Ask HN: What bitstream should my Sram FPGA Architecture have on power on reset?**
I read somewhere that Sram can have specific values set by the manufacturer when powered on, and I see that as useful for implementing a Soft-Core in a Sram FPGA, but what bitstream should I bias the Sram to have immediately upon power on reset?
Like, I read that it was seen as a hardware trojan, like the manufacturer biased the sram to have a specific value upon power on reset.

I used to just put my servers together with some systemd files and scripts. But I recently decided to finally follow the herd and do the docker thing.
It has been so frustrating for me. I get the supposed plus (encpasulation, isolation, etc), but I just had a build that regressed for reasons I can not figure out (it's just an Elixir Phoenix app with a timescaledb). Out of the blue, my db init scripts aren't running all of a sudden (I did apt update the servers).

Ask HN: Do enterprises now consider the use of C/C++ based databases as bad?**
"What good is an open source database when it’s written in a mix of memory-unsafe language?"
A OLTP high performance Relational Database vendor has this section in their competitive report. I am guessing they are sharing this with their prospects. They have written their DB in GO, and are trying to throw shade at databases written in C/C++.
I have been writing database code in C/C++ for more than 13 years now, and there is no other language I wo ... ⌘ Read more
I am developing this social media platform as a solo founder
Hey everyone! I am a 19 y/o founder taking a gap year to build Airdel - a social media platform startup.

Ask HN: Isn't there a simpler way to run LLMs / models locally?**
Hi everyone,
I'm currently exploring a project idea : \*create an ultra-simple tool for launching open source LLM models locally, without the hassle, and I'd like to get your feedback.\*
\### The current problem:
I'm not a dev or into IT or anything, but I've become fascinated by the subject of local LLMs , but running an LLM model on your own PC can be a real pain in the ass :
Installation and hardware compatibility.
Manual management of models and depe ... ⌘ Read more
