When I see what people other countries are doing to get away leaving California should be trivial. People are walking out of Syria with nothing more than what they own. If life in SV is that bad, leave.
If you know how to weld, swing a hammer or have any skilled trade training you can probably filter all across the US. Local shops are hiring high schoolers with training before they graduate.
That's exactly how they get faster chips with the 'same' clock speed.
Some embedded chips can only do int16 adds/multiplies in hardware and rely on software tricks to do floating point math, they're slow compared to a chip than can do the floating points adds/multiplies in hardware.
Maybe it's just me but the people that 'pick' what songs they want to hear spend more time picking songs than listening.
I want a radio station to do that job for me. I don't want to be a DJ while I program. It also allows me to listen to other music that I may not have heard without listening to my own echo chamber of music.
It's free, most stations don't have ads and it works on all devices. My 'stereo' in college was a cheap 386 laptop I found for $10. This is when the iPhone and Android were relatively new and expensive; it worked just fine until I re-donated it.
My favorite phone is still my Kyocera DuraPlus that I use on Ting. Battery lasts ~2 weeks. It does have Bluetooth and a bare bones browser for when I *need* to see something on the web. It would be nice to plug it into my laptop and use USB or bluetooth as a LTE modem, when I have the opportunity.
I would absolutely pay for an OpenBSD phone in the same form factor that worked and was as secure as the Kyocera. You could also use the same software/hardware to make a secure IoT device. There are a lot of devices out there running cell modems attached to questionably secure Linux distros.
Not quite sure why streaming now a fancy a 'new' technology. Shoutcast is still going strong with 67,814 stations (as of right now). Created in 1998. It has almost every type of station you could want to listen to. Works on any device that can play a stream and you can even rip it to disk if you want.
If this was a CNC machine I bought at auction and tossed in my garage, no problem.
But you don't just wander down to the production line and go "Oh, lets replace this with some upgrade that may or may not work". These machines were bought, paid for and have been working for decades. All of the training material is how to use them. All of the production line workers know how they work and more importantly how to fix them when they're broke. It also goes beyond "CNC" milling machines. We actually ran die stamping machines (that were Computer Numeric Controlled).
Plus, why upgrade? What do these devices that sit off line have to gain from upgrading? There was a comment on the Windows 10 fiasco where one of their production machines was taken off line for a forced upgrade.
More than likely you're going to have to gut and retrofit that CNC machine anyways
There are still a lot of CNC machines from the 80s out there running every day. I worked at a shop in 2000 that had machines from the 80s. Short of them completely failing I can't see any reason they'd replace them with anything newer.
The XPCs made by Mathworks/SpeedGoat also have a bare bones DOS and a parallel port you can use to bit bang IO before launching the Simulink-RTOS
women I know in the field that put their head down to the grindstone
It's not even that they keep their heads to the grindstone, it's that they just live life without going out of their way to be victims.
My wife and I both work in STEM. I can count on two hands the number of people we know in our 30s that have Twitter and on one hand the ones that post more than once a day. Most are on facebook but keep it to stuff like sharing recipes and photos of their kids.
Watching how often these people tweet it's any wonder they get anything done.
I find it incredibly difficult to believe that we don't have the hardware resources necessary to perform local speech-to-text and text processing inside your house without ever touching the internet.
Jasper will let you use multiple backends including the 2 above plus Google and AT&T.
Some remote server listening in on everything I say, filtering every word, analyzing each sentence, etc.
Why not just assume the NSA is always listening unless you take steps to avoid it? NSA is more than welcome to listen to my son's requests for Kids Bop and how many timers I set in the Kitchen. It's also not that difficult to get out of range of Alexa or go offline.
Planning a terrorist attack? Go to a college bar. Good luck getting any SST to work in there. Or outside, or a car or any number of a million places where you can avoid being listened to. Do you think the founding fathers cut themselves off from everyone to make their plans? They smiled went along their normal daily routine unless they knew they could talk freely. This is no different.
Between free image hosting, VPNs, steganography and multiple of end to end encryption services it shouldn't be difficult to plan any thing you want without authorities being notified.
And if you really want to hide in the noise, hire your own 'Navajo' talkers in the form of 15 year old gamers. You should be able to pass anything you want through comments about someones mother.
Like the fact that anything heavier than air cannot fly? Or the fact that the earth is the center of the universe? Or a lot of other "common sense 'facts'" over the years?
If we left progress up to your types we'd still be living in caves because "that's how it is".
I question how many people on Slashdot ever use the Scientific Method for anything. Do they think the tools they use every day like C and computers just sprang up without any one saying "Eh, lets see if this works". Did we just go from "Hey microwaves can heat water molecules" to them being on sale at Walmart?
I doubt that this is just a solar test. Polymers research could lead to self healing/printed roads, durability, etc.

