If you going to learn to how to program embedded systems, don't half ass it. Bite the bullet and learn something real.

If your lab is this clean/organized, I can't believe you're doing real work

Turns out Twin Peaks is *not* a David Lynch themed restaurant...


Finally found some time to sit down and start writing some GPS software defined receiver code. Got a data recording from a bladeRF and after some phase noise and IF frequency issues, was able to get some nice looking ambiguity functions...

British mustard is on another level. Almost like wasabi.

I would guess that Musk also has to determine this indirect rate for his federal contracts, but he might actually have an incentive to keep it low. The less you spend on overhead, the more you can spend on actually accomplishing the work (paying for labor, buying materials, etc)

Can you believe that universities with tens of billions in endowments were siphoning off 60% of research award money for “overhead”? What a ripoff!



Yes, most universities (and contractors) have a pre-negotiated indirect rate which is supposed to cover the cost of 'staying in business' (insurance, utilities, facilities costs, etc) and they all negotiate the highest rate possible. ~50% of any grant is never seen by Prof or…

Was just at a happy hour for a engineering professional group for almost two hours and no one said a single word about politics


It's almost as bad as China hacking OPM

An unelected billionaire now has unprecedented access to U.S. citizens' Social Security, tax returns, and even veteran benefits. This is an alarming breach of trust and privacy.



In many (all?) circumstances, "takes young people seriously" means "gamble on these young people sleeping on the floor, writing software, and stumbling onto something valuable."

San Francisco is so special because no other city in the world takes young people seriously



Years ago I made a joke about PaaS - Prison as a Service. And now here we are. And yet, I still don't have a job at a16z...


Not sure we have an obsession. Most liberal arts degrees - the one that makes you 'well rounded ' - are light on science/math. Most grade school curriculum is incredibly heavy on reading,writing, history. I think the bigger mistake is confusing STEM with software (only)

our cultural obsession with STEM education was a mistake
