fecal_henge··on ALICE detects the conversion of lead into gold at the LHC

Someone already bagsied that acronym in particle physics.

fecal_henge··on Progress toward fusion energy gain as measured against the Lawson criteria

I see you're in the coolant business

fecal_henge··on How are cyber criminals rolling in 2025?

This just got cancelled at my institution. I could have retained it if I argued strongly enough.

-not quite the same but similarly novel.

fecal_henge··on A Map of British Dialects (2023)

I was born in the peak district but never quite gained the accent. Didnt sound either like a townie or a sheep shagger.

I live in london also, but people cant place me. They sometimes guess Irish or German.

fecal_henge··on Intel sells 51% stake in Altera to private equity firm on a $8.75B valuation

Timing analysis is usually part of the synthesis and seems very comprehensive to me (I realise this statement may traumatise some firmware people). How hard it is to actively bypass this would be an interesting question.

I dont know how a Ring Osc specifically could burn out LUTs. All switching contributes to the device temperature. If they get too hot then they will enter thermal protection mode.

We run such oscillators as dummy payloads for thermal tests while we are waiting for the real firmware to be written.

fecal_henge··on AMD NPU and Xilinx Versal AI Engines Signal Processing in Radio Astronomy (2024) [pdf]

Are the boards significantly more expensive than the devices?

fecal_henge··on How a $2k 'Made in the USA' Phone Is Manufactured

Are there any other ways to source components?

fecal_henge··on Numbering should start at zero (1982)

In my (physics faculty) building 0 is the lowest floor. 2 is ground level.

I used to work in Civil Eng which started at either G or 0.

fecal_henge··on Numbering should start at zero (1982)

I'd certainly hope any floor was ⏚'ed.

fecal_henge··on Numbering should start at zero (1982)

A fifth of a decade you say?

fecal_henge··on Open source software for modeling soft materials

You could argue that millions and millions isnt enough, but leveraging the billions spent on AI might change things.

I'm not holding my breath either though.

fecal_henge··on DigiKey's Tariff Resources

Similarly my hobby involving ship to shore cranes is going to be painful.

Seriously though they have a lot of stock in their warehouse. If this is already imported and paid for then it should be exempt right?

The page doesnt state what happens to foreign customers. Does the duty only apply for domestic buyers?

fecal_henge··on Bloodflowtrixi.jl – 1D and 2D blood flow models for arterial circulation

Having good quality valves is how you die old. How come there is no source in the model?

fecal_henge··on 670nm red light exposure improved aged mitochondrial function, colour vision

What is sun?

fecal_henge··on Anyone can push updates to the doge.gov website

Can someone help me with what roro means?

fecal_henge··on UnitedHealth Is Sick of Everyone Complaining About Its Claim Denials

Look at all these 'big meddling government' nations doing so much worse than the US in healthcare statistics.

fecal_henge··on Emergence of collective oscillations in human crowds

Why are they showing power spectra with ± frequencies?Beyond looking pretty it is wasteful of figure real estate.

Just to add, this paper has nice figures generally!

fecal_henge··on Ingesting PDFs and why Gemini 2.0 changes everything

Is there an AI platform where I can paste a snip of a graph and it will generate a n th order polynomial regression for me of the trace?

fecal_henge··on Bloodletting recommended for Jersey residents after PFAS contamination

I am English, assumed this was about New Jersey when reading. Related; title credits of famous tv show set in Jersey.

fecal_henge··on Mercury's shadowy North Pole revealed by M-CAM 1

I think this is their terminology for exposure time. The sensor is integrating charge from incident photons during this period. Of course the image could be stacked also!

Edit: the sensor is integrating CURRENT. Charge is the integral!

fecal_henge··on Documenting an 1115 ft radio tower climb

I'd say their balls have a relative density in between bromine and tungsten. Uranium = customer service roles.

fecal_henge··on 'Obelisks': New class of life has been found in human digestive system

Splendido.

fecal_henge··on Testing for Thermal Issues Becomes More Difficult

Doesn't thinning make heat transfer easier at least to the package?

fecal_henge··on ' first' open-source ARMv9 motherboard surfaces – Radxa Orion O6

The circuitry (ie transistor level) of the FPGA is still closed no?

fecal_henge··on Physicists find particle that only has mass when moving in one direction

I really hope you prefix all your statements in life with that.

fecal_henge··on New LLM optimization technique slashes memory costs

But can it know love?

fecal_henge··on Plotting Prime Numbers (2021)

Not a mathematician either but I think some quadratics have a tendency to produce more primes than others. What you are seing is the characteristic of various quadratics when plotted in this way. I plotted something quite simmilar.

fecal_henge··on CADing and 3D printing like a software engineer

I bought a Stratasys J35 and its just a bucket to dump money into... I mean it can print absolutely tiny features but maintinance and consumables are so expensive.

Meanwhile my colleague bought a Bambu Carbon for I think 2% of the price of my J35 and its such a brilliant machine. Fillament printers just seem to be getting better and better.