Whoever is crunching the numbers is doing so
How To Lie with Statistics should be required reading in high school.

The 1st Uber robot-truck that takes out several lanes of cars will see them sued, legislated and reined in right fucking quick
Because that's what happened to Walmart after the Tracy Morgan crash?
In 2008:
The robots just need to beat those numbers and it'll be the humans that find themselves "sued, legislated and reined in right fucking quick".
I just want a faster chip
New instructions seem dumb to me
That's exactly how they get faster chips with the 'same' clock speed.
Some embedded chips can only do int16 adds/multiplies in hardware and rely on software tricks to do floating point math, they're slow compared to a chip than can do the floating points adds/multiplies in hardware.
Compare LINPACK benchmarks using AVX2, AVX and SSE.
If you're looking for a small bump in the mean time you can get a i7-3940XM. It shares the rPGA988B socket with the 3630QM. They're ~$300 on eBay.
In Benchmarks it's ~20% faster than what you have currently.
It's still faster than the 6820HQ (8765/1891) or E3-1505M (8699/1887) CPUs that Dell ship in their newest 7000 Precision lines.

There are multiple self hosted solutions. Any old Mac has this for at least a decade. (Our old Snow Leopard Mini has it).

Time for an OpenBSD Phone?

Tesla's factory will 125 acres
It may just be wild speculation, but I think Tesla may be covering it's roof with something other than plants.

Jasper is for Raspberry Pis.
Jasper is for Linux. They just happen to use it on Pis. It should work on any variant of Linux. They even include instructions for Arch.
It's written in Python so it could work on *BSD, OS X and Windows as well depending on how they hook into the Audio subsystem.
If you want to go Big there's Lucida which is designed for corporations and self hosting. (Research project at University of Michigan)
You are liberal at a young age until you look at the withholding and deductions from your pay stub.
Wife and I 'give' away more than most people make.
Are still liberal.

Yes.

I cannot count the number of times I have accidentally
And I can't count the number of times I've flipped back to C from Matlab/Python and it doesn't do anything because I forgot a semi-colon.
Python's strength is in its brevity.
I find it incredibly difficult to believe that we don't have the hardware resources necessary to perform local speech-to-text and text processing inside your house without ever touching the internet.
We do, feel free to use Pocket Sphinx or Julius.

It also applies to people that think what they learned 30 years ago makes them completely competitive in a modern workforce.
You'll often find them complaining about H1Bs and ageism.
tried something based in a logical hypothesis.
And why are you assuming they aren't?
There is no reason at all to think this would ever in a million years work,
There was never a reason in a million years to think that an object heavier than air could fly. But 2 brothers did do the math.
I'll go with the scientists doing the experiments over some AC on Slashdot.
Roads are a consumable item
Why?
they don't last decades
Why?
this is a question of common fucking sense
Like the fact that anything heavier than air cannot fly? Or the fact that the earth is the center of the universe? Or a lot of other "common sense 'facts'" over the years?

Apple's bread and butter is fit/finish and consistent user experience.
It was when Jobs was in charge. Ives and Cook don't have anyone to keep them in line.
I feel like if Zombie Jobs was forced to use a Dongle to connect his brand new phone to his brand new computer he'd go in search of new brains.
I've bought stuff with BitCoin. On one of those 'markets'. Multiple times.
