Ok, so, someone used an LLM do create changes. This new code is no longer under the project license it is, as you say, public domain.
Except it is, depending on code similarity. The court uses the same rules as with book plagiarism. If LLM uses exactly same code structure and only renames some variables or adds pieces of code that do nothing useful, high chances the court will declare it a derived work and enforce the license.
Radars are very much in use in Ukraine. There is a whole range of air targets besides FPV drones, there are ballistic missiles, fighter planes, bomber planes, helicopters, gliding bombs, and ships, all of which require a radar to detect.
Acoustic sensors have limited range. By the time it detects a missile, it’s already flew one kilometer away, and it’s too late to grab your AA gun. Gliding bombs are silent.
Radars have 50+ km range, and allow to shoot bombers and ships from beyond the border with expensive US-provided missiles.
Android uses mainline Linux kernel for several years already. Whatever drivers OEMs are using are provided as separate binaries.
Does D1 have only one leg attached? I don’t see any via hole that connects to the back side of the board.
It’s an installer for Termux packages. You can do the same thing manually in Termux shell, if you know the names of packages you are installing.
And yes, Termux uses Debian apt package manager.
Apollo 11 voice goes ‘4, 3, 2, 1, 0, liftoff’.
I can tell it’s some 32-bit millisecond counter without even opening the article. 49 days period is too specific.
And since I did not hear anything about MacOS network stack catastrophically breaking on any servers, the impact should be small.
1GB model is $45. And if you need a Linux microcontroller, Raspberry Pi Zero with 0.5 GB RAM is $15.
Honestly, 16 GB RAM in a Raspberry Pi is stupid. What are you using it for? If you want AI, you buy NVidia Jetson, Raspberry Pi won’t cut it with 4-core CPU. If you want a regular PC for office, you buy a regular PC with low-end Intel or AMD CPU for the same price. If you want a video server to plug into your TV, 1 GB RAM will be enough, and there are cheaper moddable media boxes out there. If you want a controller for your industrial equipment, you’ll be barely using half-gigabyte of RAM for your industrial spaghetti code, so you probably bought the most expensive model for your corporate writeoff money just because you could. No, it will not be more reliable and won’t work any faster. But you can run Quake 3 on your CNC lathe, which makes it totally worth the price (Quake 3 runs fine on 512 MB RAM, you could have bought Pi Zero ).
One additinal trick is to compress your files before writing them to disk, using some kind of fast lightweight compression like parallel gzip (pigz command) or lzop. When parsing them, you will have smaller disk reads but higher CPU usage, which will give speed advantage if you have server-class CPU with lots of cache.
The biggest online store in my country has 4GB flash drives permanently on sale for $3.
A Debian live image fits into 4GB flash drive. If you search stuff for sale you can probably find them cheap, and 4GB is practically the smallest size you can buy.
They still make an acceptable FTP server for backing up your huge tarballs.
Github is more involved, you need to create a release and then attach files to it. With sf.net you jist do a FTP upload.
But it’s on a dedicated server you have already paid for, which also hosts your own Minecraft game server with active players (mission-critical process which can never be allowed to stop).
DNS is pronounced ‘hosts’ because it was originally one big text file.
It’s these things. Notice how the thread is smaller than the shaft. You always need to drill a pilot hole, otherwise the thread won’t bite into the wood. The thread is also pretty tight, so screwing it two-three times in the same hole is enough to strip the wood in the hole, so it can be pulled out with tweezers with almost no resistance. It’s also slotted, so if you press too hard your screwdriver will slip out. And if you screw too tightly, the head will rip off, because it’s a mild steel.
Or you just hammer it in.
In Soviet Russia, all furniture was assembled by hammering wood screws. Then the assembled furniture was ripened for up to ten years in special humidity-controlled warehouses, allowing screws to expand and lock in place thanks to rusting. This required making screws from special-grade low-quality steel, and use extra-toxic glue for particle board planks so they would not rot. And still, only one in five assembled pieces of furniture did not have any rotten parts or fall into pieces when you attempted to take it home, making it even more luxurious. It is utterly impossible to repeat this level of craftsmanship in modern world.
“Pretend you see nothing” printed in QR code on the box.
Military tech companies will be perfectly fine. They typically have 10+ year contracts, and military equipment has a huge price margin in exchange for being reliable and field-serviceable, and the main disadvantage of DIY radar is reliability (unless you also recruit the guy who built it into the army).
It will probably impact civilian market more, where the same companies will try to sell you an unnecessarily hardened machined aluminium box full of cheap Chinese electronics, camo painted for an additional ten thousand bucks.
Their next commercial offering might just be cheaper.
