Thanks for sharing that list Nat! I'll have a proper read through it today, but I have already spotted a few entries that I want to dig into!!

> I want to understand why we still have physical monitors and look for ways to replace them. -> This is also a topic I have been interested in, but I have never had a chance to try the latest products myself, mostly due to the costs and the fact that I am not based in the US. Did you try any yourself?

I am in the same boat for space and med tech. I do have a degree in physics, in which I did some quantum physics and quantum computing basics. I really enjoyed it, back then, and have been keeping an eye on the latest advancements since then, but haven't dug in too much. Might be a good time to do so!

Thanks! I actually did work in the battery/energy field for a bit, and the automations and optimisations that could be made using AI were definitely interesting and inspiring, if only because of the scale of the impact they could have! Will have a listen to the podcast tonight

Wow, thanks for sharing this! I had no idea these scrolls even existed, and what a massive challenge it is. Technically and historically. Definitely one of the most interesting application of AI I've seen in a while. I was definitely on the negative side of my "conflicted" feelings about AI when making this post and this has actually made me feel better :)

I've stuck to software all these years because I know hardware is be a dangerous hobby for me to start...I am going to end up with so much stuff because I'll want to try this and this and that but I guess it is worth it at this point! Seems to be so much on that front that I've never played with, and it'll probably push me to start new side projects which is good! Any specific fun tutorials or projects that you would recommend starting with?

It's really funny how many of the comments here mention 3D printing, I guess there must really be something to it! Thanks for your explanations as well, I didn't realise it had become that cheap (relatively speaking, of course). Never had the money to play with it when it came out but will definitely give it a go. Are second-hand printers a bad idea in general or is it safe?

Didn't even know what a raman spectrometer was and had to google it. Interesting stuff for sure, so thank you! Had a look at these github accounts as well and will definitely have a browse in their repos tonight.

Hahaha no I am not a bot, I just tend to read quietly more than actively participate!
