Interesting, it appears possible to get a #raspberrypi to #boot in just 2 seconds: https://www.furkantokac.com/rpi3-fast-bo.. When I finally get back to the #uk I intend to work on some #automotive #applications and this sort of thing will be absolutely required for #safe #operation ... (I.e. #quick #reboot #capability !)
#drone #uav #quadcopters being actively used in a #sar #operation to save #dogs from a #volcano https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/dro.. Best of luck to them!
Apparently a #bitcoin #mining #operation got #caught trying to #steal #gas and creating a #secret #powerplant https://gizmodo.com/a-bitcoin-mining-ope.. A local #pub tried to tap into the #gas #supply where I used to live too - on a *live* gas main pipe! It's only because it happened literally directly outside our house that we were able to stop it. If it wasn't for the risk of #explosion , it would have been better to let them do it and then #report them.
Huh, it never even occurred to me that a #modulo was an expensive #cpu #instruction https://lemire.me/blog/2016/06/27/a-fast.. I always thought of it as a cheap #operation - no wonder some of my programs were slower than I would like. Especially for #vision #processing and #neural #networks ... Hell, even #deadsocial likely uses more than its fair share! I actually want to do some tests on this!
