Re:Open Source Thinkpad T420 Battery Design on Sunday August 30, 2020 @04:52AM (#24322230)
I'm on the lookout for a FHD IPS screen for the T420 that is compatible for max 150$.

Where do I source those?

Google captcha makes some sites almost unusable on firefox if you dare to resist fingerprinting for full traceability.

I do something similiar with my keys: "I'm putting my keys on the sideboard".

Before that I occasionally "lost" my keys because the location was never safed to my long term memory. At least that's reproducably the error why I sometimes just couldn't remember.

Re:A RISC-V chip with built-in neural networks on Monday October 08, 2018 @02:46PM (#18170162)
From the comments by user Zepan:

Hi, thanks for your report ! I’m zepan, the shopkeeper of Sipeed Tech. Taobao shop, Sipeed M1 is our first AI moulde ,and the second RISC-V module.

I need correct some mistake in your article, and supplement some information.

1. The chip name is K210, not K201; and it is RV64GC.

2. It have 8MB high speed SRAM, not 6MB.

3. There are 5.9MB SRAM can be used for convolutional neural network acceleration, so, it is possible to run small model like tiny-yolo v2,MobileNet, as you see in face detection routine video.

4. It isn’t preoder mode before 10.7, but it is too popular that it is sold out in 10.7, and I change it to preorder mode.

More information:

1. It can be up to 800MHz if you want, and give you more than 0.5TOPS, 240FPS detection speed @ QVGA.

2. It is low power consume, unlike other ARM board; It only consume 0.35W when running face detection routine.

3. Its IO speed in simple test is up to 300MHz

4. It is possible to run openwrt on it as it have MMU, but too tight in ram.

5. We’re adding micropython to the board, and soon you can simply run python on it, you know python is the best lang for DL.

6. We also have Mic Array board, and another fancy board in development.

7. We have best price for those solution, Sipeed M1 module in $6, M1w(with wifi) in $7.5, the simple dev board with LCD, 2M pixel Camera, I2S MIC, Speaker PA, on board downloader, in $15.

8. We have model shop soon, you can sell your model on our online modelshop.
