Why feed it photos of a photo when you could just feed it the photo that was printed out?

It’s hard to imagine anyone wanting this to be real more than I do, but this is nowhere close to being ready to do actual work. Photographing real PCBs is hard, there is no fiducia…

For the bottom 99.9% of wealthy people, it is not a good thing.

Eric Schmidt is, in his own words, an arms dealer now and is driving the R&D of autonomous A.I. weapons.

I guess I missed it and was hoping for a deeper dive.

I think it's odd to make a whole video about a DIY rear-projection television without using the phrase 'rear-projection television'. It's novel to bounce it off the ceiling, and it…

As someone with over a decade in industrial manufacturing, there is only ever the in-group of the masters, and the out-group of the serfs. Actually making things is merely the mean…

I am voicing my opinion in which I believe in strongly, nothing more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlO2gcs1YvM

You are missing the forest for the trees. This is an aerospace vehicle capable of flying in the air indefinitely. How many drones can you fit on a vehicle? How many vehicles can yo…

I like how the article glazes over the fact that this is drone swarm delivery tech. You are naive to think otherwise.

Apparently, the rabbit hole goes deeper. The wayback machine puts the "AI Generated" description on the cheese website at August 7th, 2020. The AI didn't hallucinate anything becau…

If this worked well you would imagine a demo consisting of more than a single through-hole component.

What is the overlap of people who are reading a blogpost about Cloudflare standards and people who need a metaphor to understand what compression is? You have 7 paragraphs of highl…

Driven at 1 amp, ~2 inches from skin, ~5 minutes, twice daily. 660nm seemed to work better. Note that 850nm light is not visible and exceptionally dangerous. You will burn your eye…

Anecdotally, I designed and built a simple 'LED on a stick' to emit 660nm or 850nm red light at levels that cause eye damage and found it cuts wound healing time roughly in half.

Wait until you hear the news about eggs.

If you photograph and stitch a panorama of a CD at a resolution with the data visible and distribute it under your copyright, is it piracy?

Truly remarkable that technology can disrupt any industry— even one that has been around for millennia, like pimping.

There is a direct parallel from companies using open source code to build monetization platforms while paying open source developers nothing; to companies using user generated cont…

For this PCB, the smallest targets are about 0.2mm in diameter. In terms of precision robotics, this is very manageable. A robotic soldering iron, or even a laser soldering system,…

I know very little other than it appears the two most popular sources are Zillion x Work, and XinZhiZao, both of which appear to be based out of China.

Thank you so much for the bandwidth. I would like to do this for boardscans going forward, but I don't have the hosting infrastructure. I know OSD can do overlays, it would be awes…

I didn't take a depopulated panorama because I did all the photography without an automated stage, which is what I'm currently working on. There are some boardscans that are depopu…

Yep!

It's just unique spot to hold each part. There are 8 trays with 100 pockets each, so if you wanted to know a specific component's electrical properties, I could look up which tray …
