Or designing software for a theoretical system like an ideal reconfigurable computer with reconfiguring latency that is as fast as processing latency and then have hardware engineers design towards that as opposed to having software engineers target hardware like we do know. Feels like that would make for an interesting experiment.

I've always wondered if its possible to write software that will run on computers with arbitrary number of memory heirarchy eg. x amount of l1/l2 cache -> main memory (RAM) -> SSD -> HDD -> Archive storage where you can plug in a new type of memory as it becomes available (eg. 3dxpoint) and it will adapt to run optimally on that hardware without rewrites.

would love to have a filter for paywalled articles on google news

FPGA Noob here. I have 2 questions about FPGA's that I'm hoping someone here can help me out with:

1. For the FPGAs i've looked at, you seem to have to initially configure them before being able to run your programs on them, kind of like EEPROM. I feel it would be much more interesting from a reconfigurable computing perspective if the devices were able to programatically re-configure on the fly as easily as it is to read and write to DRAM or Flash Memory. So what are the barriers that prevent the hardware from being able to do this?

2. Its exciting to see projects like Symbiflow making great progress, but after reading some expert opinions[1] it seems like an extremely difficult challenge to attempt to reverse engineer hardware from commercial FPGA vendors who wish to keep their designs closed in order to protect their IP and compete. So my question is wouldn't it be a more feasible goal to construct fully open FPGA platform from scratch, just like RISC-V is doing with CPUs? What would the obstacles be here?

Thanks!

Error: Failed to listen on network interface: No such file or directory (os error 2)

on macOS. Anyone else getting this error?

second this. Should have tabs for Google/Bing results on the page.

Nope. Thats the one. I guess less of a breakthrough and more of a promising step towards a treatment!

There was also a Chlamydia breakthrough. Good week indeed!

I'm hoping that applying recent advances in Machine Learning and Robotics we could build better, automated sorting facilities. Or is that being too naive?

Is it possible for Google to factor in page load speeds into their search algorithm? Hopefully in a way that actually encourages publishers to optimise for performance and not focus on fooling googles webcrawlers

This is absolutely incredible.

That was insightful. Thank you.

would love to read more about this if you have recommended resources

Can you break off smaller pieces and parachute them down?

Ideally the increased demand from to crypto-mania would be channeled to fund R&D for Graphics & AI chips but AFAIK its mostly the middlemen (distributors and retailers) who pocket these premiums.
