"yea we wanna go from on-prem to cloud"

'...excuse me?'

"i know we're airgapped but make it work :)"

i was just using BPW34s :) i have a batch of different photodiodes that i was planning on swapping and comparing but i can't even make these work reliably...

currently limited by my 20MHz scope (and free time...), but i saw the expected pulses after they were drawn out long enough by the amplification circuit to validate it was working on my desk (https://physicsopenlab.org/2020/06/15/cern-diy-particle-dete...), but i think my issue is shielding the diodes without introducing noise?

this guy has to actually shave away some part of the diode to make it work? https://hackaday.io/project/204159-geigerwatch-a-sensitiv-ra...

for resolution, i'm only limited by whatever the bus company is throwing away that day ;) but i'd love to come up with an easy-to-produce design that can work per-pixel for arbitrary spacing

yup after seeing #2 at a museum and learning about the chemistry needing to keep it running, i started looking for something like #1, but i'm not able to get any PIN diode circuit properly reporting events with consistency compared to my GM tubes :(

#3 sounds fun! i'd like to turn this into something i can open-source and hang on a wall, emitting x-rays might make it a hard sell :P

after reading about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-event_upset#SEUs_and_ci... , i'm wondering if it's possible to use a suitably dense FPGA in a complicated enough design that any failure must be due to cosmic effects? monitoring ECC might not be enough https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_memory#Concept

currently trying to make a flip-dot display (think https://theartistbreakfast.com/works/spectral-flashbacks-ser...) but with some kind of radiation detector behind each pixel that will flip the dot when something passes through

i made a small 3x3 proof of concept using more expensive geiger tubes, and their really long 'z-axis' lengths made 'traces' happen very often, like a persistent cloud chamber

trying to find a reliable semiconductor (read:cheaper) method i can scale to an arbitrary number of pixels, but something seems to happen in between the bench and the wall :(

> Arguably, it looks a lot like conversion.

is this why media networks are buying social ai apps

careful dont let private equity hear you say that

multi-generational households

ty for 'tearing through' ;)

for incredibly simple parts that i can describe using measurements, i've had a lot of fun pointing a high-power ai at openscad and letting it iterate through making the design for me

it's still tough to turn it into something i can then keep fiddling with in freecad though

put on "tron: ares" in the background to fully appreciate the model designing something that will be 3d-printed :)

vinyls have secret songs on them ;)

yea all of modern semiconductors were built on a guy going "wouldnt it be cool if i could write using metal instead of ink"

i try to keep tabs on restaurants opening around me, and if one has something interesting, i text pretty much every friend i have if they want to check it out with me

only a few respond each time, and only about half the time one or two can make it out, but over time eventually all of them do

you fill the 3 liter bottle up to the top, and pour the contents into the 5 liter bottle

then you fill 3 liter bottle again, and pour the contents into the 5 liter bottle until the 5 liter one is full

empty the 5 liter bottle, and pour the 1 liter in the 3 liter bottle into the 5 liter bottle

fill the 3 liter bottle again and pour that into the 1 liter already in the 5 liter bottle to get 4 liters of water

> where does will come from?

your gut bacteria, navigating "you" towards novel nutrition to ingest and preprocess for them

commercial internet services would prefer that you forget the internet without them can in fact exist

i think the first thing they would program into it is "do not think of this being a simulation"

unless somehow knowledge of the simulation is part of the simulation?

then they would probably program thinking about the simulation into the simulation

like how does my virtualized environment know it's virtualized unless i explicitly set an environment variable somewhere; it just thinks it's 'root' unless it finds something (which may be a lie :) )

that was more of a signal to youtube creators to normalize their volume since windows doesnt let you do that anymore :(

similar to https://x.com/JenMsft/status/1381640311357628420/photo/1 : corporations need to understand that people don't have conversations where they randomly recommend carbonated beverages to each other

currently working on a blog for my friends that they can update by sending it an email

i've been administering a couple personal servers by email as well; they each run a small LLM and read emails sent to them, with a strict allowlist they can handle quite a lot of basic tasks: i've locked myself out of ssh from this ip please unban it, please email me when security logs are strange, what is the current status of the services on your server, etc.

til, thank you! i guess it's important for them we all coöperate on pröper spek :P

thought i was seeing this because some ebooks also have missing/poorly substituted ligatures for me

i thought jaywalking was the new yorker signature style :P

whats with the ree-s in the article...

totally

but i wouldnt stand on a soap box and yell that to the world without all that ^ nuance

but by the time i'm done with all that, i'm only preaching to the choir

it's this part:

> latency matters more than raw accuracy – think industrial inspection

it (rightfully) raises red flags in anyone when you hear someone confidently claim raw accuracy is _not_ important in things like _inspection_

thanks :) it was built rly for me/family/friends, but it costs nothing to run (lives on the same server as my portfolio)

doesnt have to be a hit, just has to exist i hope

thank you! in nyc, every restaurant must be licensed and pass a health inspection to operate, so i pulled in all of the health inspection reports :)

yay open data

i just built a map precisely to highlight restaurants in my area who choose _not_ to pay Google/Yelp :)

im hoping to see over the top of the haze / level the curves by building a platform for everyone to climb

with smaller battery-powered electronics, you typically want to sleep for as long as possible, and only wake to check if anything new has happened as quickly as possible before going back to sleep, the longer this duty cycle is acceptable for, the more battery life you'll get
