    That's really just photography in general. Mapping an analog input (photocurrent) to a pixel brightness.

    > Are the bands too wide for this to work? For wideband filters used for stars and galaxies, yes. Sometimes the filters are wider then the entire visible spectrum. For narrowband f…

    The problem with hyperspectral imaging is that it ends up throwing away 99.9% of all the light that hits your camera. It's been done for the sun and some very bright nebulae, but r…

    That's common in high end astophotography, and almost exclusively used at professional observatories. However, scientists like filters that are "rectangular", with a flat passband …

    Importantly, the planets aren't actually lined up nicely like on the site. Right now, Mars is ~5 times further then shown. That's why so many people were taking pictures of Mars ba…

    Except finding '-45 dB' is frustratingly common. Have a look at this random microphone datasheet from DigiKey: https://www.sameskydevices.com/product/resource/cmm-3125at-4... They …

    Another day, another LLM generated blog post on the front page. I'm not opposed to AI tools on principle, but why does this article exist? It's not because the author had anything …

    Just about all humor derives from some degree of suffering. Compared what the core could have done, the three deaths from the accident are nothing. Even things that are joked about…

    This is just a 185 stage device, but later ones would have thousands of stages, and could be chained together for even longer delays. Sample rates could also be much lower then 40 …

    NVIDIA and one step down the chain OpenAI are making lots of money, mostly by convincing people that LLMs solve all problems. LLMs are perfect for this, super flashy, with a ton of…
