This is cool! I have recently been building a "life admin" system that is focused around keeping track of bills and insurance reimbursements, and I am currently extending it to support a recipe database. My data model…
In simple terms, this works by doing an XOR on the outputs and if they disagree, performing a fault recovery. There's also space systems that use 3 processors and a majority vote for the correct output, but that's…
It's not about the whole microcontroller having less than 64kB of memory - it's that each WASM module has a minimum memory size of 64kB, regardless of how much it actually requires. Also, if you need 65kB of memory, you…
I use this app on all my Macbooks — it's great!
I've always wanted a Shaper Origin, but the cost and subscription fee required for accessing some features always turned me off. I don't need it for anything other than fun hobby projects and couldn't justify it. Now I…
Sadly, Useful Sensors seems to have pivoted to other edge AI tech and no longer sells this or their person detector.
I spent a LOT of time on this website as a 90's kid. One of many that inspired me to get an EE degree. Projects like this always felt like some incredible magic, and came with an artistic aesthetic that I find…
Thank you (and the GP) for the correction! I'll admit this lesson came to me a decade ago and I am speaking to a rule of thumb I developed as a result. Time to update my knowledge banks.
On your note about capacitor sizes — at my first EE job, my boss taught me about capacitance-voltage derating[0] for ceramic capacitors and it was quite the revelation. There is a significant inverse relationship…
I live in Alameda and this place is such a local gem. The owners are really genuine people too. Great place to spend some time! They also own a whole warehouse out at Alameda Point filled with machines. I know they have…
As a former Fit owner, I wish I had thought of this! The AC was really bad. We did a lot of road trips and it really struggled out on the long desert highway stretches.
Just op-amps and FETs for the active components. The design from my memory was: - To get position, 2 integrators were applied to an adjustable voltage representing gravity. - The FETs were used to set initial states of…
In my upper-division analog electronics class (the hard one), our lab project throughout the quarter was to build an analog computer that simulated the physics of a bouncing ball. Physical variables of the system were…
That's really interesting. For me, I very much do NOT enjoy the taste of truffles in restaurant dishes because it's often so overbearing. I just don't find the flavor interesting, and it's very singular. Perhaps I would…
This is a great resource for why Starship is groundbreaking. So much so, it’s not even really comprehensive to the existing space-industrial complex. https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2021/10/28/starship-is-st...
Check out this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF_9YcehCZo The source code isn't hiding in a repo somewhere for security reasons — it's spread around on various pieces of paper and computers over the last 50…
It's not quite that simple: https://carnegiemuseums.org/magazine-archive/1997/mayjun/dep... However, one misnomer remains true — a Strawberry isn't actually a 'berry'.
Awesome! That is a vastly more complex machine and action than I was expecting. Seems like there is more to the process than just flipping it over.
Unfortunately since it’s an active feature it requires power, meaning any wired headset will require a battery or other power source. A wired headset plus my mixer gives me an opportunity to tinker and upgrade my setup…
It really does surprise me too. Myself and my team are all technical sales folks with engineering backgrounds, and we naturally optimize for this sort of thing — all of us have some form of “advanced” setup that’s been…
I optimized for this style setup about a year into the pandemic, but using a Beyerdynamic MX300 wired gaming headset. The headset is closed-back, so to get voice feedback ("sidetone") I use an inexpensive Behringer…
I highly recommend trying a restaurant supply store, like Chef's Toys. Most of them don't require a business license to go to (the ones that do typically sell food items). They sell primarily to commercial kitchens and…
Love the retro design, but from the looks of it, it's a heavy and fairly bulky item to drag around. I know there is no Pi 5 variant of the compute module yet, but it seems like a safe assumption one is on the way — if…
They specifically called out "We get to see how businesses operate under the US government policies when they act on the web" — it's not a specific dig on Android.
I helped my mom transplant a large agave plant and got in contact with a considerable amount of sap in the process — it's extremely uncomfortable and it took probably 3 months for the resulting rash to go away on my…
