FPGAs have gotten pretty fast. I’d pay for a raspberry pi-style thing where the processor is just something I can flash on. I’d be really cool if there were two FPGAs wired together so you could dynamically “change the hardware” on the fly. Software updates could change the processor. Cool idea.

I wish more people were experimenting with non-bleeding edge processes. I want to see control circuits running on millimeter scale transistors.

Has anyone seen my gray backpack? I think I left it in central park. Left a bunch of monopoly money in it. lmk if anyone finds it.

Why is public transportation in California so slow and expensive? Not a complaint, genuinely don’t understand the root of the problem.

Here's some secret bluesky-only info: This is being filed with the USPTO TTAB tomorrow Don't share!

Is there a field of research on algorithms/functions as information transformers, as in changes in Shannon entropy? After all, all a computer does is change one form of data into another so it should be possible albeit impractical to define all computation in Shannon entropy terms. Maybe? #compsci
