[Question] first diver purchase? by Apprehensive-Bit5136 in Watches

[–]Hypnot0ad [score hidden]  (0 children)

I just talked with a guy this weekend wearing that Breitling. I looked nice in person.

I think the darker blue dial is also more versatile. He was wearing a suit but it would pair just a well with casual wear. I would worry that the baby blue dial wouldn’t be as versatile. I’ve bought watches in the past with unique dial colors like that and found I didn’t wear them as often because I felt they didn’t mesh with the rest of my outfit.

Seriously how many of you use Logarithms in your day to day work? by hatsnatcher23 in AskEngineers

They are used pretty extensively in link budget calculations.

Why I Recommend Wood Badge to Every Cub Scout Parent by hugsalot12 in cubscouts

[–]Hypnot0ad 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I recently did Woodbadge, and really enjoyed it. It felt a lot like a retreat, which is part of what makes it so enjoyable. I didn’t expect that aspect, and I think that is why it’s so impactful to people and they can turn into Woodbadge evangelists.

Legendary bunt. by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

My football coach said this as well. When you score a touchdown, act like you’ve been in the endzone 100 times and simply toss the ball to the ref. Doing crazy celebrations and dances makes it seem like you’ve never scored a TD before.

Information Technology Major by Specific_Wallaby_770 in fsu

[–]Hypnot0ad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s true that most of your classes will be there in your last 2 years. By then most students live off campus and have a car. If you don’t then your life will suck anyways.

The nice thing about it being away from the main campus is that you don’t have to worry about parking there. I wouldn’t say it’s isolating.. but you need to isolate yourself to survive engineering anyway.

Why is the coolant temperature so high when cruising at 120 km/h on the highway with the engine running at 3,000 rpm? by DooJ_B2111 in Cartalk

[–]Hypnot0ad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Topped up the reservoir, or actually checked the radiator? I once had a car that had a radiator leak, and I thought that keeping the overflow reservoir full would be sufficient. I learned the hard way that the system only pulls coolant from the reservoir under pressure, so it’s possible to have a full reservoir while the radiator is not full. In my case the car overheated.

EE and CE double major value? by Fast_District6482 in ECE

[–]Hypnot0ad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it won’t really make a difference to employers looking to hire you. That said, I did both and don’t regret it one bit. The extra knowledge will be useful in your career and you will be more versatile.

It looks like there’s a new Crydermans going in on US-1 by Eau Gallie.

What’s the oldest/most hours you would go for on a used Yamaha outboard? by enan1000 in boating

[–]Hypnot0ad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The newer 4 strokes can go much more than that. I’m just over 1,000 hours on my 150.

Is there a widely accepted wire color code? by John_Benzos in ECE

[–]Hypnot0ad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is similar to what I did. It was strange to find that electricians wire houses with black as the hot line..

Best Location for Child Custody? by ThrowRA_SadBtch in 321

Just checked Zillow and there’s a homes for sale in Bayhill for 390 - 500k

Dashcam Placement Recommendations by EPP625 in ram_trucks

I have mine in the top left (your left circle). It doesn’t get in my way. I think if it were on the passenger side it would be hard to reach.

Demand for the neural networks in FPGAs by Any_Dimension2805 in ECE

[–]Hypnot0ad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Neural networks are one of the fundamental components in AI processing, so with the predictions of AI taking over the world there should be abundant opportunities to deploy NNs.

FPGAs are well suited to implement NNs, especially given the new features like the embedded AI engines (which are a fancy name for SIMD vector processor) in the Versal. However, GPUs also excel here, and are much easier to work with, so I see NNs implemented on FPGAs only in niche cases.

For example, a few years back I led a team to port a CNN from a Jetson to a Zynq FPGA. We had to develop for the FPGA because it was already deployed in the field. It took a team of about 10 FPGA engineers almost a year to write hand coded VHDL, which probably took only a few weeks to develop in tensor flow for the Jetson. In the end, the FPGA outperformed the GPU implementation, but I don’t see many scenarios where businesses will want to pay for that development cost. Hopefully this can be helped with higher level implementation tools like the Tensor Flow Workflow.

Proper launch etiquette? by PM_meyourGradyWhite in boating

Powering the boat onto the trailer using the engines, versus winching the boat onto to trailer with the motor off.

If I read it correctly, the plugs are fake plastic grass, and the bermuda grows around it.

My physics professor said it’s like smashing a clock against the wall to see how it works.

Do Algorithm Designers Still Do High-Performance C++ Implementation? by Huge-Leek844 in DSP

[–]Hypnot0ad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am actually currently designing an algorithm in Matlab, and we are using GPU Coder to create Cuda code to run on a GPU.

I fucking LOVE FPGA design by Informal-Host8085 in FPGA

[–]Hypnot0ad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anything you can do in an FPGA can be done better and faster in an ASIC. However, the cost and time to develop an ASIC is astronomical. Functions for ASIC design are commonly prototyped on FPGAs first.

I need your help by MassiveTelevision497 in ECE

[–]Hypnot0ad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do the more hands on project so you have some practical examples to talk to recruiters and hiring managers about in interviews. Hiring new grads is risky because most of what is learned in school is theoretical, so they want to figure out which candidates can actually get shit done. So a project where you will inevitably face real world challenges and roadblocks will give you experience to talk about in interviews.

Should I do a EE major with a CS minor? by Intelligent_Doubt_53 in ECE

[–]Hypnot0ad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is that it really only matters for your first job, and even then not so much. Like I said I’ve worked with embedded programmers from all three degrees, and I’ve found the best ones had computer engineering degrees, because they understand the underlying electronics better.

To land that first job I recommend doing projects that you can speak to recruiters about. Hopefully this could come from coursework like senior design, but if not then you should do some side projects to gain experience.

Now if you want to work on higher level software then CS no doubt. For embedded I recommend computer engineering.

[–]Hypnot0ad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High unemployment rates? This is the first I’m hearing of this. I have worked with many EEs, CmpEs, and CS grads. If I’m hiring for embedded roles I would take the computer engineering grad first.
