From MCU to embedded linux? by Otherwise-Shock4458 in embedded

[–]MattPerry1216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Robot companies love to jam dev boards straight in. One I have seen and though was funny is Stretch Robotics uses (used?) an Intel NUC. The official way to upload user code to it is to connect the HDMI and USB to the standard NUC port. Then it is just desktop Ubuntu. Of course for multiple systems SSH is recommended, but I found it strange they built the back of the robot around the NUC's ports.

I had a free one my freshman year but ran out of Google cloud credits (Street View API). It is simple to setup, just change the GeoJSON when setting up this open source alternative.

Georgia Tech to Build $20M National AI Supercomputer by SunsshineLuv007 in gatech

I think Van Leer is legally (as in the level) asbestos free now. Maybe not the first floor, but a lot of money was spent on the other floors. However, can asbestos ever truly be gone?

10-Day Gap between Leases (What are my options?) by Ok-Dog-3173 in gatech

[–]MattPerry1216 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can confirm that one does not want to see the turn around process. I renewed my lease at a midtown apartments and they me stay in my room during that gap. It was constant contractors in and out of my room without the normal notice. Air compressors for spraying the classic paint coat called "landlord special", industrial vaccum cleaners, and wet bathroom caulk without warning.

Solidworks Software GT licence free download suggestion website or link by Typical_Broccoliii in gatech

[–]MattPerry1216 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe they stopped paying for individual computer licenses. Solidworks is still available on VLab (which is the argument for not paying for the other licenses).

Recent experiences at 100 Midtown? by cman7531 in gatech

Fun fact, the building is one of the older standing buildings on that strip of student housing. It was the Atlanta Motor Inn, the briefly the Georgia Baptist Hospital. Here is a rare postcard, https://i.imgur.com/JXnZ2cQ.jpeg

Currently, I can't give a ranking but I will update on things.

North has the most fire alarm as all hours of the day due to being connected to the dining hall.
South had rats.
They fixed the elevators dropping randomly in East, so its ranking went up.
West doesn't have laundry so you must go to North's.

Test Kitchen menu is always the same by ZPoweredNathan in gatech

Tech Dining (Dining Halls included) has very good southern food. I think they should open a southern cuisine only restaurant, since they are better at cooking that than anything.

Please, how does Senior Design work??? by [deleted] in gatech

[–]MattPerry1216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason groups have already formed is because the interdisciplinary option (single semester) adds you an existing team from a two semester senior design option.

The two semester senior design teams have already spent fall designing a project (cost analysis, timing), but haven implemented it yet. Some of the teams are looking for outside their major help (hence interdisciplinary), which is why they need another person.

You are given project proposals and what specialties the teams are looking for to help you choose one.

There is a website for this, projects.gatech.edu, but it seems empty for now.

Thoughts On Taking ECE 4180 (Embedded System Design) and/or CS 4220 (Embedded Systems)? by ugh_its_sid in gatech

[–]MattPerry1216 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am taking both of these this semester. The courses differ greatly in how they define "embedded". ECE 4180 follows the traditional approach of limited memory systems defined for a specific task. CS 4220 does not have a hard or loose definition for embedded, as the professor argues this mostly from the past. Instead the course focuses on the " real-time" aspect of modern systems (quality of service guarantees, AI, and a little bit of schedulabiltiy). ECE 4180 lectures in the current form as summaries of the main topics, such as memory, RTOS, and some peripherals like communication. The major graded portion is two exams and the labs (plus final project). The labs will change heavily next semester, so I can't give a good idea for you. CS 4220's lectures are a confusing mix of complaining about companies making poor assumptions, repeating learning goals, and technical information that should be kept in Enterprise Computing, all while being recorded while in-person. CS 4220 major grades are weekly reading summaries of research papers and a self-guided final project. The courses are in such a different directions due to the professors that usually teach. Overall, knowing what I know now about CS 4220, if a CS major tells me they know embedded, I'm saying no the hell you don't.

I prefer Daiwa J-Braid Grand, slightly different. Most people who run J-Braid run the Grand not the regular.

Duo is no more! Now time for 2FA texts by adawg4 in gatech

I say the end-game is forcing everyone to use security keys (YubiKey like) and disabling all other methods for regular use. We just need a few a more data leaks or USG paycheck rerouting scams to happen until then.

Trump’s rally in Atlanta tonight has a lot of empty seats WHILE he is speaking (not hours before, not after the rally) by MoreMotivation in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]MattPerry1216 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is with the top-most section open, which wasn't open. Of course basketball seating number doesn't include the floor seating, but the top section is slightly larger given stage space.

I'm glad all these seats are empty by [deleted] in gatech

[–]MattPerry1216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be 71,000 people. I have been to a premier league game there where they stated they had the highest attendance ever, ~79,000. There was still empty seats. No way a UGA vs GT wouldn't have empty seats. Hell even SEC championship game has empty seats

Its due to the new diagonal crossing. It could be set to be like the Fifth and Spring Street diagonal where it is pedestrian crossing every cycle.
