Huh, and I thought I needed a Microsoft account, but this way I could maybe even use for the computers at work. Thanks!

0·22 days agoNot what you were asking about, but you reminded me of this video arguing that the LM741 is a relic and not a good choice for a modern circuit. IIRC the video also shortly explains some standard characteristics of an opamp, which could be interesting to you if you suspect a knowledge gap.
I have seen this (or a very similar) picture about five years ago and have thought about it nearly every time I heard the name Radcliffe. I am very thankful that you posted it here and I can finally save it as a reference.
Thanks for giving this reference! The book is out of print, but high-resolution scans can be downloaded here for free, which is endorsed by the original author apparently.

The origin of the alot is the blog hyperbole and a half, this article in particular. It is very cute tbh. I don’t find it hard to believe that somebody drew this particular alot in response later on.
I love your enthusiasm! But as someone who works in semiconductor development, I feel a bit like it is time to abandon this branch of the technology tree for now again. Maybe I am just disheartened from the PhD stress, but where does it really lead to right now? Following up on Moore’s Law right now just seems to promise higher efficiency and lower electricity demands while actually that is mainly greenwashing attempt IMO (lower resolution technologies are more energy and resurce efficient when considering resource demand during production; high device density leads usually to increase of the number of transistors which are operated parallely, so while the single FET is more efficient in dynamic operation, the whole chip might have much higher leakage). At the same time this efficiency is used as justification to just increase the calculation load whithout considering if it is useful (e.g. LLMs). Resources might be better allocated for More than Moore/architectural approaches e.g. for neuromorphic computing to actually reduce the immense AI computing load coming up.
Sorry for the rant, I think I gotta quit my job.
0·3 months agoI tried this with zeroPi and jellyfin, bit the Pi seemed constantly overwhelmed with displaying videos, so I got about a frame every 2 seconds (might have been a pi3b). Have you got any clue what the issue might be? It depended a lot on the particular file I wanted to play as well though, but I wasn’t able to find a pattern. Of two matroska/mp4 files one worked well, the other stuttered as hell.

I wish I could do some more reading, I just never do because my higher-ups bombard me with tasks and want me to publish all my results right away no matter how much background I know.
The weirdest marionette ever
Exactly. This will not have an effect on a regular reviewer who plays by the rules. But if they try to let an LLM do their reviewing job, it is fair to prevent negative consequences for your paper in this way.
Well, Kevin makes more sense to have gay sex with than Karen. At least if you are male.
There is different health implications connected to microplastics like infertility and cardiovascular diseases, although the connections are not quite understood yet. The amount of microplastics in the human body is very alarming though. A study with brain samples found 0.5w% of plastics, which corresponds to roughly 6g of plastic in a brain. That’s a credit card’s worth of plastic.
This article should give some overview over different findings and implications:

What is a sprite in this context? As in the red part?
1·6 months agoElisabeth initially studied at St John Berchmans College in Marollen, Brussels from September 2004 until August 2018.
Something is off here. Ok, apparently the St John Berchmans College is a secondary school, but still I guess it should say 2014. Surely she didn’t start school when three yeard old.
(Not opposing your original point, this just caught my eye.)
They didn’t really get the importance of handwashing before the 1840s as far as I know.
Probably depending on the country and according legislature, but as a pedestrian, I often wish for more scooters to take to the road as well. In most aspects they are very equivalent to bicycles and just as fast and dangerous. Worst of all are those scooter drivers who switch between road and sidewalk with every traffic light.
