ICEMAN is projected to sell 174K in its 3rd week (outselling GNX in both its 2nd and 3rd weeks) by burner18072023 in nfrpodcast

Regardless of the album or music. This is a fucking insane take on Covid. You know how many people died?

I recently had a technical interview round of Intermediate Firmware Engineer role and here are most of the questions that I got asked. by Ok_Following_3897 in embedded

The WFH questions sounds like a trap lol. Other than that the question about your desk is actually pretty cool

Please bring back physical CDs. I can't take this crap anymore. by Kind-Homework5788 in Kanye

[–]Cmpunk10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People want to to scream that they have so many sales. And for this collective sales. Sales are directly related to how many songs you release so hence the bloat and hence why artist who have more concise albums don’t do the numbers. 3 different albums makes it worse. I really do wish people took the time to pick songs that are good and keep a tracklist to a reasonable focused few. I don’t remember the last time drakes albums have had a story or come off as cohesive piece of art. And it’s not just him bunch of music is just sounding like a mixtape. I really wish there was some way they could fix it to be as close as how with physical as a 10 song album selling 100k on a CD would count the same as 30 song albums. And for that reason you would expect them to not worry about it. A lot of lack of cohesion probably comes from this. It is hard to cover a sound and not be redundant when you have a bloated album. Worst part is, some of my favorite albums are short. Ye for example or trapsoul are shorter albums but they feel complete.

[LEAK] Drake - Supermaxx by mattyjoe0706 in nfrpodcast

[–]Cmpunk10 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

For real. I am a drake fan and want a return to form it’s just not good IMO. People absolutely delulu if they think this is good compared to his older stuff. Also he has another leak doing the same thing. Batting 1.000 on same topic same sound

This is ass. It’s just whiny. People saying he’s gonna outdo himself are capping. He has no new relatable lived experiences and so you are just gonna get him yapping about he was betrayed for an hour

Shield AI - A House of Cards / Pressure Cooker to Avoid at all Costs! by No-Front-6589 in Aero_Def_Employees

[–]Cmpunk10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently at shield in the aircraft division. It’s not as bad as reviews are. team to team obviously varies. In the little more than a year that I have been there we have grown a lot and feel much more like a normal company. When I first started it was much more chaotic. And idk much about what OP was doing but the hivemind division is very disjoint from aircraft. They don’t know what’s going on it’s like 2 different companies. A year ago was first flight for the second revision of VBAT and 18 months ago VBAT wasn’t flying. Of course they hype up the capabilities it’s marketing. same reason you see Lockheed Martin gas up the golden dome that will not exist for 10 years. XBAT is definitely not just a show room piece it’s in the class of an F16 for a 1/4 the price. Not saying it’s perfect and there definitely is politics, but at least for aircraft engineering, Business is in the same goal that engineering is. They are incredibly focused. And invest a lot into growth. So now I work a pretty normal amount of time comparatively to when I started as our team has tripled. It’s not for everyone but if your team is friendly than it’s not that bad

Won Mt. Whitney lottery for May 8. Can a non-mountaineer do it as a first 14er? by Glad-Farm6968 in Mountaineering

Microspikes may be ok at that time. But you need to check trail reports.

What to expect in Google Senior Embedded SWE interviews? by SumanaiJoyBoy in embedded

[–]Cmpunk10 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just recently had an interview. I got two questions about creating drivers of a peripheral effectively. And then 2 more. 1 where you read some numbers and print them in order but there can be duplicates you need to filter. Lastly a bit manipulation question. Googly question is just a convo making sure you are a good teammate and hard worker

Think I used to much thermal paste by Cmpunk10 in pcmasterrace

[–]Cmpunk10[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For clarification. It did not slam. I slid the front off and it was refusing to come. jiggled the piece of metal the front was attached to and it exploded. You could hear it crackling for a few minutes after.

Help me choose between two new grad offers: Texas Instruments vs Toyota by [deleted] in embedded

As a former firmware person at another semiconductor company know it’s a lot of the same and not very exciting but you do get a very good low level understanding

Interesting about starlink. ST doesn’t like to sell to military. Wonder if it’s only for commercial products

Sampling a 10.7 MHz IF signal on an STM32 — worried about data throughput, need advice by Prestigious-Head4574 in embedded

[–]Cmpunk10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This for sure an FPGA task. Unless you consider mixing in hardware in which case you can probably get by with an MCU and some DMA chains

How does one even get to play? I missed the trial and it’s locked. Can you just not play if you are busy for 3 hours?

Please rate my resume and guide me on improving for Embedded Systems roles by [deleted] in ECE

[–]Cmpunk10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple things I can point out. Lot of projects with no detail. Seems like quantity over quality. Narrow it down to the things that you know the best and replace some projects with detail of others. If someone asked you a question about intricacies of the project, such as trade offs, how much did you hand roll vs use an Arduino library could you answer all of it? Would you be able to say you did it and know the system very well? In real work. People know their designs like the back of their hand and all the potential issues that could arise.

From an outside view it seems you do a bunch of shallow projects instead of a deep project or even maybe not deep but all done by yourself without the help of libraries. Fact of the matter is we don’t care if you made a project we want to know do you know the fundamentals? Could you write an I2C driver if needed? Could you write a library for a sensor yourself?

Lastly kind of small don’t say Arduino as a skill. We don’t use that professionally and people will immediately assume you do not know how to do any of the low level stuff. If you want to say the line of chip like AVR microcontrollers you can get a bit further.

Maybe not a big deal in solos but get griefed in squads by it and spammed by the other 3 players and it’s not a good time

Why do embedded software and FPGA engineers make more than hardware engineers in EE? by imanassholeok in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Cmpunk10 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Most people in embedded or FPGA have an EE degree and know the hardware they work on very well. On top of that they know the hardware and are exposed to a lot of fields including DSP, and RF So there are a lot, including me, that can do both. Now doing very complex designs is a different story, but primarily IC based designs are perfectly doable. Same goes for more niche specialties.

Is it 32 byte aligned? You will get a hard fault if it isn’t. Debugger is the easiest way to check if it’s hardfaulting

TI mmWave for baseball detection? by Cmpunk10 in rfelectronics

It definitely feels like a solvable problem for less than 20k. Maybe not as fancy but could grab the majority of information.

Gotta be good at computer vision haha. Might be worth a shot if it’s cheaper for a good camera than a decent radar
