Pardon my shitposting.

Thriving in the gap between software and hardware.

A fucking flower.

Ever heard of the game Shenzhen I/O? That WAS my day job.

AI slop picture i swear. Inkjet heads essentially boils ink to jet (see?) it out of tiny nozzels. Never drips like that.

Yes i didn't bother reading the caption.

>home NAS setups aren't realistic for most users

Citation needed. Get a Synology NAS and use their Photos app which backups Live photos on both iDevices and Androids. Buy it for life.

It's very likely that PCB is made in KiCAD seeing the fonts. I really really hope they make the project files available. That would be a sick example project.

Also, obligatory ꙮ

I dig that PCB design. The panopticon (?) artwork and how the decoupling caps are lined up perfectly along the circumference.

This post links to Quanta [https://www.quantamagazine.org/new-book-sorting-algorithm-al...], which links to the actual paper [https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.00807].

Tbh I was expecting a supercharged Dewey Decimals...

Imagine that thing painted neon green and hurling down the highway.

For someone who has dabbled in electronics my first impression is "this is useless". Soldor wick is basically multi-stranded copper wires. You can already cut it with whatever snips you have on your bench.

But Hakko is Japanese i think? They like to release wild products. I remember Makita releasing a microwave oven and coffee maker that uses their battery and has their color scheme.

The design is pretty modern. But what is with the choice of the Kodak CCD sensor? CCD cameras got a resurgence in Chinese communities with second-hand camera prices increased like tenfold.

Also see Apertus Axiom where they also used the Zynq but used one hell of a CMOS sensor that can do 4K 300FPS.

A part of me really wants to push this and see how far it would go. Why stop at AM? Add in shortwave radio and let us listen to stations on the other side of the earth.

Do you need latency measured in nanoseconds or multiplexing hundreds of sensors? Otherwise it makes a lot more sense to use a Cortex-M or Cortex-A.

For your second example it's impossible to find a YouTube video of Chika dance that is available in every country. Try this: https://streamable.com/0hrdh

It's remarkable how smooth the animation is. And how natural the character's movements are. This scene jumps over the uncanny valley straight into being enjoyable.

And I think there's an AI paper from a Chinese researcher using this video as a demo.

>And the beautiful thing about adaptive attacks is that they look exactly like Hollywood, it's beautiful! Because you see them flipping and going through values, getting it right and moving to the next one, which you all told it was fake, it was not!

Wenext. I used it from single quantities up to a couple hundred pieces. They assign a human in the loop to check your model that you can email to.

Hard to believe it's only 50 years old because of how mechanical and simple the cube is compared to other gadgets of that time.

I remember 15 years ago finding many variants of cube with different sizes and number of dimensions (yes, there is a video game of a 4D or 5D rubiks cube).
