks pin configurability.

Hard to argue with that.
Any difference in performance on mobile development?

That's the way things have to go. Business risk is too high having everything ran over exposed networks.

What is your use case for BSD?

I dunno. I just learned what 'mogged' means 2 days ago. So probably not far.

I wonder if the 100 million dollar guys got a signing bonus like athletes. Just take 10 mill and chuck up deuces.
Even hardware. eMachines.
Doesn't Europe allow Chinese vehicles in their market? At least they admit it.

This isn't only reflected in educational standards. I've seen a ton more restrictions in traffic and speed limits in more affluent areas, and higher/less blatant enforcement in poorer areas, even when the poorer areas are more populated with children.
Re:How much revenue is needed to justify the current AI spend? on Saturday October 11, 2025 @06:50PM (#45553349)
I think the ai angle for warfare is overhyped. Most of the autonomous drone stuff happening in Ukraine is not running on bleeding edge nodes. It's radxa sbcs with process nodes from 10 years ago.
Re:Raspberry Pi Synthesizers – How the Pi is transforming synths on Saturday September 13, 2025 @01:28PM (#45233772)
Facts. Dedicated dsp chips face a shrinking market for audio with sbcs being so powerful these days.

Maybe they'll make a better abstraction layer than cuda.

Facts. I don't do the late hours on code anymore either. Rest is essential.
A chief source of management missteps I've seen is not talking to people and just making consequential decisions because they think a jira board gives them insight.

This is true. Skepticism can keep you free from mlm scams, but that same trait will keep you from buying bitcoin when it's at .0001 cents.
Re:Airbrush art of the 80s was Chrome-tastic (2015) on Thursday August 14, 2025 @09:35PM (#44907705)
That's a complaint I have about 80s music. So perfectly synthesized, it's fake. That's why I like 70s guitar and drums over 80s. Humans make artistic mistakes; it adds character.
Re:Try and on Sunday August 10, 2025 @09:10PM (#44859861)
That's cap. 'Ir' is usually used in the english language to denote the negative of the following property that follows it, e.g. irrespective meaning not respective. Regardless alone signals the negative assertion of the following property, so a prepending of 'ir' before it connotes a not-not, a double negative, and against the context of what is trying to be communicated. Having a problem with this abuse of language/meaning/communication is to be expected.

Irregardless of this, what's your take on irregardless?
Re:Descent of Inanna into the Underworld on Monday August 04, 2025 @10:37AM (#44786413)
Why wouldn't they? Why would modern, science-oriented people be expected to relate to mythology from 6000 years ago?

No

The fall of civilizations episode about sumeria ending with a description of the underworld is one of the spookiest things I've ever heard.

How do you rank the evil list? For me, Palantir is an easy #1.
Re:A.I. Researchers Are Negotiating $250M Pay Packages on Sunday August 03, 2025 @09:21AM (#44776404)
Given history of the guy at the helm, most likely won't.
Re:A.I. Researchers Are Negotiating $250M Pay Packages on Sunday August 03, 2025 @09:19AM (#44776396)
I take that more as a rumination on the futility of vanity and self-aggrandizing rather than "ruling the world " which in the modern day comes down to politics. Yes, there is considerable overlap with ego, but there's more to that topic than pure self-worship.
Maybe it's a throwback fashion statement.

I just started playing with rust again today. Godspeed.

I guess simplification needs to include "at what level" as a qualifier.
