TIL: il existe une Agence Spatiale Islandaise.
Et elle fait un petit pied de nez à l'administration Trumpienne
Schon wieder wurden Unbeteiligte Opfer eines illegalen Autorennens, mit dem sich zwei Männer in Ludwigsburg einen Adrenalinpush gaben. Zwei junge Frauen hatten keine Überlebenschance.
Die Politik muss endlich entschiedene Maßnahmen ergreifen, damit den potentiellen Tätern die Werkzeuge für mörderische Autorennen entzogen werden!

I registered for the general portion of the show just in case I happen to be in San Jose, CA on the date of the conference. However, I really wish I lived close enough to attend the developer sessions 
Viele 
treffen sich gerade auf der A4: Görlitz -> Dresden, zwischen 1.0 km hinter Ludwigsdorf und 0.1 km vor An der Neiße und blockieren die #Autobahn.
Es könnte sein, dass sie heute die #EU-weit verpflichtende Installation eines intelligenten, übersteuerbaren Geschwindigkeitsassistenten in alle #Neufahrzeuge fordern. Das könnte langfristig die Zahl der #Verkehrstoten um 20% reduzieren. Viel weniger Autos hätten #Totalschaden.

Anyone know of a current source for Graphics Gremlin boards? Looking to either source one or possibly build one. Thanks!!!
RISC-V Architecture: An Open Revolution
RISC-V is a modern, open‑source instruction set architecture (ISA) that has transformed the way we think about processor design and innovation. Built on classic Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) principles, RISC‑V is characterized by its simplicity, modularity, and extensibility.

Planning #FAIR packaging of #plant #phenomics #ResearchData - our current focus is on #ROCrate with #JsonLD to describe domain concepts using #MIAPPE, likely #SSN for sensors, #ProvO (or just #ISA) for provenance, public #vocabularies for each partner's measurement types, etc. and lots of image and CSV files.
#MachineLearning is a key use for the #data.
Should we also be looking at #Croissant?
If so, does anyone have experience of combining Croissant and RO-Crate?
Any insights welcomed.
Yesterday I drove a car compliant with the new EU "Intelligent" Speed Adaptation directive. Good car, but, fuck me, the beeping!
It's like being a teenager again with your mum constantly telling you off. You immediately tune out all the car's beeps. Yeah. What-EVER!
EU really fucked this regulation up. It nags the same amount if you go 1km/h over the limit as 30 or even 100.
@randahl I have worked on this technology including a technical trial by the British government 20 years ago.
Speed warning is one thing and I'm all for that. As anybody knows who's driven a car with this "Intelligent" Speed Adaptation knows - the system often gets it wrong. It often gets confused by signs for other lanes on highways, in roadworks, etc. In these cases speed enforcement by a flawed system is Not Good & not helping.

RISC-V Vector Extension overview
http://0x80.pl/notesen/2024-11-09-riscv-vector-extension.html
"The goal of this text is to provide an overview of RISC-V Vector extension (RVV), and compare — when applicable — with widespread SIMD vector instruction sets: SSE, AVX, AVX-512, ARM Neon and SVE.
[…]
The vector extension is quite a huge addition. It adds 302 instructions plus four highly configurable load & store operations."

Speaking of #ROMs for #ix86 / #amd64: Does anyone know a good way to implement something like #Linux in #ROM like the #Tandy #1000RL & #1000RLX did with #MSDOS & #DeskMate:

I mean, it would be a way cleaner setup to boot OS/1337 to than booting a #CDROM?
Ideally something that can take #BIOS-style ROM Chips that one can put on a board without write-enable connected so they're read-only!
Still having like a #minimalist #Linux distro in Boot-ROM would be nifty, espechally when it comes to making a #SecureComputing "#SSH #Terminal"...
(I don't expect something like a PCI(e Mini)Card but I'd not be against it!)
#Intel and #AMD to work together on a common #ISA for #x86 in face of ARM competition
Hell Freezes Over as AMD and Intel Come Together for x86

Intel and AMD are unlikely allies in new x86 ecosystem advisory group – "we'll remain fierce competitors"
https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/intel-and-amd-forge-x86-ecosystem-advisory-group-that-aims-to-ensure-a-unified-isa-moving-forward
Why does the #x86 #ISA keep getting new fixed-length #vector extensions rather than variable-length ones like #RiscV did?
Every new length gets another copy of the same instructions. Not only does this waste instruction encoding space, it also means older CPUs can't support the new array lengths even if the data inside is of a supported size.
What's the reason?

#DeepSeaMining opponents suffer major setback
by Amélie BOTTOLLIER-DEPOIS
August 3, 2024
"Opponents of deep sea mining suffered a serious setback Friday when they failed to take a first step toward an international moratorium on the controversial practice.
"Until now, those in favor of such mining—which would deliver minerals key to the green transition but with a potentially high environmental cost—have managed to prevent the #InternationalSeabedAuthority (#ISA) from even taking up any debate on the subject.
"This time, the debate took place, but a draft calling for a 'dialogue' toward 'the development of a general policy... for the protection and preservation of the marine environment' did not advance after a week of talks in Kingston, Jamaica.
"Numerous delegations, from #China to #SaudiArabia to the #Africa group of member states, said the draft lacked clarity and that the ISA's full assembly of 168 members was not the forum to make any decision on the protection of #marine habitats.
"Instead, those countries said the Council, made up of 36 states, should decide.
"Faced with consistent opposition, #Chile withdrew the draft measure as the assembly's annual session—which makes decisions by consensus—drew to a close.
"'We are somewhat disappointed,' said Chilean representative Salvador Vega Telias. Though he believed he had support from a majority of states, he opted to shelve the discussions until July 2025—a proposal that was not approved either.
"Deep sea mining in international waters involves scraping the ocean floor for #minerals like #nickel, #cobalt and #copper, crucial for #RenewableEnergy energy technology.
"Under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (#UNCLOS), the ISA is responsible for both protecting the seabed in areas beyond national jurisdictions and for overseeing any exploration or exploitation of resources in those zones.
"Deep sea mining has not yet taken place beyond the experimental and exploratory stage.
"The ISA's Council, which for now only grants exploration contracts, has been drawing up commercial exploitation rules for more than a decade. They are aiming to adopt a mining code in 2025.
"Non-governmental organizations and scientists warn that deep sea mining could damage #habitats and harm species that are little understood, but are potentially important to the #FoodChain.
"In addition, they point to the risk of disrupting the ocean's capacity to absorb carbon emitted by human activities, and the noise that could disturb species such as #whales."
