If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. Enough said.

Spectra-Physics, the first laser company to exceed $100M in sales and get a major stock listing, began as a semiconductor stepper company. They pivoted to making HeNe lasers.

Very skeptical that this is a practical means to supply 1500C to an industrial process. Do they plan on piping heat via liquid metal, or what? Do you shutdown on cloudy days and sen everyone home?

There are only two uses cases left for money center banks. (1) You might be able to get a branch safe deposit box. (2) Same day payment on credit cards, that bank. Fidelity, and perhaps other zero fee brokerage accounts handle everything el

The coolest coax cable is the YK-217 cable. 14.8 ohm impedance. 25kv. The center conductor was a 6mm plastic rod. Then came the braided inner conductor, covered with some very thin black plastic shit. Then some serious HV insulation, f

Since I’ve always been terrible at abstract linear algebra, I would request that someone do a simple problem, say finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a 3 x 3 Hermitian matrix with three distinct eigenvalues. I’d also be curious und

Never underestimate the nerds on YC. Want to lose points? Make fun of time wasting nostalgia projects. Make fun of anything cellular automata. Never fails.

Heh heh. “Sure, your iPhone is 10X faster, and it’s completely useless to own one, but admit it . . you really want one, don’t you?” NO, I want an 11 Pro with them three cameras!! (But I am waiting for someone to emulate a Cray on a phone.)

So how do you formulate a useful problem such that a quantum computer will have the amplitudes interfere to create the answer? Can the low number of Q-bit computers available factor small integers, for instance?

First, do a couple of problems in elementary quantum mechanics. Then, see if still “strikes you lately.”
