and @hollasch and I are proud/happy to announce that we’ll be releasing the alpha of the next major version of raytracing.github.io on day 1 of @Siggraph (final version by end of 2023).

I asked AI to draw a picture of a levitating super conductor and it gave me this

You can use Blender's geometry nodes to solve physics and electromagnetic equations such as Biot-Savart law. You can calculate the magnetic field of a coil anywhere in 3D space and visualise the magnetic fields. Additionally, you can see in real-time how the magnetic field lines change as the coil gets deformed and twisted! #geometrynodes #b3d #blender3d #electronics #Engineering #Science #physics #kicad #circuits

relaxing with kicad for the first time in years. i swear its a kind of therapy, then the board arrives and you have to code stuff and it all gets undone! still, the rp2040 is *such a nice chip* to route for. I was able to do this one in almost entirely 1 layer, almost no vias.

2 absolutely amazing quotes from this:
1. "Be wrong fast"
2. "When people give you notes, when they tell you what's wrong, they're usually right. When they tell you how to fix it, they're wrong"

Just pushed a minimal "blink the neopixel" example for the QT Py RP2040 dev board given that I couldn't actually find one.
Also, the PIO thing on the the RP2040 is very slick.

WHY do we divide by n-1 when computing the sample variance?
I've never seen this way of explaining this concept anywhere else.
Read on if you want a completely new way of looking at this.

Your CI/CD pipeline should start on the developer's laptop. If it only starts after a git push, you're slowing your team down and throwing money down the drain.
CI/CD "shift left" is the lowest-hanging fruit for engineering efficiency in teams of 20+ engineers IMO.

The world is at war.
A great endeavor happens in secret in New Mexico.
And you are a horrible goose.
