I am not so much into videos but due to some extended interest in the matter I decided to watch the recording of that talk and I do not regret it. Much recommended to everyone who is interested in the state of the art of precision time synchronization over network. Also, in my opinion this talk is presented masterfully with most of the time actually spent on a convincing live demo.
Well macOS ships with something called AppleUSBRealtek8153Patcher (aka com.apple.driver.usb.realtek8153patcher). I'm not sure if this uses proprietary Realtek protocols, but it's pretty well known that this patcher does not work reliably on macOS. These days I only use Realtek 8156 on macOS (which uses NCM). And I just tested the 8156 on iOS; in fact this comment is transmitted by iOS to HN via a 8156 dongle.
I’ve also followed PP from the initial grant in Paris but a lot of these problems seem to be self-inflicted. Ones that most stood out were having no insurance, unrealistic open source expectations and giving $100k away rather than furthering the cause.
I’m sure theres minutiae and context i’m missing but that post doesn’t scream competence.
I’m worried any donation would be fluttered away.
The line about being at peace with the project dying seems bizarre. Perhaps time for a little organisational shakeup
> The line about being at peace with the project dying seems bizarre
Perhaps it's just me but this was the line that made the most sense to me. If a non-profit thinks they've achieved their mission, or at least that they don't have a good plan for next steps, then the most sensible thing to do is to close shop rather than to spend money unnecessarily.
Hindsight is always 10/10. They might have tried something new, and most of founders learn by making experiences and mistakes. I don't see an issue here
i looked into this a little bit - you’ll notice on realoem the catalogue is only 2019. I think this is also around the time BMW made the TIS system update and also knocked off newtis. ETK is the name of the parts catalogue pricing data iirc. I have the db, uses transbase.
Good observation. I'd not really looked at it since we sold my wife's mini, which has been several years. The catalog was invaluable for all the work I had to do to keep it running.
the turbos also used the MAF, its on the intake side so theres no pressure. They're not very reliable. It wasnt until I think saab came out with the trionic system that a single computer controlled boost, fuel, and timing all together. Prior to that you had a few independent brains. ECU setting fuel, timing sometimes with an EZK brain, etc.
Yup. T5 used a combination of MAP and temp sensors to do its fuel mappings. The system was able account for fuel quality by adjusting the spark timing and boost amount via controlling a solenoid valve down to whatever the actually physical waste gate spring was set to.
The later T7 system involved a MAF sensor behind the intake, while still retaining the temp sensors and MAP but changed the fuel mapping in the system to be a speed - density system for greater control and better boost handling with large temp and altitude changes. (T5 shot for a pressure value t7 shot for a target air mass).
There is software called t5suite / t7suite that allowed you to remap everything in the ECU, basically letting you modify the system in every possible way but not making you do all the setup that a complete stand alone unit would make you setup. It was and is, amazing. You could flash an ECU via BDM interface out of car, and in later T7 models actually make real time changes on a laptop that would immediately take effect. Later you could write them to the ECU flash (it requires more than 12v to flash, although some people rigged things up so they could also flash the memory in car).
Good times. I still have a t7 Saab on my lawn. My custom tune isn't the best, but it went damn good.
Interesting to note, the MAF in the t7 could be placed on the pressure side of the world and it would work perfectly fine minus the fact that they would die a lot quicker due to oils and such on the pressure side of the turbo. People sometimes did this as it was the only way to run a true blow off valve for cool effect. If the MAF is in the stick location and you do not recirculate that air, the car would be fueling for XYZ air density but you'd have dumped some out of the closed system and it ran rich as hell and like crap .
Equally true when they're good and bad, unfortunately.
In the 18 years since I graduated (I feel old), I have seen some people easily carry entire projects while demotivating everyone around them… and also colossal idiots who were just as confident and unwilling to listen.
I really hope I never end up unable to listen to critics.
We've found good result hiring candidates who've experienced some form of ego-death. It's a difficult signal to separate from the noise of the talent pipeline, but until people start filling their resumes with meditation buzzwords, it will suffice.
How do you select for this? I am significantly less cocky than in my youth, simply because I have accumulated a long list of personal failures (ie teaching moments). Failings which I would not want to discuss with a potential employer.
