Relatedly, is there a good open replacement for ADS/Microwave Office? I've seen QUCS/QUCS studio but don't know if there's others out there? Last I looked, the more general SPICE solvers don't support S-param b

You should look up Google's Project Ara. I was really excited for it at the time (2014), but alas, it never made it to market.

In the case of a 0% grace period sure I agree, but otherwise in no world is credit card interest cheaper than a mortgage over the same time period.

Agreed the algorithm is significantly flawed. I often have the experience of being interested in a one-off video, but don't watch it because I don't want to pollute the algorithm recommendations with similar stuff.

The article mentions SiGe at the Sherman site, which is an RF node. These are usually at 22-100+ nm scale, so "mature" or "foundational" compared to 2nm stuff, but the really tight nodes aren't always inherently bet

Very impressed! In the past when I've asked chatGPT for styling / design stuff, it makes technically correct CSS, but with terrible design sense. This made a functional color palette, appropriate decorators, and cohesive style --

I mean, if a mega corp like Google or Amazon had plus/minus 10% of their headcount, as a lay observer I don't think I'd really be able to detect the difference in output either. That doesn't mean it isn't a real pro

I could imagine the specific combination where the shapes colors match the original could get into trademark territory, as the colors have no in-game requirement to be those specific values.

Lots of people talking about how this looks like 2000's clipart, (and I'm not here to disagree) but seems like no one is talking about how these appear to be full 3D models that can be manipulated. AirBnb is actually being fairly

Really cool collection! It seems like these are just photographed on a desk? Would recommend a flatbed scanner if you don't have one already!

This gives me the silly idea to go try to measure the power consumption of the local data center by measuring the magnetic field coming off the utility lines.

This was a really great read (read the whole travelogue), and I'm really glad these photos are still being hosted. I always wonder how long the shelf life of this sort freely published content will be. Even within the blog, he includes

Is there a term for this trend in web design, with defaulting to dark mode and having slick gradients everywhere?

Nice idea. I worked for a while on a "computer blue book", e.g. to answer the question how much a laptop of given specs should cost. For something like laptops, I recommend providing the option to look at a CPU benchmark score.

I'm getting mixed results with the co-drawing demo, in terms of understanding what stick figures are, which seems pretty important for the 99% of us who can't draw a realistic human. I was hoping to sketch a scene, and let the mod

Recently started building a rules-engine for Warhammer 40k, so that I can finally play a game RTS-style in the browser. Hopefully one day I'll get to a public lobby / matchmaking (think chess.com for WH40k). It's something I&

At a glance, it sounds like John is the bald man? If we're treating this as a riddle, it doesn't seem incomprehensible. Whether riddles are a fair test is another question.

Taking this a step farther; both AIs also deeply understand and advocate for their respective 'owner', so rather than simply exchanging a formatted message, they're evaluating the purpose and potential fit of the relationship

Just want to say the interactive widgets being actually hooked up to an LLM was very fun. To continue bashing on gmail/gemini, the worst offender in my opinion is the giant "Summarize this email" button, sitting on top of a o

By this logic disabled people would not class as "Generally Intelligent" because they might have physical "interface" limitations. Similarly I wouldn't be "Generally Intelligent" by this definition if you

Fun, though I'm apparently terrible at this -- avg 14 yr off. UI note: the statistics tab shows games played: 2 when I only played once, and the lifetime points appears to be double my one game.

A few other points on further reflection: - If you're giving us all the factors, and all factors are necessary (e.g. to make units work out), then clicking them is a bit of a pointless activity. You could just give them as a list of sl

It looks very nice visually, but I think the input sliders are way too narrow. Point in fact, in this example they have roughly a 2:1 range, which means virtually any combination of inputs 'wins' the game (is within 1 order of mag

Congrats, that's a great achievement! I'd be very curious if you could share what that process looked like in general? Did they reach out to you, how did they find you? Were they interested in the gameplay alone, or the player cou

Right, the Wired article is just a 1:1 reprint of the Quanta article. Both lack a substantive description of the algorithms in question

I agree things like the slit experiments are easily explained by classical waves, and thus seem to point to particles being waves; and I see no inherent reason to bring up probability distributions and such to answer that observation. Where

I was hoping they'd have a discussion of the algorithm itself. Quanta is usually good about making these sorts of things approachable. In any case, the full paper is here [1] if you don't want to scroll through the Wired article.
