Do you have anything like this: https://docs.micropython.org/en/v1.9.3/pyboard/reference/spe...

Viper Bytecode emitter.

"Serious embedded devs" are probably using a compiled language.

Well it is compiled into Bytecode.

> I have to wonder what the difference is between a Tacoma sport and an AWD vehicle, I think it’s 2WD mode and maybe clearance

As a long-time AWD driver who entertains the idea of getting an offroad vehicle at one point, this is my current understanding:

AWD: If one wheel slips and starts spinning, all other wheels stop turning. You are stuck. Clever electronics applying the brakes on the spinning wheel can help to redistribute the torque to other wheels, you might get unstuck.

4WD: If one wheel starts spinning, only the other wheel on the same axle stops turning. The transfer case is locked, and the other axle still receives torque. If both axles have one spinning wheel, you are stuck.

4WD with one locker: If one wheel on the axle with a locker starts spinning, the other wheel on the same axle still receives torque. If both axles each have one spinning wheel, you can still move the vehicle with one wheel still receiving torque.

4WD with locker on both axles: If you manage to get stuck with all 4 wheels spinning you should reflect on how the heck you ended up in that situation.

The problem with reducing AWD to all open Diffs. Subuaru, Mitishbishi, Honda (Acura), Toyato have all sold AWD system with various levels of limited slip and/or locking diffs which are much more complicated than just applying brakes.

Worked fine for MS with Excel supporting Lotus 123 and Word supporting WordPerfect's formats when those were dominant...

Dork1234 · 2 years ago
Microsoft could do that because they had the Operating System monopoly to leverage and take out both Lotus 123 and WordPerfect. Without the monopoly of the operating system they wouldn't of been able to Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

Is it just not validated but still supported by turning it on the Motherboard?

My god how I would happily pay 5X per copy for a Windows that had all the shitty new garbage culled out (like ALL the Telemetry and forced updates).

It is $200-300 per license times 5x. It it worth $1000-$1500 for it?

Are you actually hiring? You've posted for these positions every single month for the past couple years, see:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27373603https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34612652https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=mmyller20https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=mmyller20&next=34983...

Your senior engineering position was posted six months ago:

https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3649931245

Yet your headcount growth is down 3% according to linkedin:

https://www.linkedin.com/company/koddi/

Only asking because I'm very interested but I'd hate to waste anyone's time.

I as well am waiting for the next Y Combinator startup for using A.I. to automate whether or not you should apply for a job. Should we start on a Series-A pitch deck?

This is actually quite depressing considering the amount of Raspberry pi's doing tasks like watering a plant, Reminds me of Marvin the paranoid android.
Dork1234 · 2 years ago
You can always replace them with RP2040 which have integer performance similar to the Cray-1 if that makes you feel better.
