I've been trying out Snips, it's pretty cool and works reasonably well. A lot of the overall system is open source and runs offline, but the training happens on their servers and is closed source AFAIK. You download the trained mo

Conferencing, still. You'd think that we had gotten that covered now, but nope. Not just image and audio quality, but Google Hangouts on my phone (so I can carry it around the house and get tea etc during a meeting) slurps up oodles of

Interesting, I've used something quite similar to the scanning-through-prism technology a few years ago, though with an 8-sided polygon for the application of exposing PCB masks. We were looking at 3D printing too IIRC. To get to the d

The Hoge Veluwe might be one of a few, if not the only place in the Netherlands where you d find a road of some sort when you walk straight ahead for a few kilometers. I live near Eindhoven and I can't imagine a place where that would

Yes, as a Dutch scouts leader, can confirm we do this at least once a year. When I was a youth member, no GPS and no cell phone either as far as I remember. At our yearly JOTA-JOTI event we up the ante by going 'hunting' for the

AFAIK, some (less than?) 2% of energy put into the EUV source ends up at the wafer. The EUV-source has been the biggest struggle for ASML from what I gathered in media. Apparently, tiny droplets of tin are created by spinning some disk(s) a

Turing Tumble [0], where you trick pieces of plastic into doing arithmetic. Kinda weird how a computer chip is 'just' a rock (molten sand) scared into calculating stuff for us by flashing it with bright lights and nasty chemicals.

I guess it sucks being 'a poor sucker'. Social security can make that suck a lot less. Taxes can pay for that. It won't help you anymore, but I don't want to live in a world where everyone cares just about themselves.

I love taking the IC Bus + ICE from Eindhoven to Stuttgart. Takes me ~6.5 hours door-to-door, for c.a 140-150 euros round trip (with Bahncard 50). I could do this by car in roughly the same time and cost but then I couldn't work (at ca

That's got to be tough: successfully going ~300000km from Earth and then see it fail in the last couple hundred meters. With nothing you can do.
