on: 16-bit RISC-V processor made with carbon nanotubes
No, there is a 16-bit version
https://content.riscv.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/riscv-s... See chapter 12, “C” Standard Extension for
Compressed Instructions
> This chapter describes the current draft proposal for the RISC-V standard compressed instruction
set extension, named “C”, which reduces static and dynamic code size by adding short 16-bit
instruction encodings for common operations.

on: Async-std: an async port of the Rust standard library
It looks great.
But it's odd that they do not cite Tokio. I know this isn't an academic paper, but come on have some professional curtesy and discuss the contributions made in prior art.

on: Investigating the Galileo Satellite Navigation System Outage with a LimeSDR
I've got a LimeSDR-mini (which is more economical). If you're only interested in RX, you should definitely consider the cheaper RTL-SDR. I'm just starting to learn about SDR, and am far from sending anything. I wish I had gone with an entry-level device first.

It's not so much the fork but the memory cost. Each of those subprocesses has at least one call stack = 2 megabytes of memory. 2 megabytes per connection is many many orders of magnitude more that you would use in an asynchronous server.

on: We Should Teach Music History Backwards
Not for science history. It's very hard to grasp what the hell the LHC is about. First tell me why how they figured out water wasn't an element but a combination of two.

I exclusively program on a small laptop and don't have great eyesight. Formatting code such that it only looks good on huge displays makes my life more difficult.

on: US cell carriers are selling access to real-time phone location data
Wow. The fact that they can just get this with "oral approval" (relayed by them to your carrier) is shocking to me. This is ridiculous.

on: Show HN: Quickfix, the best stupid idea for fixing problems in Node modules
Check in your node_modules. You are badly correcting the wrong problem. npm repo should not be hit for every checkout, deploy, and CI test. Just commit your dependencies - and if you need to hack them, you can float a patch with git.

on: Toyota Research Institute head says full autonomous driving is “not even close”
Consider the proportion of the cost of an Uber ride that goes to the driver compared with the proportion of the cost of an airplane ticket that goes to the pilot. A driverless car has the potential to be much cheaper, but a pilotless plane would not be much different. Many new train systems are automated. The cost of retrofitting older systems is just too great.

people are mostly interested in what is successful and backprop/gradient descent (with certain specific architectures) is what has been dropping error rates on all sorts of tasks in recent years.
