> A photo frame in your home that rotates through a set of photos.

The e-ink photo frames that do this pretty much all use spectra panels instead of kaleido panels. Kaleido is a grayscale eink panel with a color filter array on top, spectra uses eink cells with up to six different pigments.

Spectra ends up being much brighter/clearer and with much better color fidelity (like nice magazine print vs color newspaper), but the downside is that it can take like 30 seconds to properly refresh the panel. That's unacceptable for a tablet, but fine for a photo frame.

4 transistors for a two-input NAND gate in CMOS.

As always, correlation does not imply causation. Someone who is actively playing with the title of their chrome extension may also be playing with any of a dozen other knobs -- all you've observed is that the lights seem to be on over there.

I miss the old Steve Yegge that actually knew how to write coherently. AI psychosis is apparently a hell of a drug... this is pages and pages of complete dreck.

They're so much louder now, though.

I use my own very similar version of this spsc lock-free ring buffer on almost every embedded project I work on that has to stream any sort of sampled data (e.g. audio). You can even have the consumer end be a DMA into something like a uart or USB peripheral so your microcontroller userspace doesn't have to touch the hardware.

Real, genuinely confused human here: Can someone please clarify whether or not gas town is/was a joke? I've searched repeatedly and can't find anything that looks like an obvious tell, and I'm not sure if this is because it's actually real and people are taking it seriously, or because the pages and pages of discourse surrounding it is AI generated and taking itself literally.

If it's not a joke... I have no words. You've all gone insane.

Excuse me, what?

What a misunderstanding -- glass transition temperature means different things for thermoplastics (i.e. anything that comes out of an FDM printer like the CF-ABS in question) and for thermosetting resins like epoxy that actually undergo molecular cross-linking during the curing phase. Thermoplastics will get soft and can deform without limit, while thermosets get rubbery but still more or less hold their formed shape.

Hey, Joe! This is one of my favorite cello pieces -- so hauntingly beautiful. I've probably listened to Janos Starker's performance dozens of times, but I also liked Inbal Segev's version. Parts of it seemed brighter somehow.

Fuel grade is like 3%. It's exponentially harder to go from 3%-60% (months-years) than 60%-90%(days-weeks). So no, the only reason to enrich that high is to keep your breakout time threateningly short.
