In this mode the aircraft has superior protection from all modern anti-air weapon systems.

The Cello Suites and the Goldberg Variations for me.
The buttery males greased the flight deck!
Pretty neat. But why an FPGA? I would imagine if you want to run software targeting really old chips, like the Z80, you might as well run it on a modern x86/ARM/RISCV processor with an emulator on Linux.
To quote an old car show: Oh no! Anyway.
Lemmy .ml is partly why I switched to an instance which defederates them. The admin and mod behavior over there is gross. If it weren't run by the Lemmy devs it would be widely blocked.
"The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year."
A key part of Moore's law which is often omitted is that Moore was not just talking about transistor density but about cost. When people say we've reached the end of Moore's law this is not because we're no longer able to increase semiconductor transistor density (just look at TSMC's roadmap) but that the "complexity for minimum component costs" is no longer increasing. Chips are still getting faster but they're now also more expensive.
I recently switched to Linux and the latest KDE surprised me with how powerful it is. Scaling works. Fonts are rendered nicely. It's just easy to use. Most of the time I don't even think about the fact that I'm running Linux anymore.
It's amazing, and disappointing, that the simple exercise of "Let me predict what the consequences of my vote will be" seems beyond so many people.
Yeah, it's so unsurprising. It's why I believe the US Demoractic party of today is, at least to some degree, controlled opposition. I don't like this theory, but I cannot see a more rational explanation for their behavior. They've been letting the Republicans walk all over them for years. Why?
I’m just pointing out an issue with residential PV which, when I first heard about it, surprised me. I hope it does not surprise the people making these laws.
Imagine if, some years from now, seasonal solar oversupply might become in the UK and the people with these by law mandated panels face the choice to either manually switch off their systems or pay to send their solar energy into the grid. It sounds stupid but this seems to be happening in places with high PV density.
And btw you’re getting me wrong, I am a big fan of residential solar. I've got a small system. It’s just, at scale, apparently more complicated than covering every roof with panels…

I’m aware that’s true for complex multi chip systems like arcade boards. The Mister project for example. But a simple Z80? I expect it to emulate virtually perfectly. Maybe not? Hence why I’m curious.
