When the black death hit Norway in 1349, 2/3 of the population was wiped out. The whole structure of society broke down. Most of the state and church was just gone. It took 300 years to get everything back in operation because most peo

When recorded music was invented, musicians protested. Recorded music was devoid of any vitality or soul. Recorded music still became a hit. Then we got the synthesizer. Again we got the same complaints, lifeless and without soul. The synth

I think you are correct on that one. How long will it take to run this neural net on cheap consumer devices? It might take more than 5 years. But if all the new AI stuff is not a hype, but continues to be used, we will probably see hardware

Innovation goes in steps and iterations ;) When mp3 came out, I could just barely play a song encoded from 44.1kHz/16 bit stereo on my PC, taking almost 100% CPU. Today they can be played on a cheap microcontroller. I like that they sh

The correct term is discrete circuit. We used to have circuits, and when integrated on one piece of silicone, we called them "integrated circuits", while the old ones became "discrete circuits".

When talking about wrong usage of Roman numbers, the first that comes to mind is a well known, and much copied, tattoo that writes 1975 not as MCMLXXV.

Now that internal combustion powered cars are down to less than 20% of new car sales in quite some countries, and has been for several years, I think we can safely say that the EV is not a fad and that the fossil technology is going the sam

Train travel tend to be much more comfortable than bus, car or plane. Especially if the plane takes as long time due to airports being located outside the city, security hazel, lots of stress at the airport and so on. The train cost more, b

What is the reason behind this thought? I know that most people think like this. Train should be cheaper than air. I guess it has to do with planes replacing plane, hence plane must be better, hence more expensive. But the reality is that t

Connect the led strip data pin to an available Io pin on the pi, connect the strips and to pi gnd pin and to a 5V power supply gnd pin, and connect the strips + to the 5V power supply. Then use a library on the pi, for example this: https:

Or just buy a cheap ESP32 board and a cheap WS2812 matrix from Ali Express. Cheap, works perfectly and easy to get started with due to good libraries.

You actually don't need more than the ESP32 and the led matrix. The LEDs are connected in series and you send a bit stream of RGB. Each led had an internal shift register with one input pin and one output pin, connected to the next LED

The article claims that the ESP32 costs $5. The reality is around half of that for the MCU, and around $3 for pre certified modules including crystal, PCB antenna or UF-L connector. So it's really affordable. Espressif has also launche
