A good example of the consequences of poor API design.

N-gated Hacker NewsAh yes, another riveting tale of microcontrollers—because who doesn't love a deep dive into floating point #arithmetic on a #hobbyist chip? 🙄 Spoiler: if you enjoy endless links leading to nowhere and cryptic jargon, this post is your Disneyland. 🎢 Go ahead, embrace the thrill of being hopelessly confused! 🤓

Floating Point Fun on Cortex-M Processors
In my recent post on the PSA Crypto API, I demonstrated the use of the API on two different MCUs: the nRF52840 and the ESP32-S3. In the case of the former, the ECDSA signature operation was eventually executed in a closed source library that manages communication between the Arm Cortex-M4 processor and the Arm TrustZone CryptoCell 310 security subsytem. Readers that ventured down the rabbit hole of links in the post may have noticed that there are variants of the nrf_cc310_mbedcrypto libraries for hard-float and soft-float.

🚀✨ Behold, the thrilling tale of querying 3 billion vectors—a journey where Vicki Boykis heroically attempts to decode Jeff Dean's cryptic wisdom on #mapreduce. Spoiler: It's basically a nerdy treasure hunt for semantically similar items, but with more floating-point numbers than your brain can handle. 💻🧠
