Eyebrow raising errata, despicable documentation and abhorrent app notes.

We should probably consider just any other display in the world than this one, but actually yes, why not. patentimages.storage.googlea…

randomly browsing trademarks, as one does, I scrolled past this one, which clearly is for a company that produces condoms, right? no, it's a conference for elasticsearch, obviously.

i really cannot stress this enough, please, for the love of God, write your project's documentation in English, not Claudish

RFC 1149 was written expressly for this purpose and yet people insist on using things like programmed delays rather than just implementing it.
Spent 3 weeks building a texting app slower than email. Messages fly at pigeon speed — LA to NYC takes 22 hrs. Sometimes the bird dies & the message isn’t delivered.

the fun stuff is always in the patents.
Nice. Drones with tasers. Fucking awesome /s patents.google.com/patent/US…

There's a distinction - the ones that will harm/kill you are kinda clip art with it. The ones that will kill you *and other people too* are usually a bit more brutalist/stark with things.

This datasheet was my textbook one semester. Kids these days don't know how easy they have it.

oh no. oh no no no. I have a strong hunch that this may have contributed significantly to the dataset that went towards that "annoying AI overdub narrator guy" that plagues video clips these days. and it's absolutely ruined the joy of having this on in the background. see this is why we can't have nice thngs.

Does this hold if you first agree on a pool of words? as in, both bot and human come up with a larger list, and you pull common suggestions into a pool that both subsequently pick a list from? probably not, because I would imagine that's the tell, but I'm curious...
One of my favorite findings about LLM text detection is that if you make a random list of 100 words, it'll flag as human-generated. But if you ask an LLM to make a random list of 100 words, it'll flag as AI-generated.

"Well fine, I'll make my own Analytics panel, with hookers, and blackjack!" Ok maybe not, but it will at least let me get granular, tweet-level data out of this god forsaken platform.

New PCB revision assembled and other news. We've published a new Dev Log: ∙ New PCB revision assembled. The new revision includes the new haptic motor and eSIM chip, improved battery connector, and much more. ∙ Flipper One Dev Kit and 10-inch Rack unit. See how we develop and test devices in our lab. ∙ Flipper OS profiles. See the technology that enables Flipper One to switch between a router, TV media box, and desktop computer OS — in just a few seconds. ∙ Multifunctional device on the USB-C1 port. When you connect Flipper One to another computer, it now shows up as a mass storage device, virtual LAN adapter, and more. ∙ Flipper OS installer. Explore the new open source project that (re)installs Flipper OS directly from the boot menu, no other computer needed. docs.flipper.net/one/dev-log…

There's a little knowledge that you can leave here with, from a couple of good app notes from @TXInstruments 1- How (Not) to Decouple High-Speed Operational Amplifiers ti.com/lit/an/sloa069/sloa06…

in my defence, I naively assumed this would be a lot easier to put into pictures than it was. also, totally unrelated, if you want to crash a background remover, throw a Klein bottle, or some other non-orientable surface at it.

This makes sense though, distorting the "normal" lens surface faces to correct for the varying refraction of a given wavelength across the range... researchgate.net/publication…

This stuff actually becomes a bit of an issue with experiments running at CERN, where formation can be promoted when the cryogenic cooling liquids get blasted with ionizing radiation!
Nah, this one is the terror, it's slightly more swole, very much more unstable explosive brother. This photo makes me uncomfortable - good ol' liquid Ozone.

This amazing website, called "Worse on Purpose," is cataloguing all the ways companies are deliberately and secretively degrading their own products As usual, in most cases the culprit is private equity extracting enormous sums while everyone else is left worse off.

Quick update on the electrostatic actuator I’m building. I haven’t posted in a while, but development is on track. Quick reminder of why electrostatics rules: - direct drive, no gearbox - avoids I^2R overheating problems - costs basically nothing to make
