Come on, it’s 2025, there’s no need to write trivial buffer overflows anymore.
It's 1990, maybe 1999, in embedded land.

"I really don't understand why people would think X"
is another example but I think there may be some expression of non-understanding. "So retarted it doesnt make sense."
Similar, "are you a n*zi" never seen here but as a simple but clever "Could you elaborate?" often as a reply to a polite but ambiguous comment. It's basically bait for the ambiguous commenter to confirm or deny the morality of their comment.
"genuinely curious" is the new one I see everywhere lately.
It was a silly acquisition in the first place, and their justification clearly came from a coke-addled fever dream.
Intel soon discovered the obvious, which is that customers with applications well-suited to FPGAs already use FPGAs.
It was a forced acquisition, iirc they made promises to Altera to get them to use their foundry, failed to keep those promises and could either get sued and embarrassed or just buy Altera outright for about what they were worth before the deal.
Is there any open source DIY project to relatively cheaply measure the analog performance of USB 3.1 (10Gbit/s) signals?
No, there was a DIY diode prob with a headline number high enough, but I think he said real world performance would be about 8ghz, that's only part of the problem anyway. I had a look, I can't find the forum post or the podcast he was on (amphour). Either rent an appropriate USB analyzer or scope. If you just want to verify the speed of your consumer equipment look for a software solution to measure throughput (there is significant protocol overhead). At the required speed you can't even use BNCs.
> an alloy which is not easily detected
Seems implausible. Again, Ti is way out on the edge of properties, being intermediate between steel and aluminum in weight and stiffer than either. That alloy would be a pretty novel thing, and novel metallurgy is more expensive than the hot Titanium someone stole from a bomber graveyard in Siberia.
Asif they don't have a handheld XRF to check everything that comes off the truck, the concern is the quality.
I was given an option to improve my performance, but I chose a different path.
Look if this was dave from some no name company, there would be no real debate about what happened.
Altman isn't special, he's just rich and well connected.
Altman was booted from YC because he shouldn't have been making money from his side gigs. He broke the rules, and had some level of consequence.
Now that he's rich, and famous, he's not going to get much consequence, unless he vaporises a lot of money from the wrong people. But then he might be WeWork cult leader good and get away with it.
In risk capital businesses making money from side deals/gigs has long been acceptable, but there has always been a line and Sam danced right over even the most generous conception of it and was duly removed.

This is why open source must win. I mean, it won't, but it's the only path to avoiding a silicon aristocracy.
Yes, an Open AI

Wow, absolutely atrocious. There really is no justice for the victims of war, is there?
This guy must be a sociopath.
He has a Victoria Cross (Medal of Honor equivalent), you basically have to be mental and not care for your own life to get one, so we shouldn't turn around and be shocked when they don't value the lives of the enemy and their supporters.

Depends if you want to condone IP theft (compatible independent developments is of course different but I'm not sure this is the case). R&D, Support, good documentation in English and accuracy of specs come at a price.
If they didn't copy the peripheral blocks, then all they did was implement the ARM IP just like ST Micro did in a way to be pin to pin compatible with the STM32 chips. Happy to learn otherwise. I wouldn't put them in a real product for many reasons but this is not one of them.

How many times do we need to fight the same battle? Where I live Netflix has a fast lane and from 6:30pm to 10:30pm every night my internet is unusable.
