Considering how energy efficient the human brain is I hope they keep going after video cards

Putting a collar on a wild animal to protect it from being shot is a pretty pathetic attempt at protecting something you care about.

I’d put a high vis jacket on my kids, but I wouldn’t then send them off to play in traffic.

I think the most made-in-America gaming hardware is probably the mac pro

Sorry, by precise I mean “specific timing requirements with respect to each other” not “parts per million”

I think ever my clock has a few dozen nanoseconds of slop, but the whole clock pattern is difficult to create without a bunch of discrete logic.

Yeah definitely outdated and flat racist at parts (especially when you learn how little of it actually happened), but it's an incredible looking film especially when you realize the time it was made.

There are other powders for that

Check out hackaday maybe? It’s primarily hobbyist stuff, but they’ve been peppering in some original pieces about tech innovations and trends.

At the very least, nobody is trying to sell you anything.

Over the past few weeks, I realized that I wasn’t reading the news to “stay informed,” I was reading it because I was bored. As a form of entertainment, it’s pretty awful. 99% of what I read will have no direct impact on me or my family, and just sitting there and worrying about it without doing anything to fix it serves nobody.

Also, I’ve learned to be skeptical of basically every headline good or bad. I saw a headline this week about how upset Trump supporters were with his cabinet picks. Comments in the thread were talking about leopards eating faces. The article was a collection of 8 tweets from supporters showing disapproval.

This news site was just preying on people’s hopes and making a story out of absolutely nothing.

So I started focusing on some personal hobbies and have tried to re-teach myself how to focus by reading some long form fiction.

It’s far too fast to do it in software. Thus the FPGA.

But yes, it needs a very specific set of six clock signals. Not something easy to achieve with discrete logic if that’s what you’re suggesting. data sheet

Yeah the reference design uses a display driver from Epson that’s eol.

Haven’t looked at integrated display controllers. That’s certainly interesting. It’s a pretty unconventional display. Sharp memory LCD with 64 colors data sheet. I’ll have to see how configurable the integrated controllers are.

Looked at the max10. Still too pricey. Hoping for something in the <$1 range.
