Them: How many screws did you use?
Me:
J’ai demandé à mon banquier s’il avait des conseils pour économiser. Il m’a dit : “Soyez pauvre, vous allez voir, vous dépensez jamais rien.
like this
Starting to look more seriously into the STM32H750/753.
The 753 is the part I really want to use, the 750 is the same die fused down to disable all but the first 128 kB of flash. But I picked up several of them during the chip shorage and I feel like I should put them to use.
They're mostly comparable to the H735 I use now. Key differences:
* CPU Fmax down from 550 to 480 MHz
* RAM nearly doubled from 564 to 1024 kB
* Flash increased from 1 MB to 2 MB in the 753, but reduced to 128 kB in the 750
* 40 more GPIOs (128 -> 168)
* Package enlarged from 201 ball 0.65mm (10x10 mm) to 265 ball 0.8mm (14x14 mm).
That last bit is what has me the most interested. The 0.65mm H735 package is usable on OSHPark 4L, barely, but you lose a lot of IO and the parallel memory controller etc. aren't practical to use.
While the H75x is available in the same footprint, you can also get it in the 0.8mm package which should be much more friendly to the large via sizes offered on OSHPark. So it could be a winner for prototypes where I care more about ease of access to IO and MCU-FPGA interfacing than about absolute max CPU performance.
I've been using the H757 dual core in the .8mm 256 BGA. I'm pretty happy with it.
It takes a bit to get used to debugging, you flash it using the M7 which does memory for both cores, but if you want to debug the M4 you have to connect without downloading anything.
The biggest pain so far is M4 can't read some sysmem stuff - like ADC calibration values. I use a shared memory struct to pass data between cores.
I use the M4 to handle ADC, UART, etc, and M7 to draw the MIPI display.

Par contre violer des Palestiniens emprisonnés: pas de problèmes, et le peuple te défend.
#Israël. Un tribunal israélien prolonge la détention de sept soldats pour abus sexuels sur d'autres militaires.
Selon certaines informations, les chefs d'accusation incluent la sodomie, qui aurait visé des soldats subalternes pendant plus de six mois.
La police militaire enquête sur des signalements d'abus physiques, psychologiques et sexuels au sein de l'unité de défense antimissile Arrow ; le chef de l'armée de l'air supervise personnellement l'enquête.
Sept soldats d'active servant au sein de l'unité de défense antimissile Arrow de l'armée de l'air israélienne ont été arrêtés mardi par les enquêteurs de la police militaire, soupçonnés d'abus physiques, psychologiques et sexuels sur des membres de leur unité, a appris Ynet mercredi.
Les actes présumés, qualifiés de « bizutage », se sont déroulés sur plusieurs semaines et ont visé un groupe d'une dizaine de nouvelles recrues, incluant des actes de sodomie.
Sept soldats conscrits servant dans l'unité #136 (système de défense #Arrow) du réseau de défense aérienne ont été arrêtés par les enquêteurs de la police militaire, soupçonnés d'abus physiques, psychologiques et sexuels sur leurs camarades.
Selon les soupçons, les actes auraient été commis lors de rituels de bizutage s'étendant sur plusieurs semaines et auraient inclus des actes de sodomie.
Compte tenu de la gravité de l'affaire, le commandant de l'armée de l'air, le général de division Tomer Bar, est personnellement impliqué dans la gestion des incidents. Les soldats comparaîtront devant un tribunal militaire suite à la demande du parquet militaire de prolonger leur détention.

D'où parle Francesca #Albanese ? De l'Université de Pise, dont elle est diplômée, de la School of Oriental and African Studies de Londres, dont elle est diplômée, de l'Université de Georgetown, où elle est chercheuse, de l'Université Érasme de Rotterdam, où elle est chercheuse, du Haut-Commissariat des Nations Unies aux Droits de l'Homme, pour lequel elle a travaillé pendant une décennie comme experte. Et tout ça, avant bien sûr d'être nommée en 2022 rapporteure spéciale des Nations unies sur les territoires palestiniens.
Mais évidemment tout ça ne compte pas, parce que #Fourest et #Franc-Tireur ont juste copié-collé les éléments de langage conçus par #UNWatch, une soi-disant "ONG" qui s'est auto-confiée comme mission de "surveiller les actions de l' #ONU à l'aune de sa propre charte", en réalité un lobby pro- #Israël qui s'est fait une spécialité de répandre toutes sortes de rumeurs et mensonges sur les rapporteurs spéciaux successifs des Nations unis sur les territoires palestiniens (ainsi, avant Albanese, ils ont fait exactement les mêmes attaques contre Richard #Falk, Makarim #Wibisono et Michael #Lynk), ainsi que de systématiquement remettre en cause la légitimité du Conseil des Droits de l'Homme des Nations unies.

It cracks me up, all these self-righteous millennials and Gen Z kids trying to lecture me about eco-morals… me! I walk everywhere, don’t even have a computer at home, and only use a shared community internet connection once a week. And them? With their giga-consumption that could melt an iceberg in 3 clicks, their phones they replace every time a new one drops (“Oh my God, the camera has 2 more pixels!”), their so-called cyclist or e-scooter virtue… as if batteries just magically appeared without ripping half the planet apart. Their “virtue”? I’ve had it up to here. They think they’re saving the world with their speeches, but by constantly preaching and acting like eco-Ayatollahs, they’re doing the exact opposite: pissing people off so much they vote for the worst out of sheer spite.

I'm witnessing professionals spending hours to engineer prompts for Copilot to do basic things like find a line in a file that has a string in it, or figure out who committed most frequently to a sub-path in a repository, or generate boiler plate code for classes.. None of these things require #AI. `grep`, `git log..`, and editor snippets have existed for a long time. They are quick. They are EXACT. They are FREE. They do not boil the oceans. They do not displace the workforce. They are more efficient and productive.
Learn the tools of your trade. If all you're doing is using AI, that means AI can and will replace you.
I have for some time now held the belief that AI may finally rid us of BS jobs - it's just that the BS is not going away, but only the BS'ers.
YMMV, of course 😂 🤷♂️
this is the EXACT reason I don't use AI, personally I'm not even opposed to the technology, the simple fact is that it's fucking bad at what it does
I unironically save time by simply writing the scripts and code to do this myself, even putting the ideological problems aside, why would anyone worth their salt in the tech industry use a system that slows them down? the answer is they won't

The $4 billion effort over the next five years will flow through a new organization within the company called Microsoft Elevate, which the company describes as a successor and expansion of the longtime Microsoft Philanthropies team. Elevate will have about 300 employees, with the goal of helping more than 20 million people earn AI credentials.
