Oh, you're in RAMP mode! Yeah, that drifts too much to hold a load calibration. This is expected behavior, it's designed to trade away precision to get speed. This will be worst on the 8350, which is completely unsynthesized, and

They've treated me fine -- the broken one I bought that way. YTOs have given me trouble, though. EDIT: obligatory, pictures https://photos.app.goo.gl/KwvnMGm5GyvnmgE58

Yes, I'd expect better (though maybe not necessarily 50dB+). Troubleshooting: 1. First suspect is always a bad calibration -- they tend to be unstable in addition to incorrect, but if you have anything with known(-ish) S parameters you

Oh wow, I was just transplanting some TC702 amplifiers to save the doubler in an old 50GHz HP signal generator... would that have been designed by these guys back when they were part of HP? https://www.keysight.com/us/e

It really is suitable for most transmission line applications, though, because transmission line impedance is a fixed target. Top-shelf 20-30GHz probes use this exact technique as their "front end" followed by a 50/100 ohm am

10 minutes during weekday business hours plus 30 for commute and 20 minutes of standing in line if you go at noon. Also, the discoverability of this workflow is complete dogshit. None of this is a problem for me, but I fully understand wh

Yes, but you want alignment even if you don't want censorship. A very intelligent but unaligned model will be prone to doing useless things like "auto-complete" your question into a more elaborate version or responding with &

Book recommendation: "Trade Wars are Class Wars" by Michael Pettis. If you don't buy the apologetics that permeate the popular economics sphere but still want an expert to walk you through the details, this is your book.

Maybe the program is dominated by a few people who got really, uhh, efficient at cranking out patents and the new prices reflect the hourly rate of keeping the hustle going rather than attracting new prospective inventors with fresh ideas.

Housing costs have been growing at 2x wages for 50 years. If space was a constraint then, imagine how it is now. How many times did boomers look at the two buttons before them, "make housing affordable" and "make housing a go

This just assumes someone else fixes the storage/overprovision problem, otherwise energy will get cheaper in the summer and more expensive in the winter until storing euros does not work.

Are other brand EVs selling at high prices? Or are they sitting on lots at high prices?

Sure, but I think it's fair to say that feedback has gotten too minimal when you have to put sleep(10) all over your diagnostic processes because there is no other way to tell if the computer/app is laggy or dead.

One time an ADC chip in my Rigol scope died. From the pinout, it was clearly a Chinese clone of a TI part. I wanted a replacement clone part, but it wasn't available under the clone name, so I bought the cheapest most suspicious listin

> you can simply disable them selectively Last time an ad-blocker caused a multi-hour debugging debacle, that turned out to not be the case. It was preventing me from logging into my bank even when it was supposedly disabled.

I use a 1Mii B03 connected to my PC through TOSLINK. It has a physical switch to toggle between low latency and high definition mode.

Hmm. Maybe I should try uBlock. I usually don't like adblockers -- both on principle, because I believe in paying for what I consume, and because they tend to subtly break a website and cause hours of headaches at least once a year --

Yes, TOSLINK is a godsend. It's immune to ground loops and motherboard manufacturers that don't give a shit, which is all of them, even ones that brand around having decent audio (ProArt I'm looking at you).

I suspect it has to do with the degree to which your past was plagued with cheap soap operas vs poorly performing video games.

To be fair it's an amazing last name and it feels like there probably is a story, it just has to do with this guy's ancestors rather than the assembler tool we all know and love.
