@lauriewired LaurieWiredLaurieWired is likely related to "egg computing," a growing field of research that utilizes eggs and their components, such as egg whites and shells, to develop new technologies like organic field-effect transistors and supercapacitors. Researchers have been experimenting with egg-based materials for various applications, marking significant advancements in this unusual field. This area of study has gained attention on social media platforms, with some enthusiasts sharing updates and papers on the topic.

AFAIK not a single Rust software component has met DO-178C certification yet. Remember you have to be able to map the entire control flow graph from ASM - back up to the original source code. Rusts default compiler is really really bad for this; it generates a ton of hidden control flow. Your tests have to cover every possible logic path.

"The reason we know Radiation causes bit-flips in DRAM is pretty hilarious. In the late 70s Intel Ram was occasionally producing soft uncorrectable errors. Turns out the ceramic packaging on the chip itself had a little bit of Uranium. You know as one does"

"Shader systems are ridiculously powerful if youre clever enough. Most people use them to create visual effects. You know whats cooler Running Linux. Inside an emulated RISC-V CPU. Inside a pixel shader. Inside of VRChat"

"My favorite kind of tech story is when unexpected capabilities arise from something a human would never try. In the late 90s Dr. Thompson was experimenting with genetic algorithms on FPGAs. The goal was simple; distinguish between two audio tones 1kHz and 10kHz. He wanted novel solutions so he severely restricted scope. The chip was crippled to a maximum of ten cells wide and [--] cells tall with no system clock. - An typical EE student might use a few hundred gates - An expert might get it down to [---] - Thompsons genetic algorithm found a solution with 32 Gates"
